CelticGypsy · #16 06-11-2005, 01:42 PM

Dreammms, that was a lovely story. Thanks for sharing it

1) Do you believe in love at first sight? No, I think it is lust or natural attraction for that person in the beginning. Love takes time. It happens once you know all the good/bad things about that person and still want to be with them

2) If given the choice of 1 year in love with the man or woman you’ve always wanted, after which time you would be alone for the remainder of your life (or) 50 years in a good relationship, but with little passion, which would you choose? I would choose 1 year of being in love with the person I always wanted.

3) Describe your ideal mate. Have you ever come close to finding this person?
He is tall, has blonde hair (ok, he use to), very intelligent, funny, kind, loving, generous, thoughtful, hard worker, good father, good provider, lover, ect.....I married him

4) Do you believe in “it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” or do you prefer to “play it safe”? It is better to have loved.

5) On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), rate how important sex is to you in a relationship? Frequency, quality or both? Probably a 5. Quality is more important. When you get older, it won't matter that much

6) Have you ever written a poem or a song for someone you loved? Yes.

7) Destiny has paid you a visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. The hitch is, he or she is in a relationship or married already. Do you go for it or move on? I could never, never ruin someone's relationship or marriage. I would definitely move on and find someone for myself.

8) Destiny has paid you another visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. However, you find out that this person has 6 months to live. Do you go for it or avoid the ultimate pain this relationship will cause you? I would want to spend 6 months with someone that I truely loved and cared for.

9) Put the following four relationship characteristics in your order of preference (1 being the highest, 4 the lowest): Communication. Sex. Trust. Wealth.
1. Communication, if you have this, you will have the others

2. Trust
3. Sex
4. Wealth

10) Would you ever marry for money? I have dated people who had money. They were boring and snobs. I married a guy that had nothing when we first met. He turned out to be more fun and more adventurous than the rich guys

11) Would you die for the person you love? Yes.

12) Do you see yourself as a faithful lover or one who might be prone to stray? Always faithful.

13) How many times have you been in love? A few times but I married the love of my life.

14) How many times do you feel a person can love in a lifetime (with different partners)? Maybe three times.

15) Do you believe it is possible and even probable, to be in love with two people at the same time? Possible and it can happen

especially when you are engaged. haha

16) What is the one thing you must have in a relationship and cannot compromise on or give up? Communication and trust

17) What is the one thing you will not tolerate in a relationship? I cannot stand dishonest people.

18) Do you believe that saying or hearing the words “I love you” on a daily basis is necessary in a relationship? It is not necessary. Actions speak louder than words in a relationship.

19) Do you believe in destiny and soul mates or do you feel it is all the luck of the draw or random? I believe in fate or destiny and it does happen.

20) How many soul mates does one person have in a lifetime? Have you found yours? If not, do you feel sure you will?

I think a friend/parent/child can be a soulmate. When it comes to lovers/spouses I really don't think it happens that much. I need someone that agrees with me on important issues like how we raise our children or want similar goals as a family but if he thought like me and agreed with me all the time, I would be totally bored with him. Who wants to marry someone like themselves

I have been married for almost 26 yrs and I am glad I married someone totally different from me but always put me first in his life and vice versa

Violet · #17 06-11-2005, 02:19 PM

Okay, I'll jump in on this one....

1) Do you believe in love at first sight?

I'm a hopeless romantic, so I have to say yes

2) If given the choice of 1 year in love with the man or woman you’ve always wanted, after which time you would be alone for the remainder of your life (or) 50 years in a good relationship, but with little passion, which would you choose?

Well, I'm pretty much right in the middle of option 2. We've been together for 22 years, married for 17. Started out as friends, and we have a great relationship, but he's not the most romantic/passionate person in the world. Sometimes I do feel sorry for myself that there's not more romance in my life, but we still have a pretty good marriage.

3) Describe your ideal mate. Have you ever come close to finding this person?

Blonde, blue eyes, funny, kind, loves kids, romantic (see a trend here?

)

4) Do you believe in “it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” or do you prefer to “play it safe”?

The first one.

5) On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), rate how important sex is to you in a relationship? Frequency, quality or both?

Oh gees... for me, I'd say 4. My husband would definitely say 10. I go for quality; he goes for frequency.

6) Have you ever written a poem or a song for someone you loved?

No. I'm not that creative.

7) Destiny has paid you a visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. The hitch is, he or she is in a relationship or married already. Do you go for it or move on?

Proceed with caution, because chances are you'll be the one to get hurt..

8) Destiny has paid you another visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. However, you find out that this person has 6 months to live. Do you go for it or avoid the ultimate pain this relationship will cause you?

go for it

9) Put the following four relationship characteristics in your order of preference (1 being the highest, 4 the lowest): Communication. Sex. Trust. Wealth.

Trust, Communication, Wealth, Trust

10) Would you ever marry for money?

No.

11) Would you die for the person you love?

Before I became a mom, I'd have said yes. Now I'd say I'd only die for my daughter. She needs me too much to say I'd die for my husband.

12) Do you see yourself as a faithful lover or one who might be prone to stray?

Very faithful

13) How many times have you been in love?

two

14) How many times do you feel a person can love in a lifetime (with different partners)?

Don't know.

15) Do you believe it is possible and even probable, to be in love with two people at the same time?

Yes.

16) What is the one thing you must have in a relationship and cannot compromise on or give up?

Trust

17) What is the one thing you will not tolerate in a relationship?

Lying

18) Do you believe that saying or hearing the words “I love you” on a daily basis is necessary in a relationship?

Yes. Even though he's not romantic, this is how we end every single day.

19) Do you believe in destiny and soul mates or do you feel it is all the luck of the draw or random?

I do believe in soul mates and destiny.

20) How many soul mates does one person have in a lifetime? Have you found yours? If not, do you feel sure you will?

Probably more than one. Yes, I found mine, even if he is a jackass sometimes!

1) Do you believe in love at first sight?
Hmm. I believe you can be smitten with someone "at first sight." Certainly in lust "at first sight." But for me, at least, love only comes once a solid foundation is built.

2) If given the choice of 1 year in love with the man or woman you’ve always wanted, after which time you would be alone for the remainder of your life (or) 50 years in a good relationship, but with little passion, which would you choose?
I'd most definitely choose just one year of being with my ideal mate, over 50 years of "second best."
I've spent large spans of my adult life, single. I can do it and do it well... it's not a problem. So I see no reason to settle.

3) Describe your ideal mate. Have you ever come close to finding this person?
Oh, gosh. Intelligent, down-to-Earth, funny, even-tempered, generous, discerning, faithful, moralled, healthy sex-drive(!), attractive, passionate, creative.... and so much more.
And, yes, I have.

4) Do you believe in “it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” or do you prefer to “play it safe”?
It's most definitely "better to have loved and lost." Anything worth having, is worth the risk of being hurt.

5) On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), rate how important sex is to you in a relationship? Frequency, quality or both?
That's a really tough question to answer. I have an, I'm told, very high sex drive (must be the Italian in me )... yet, if I found someone who matched every other aspect I was looking for in a perfect mate, but was, say, impotent... well, there are always other things two people can do sexually (or that one person can do).
So I guess I'll rate it a 6 on the scale of importance, with quality certainly being more important than quantity.

6) Have you ever written a poem or a song for someone you loved?
Oh, yes.

7) Destiny has paid you a visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. The hitch is, he or she is in a relationship or married already. Do you go for it or move on?
I'm majorly against infidelity. Not as a judgement on other people and their relationships, just as something I won't do or tolerate in my own relationships.
So I'd move on.

8) Destiny has paid you another visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. However, you find out that this person has 6 months to live. Do you go for it or avoid the ultimate pain this relationship will cause you?
I'd go for it. Without a doubt.

9) Put the following four relationship characteristics in your order of preference (1 being the highest, 4 the lowest): Communication. Sex. Trust. Wealth.
Trust, Communication, Sex, Wealth.

10) Would you ever marry for money?
No way.

11) Would you die for the person you love?
Of course.

12) Do you see yourself as a faithful lover or one who might be prone to stray?
I'm faithful to a fault. But I see that as a good thing.

13) How many times have you been in love?
I'd say I've been in "truly, madly, deeply, wanna spend the rest of my life with this guy"-love, three times. Including my current relationship.

14) How many times do you feel a person can love in a lifetime (with different partners)?
I think we have the capacity to be in love many times.

15) Do you believe it is possible and even probable, to be in love with two people at the same time?
Possible, certainly. But the probability depends on one's personality. Some people can be in love with more than one person at a time, others can only be in love with one person.

16) What is the one thing you must have in a relationship and cannot compromise on or give up?
Trust.

17) What is the one thing you will not tolerate in a relationship?
Infidelity. Cheat on me, and you're out the door, bub... no "ifs," "ands" or "buts."

18) Do you believe that saying or hearing the words “I love you” on a daily basis is necessary in a relationship?
No. The words are nice to hear, but they aren't important... actions are. Show me you love me by treating me the way I deserve to be treated... that's all I need.

19) Do you believe in destiny and soul mates or do you feel it is all the luck of the draw or random?
I most definitely believe in destiny and in soulmates. My faith in that has been tested a couple of times, but it comes back again.

20) How many soul mates does one person have in a lifetime? Have you found yours? If not, do you feel sure you will?
I used to believe that we had one soulmate, and that was that. But experience has shown me that that's simply not true.
"So long ago, I was an innocent... it had nothing to do with age."

Interesting poll!

lagringader&r · #19 06-11-2005, 02:43 PM

I love reading these! There are some really nice people on this board. I'll answer them now (I'm not so nice).

1) Do you believe in love at first sight? I didn't use to, but I met someone who I haven't been able to stop thinking about since. I never had the nerve to tell him what I was feeling and at the time, I was with someone else. Now, he's with someone else but I always wonder if I fell in love with him?

2) If given the choice of 1 year in love with the man or woman you’ve always wanted, after which time you would be alone for the remainder of your life (or) 50 years in a good relationship, but with little passion, which would you choose? The 1 year. I can't stand being alone, but the idea of the 1 indescribable year wins out.
3) Describe your ideal mate. Have you ever come close to finding this person? Someone who is gentle, manly but not afraid to cry and show his feminine side, funny but not a comedian all the time, serious when it's the right time, a good communicator, not judgmental, a good lover (or at least can satisfy me because I'm a walking nerve-ending ), drug-free, likes FM and metal and will go to concerts with me not only willingly but with bells on, someone who has his own life and will let me have mine but when we get together, it's fireworks. I haven't found him and I'm not sure I've ever been close.
4) Do you believe in “it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” or do you prefer to “play it safe”? Loved and lost
5) On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), rate how important sex is to you in a relationship? Frequency, quality or both? 9 1/2 I'm shallow and like a guy in that way. Quality over frequency, but both.
6) Have you ever written a poem or a song for someone you loved? Not yet, but someday.. I'm not a good writer.
7) Destiny has paid you a visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. The hitch is, he or she is in a relationship or married already. Do you go for it or move on? Married? Probably not. In a relationship? Maybe. Would depend on how serious his relationship was.
8) Destiny has paid you another visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. However, you find out that this person has 6 months to live. Do you go for it or avoid the ultimate pain this relationship will cause you? Go for it
9) Put the following four relationship characteristics in your order of preference (1 being the highest, 4 the lowest): Communication. Sex. Trust. Wealth. 1) Communication 2) Trust 3) Sex 4) Wealth
10) Would you ever marry for money? I doubt it but if we had other things that made it good, maybe.
11) Would you die for the person you love? Yes
12) Do you see yourself as a faithful lover or one who might be prone to stray? I've cheated, but there were circumstances.. I want to think I could be faithful. I'm not sure.
13) How many times have you been in love? Once
14) How many times do you feel a person can love in a lifetime (with different partners)? Different degrees of love, maybe several.
15) Do you believe it is possible and even probable, to be in love with two people at the same time? Yes
16) What is the one thing you must have in a relationship and cannot compromise on or give up? Communication
17) What is the one thing you will not tolerate in a relationship? Physical or emotional abuse
18) Do you believe that saying or hearing the words “I love you” on a daily basis is necessary in a relationship? No, and it's annoying. If it's said too much, it loses meaning.
19) Do you believe in destiny and soul mates or do you feel it is all the luck of the draw or random? I'm not sure and I still question that. Seems like luck of the draw, but I love the idea of soul mates.
20) How many soul mates does one person have in a lifetime? Have you found yours? If not, do you feel sure you will? If there is such a thing, one. No, haven't found mine. Doubt I will, but can always hope.

5) On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), rate how important sex is to you in a relationship? Frequency, quality or both?

I wrote something else... yes.

Yeah, I have. But they were more for me than anyone else.

7) Destiny has paid you a visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. The hitch is, he or she is in a relationship or married already. Do you go for it or move on?

I'd go for it. If the feeling of true love is mutual, I don't want to let it slip away, you know?

I'd stay for the 6 months. I'd rather have memories to cherish than regret passing them up.

17) What is the one thing you will not tolerate in a relationship?

Egoism. And control freaks.

Loved and lost. I think it's pretty ridiculous to think that anyone has ever been able to "play it safe". How can you avoid loving someone?

5) On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), rate how important sex is to you in a relationship? Frequency, quality or both?
10. Frequency is quality!!!

6) Have you ever written a poem or a song for someone you loved?
Oh, hell no!!! Gack! Clearly, I never will, either.

7) Destiny has paid you a visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. The hitch is, he or she is in a relationship or married already. Do you go for it or move on?
I move on and wait for the divorce.

8) Destiny has paid you another visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. However, you find out that this person has 6 months to live. Do you go for it or avoid the ultimate pain this relationship will cause you?
Well, I might as well date them, cause according you your question I have already met them, so I would be sad anyway if they died. I'd just like to say that your version of destiny is really a pain in the ass!

9) Put the following four relationship characteristics in your order of preference (1 being the highest, 4 the lowest): Communication. Sex. Trust. Wealth.
1.Sex 2.Trust 3.Communication 4.Wealth

10) Would you ever marry for money?
I guess not. *sigh*. It sure would be awesome, though!

11) Would you die for the person you love?
I don't really know.

12) Do you see yourself as a faithful lover or one who might be prone to stray?
Well...faithful, I guess. I've strayed once, but it wasn't the best plan ever.

13) How many times have you been in love?
4

14) How many times do you feel a person can love in a lifetime (with different partners)?
Many.

15) Do you believe it is possible and even probable, to be in love with two people at the same time?
I think it's possible for some people, but for myself, I will always like one better. Even if I love both of them.

16) What is the one thing you must have in a relationship and cannot compromise on or give up?
Sex

17) What is the one thing you will not tolerate in a relationship?
mmm. Cheating? Excessive flirting while I am in the room?

18) Do you believe that saying or hearing the words “I love you” on a daily basis is necessary in a relationship?
It may not be necessary totally, but I think it's a really good idea. I like it.

19) Do you believe in destiny and soul mates or do you feel it is all the luck of the draw or random?
Random, in the sense that anyone can be destined for you, depending on what you need to learn or what you want at that time.

20) How many soul mates does one person have in a lifetime? Have you found yours? If not, do you feel sure you will?
I'm not really sure. It seems like you could have many soul mates, but that they might be friends, or whatever. And what does soul mate mean? I felt I found mine, but we're not together, so does that mean we weren't really soul mates? Anyway, that question is pretty complex.
I'm sure I'll find someone I really like who's really perfect with me. Maybe.

1) Do you believe in love at first sight? No. Love is blind!

2) If given the choice of 1 year in love with the man or woman you’ve always wanted, after which time you would be alone for the remainder of your life (or) 50 years in a good relationship, but with little passion, which would you choose? 50 years of a good relationship. After the sex goes, it's nice to still have something worthwile.

3) Describe your ideal mate. Have you ever come close to finding this person? I think there's the "X" factor that I honestly can't describe. There's just a chemistry that develops between two people. I don't think there's any one trait that I personally look for.

4) Do you believe in “it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” or do you prefer to “play it safe”? I'm probably more of the play it safe type. Of course, I haven't had too much time for relationships, so what do I know?

5) On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), rate how important sex is to you in a relationship? Frequency, quality or both? I'd say 3 or 4. Sex is great, but there needs to be more for there to be a good relationship. In other words, a good relationship is the 23 hours and 45 minutes you're NOT having sex.

6) Have you ever written a poem or a song for someone you loved? I've written several.

7) Destiny has paid you a visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. The hitch is, he or she is in a relationship or married already. Do you go for it or move on? I move on. I could go for it, but if it backfires, there would be more than one broken heart. If they've committed to somebody else, then it wasn't meant to be.

8) Destiny has paid you another visit and introduced you to the man or woman you could see yourself loving for the rest of your life. However, you find out that this person has 6 months to live. Do you go for it or avoid the ultimate pain this relationship will cause you? Hmmm. I'd probably go for it. It would be hard to see somebody I loved slip away, but there would be six months of real love.

9) Put the following four relationship characteristics in your order of preference (1 being the highest, 4 the lowest): Communication. Sex. Trust. Wealth. 1: Trust. 2: Communication. 3: Sex. 4: Wealth.

10) Would you ever marry for money? Probably not. Although, it's fun to think about.

11) Would you die for the person you love? If it were THE person, I'd probably do it.

12) Do you see yourself as a faithful lover or one who might be prone to stray? Faithful lover.

13) How many times have you been in love? Several.

14) How many times do you feel a person can love in a lifetime (with different partners)? I don't think there is a magical number.

15) Do you believe it is possible and even probable, to be in love with two people at the same time? Yes. Love can be funny that way.

16) What is the one thing you must have in a relationship and cannot compromise on or give up? Laughter.

17) What is the one thing you will not tolerate in a relationship? Games.

18) Do you believe that saying or hearing the words “I love you” on a daily basis is necessary in a relationship? It's nice, but no. I think our actions do more to say this than the words themselves.

19) Do you believe in destiny and soul mates or do you feel it is all the luck of the draw or random? A little of both.

20) How many soul mates does one person have in a lifetime? Have you found yours? If not, do you feel sure you will? Again, I don't think there's a magical number. I have thought I've found my soulmate several times, only to have been let down in the end. When things were good, they were great. When they weren't so good, it was over. People change over time. Situations and circumstances change and effect our views.
