I’ll go out on a heavenly limb here to guess that there is a good man who knows just how lucky he truly is to be with a wise insightful woman such as redlight. A smile and many blessings upon you both.

Gee, I hate to say it but my instinctive response to the God of Love’s comments is that someone so savvy and relationship smart is quite a “catch”.
Mea culpa and please no disrespect intended, your godliness.
I agree with the two of you and yet have felt the pressure to be coupled and have a date on Saturday night. It ultimately paralyzes you and you make concessions that leave you feeling lost and out of sorts with this fellow who is deemed so right for you.
When you do make the break to return to your former, intact and uncompromising self, out of nowhere or in your universe, someone turns up that understands and responds to you. The wonderous thing is, you recognize it without question.
So I, a mere mortal, advise all to follow the wisdom of the aforementioned and brave aloneness rather than bear the lonliness of feeing like the odd woman out.

Great point about denial, and it goes for both males and females.

Here’s a little secret: A man, no matter how successful and secure, does not want to be thought of as a “catch” any more than a woman wants to be thought of as a “nice piece of ass.” It’s disrespectful. And good satyrs and nymphs are always respectful… even after one cup of ambrosia too many.

It’s 2008. Men and women are equally responsible for their own lives. No, it wasn’t that way back in my day when gods were gods and goddesses belonged to gods. But what the hell – call it evolution. Personally, I blame Zeus for that. He couldn’t just leave well enough alone.

Friendship. Whatever romantic love ebbs and flows, whatever erotic energy lights up between you… there must be a true respectful friendship or the relationship is doomed. Without taking the time to build an honest open friendship, sooner or later, I’m sorry to say, the two of you will end up hating yourselves. And that will not make the Goddess or me smile and bless you and that is a pity because that is what we love to do more than anything – smile and bless you.
