Tonight and every night

Riding across the desert on a fine Arab charger.
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue.
You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine...

No, I was just asking...I don't really know which is correct.

No question. I want to challenge and be challenged. To me this is life practice.
Agreed. I think these forums are quite good for this, because we have to interact without body and facial expression. I never really realised before how many 'cues' I read from non-verbal expression!

Why is it a joke to yourself?... didn't you say you intimidate guys? (And need a hero big enough that you can't intimidate him because THAT man is special and I'll always feel great that he wants me... and so on... just speculation, is that right?)

Perfectly reasonable position to me.
You're beautiful when you're writing position papers!

I'm very visual, or maybe observant is a better word? I'm not sure. Anyway, I watch people very closely in conversation. Things like how they are sitting or standing, which way their body is positioned to me and to others, if they talk animatedly with their hands, facial expressions, if they are fighting back yawns. I look really hard at their eyes on topics I think may be sensitive to see whether they are become hurt, angry or afraid ... I can't tell any of those things in written forums. Quite a challenge - for instance, I have a lot of trouble trying to pick up if someone is being funny (as in haha) in a post unless it is deadset obvious.

This reminded me of something I learned about years ago. There is a serious study of the sociology and psychology of group photos - barbecues, reunions, Christmases, weddings - and the meaning behind the grouping and stances of people. It's really fascinating to see the tiny clues behind where people stand in relation to one another, and how they position themselves within a group, along with what their individual body language is saying. You can learn a lot about people.

Now I am back to square one, looking for my knight on a white horse.
But I am realistic, I know no one perfect is out there no matter who says they are perfect.

Please note: I said I know there is no one perfect and I do not expect perfection, so no I am not waiting to be swept away but if you fall in love,, are you not swept away?

I am very realistic and do not moon over the impossible.
