Max, your full of wisdom. Great thread, great advise. Originally Posted by Roman PolanskiThanks, RP. I guess having fallen in love a time or two has given some perspective on the subject.

Hopefully, I've learned to take care with the feelings of those who feel for me as I do for them. Relationships are complicated as we all know.
If ya don't have trust, can you really have love? We all take a chance when we give our heart to another. You may get hosed or it may turn out to be your "happily ever after". We don't get guarantees or a warranty with relationships no matter what walk of life we come from or meet in, whether it be friendships or lovers.

She knows enough about me that she could crush me under her heel and ruin me if she chose to. She has seen me at some extremely vulnerable moments. But she earned my trust from the amzing connection we have made over the past few months. I've never asked her, but she has shared with me details about herself and her life that I can't imagine that she would share with other clients and by doing so has placed a great deal of trust in me.

I think both sides need to go into this, with their eyes open. A discussion on expectations needs to be a part of this. I can see that the ladies should have as many worries of "motives", as do the gents.
Let me ask you guys this....how do you know the "ladies in question" are not gonna think that you are just a smooth operator looking to get some free "time"? Keep in mind that the ladies might also have reservations about your motives. I'm just sayin'.
Best of luck to all those who find themselves, smitten, infatuated, or just downright in love. Originally Posted by M A X

At times it may be hard to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
