  Alone...how I'm doing so far

  by wanderlustguy in

  2. friends

  man, i didnt realize how hard this alone thing is.

  its not that i have to be or have nowhere to go, but since making a goal of staying alone (i.e.

  no serious exclusive relationships) for at least a year, its been a pita.

  WLG, I'm glad you're finding some ways to move forward. Sounds like you're thinking pretty clearly, which is great.
  
  Excercise is a good thing mentally, so is getting out now and then. You sound like someone easy to get along with so hopefully you'll pick up a friend here and there and have more people to chat with on the phone or go out and do stuff with. Sounds like you're going to do fine.

  That's good that you're remembering the past, but not dwelling on it. Live your life for the future and be careful to not live in the past. So much that will be coming along in your life and so many good times coming in the future, I know from experience. I'm fortunate to have my daughter so I'm not alone, but raising a child is a little different than having a partner. Being self employed doesn't help but many of the things you mentioned are things that I do also, and it works out well. I'm at the point where I appreciate the privacy I have and the ability to do what I want when I want. Life really starts looking up after a while. It will.

  Also, if they are not a good kisser, then they are generally not good ...

  tal

  Its not a matter of them not being a good kisser in general but more of like one specific thing that I dont like in the midst of good kissing. Saying to tell them gently is one thing but when it comes down to it, that is just a hard subject to approach, how do you even say something like that "gently" when you really know this person is awesome in every other way and you really like them? Do you just have to accept that the other person will be offended and it will be awkward?

  Sorry, I was with only one person for five years and one of the only good things I can say about it is that it was all good in that department, so I dont know what to expect or how to deal with a new situation.

  Part expert, part shy

  So how do you tell someone you dont like something about how they kiss? Or persuade them to change their style a bit without actually "telling" them?

  hey, I can relate, Ive been single for a year and a half, but even though it really sucked at first, Im not just getting used to it but I kind of like it. It has given me a chance to get to know myself better.

  How long have you been in this situation?

  Did you ever witness someone being escorted out of the KH?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did it ever happen in your congregation that a person was asked to leave?.

  i remember about 10 years ago, an elder was giving the sunday talk, and a woman that i never saw before was seated in the front.

  she was all alone, and right in the middle of the brothers talk, she raised her hand and started asking questions to the brother about what he just said.

  I didnt witness it but someone I know very well was asked to leave, refused and then had the cops escort him out, after which he was banned from ever coming back.
