Absolutely.  If a guys isn't as comfortable as he thought he was, what's the point in going through with something that's probably going to screw up anything relationship-wise that could be possible?  It's not fair if girls are the only ones abiding by "no means no"...although, he might consider not going through all the motions (just as women should) if he's not going to play the whole game.

Although I'm not a club going person, I believe that just about anywhere is a place to meet someone who will/can catch my attention.\nAfter having disappointed relationships, I believe that I have to wait for GOD to send someone that's worthy of my time, feelings & heart to be in a serious longlasting relationship.\nAlthough life is short & I'm not promised tomorrow, I will not give up on meeting my queen!

I've had times when i've wanted to go out with someone and i really didn;t think it was going to happen. Take my x bf for example- i had a huge crush on him and always thought he was too far from my reach, then we hooked up. All i'm saying is anything is possible. it could work but both of you have to be willing to put in your part 'cuz a relationship is made of two.

doesn't take that much actually. if two people established enough trust, respect, love, and open communication there are chances of a thriving relationship. Although misunderstanding and arguements are inevitable, patience and a little less pride are also ingredients of a good love life. If talking about reality, money is also a factor, let's face fact.

thats a question you'll never get the answer to...  Just follow your heart and see how it goes.. Life is about taking chances...

My guess would be yes. It's the "Guinea Pig" relationship, that most of us start learning about relationships from. We experiment with things we have heard about, such as kissing, dating, and sometimes love.

That's a big question.\n\nIs it better to take the risk of pain and have the possibility of love/happiness with another person, or to avoid the possibility and the risk altogether?\n\n\nIt's all up to you, and it depends on what you think is important. \n\nIf it's more important to you to not get hurt, then avoid relationships-- or, at least, emotionally invested ones.\n\nIf it's more important to you to have a possibility of happiness with someone else, then take the risk.\n\nLots of people decide to stay distant to avoid pain, but I would argue that the risk and the pain and the love are what life is about. Life is about experience, and about being present for it. Take risks, get hurt, feel love, laugh, cry-- do it all, because without it what is the point of life?

because when we go into a relationship, we really put ourselves out there, and give it 110% expecting the same in return, as whole heartedly as we can be, its really hard to find sincere people these days, but don't dont worry you'll find someone that will care and love you the way you really deserve, and put all their effort into the relationship, the same as your doing.

It's all a gamble...but I do know a friend of mine constantly cheats herself out of happiness because she is just sooo picky and even when she starts going out with a terrific guy she's already foreseeing the end. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, maybe there is one 'right' person but, don't rip yourself off and over analyse each person you meet looking for the 'signs'. Just go with the flow, have fun and respect yourself.\nP.S - Plenty of people will tell you that romance always walks into to your life when you least expect it, not when you are looking for it!

of course. Relationships are built on trust.

I'm sorry to say, it's probably not the last time your hopes will be crushed. I know, it sometimes seems "some guys have all the luck". But, rarely is it luck when the guy gets the girl. I can honestly say, YES you do have MULITIPLE chances to have a girlfriend and secret crushes with your name on them. Disappointment is real, and happens often to us all. If one doesn't work out, it wasn't meant to be. Shrug it off and look forward to what's around the next corner. It COULD be the one.  A positive tude Dude.. that's what the girls notice!!

People are forever saying 'Where've all the good men (or women) gone?' You'd think there was no-one left! Well it's not true. I know finding Mr - or Mrs - Right isn't easy. But there are ways to improve your chances. In fact romance is no different to any other part of your life. It's up to you to make things happen! So, forget all the myths - most of them are wrong anyway. And take charge of your love life. It may sound unromantic - but it works! \n\nThe thing is, your perfect partner isn't just going to appear out of the blue. I know we all believe in love at first sight. We like to hear stories about how people fall in love. We adore the idea of two people's eyes meeting across a crowded room. I'm not saying it never happens. Just not very often.\n\nMore often a long lasting love starts when you meet someone who shares your interests, respect and friendship. So a strategy for meeting people like that can pay dividends. Just about everyone wants love, but few work towards making it happen. They think it's a matter of luck.\n\nBut actually, luck has only a little to do with it! Do you remember the joke about the man who prayed every week to win the lottery. But nothing happened. Then one day, in the midst of his prayers, there's a huge clap of thunder and a voice boomed: 'How can I possibly help you? First you have to buy a ticket!' Just about everyone dreams of finding a soul-mate. But few plan for success. We just hope for the best. In fact most of us put more time and effort into planning a party!\n\nMarriages aren't made in heaven either. If they were, then the angels have made a lot of mistakes! God doesn't provide us with a mate. He gives us the ability to make choices. Mind you, many of us make rotten choices - especially when it comes to choosing a partner. So we need to learn how to make them more effectively. And not just to settle for the first likely person to happen along.\n\nBecause, there's loads of possible partners out there. Lots of people have the right characteristics - if you can only find them. So the trick's to get to know more people who match your needs. Then you can safely fall in love with any of them!

If it's meant to be it will be, but you can't make it happen.  Sometimes timing keeps us from making a bad choice based on emotions in that moment.  There is a saying that goes..."if you love something let it go..if it comes back to you, it is yours...if it does not then it never was"

Off and on relationships are confusing because you want to get back together again but at the same time you're tired of the person you're with. It's been my experience that if it fails once it will fail twice, 3 times, 4 times, etc. I don't believe it's worth spending time on. One chance is all I give people now. If it doesn't work out, I move on. People like to think that they change or things will work out but it's just not that way. Move on, it will suck at first especially since you're use to having him around. In the end though you will feel better about the whole situation.
