There is no romance in the beauty of nature and how it inspires us, nor is there any romance in a mother's love for her children or sibling love or how one feels while doing something exciting. There is also no romance in the anguish of loss, either from an ended relationship, death, leaving a mother land, etc. All of these things can and have inspired beautiful art and music as well as literature...ROMANCE does not make love. It can awaken desire, it can be a muse but it cannot create love. LOVE can create romance, but not the other way


From a technical point of view, you're correct, but when are you ever operating in a technical frame of mind?😛
Romance is a human condition, a human emotion, feeling or gesture. We create romance in our actions and thoughts.

If my girlfriend and I take a walk in a forest on a lovely spring afternoon, holding hands, chatting, I see an amazing beautiful flower along the way, I pick the flower and place it behind my girls ear as I gently move hair hair, kiss her passionately on the lips and say...I love you.
Did not nature (the flower) inspire me to express love. (we agree on this)
Would you say this scenario is romantic?
In my mind, there was romance in that flower, and romance in the air, romance is helping to create more love between us.
It's kind of all interlinked, for me.
Romance is a state of mind, a feeling, to say romance cannot create love, coming from a woman, well, that's kind of a new experience for me!

See, you have it backwards. Of course the scenario is romantic, BUT....The love you have for your love interest who was walking with you inspired you to pick the flower, kiss her, say how much you love her. Your feelings of love and the romantic gestures you felt you had to show colored your view of the flower, the forest, etc. Another person who was in a pissed mood might be walking at the same time in the same place and think nasty, negative thoughts about the flower, the bugs in the forest, whatever and that person's mood colors their surroundings in a different way.

I need to know more about the bath and body products 😄. Start a thread woman



lol I really need to start making them again. I stopped when I had kids. Too much time chasing toddlers and couldn't have them getting into stuff they shouldn't. I had bath salts, bath milks, bath bombs, lip balms, soups, facial masks, baby powder, massage oils, that sort of fun stuff 😄

How many of us have felt intense attraction to men outside our relationships-im sure it happens right-do we just up and leave.
Boom you never said how you interacted with the Taurus since you're adamant you didn't emotionally cheat...well—


I talked to the Taurus because we have lots of friends in common and because we happened to attend some events where we both were invited.


There's more. Do tell. You said you convinced her to leave her MAN..was this before or after you dumped the CANCER?

Please do tell us about these interactions and what was discussed.


I told her that I had chosen for her after I had broken up with the Cancerian, the Taurus then took some time to decide what she wanted, after a couple of days we met and she told me she had chosen me and had dumped the other guy.



Oh my, this is creating another cycle. :/

Wishing you the best Boom.

Shaka's obviously feeling guilty as fuck, quite frankly.
.



Honestly, I don't think he's capable of those feelings. His take on what everyone says is "Sure, that's what you think but that's not how I see it". Very well then, carry on living in your bubble. He only made this thread to a)get his ego stroked, and b)to get sympathies for basically being a douche.

Frankly I dont understand what everyone sees in this character. Sure, he's a happycamper but we all know deep inside that people in a contant state of "upbeat" have no real soul, lol. They are only empty shells, surely the OP is a poster boy for that. Nothing sinks in, he's incapble of seeing himslf through other people's eyes or putting himself in anyone else's shoes (I sense a major lack of empathy here) because he is who he says he is, and we're all wrong... except for those few people in here who he managed to get some sympathies from. His response to them, "+1". lmfao!

I'm not judging, I have skeltons in my closet too, everyone makes mistakes, but I don't need other people to tell me it's alright when it really isn't/wasn't. I've come to terms with my douchery and I've learned from it, while with this guy life is just one re-run after another. Crying crocodile tears seems to make him feel better about his ways, and gives him the impression that he has an emotional life, so all's well that ends well.

Let's see how long before he deltes this thread, it isn't precisely going the way he imagined.

That's how I feel about this whole thing. And all the virgos I know are experts at laying on the crying, etc. if they think it will fit the situation. They're also incredibly stubborn in changing their view of a situation when they don't want to be the "bad guy". I have an ex best friend who is doing that (she's virgo). She's been siding with my ex husband and has even taken to parroting things he's said about me (he's called me delusional, etc.) and for years she's said how psychotic he is. When I cut her off and stopped communicating with her and called her a traitor she tried to turn it around, claimed she was the one who's hurt and betrayed and doesn't know why I would feel betrayed, will pretend she didn't take his side, was always on my side and in the same breath defends him to me. ~shakes head~ Yeah. And the fake crying and being emotional when it suits her....

So, that's my experience with Virgos and their ability to flip flop and be manipulative, not admit when they're wrong.

Sounds like the Cancer lady wasn't all that invested in you either. Which is why you both talked and were able to remain "friends". Because Your actions hurt her feelings - not her heart. If the latter had been involved, this would be a completely different thread. Believe me.




She was very invested because she couldnt stop crying the whole time while we were talking today. And that is just one example of the many I could give you.
click to expand




Was she? Hope you treasure the experience, because the Taurus won't be crying when you do the same to her. She's going to yell, rage, and cut your balls off.

You don't understand what a committed relationship is all about. There is no "you" and your petty interests anymore. There is "We". "Us". Together against the world. Immune to the charms of thousands of potential partners, by an act of will. Will, not willy.

I love Rene Magritte for painting and Bernini for sculputing.

Psychoanalyze me! 😄


I love Magritte too, and Paul Delvaux, the latter truly captures my soul somehow. His stuff makes me all warm inside. Are you familiar with Laurie Lipton?

And what's your sign btw?

YES, Paul Delvaux ftw. I just googled Laurie Lipton, I've seen those before but didn't know the artist.

Warning: Take it SLOW. Seriously. Virgos have a thing with delving in to something,being fascinated, understanding it, than tossing it aside.

go slow.



CC called this from the beginning. Boom for someone who says to care as much for her as she does you, it's pretty frightening how cold you are with how you carried this out. You didn't dump the Crab for love, you dumped her for a stronger sexual chemistry with the Bull. I wish the Crab all the best though. I wish she would have saved the emotional confrontation though. I think you were just enjoying the display and it only fed your ego.

She knows she will always have a special place in my heart. I never say never. Who knows what the future might bring and who knows if the circumstances that forced us to break up no longer stand in the way in the future, for now though Im happy with this outcome 🙂



Just to be completely fair I think it would be a great idea if you let the Taurus know that you're keeping the Cancer girl as an option if things go wrong between you two... it would be Astonishing.

Jesus people he was only dating the cancer for two months. That's hardly a relationship. Get a grip. So he likes the Taurus better? Whoop do freaking doo. Oh I see, cancer thinks dating means promise to marry or something. Jesus.

I would think Taurus and cap would be an awesome match. Cap and cancer? Not so much.



yeah thats still probationary period. 3 months, 90 days

We don't know what the Cancer girl thought. We only know what Shaka told us, and that sucked! He insinuated they were in a "serious and loving relationship", while he was busy arranging his next relationship behind her back.

Moreover, he insinuated (starting with from the title of this thread) that her reaction to his betrayal reflected the depths of her feelings for him. I won't be so arrogant if I were him. She could have cried of annoyance when realising his betrayal and then accepted his "friendship" out of compassion, after seeing him crying.

Furthermore, this thread is extremely bad taste and deserve all that bashing from CC and friends, because it practically tells us that the OP emotionally tortured his girlfriend. This is more serious than, for example, coming here to tell us that he tortured his cat by bringing a dog home. The dog chased, barked and scared the cat to death. Then announcing he's giving the cat away to keep the dog. Really, was he expecting our congrats?

Sure. Why not? If he found love, then that's a good thing, no?
click to expand




Do the math. He's 30. Lets say he started dating when he was 16. That gives him 14 years of dating. He's slept with over 40 women (his statement) that's 3 women a year. On average that means his relationships over those years have each lasts about 3-4 months.

He just repeats this same pattern over and over. Its not love. He follows sexual attraction and lust and needs the chase. Then things get stall and suddenly a new interest comes along, a new chase, and excitement forms. He doesn't listen to his heart. I doubt he's ever felt love. He fakes love to get the girl. He plays a good game.

But he doesn't just date them. He gets into relationships with them. He tells and shows them all the loving things they want to hear and need to see to commit. He builds them up until he has them completely. They have no idea what's coming and then he walks away when the next hot piece of ass comes along. Out with the old and in with the new.

Why not just keep them as FWB then. It's a sick game to get them emotionally involved and committed and then walk away.

He says he acts with his heart and loves them but if he really loved them he would care about their feelings and not leave like that. Your heart doesn't change that fast and that often. That's lust.

Glad to see some people do get me though, kudos to DMV and Irresistible Scorp, among others!



I just think a mountain was made out of a molehill. Yes, its fucked up to be dumped for someone else but realistically some of us may get dumped for various reasons.to the dumpee, no excuse is valid enough. Its going to suck either way whether u got dumped for a job, family, what have you.

cancer chick didnt do anything wrong. A connection with someone else just entered the picture. She wasnt emotionally tormented, thats just far fetched.

to those who may say, DMV havd u been dumped b4 for someone else? Yes I have. And it was after only after few months. I didnt hate him, I was logical about things and the connection he felt with someone else. Shit hurt especially when I got dumped in an hour and saw him drive away with her. He dumped me in my car and got out and got in her car. Hows that for emotional torture!

Who knows, he may get back together may not and it will be a great journey for the both of them. Sometimes it takes being with someone else to realize who is right for you 🙂

+1

Exactly my philosophy, and I also have been dumped for someone else before! So I know how it feels. Other than that, if I've been with someone for 2 and half months and I've said that I was happy with the person and everything was going fine, doesnt mean everything is set in stone and it doesnt necessarily mean Im gonna spend the rest of my life with that person. Some people just cant imagine that you can meet someone you have a much better connection with while you are pretty much in the early stages of a relationship with someone else, I get it that some people cant appreciate this, because it hasnt happened to them, like I said before this is the first time that it happened to me, so even I was momentarily confused as it happened. Regardless of whether Im in a serious relationship or not, Im always meeting tons of people because of my job, so its not like I go around looking for "extra fun" outside of my relationship.

Plus Im not stringing the cancerian along, we just decided to remain friends because its only now that she feels comfortable enough to do that. Remaining friends with her doesnt mean Im gonna be calling her or texting her or meeting her regularly, besides shes gonna be abroad for like 5 months from January on, so shes gonna have plenty of time and opportunity to properly get over me. If she meets someone else that she falls in love with, I will be genuinely thrilled for her!

I didn't read all of this... mostly bitter women, but I think I got the gist

The relationship was 2-3 months? Who CARES! The Cancer is not going to die and I'm pretty sure she just started crying because she was talking about an emotional subject.... and got emotional. I can tear up talking about news events.

And really, who doesn't say "let's be friends" when a relationship ends without drama. Doesn't mean the Cancer means it.

She was probably more upset that Boombuttlicker said he was looking for a serious relationship... when he in fact is still adjusting from his man-whore stage and the girl got rejected.

Cancers have delayed reactions. She kept quiet and let him know how she felt in the closure conversation. She said her peace and probably wanted to end on a positive note now that he understands "emotionally" how he hurt her.

But how many Cancers are really THAT emotionally invested after only a few months? not I...

i don't buy his crying though. if he was really that sad about hurting her he wouldn't have done it in the first place. he would have had a crisis of conscience and not have been such a douche in the first place. crying to make yourself not seem like a selfish douche doesn't mean you're not being a selfish douche.



I agree. He just got caught up in her tears and I don't think they were genuine on his part. Now he's using them as a justification for his behaviour and convincing himself they have this deep understanding... which is probably one sided. Meh to Boomsuperficklelickle, anyway.

A hurt Cancer is not going to be completely honest and open with the person that hurt them. This is were they start to play. This guy has a false sense of security based on words that were partially true. but that's just an opinion

Crabs are also known for manipulation and vengeance but Boomboom can/will believe whatever

She felt upset, thats for sure, nobody can be upset forever though, she made a conscious decision not to let that destroy our beautiful friendship and connection.

Cap Moon, thats the way they roll.




I'm a Cancer with a Cap moon. It would be my sincere opinion that this woman is holding out hope that if she can keep herself together you will see the error of your ways.

If you truly care for this woman's feelings the kindest thing that you could possibly do for her is gently tell her that it's over, mean it, and stay the hell out of her life. She will hold on, she will tear herself apart over it, she will analyze all of her actions, she will take all of the blame for it and she will do this all quietly - internally - and you will never know the depth of the pain that you cause her every day.

Just sayin'

We already had two "closure" talks, there is no need for a third one. Its 100% clear for both of us that we are only friends now and thats it. No games, no secret agendas. We have no plans of meeting any time soon and texting has been sporadic and short and casual. Shes doing fine, trust me. Everything is going just its natural course considering the new reality of things.

Cancer female gets her closure, cries a bit because deep down she REALIZES she wasted 3 months of her life with a FICKLE man

She isn't crying because she loves him so much and he dumps her...she's crying over the time she wasted on someone who wasn't worth it and now she can never get it back

It's the lying and the betrayal that makes a cancer emotional...its not the dumping...cancer females are strong and they know a man can be replaced, but not the right one, and he def wasn't the right one...

Especially after 3 months.



Very true statement. Its the time wasted that she starts to look at. As a cancer woman myself. I can say that I may tell you we can be friends if that is what you want to hear and I will spend weeks fantasizing you coming back to me and then me telling you what I really thing. And dumping you.

It is the lying and the betrayal. It destroys. So we seek closure. Right now she got what she wanted. She gave you her thoughts, you heard her. But she is not done. She will go back and review what she said, what you said and the anger will brew. The strong cancer woman will rise up. She will find the faults in you, and there are faults. She will use that to fuel her and once she is strong again, you won't get the 'I'm ok with being friends" message. You will get silence.

I speak in general and from experience. At my age now I know that I won't even bother looking back and offering friendship. I know myself enough to know it won't work. I won't ever forget the hurt, I will never trust you again, I won't ever put my guard down for the second time. Now if I end it, or you end it, its done. There is no need for friendship because you are not a part of my life, and will we will not be friends. lol my ex bf found that out when he tried to call to chat after 3 months. When I ended it, I said the same thing as the quote, I told him I wasted 6 months of my life I can never get back on his sorry a**. When he tried one to reconnect it was all business. The mailman got a friendlier hello that he did and he knew it. So he tried to facebook friend me. It was the same thing. I will respond to your hello, but he will no longer get the conversation he once had from me. Not one chance. And I didn't need closure. i didn't need to give the last word, to have that last conversation, to have the last moment of getting the feelings out. I
