Are You Feisty?

The thing about being a doormat is – it’s not very attractive to men.

The thing we’re afraid of is the thing they most want – a sense that we know who we are, love who we are, and will retain ourselves even as we become deeply involved and invested in a relationship.

So – what are we missing in getting this message out?

We’re either giving instructions about what we want, disapproving of what a man is doing, or just throwing ourselves at his feet.

This just plain gets you nowhere.

Strong on the inside, soft on the outside is something completely different.

It’s sort of – “I’m Okay – You’re Okay. Now, I’m open to seeing what happens when we’re together.

It’s not letting chemistry turn your awareness of yourself to mush.

It’s not letting your mind run your heart.

It’s knowing the difference between your heart and chemistry.

It’s holding onto what you want in a relationship, even though you’re crying over a particular man who isn’t filling the bill.

It’s doing the Tools without hovering over the results.

It’s using what you learn from your results to motivate you to practice the Tools even more – and to practice the SPECIFIC Tools that get you the best feeling feelings – regardless of what your mind thinks of the “results” with any particular man.

It’s so loving exactly what’s happening and what’s already happening – regardless of what your mind thinks about it - that regret, “what if,” “if only,” and wishing just disappear from your life.

Love, Rori

I feel really moved by this post.

“The thing we’re afraid of is the thing they most want – a sense that we know who we are, love who we are, and will RETAIN OURSELVES even as we become deeply involved and invested in a relationship.”

How do you retain yourself as you become deeply involved and invested in a relationship?

I used to be THE QUEEN of doormats. No more!!!
I’m trying so hard to say what I need to say when it needs to be said….. But, it’s difficult. I hate confrontation, arguing, etc.
So I just go into myself and stuff it all down. Now, I’m feeling it and finding the words, whether I actually say them out loud is another step. Baby steps, right?
Feisty? Yeah I wanna be that.

No FW, to me, feisty is knowing and saying what you want in a playful, but meaningful spirit.
Words, feelings, even the not so good ones, can be expressed without the bitchiness attached.

stick to your guns, it always works out

if you try to stick to your guns but don’t feel enough worth in yourself to feel deserving of said guns, he will get confused and frustrated and drained by you.

but if you stick to your guns, and do it in the Rori Raye way that doesn’t make either of you wrong, it will always work out.

Hey Starla…sometimes I wonder whether this is me though:

‘if you try to stick to your guns but don’t feel enough worth in yourself to feel deserving of said guns, he will get confused and frustrated and drained by you.’

What about faking it till your making it.
Maybe I will never get to that super high self esteem place and always feel nervous by stating my boundaries. Does that mean I will never find love?

I really hope not :/

is *everything* always ‘our fault’, like
- we didn’t make him feel safe (I have heard that many times, it triggers me now)
- our feeling messaged were not authentic enough
- we stuffed our feelings
- we analysed too much
..I mean, sometimes it sounds as if we did everything right and loved ourselves enough, things would just happen by magic and any good man would want us immediately.
I feel like a failure when I read some of that stuff.
I hate feeling like that!!
I want to feel incompletely complete, I am human and men make lots of mistakes also. Or behave in a way that does not make me feel safe either.
Slathering on love for me today.
I am allowed to be imperfect.

Older men have a huge blind spot when it comes to age. They refuse to even consider women their own age, even if she’s fit and attractive. Worse, they’re hypocritical about it, because they don’t understand why the vast majority of younger women won’t go for them.

And yet, the fastest growing segment for online dating is the 50+ market. More unhappy couples are getting divorced when the kids leave the house. More people work from home. More people spend 10 hours a day at the office. More people have computers and are aware of someone who found love online

13: Iamabutterfly says:

@10 Tam – I don’t think it’s *always* our fault at all. We can do our best to be authentic, speak our feelings, and to stay in our bodies rather than spinning around in our masculine head energy, and still not get the reaction from him that we wanted or were expecting.

the idea is to NOT have expectations…

you kinda sound like you’re beating yourself up! ( I do it too.)

Try to just feel and forgive yourself and to let go of expectations, worries, and doubts.

14: Starla says:

tam i think faking it is juuust fine:)

but you gotta fake it WELL.

i used to assert boundaries and needs, and then feel so terrified they’d walk away, that i ended up pressuring them/doubting them/carrying a lot of negative energy. they experienced it as pressure and manipulation (it was).

you have to be prepared to walk if you don’t get what you need.

and you have to be clear with yourself that you do, in fact, need it enough to walk if you don’t get it.

hope this makes sense.

f*ck no, everything is not our fault.

and they will try to blame us. but that is just human nature, to try to blame outside forces…

like warrior tried to suggest that because i didn’t sleep with him, he couldn’t open up to me.

i immediately said i would feel awful gambling sex in hopes that a man will be sweeter to me afterwards.

silly warrior <3.

I feel a lot of love for him.

16: Tam says:

lama, thank you. Well not so much beating myself up as just wondering when it became necessary to strive for perfection.
aren’t we all unique?
‘can do our best’ – that is what I mean. Not everybody is ‘good’ at speaking one’s feelings and so on. That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve love?
I had two beautiful 5 year long relationships before I even heard of all that stuff.
Those guys are now married, and perhaps all those men that are able to do relationship and marriage STAY in their relationships and marriages, it sure does seem that way when I look around.
I know there will be tons of you all now saying ‘but that is a limiting belief, there are lots of single good men any age’. Maybe I just don’t meet them.
Fact is: it was A LOT easier in my 20′s, when most people were still looking for relationships, had not been married yet, no kids.
I can speak my feelings all I want when there are so many men interested in me that I find freaky or appalling, and the men I like have some kind of issues or are still in love with their ex wives, or are still married..or whatever. Or they tell me they see a red flag with me because I don’t answer every single one of their 10 texts in 60 minutes.

I feel supremely frustrated at dating these people.

Sirens,

I spent all day Saturday cleaning my house, decorating it for Fall and slow cooking a pot of chili. I did this for me, but also because JC was coming over for the first time in weeks to MY house and i wanted to please him – I liked the way it felt to cook for him, to think about him as i cleaned and decorated my home.

He worked that day, so I knew he would be tired. I gave him a warm welcome, a cold beer and fixed his plate – including piping hot fresh cornbread. My house smelled lovely and i felt soft and feminine.

For the first time, I felt really open and ready to give myself to him completely without any resistance. I had been building toward it all day . . . so of course, he was the opposite! I’m so glad i have been reading about this so i did not over react or over think it – I leaned forward, he leaned back. He was distant and I did not feel the deep connection I was craving. It is usually the other way around, with him wanting more and me leaning back.

Funny how the dance works. My turn to lean back again, which I am so good at anyway . . .

25: Starla says:

because YOU have to take YOU as you are.

that means if you have a boundary, you need to own it. if you have a boundary, but worry too much about losing his interest, it’s a cop out to say HE should take you as you are… because you’re asking him to do for you what you refuse to do for yourself.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 7:54am
26: Tam says:

Starla, I believe there is a bit of a confusion here. I totally agree with the boundaries.
But as in ‘take me as I am’, I meant a whole host of other stuff, for example:
I am not going to walk around all day telling someone I feel pink and squishy and melty – that is just not me and not my style, it would be inauthentic. That was where I was coming from.
I feel weird at turning myself into someone else just in order to ‘make a man feel safe’.
Smells of manipulation.
Speaking authentically, yes, but I still want to be me.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 7:58am
27: Iamabutterfly says:

@21 Tam – I think you’re right. It just felt really intimate and more-than-friends, and so I feel confused, I guess. Yes, this is the engaged one.

@23 Heart – No, it’s not Jack CD. I feel sooooo disconnected from Jack CD it’s not even funny.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 8:00am
28: Starla says:

tam, i must have missed something

i’m not sure where the discussion of saying you feel pink and squishy and whatnot is coming from

i say things like that, but i didn’t used to. i used to say ‘masculine’ things to hide my vulnerable femininity.

i would say, though, that you don’t HAVE to talk any way. but it would be a good start to talk in feelings when you’re in conflict with a man.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 8:06am
29: Tam says:

27. Sigh, no it was just an example Starla, nevermind.
No worries, yes I agree about the feeling messages.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 8:10am
30: Tam says:

Saying ‘masculine’ things, do we mean by that just normal conversation without using feeling messages? because if we do, then I am totally lost. I feel frightened having to spend the rest of my life thinking about what I am going to say. Sometimes I just like to make conversation and not think/believe it is masculine or feminine…with anyone, men, women, children etc.
Hm

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 8:13am

tam, honestly, plenty of women don’t use feeling messages 100% of the time, and they have guys.

I don’t feel triggered by Siren Angel talking about marriage.

For me I do want marriage but only with a man I want.
I want to be sure I am not a for now girlfriend.
I don’t want to invest my time love and get hormonally attached and bonded to someone who sees me as a for now girlfriend.
I don’t want to put myself and my children at risk of committing my heart to man who does not want to commit to me and my children.
And if it did go wrong and I had invested if I am married at least I know that financially I will entitled to half.
If I just live with a man and he or I want out I am not protected like this.
I want to protect myself and my children like this.
Also if I am not married and he dies I then will not be legally protected like this and his family may contest anything he has left to me and my children.
I really don’t want to leave myself open to all that stress and insecurity.

I want to feel happy and secure and looked after.

I feel confused. I have been practicing “melting” and being with a particular guy. Hes sweet and affectionate, we work together for a band on sundays. He and I go together to the gig and eventually have started to cuddle, make out on the trip there. we also met up for lunch this past week. I feel really attracted to him but I also feel weary. He said he has a special need son in his home country. he smokes, drinks, no goals, etc. Hes not someone I would feel comfortable with in the long term. However, cant withold kissing the guy lol. i like being around him, but I feel suspicious. hes very affectionate all the time, even on this first date. he acts like hes “in love” with me. He has a dreamy look when he looks at me and hes constantly wanting to be affectionate. I like it to a certain point as well but have to stop. I dont feel like we have anything else in common besides the attraction. I dont know I feel suspicious Im sure sex crosses his mind like all men, but I question if hes interested in me or just feeling lonely. i question if Im just lonely too. blah I feel weird, confused, and a little dizzy.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 8:23am
36: Tam says:

33, Annie I get that.
What I like most about the idea of marriage would be a man who would be ‘prepared’ to marry me, go all the way basically and ‘forfeit’ other women.
And the sense of belonging he would want to create with me, i e ‘claim me’.
It’s not the paper, the ceremony or the ring or the formalities…even just a man saying (and meaning): ‘I want to marry you’ – that would actually make me feel very loved and secure.
I like the ‘idea’, basically…

i feel guilty for only wanting his attention however not really seeing him for more. I feel bad if hes feeling the same way. I wonder if we are “pg” using each other. I wonder if theres still something with the baby momma but he says there isnt. I feel convinced that there isnt but I still feel bad. he plans to have a life here in the us but has a special needs son back in his home country. I feel bad he doesnt want to be with his son:( i feel bad that hes not there for him. I dont like that hes not there for him. thats whats bothering me.

YUCK! I have met some of these men and I feel repulsed by them. Not one has been attractive to me in any way. One in particular is my Fathers age 65 and says he will not date a woman over 40 that they are too old. What that says to me is he is not interested in the woman and who she is so YUCK why on earth any woman would want that is beyond me. Yes they may be attracted to his money. Will his money by him real love though? ponders mmmmm?

I need to process.
I have obviously missed the message from someone who has turned up in my life.

He is sweet to me.
And has asked me out to dinner.
I would not usually go out to dinner on a first date though as to me this is too long.
I prefer short day time coffee date.

I don’t find this man physically attractive to me and do not want to lead him on.
I do not want to give him the wrong message or hurt his feelings.
I feel myself wanting to avoid him now he has asked me out on a date but not confirmed it.
I no longer want to give him eye contact and invite him in.

I don’t want to be horrible.
He is too sweet.
Fuuuuuu…ck
What is the message why has he turned up.

Why am I attracting this.

Great!

Some other great connections this weekend, but nobody asking me out on a date, just this man, who I don’t want to date.

WTF?

It is not to do with looks or age as I am attracted to some older men and even fat men.
It’s his vibe.
So why on earth am I attracting men who’s vibe I am not into.
I find him easy to talk to, but would so not go there. He is not what I want.

I appreciate this post, am prone to being too nice and conflict avoidant more often than I’d like yet find it easy to be feisty with some people. I want to be that way with all men when need be. It’s a matter of getting it out of our heads of being afraid to offend someone with “bad” feelings. Baby steps, like Sassy said but sometimes it’s also timing. Not everything needs to be expressed all at once.

48: Annie says:

I know what you mean Heart.

I feel a bit sacred though as the last man who took me out on a date who I felt like this about after one date started acting like we were together.
And other people though we were ‘going out, seeing each other’.

I just don’t want to send him or anyone else that message.

And I know he will be thinking that by what he said about the last woman he took out a few times on dates. And how his story went.

I just don’t haven’t worked out what the message and the lesson is here.

I really do not want to go, but do not know how to let him down gently without lying.

I would rather have no dates with men , than go on a date with someone I have no physical or romantic interests towards.
I felt happy to chat in a public social situation, but really have no interest seeing this man one to one.

I did that last time. I really did not want to go and went anyway, instead of trusting my gut.
My gut and instinct are not ever wrong and are telling me no, not to go.

I just do not know how to say thanks but no thanks eeek!

I have no trouble speaking my mind usually.
It feels difficult in a situation like this though.

Heart thanks for helping me…
.I feel sad and uncomfortable when I think about an abandoned child. I dont like that! I feel sad to think of someone who abandons someone. I feel uncomfortable wondering if he is hiding information. i feel obligated to be kind to him because hes lonely like me. I dont like that hes an emotionally unstable person he said so himself that he has emotional ups and downs. I noticed hes very hyper and then hes really low in energy. He says he doesnt like to go to the gym because he doesnt like to be alone! I feel bad for him and thats where my affection is coming from. Atleast even though I have emotional ups and downs Im working on them i am going to a therapist, writing on the blog, and tapping into feelings more than ever before. I feel like he isnt someone who would bring me up I want someone whose positive, confident, and has something going for them. I feel bad for wanting this, like Im being “mean” for wanting what I want. I feel guilty for kissing him on the train because I dont want to lead him on. However Im still kissing him so I also feel selfish. I also feel hesitant because i dont want him to lead me on, but the guilt is even more powerful. I feel sad.

I don’t want to invite this is. And now I feel mean, as I believe he in lonely. And I feel sad for him. I don’t want to go deeper with this man.

About the certain age group men only wanting to date much younger women… I have not found this true at all. I have only had one CD that I met online as I usually don’t do online dating, but each of the men I’ve CD’d have been upper 40′s to mid 50′s and have all said they had NO problem with my age. (57). Even my 38 (woohoo was he fine) yr old CD told me age didn’t matter to him.

Annie – hmm I feel curious about this…Seems like your attracting men who Can Do relationships.
That’s great! But you’re not attracted to this guy and feel icky…and I get you…it’s torture to date a man you feel Icky about… I have Yet to date someone I feel repulsed by.

Still – I believe it would help you to Explore the ickiness…I know I’m making the same point here and you’ve already said you want to feel good….
But I sense that something mental & emotional is going on hre and it might be a good lesson to learn.

They say we attract what we reflect….
Maybe this man is reflecting something about yourself that you are repressing…
Who knows…..He showed up.
Just my 2 cents on the matter.

I feel sad thinking he will reject me:( I feel guilty for thinking if it went somewhere that I would be contributing to his rejection of his son from his home country especially that his son has special needs. i dont like he is someone who doesnt have a commiting heart, I feel scared.

Not sure how asking me out means he is able to do a relationship heart.
As he clearly stated that the last women he took out only a few times dumped him so he thought she was odd.

Is 48 never been married, no previous long term girlfriends and has no job.

So here we have a man I am not physically or romantically attracted to, with a history of no long term relationships and no job. Asking me out.
I really do not want to go out on a date, lead him on when my gut is telling me no, just because I feel sorry that is lonely and wanting a girlfriend.

He is not my man.
It feels wrong and icky to me.

I believe he has shown up for me to practice saying thanks but no thanks.

He said he doesnt plan on moving back to that country and he says he is starting to feel bored in the United States and wants to travel to Canada. He said that on our first date. He said that he gets bored easily in his jobs and likes changes. I cant help but wonder if he feels that way about women. I wonder if hell be bored with me eventually I dont want to be hurt and I will feel angry if I am. My ears are tingling right now and my eyes are a little watery. i feel so uncomfortable thinking about this guy and angry that he seems selfish atleast with his past. I told him I barely know him yet and he said thats good because his past is now the past. Whats that supposed to mean? I didnt even mean that I just said I wanted to get to know him. Ugh what the f*** is he refering to? wtf is he hiding?!!

Manboy has made a minor appearance on my FB. I had forgotten all about him.

My inner Drill Instructor is bullying Lovesick Me. Awwr…She is going Full Metal Jacket on her! She’s wants to make her promise to never do that again!
Lovesick Me wants to look out the window and dream. She feels pulled by the comfort zone of an imaginary relationship.

I feel sorry for both of my girls. They both seem so afraid of getting hurt. I want to hug them.

i am a Gift

men are strong

thres no ‘obligation’ for me

i get triggered when dates get more special

it works when i have lots of special fancy dates so then i dont feel unworthy or obligated when the guy has done the most fancy romantic expensive thing for me, well i do but i mean… i Wouldn’t if this happened to me all the time

hmmm

haha and about fake it till u make it lol i kinda am aware that when i practice a new boundary it might come out with anxiety and the ‘results’ might not be optimum

but with more practice that drops away

79: Heart says:

Annie – I interpreted you being afraid of hurting his feelings and of him being toooo into you as a sign that he was Very Interested in You …also you mentioned the last guy you dated acting like you were already a couple…
So they both came across as Commitment-friendly kind of men.
Shrugs.
You know whats best.
But…I sense that you already Know How to Say No Very Well…so I doubt that it’s a lesson you need to learn…Maybe he showed up to help you practice saying Yes…
Maybe not…

Good luck.

81: Starbright says:

Annie,

It sounds like you have found the piece to work on and I so identify with what you are saying.

I found myself having trouble a couple of months ago having very unwanted men hanging onto me when I was out dancing. They were monopolizing me so that other men were not able to dance with me.

What I decided was it was a place for me to practice staying open and yet having my boundaries. I don’t have to be monopolized by men that make me feel icky when I’m out. I can take care of myself while still staying open to others.

And, it is not being mean to them it’s all how I speak my truth and my feelings with kindness. What person would truly want to be with someone who finds them icky?

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 9:56am

Was that for me?

This resonates TY.
Yes you are correct I feel terrified that Once I give myself to someone and fall for them that they will have the power to break my heart.

And the irony and parody hear. It feels difficult to say no to men who I don’t want to date and easier to refuse men who I am attracted to do and do want to date.
Why because the men I don’t want to date will not be able to break my heart.

I want to heal from this.

I want a man who I am attracted to physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually but who will care for my heart and not want to ever break it.
Surely I deserve that.
I want it all.
I do not want to settle for anything less.
And just say oh well this will have to do as it all I am being offered.

they won’t be able to leave where they’re at and just follow me around the world

58 Annie..it’s not you attracting it, it’s what’s out there. Believe me. If I was to tell you the kind of stuff (good and bad) I attracted in the last couple of weeks. Don’ let that get you down.
I had a guy in tears and a gibbering wreck over our first dinner out, recounting his first ever relationship 20 years ago.
I had two guys standing me up.
I had Mr you know who (who lives 35 Miles away) right down the street being to obstinate to pick me up.
But I also had a couple of really nice dates with a nice man, who unfortunately, is not my type in many ways.
Just keep calm and carry on.
I get frustrated, and stop…and pick myself up, dust myself off and ‘start all over again’..

I don’t want to settle for less either…I thought about it…there are nice men that I do not feel physically attracted to. But I can’t do that. I want it all. All or nothing. My standards are not impossibly high, they are ‘me’. I can’t be with a man and still check out other guys because I don’t ‘feel it’ for him.
I want to be loyal and not hankering after something else….that would be another short term relationship. I am so done with ‘settling’.

i wish he would WIN ME OVER

not ask me to ‘agree’ to see if things change.

why is this bothering me so much?

he is perfectly capable of making his own decisions.

107: Femininewoman says:

Creating an ideal situation with a man in your mind is a common and relatively natural thing for a woman to do. In fact, it can be healthy; it can motivate you, inspire you, and even inspire your future goals. These are great uses of ideals.

But when you compare your ideals to your relationship, and your life, it’s often impossible to be happy about what you see. It’s like trying to live a fantasy.

It’s worth pointing out that men do the same thing. Like those pathetic guys who seem to always be in search of the bigger, better deal, even if they have a great woman.

93…FW, trust me, I have got myself into more trouble putting up with things that seemed less than ideal from the outset.
I now trust my feelings enough to know when something is off rather than plough through it hoping for it to change.
Men still in love with ex wives etc.
I unashamedly want it all. What is the point of having a relationship and being unhappy?
Just to give some man a chance?
The men I met so far are no challenge intellectually for me, not even close and I am also not attracted to them. So yes, I can use them for practice and be bored witless, or I can go to the gym and hone my body, go for nice walks and chat to lots of people…that’s the way I look at it.
Maybe CC was thinking about people who want to be ina relationship for any price? I want to be in the right one though.
I don’t demand perfectness from a man at all – but he has to be for me, that’s all. If I cringe when I have to kiss him, or I feel totally bored at attempts to make conversation – he is not for me.

I need to be able to practice expressing negative emotions better.

Things with LLcd have been so good that almost all of my FMs have been positive, I’ve been so full of happiness over the past couple months I can’t stop smiling.

He does like to make plans at the last minute though, and it would feel better to know in advance what I’ll be doing during the week/on the weekends.

I feel determined to lean back this week, even if it means we won’t see each other. That makes me feel anxious though because I do want to be around him. He has a big project due on Wednesday and I would love to celebrate it being over with drinks with him that night, but I don’t want to ask him out, it makes me feel like I am chasing him.

I really like the idea of “be surprised” because when he does finally ask me out, I get the good feelings from being surprised after giving up control of seeing each other or not.

I am thinking about this feeling message the next time he asks me out with little notice:
“It feels so great to be asked out by you because it feels wonderful spending time together. I don’t want to make plans with someone at the last minute though because it can be stressful balancing my time right now with work and class. It would feel so delicious to plan things 4 or 5 days in advance to let the anticipation build up. What do you think?”

i’ve also been here before with MyGuy, and i knew i handled it all wrong by giving into the ‘give me another chance’ thing. these guys who are on the immature side want you to give them guarantees up front before they attempt to win you over.

i am going to stick to my guns and say no to Warrior. and ohhh that would be so nice if he did end up ‘winning me over’

but for the last 3 months he’s unfortunately ‘lost me’

Ulii – hmm not exactly

well the first part is a jog in place where you land on each ball of foot then heel. 16 times

the thing is the spine is stretched and the arms are out stretched all the way in an inverted V. the fingers are widespread too so the arms are tensed out

then the second part is get legs wider apart (arms the same) and then theres a side to side hop from one leg to the other (still landing ball heel) 16 times

then repeat. and do it all like 8 times.

and at the end keep upper body straight and hop with kness together turning knees side to side like skiing. but the upper body stays straight. arms bend in and out like skiing.

Heart, you are very insightful….it is less about the stress of scheduling and more about wanting to feel special.

Over the past 2 months of seeing each other, he tells me how special I am, and how much he likes making me happy, and things like that. But to me, the action of wanting to go out with me so much that he can’t wait to plan the next time we see each other would make me feel so much more special than the words of saying it!

PhotoCD is asking me out bowling & then after to dinner & is saying I can stay with him to not have to hurry back by the last train (he lives in another town 50 min away by train/bus).. The dynamic has been me going to that town as I also have other (female) friends there I´m visiting & staying with sometimes.

I feel a bit bored & not like making an effort to go to see him. Although I don´t mind seeing him if it´s in connection to go to see other friends there and then also him. At the end…what we have with PhotoCD is only friends relationship, although he wants more. I was trying to be open to it & also considering letting him be my lover, but..I´m not that attracted to him at the end. And feeling being unfair to him if I demand proper “dating behaviour” as I already know I am not that interested.

The last didn’t offer me any kind of committing was just acting like I exclusively belonged to him after one date without the commitment. He banged into another man deliberately whilst looking daggers at me who all I was doing was talking too.
Acted like he owned me after one date.
Not really I would call commitment friendly. I would hardly want to commit to someone after one date, or want them to commit to me. We didn’t even know each other.
Was joke as he actually said he wanted to get to know me better but behaved like that.

Things I feel grateful for…

I love that I am sitting on my deck in my hammock chair with the sun shining brightly on me.

I love that the loyalty that my little boy dog has for me. He is seriously my best friend and companion.

I love that my handsome sweetie will be home soon. I love that he is so loyal and always comes home to me.

I love that we are starting a family!!!

I love that we both have healthy families and strong genes.

I love that my little girl dog just ran up and she is so freaking cute.

I love my past and the strong little girl that I was. Even in the darkest moments I believed in myself.

I love this thick piece of zucchini bread I am nourishing myself with.

I love my beautiful smile.

Hi smile

well now, *fun* was not the right word about the run, I suffered all the way round(why do i do it LOL)

I got some awesome pics in the tunnel though

Right , well, I feel *so* much better now I have decided to keep the FM to myself for a while.Speak them to myself.Maybe let the odd one out to a stanger(work colleagues would think I had lost the plot if i started talking like that)

then, when more comfy, re-introduce them to man
I have been too impatient

167: Ulii says:

And what I really have been feeling all this weekend is a overwhelming big sadness & jealousy over my ex M. Like all this time that has passed & all this cd-ing I have been doing many months now, has not got me to much better place emotionally that just after our breakup.

We broke our 6 years realtionship off already last summer, although it was not yet fully defined until May of this year. And now he told me he has been seeing somebody else already since spring.

I feel really bad about it. Although I could guess this had happened, but wasn´t sure without hearing it from him.

The crazy thing is…I am staying with his parents right now. And he is totally fine with it, even said he doesn´t want me to leave…as he couldn´t stand losing me from his life completely. And seems the other woman is really jealous about me (I would be too, in her situation). I can´t really afford to leave before finding any job & my ex´s mother is a really good friend to me above everything, so she also insist I´d stay here.

I feel so confused.

and i don’t want to do that anymore, at least choice wise, even though sometimes i do

Starla: I agree with your mechanic friend. Can’t go wrong with a manual civic. I LOVE sticks. I actually went out of my way to find a stick when I got my last car. They only made a very small proportion of the model I wanted in manual trans so I really had to look but it was worth it to me. The control and get up and go is so worth it and it’s really easy to learn.

I believe just feeling that desire and sinking into your core emotions are big steps. Keep doing that -yay! You’ll feel good.

Olympia – I am learning and growing and I don’t have the answers to many things…
However right now…I want to ask you to take a week break from trying to change or get him to do anything…In fact let him trigger you and feel the feelings that come up. Practicing being and finding your feelings, journaling for one to two weeks?

It’s ok if he doesn’t ask you to go celebrating. Sink and find out why you are worrying about that so much etc etc…

I feel shy writing about SeenmecryCD, but I want to write about him, because I want to see what he is teaching me.

so, if anyone will remember, last week i talked to him, and it was super hard because all my feel good feelings came back with him.

This past weekend, I’m pulling into the parking lot, and he’s there with his girlfriend, and I KNOW he saw me pulling in when they were walking up to the door.

He literally turned his head to avoid looking at me and walked straight ahead.

It was like a deliberate ignore.

I read somewhere that when a man ignores you, it means that he feels like he is losing his power.

I’ve sort of been ignoring Jack CD, I mean, not really, but like, I feel like I’m losing my power with him definitely, and I just feel stuck. but he doesn’t have a girlfriend, just this long distance girl that he doesn’t know that I know about.

I feel embarassed…

and I don’t feel ready for marriage quite yet.

Is that okay with you?

247: Iamabutterfly says:

been reading about my zodiac. I didn’t use to believe in that kind of stuff, but it’s so accurate it’s creeping me out.

“…have a gift for living the high life, and that means plenty of friends at their side. People born on this date fall in love easily but may have trouble committing to a relationship.”

“As soon as they fall in love, the typical Sagittarian BEGINS TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT HE OR SHE WILL HAVE TO GIVE UP. (that is soooooo true about me!)

So they may put off making a commitment as long as possible. When they do settle down, they adjust well. They refuse to let the relationship get stale and always look for ways to bring excitement to the union.”

I just realized something. I haven’t really had to try very hard at leaning back because I had no one to lean back with. I’m not missing my ex so leaning back with him is a piece of cake. I don’t feel sad or longing or anything. I’ve been reading everyone else’s successes and not so successes and learning or so I thought. After my date to the wedding, I find myself wanting to lean forward almost immediately. (well craptastic) I had so much fun and he said such wonderful things….like they do….but now I want him to act on what he said.

So this is my first real test. I feel mischievous like a little kid. I want to go against what I KNOW is good advice. Been there, done that….that would be silly now. Lean back I say!!! If he doesn’t act, then it’s his loss and that’s ok.

#245 Iama – He must be young…like early 20s?
Young player-ish men do that when their girlfriends are not around.
Just ignore women that they flirt with when there main girl is there. Then they are flirting when their gf is gone…
Is that the case with this guy?

Tam and FW, thanks for the reply’s. And you are right, I offered my support and listened….. he doesn’t need me to fix anything for him, and i don’t think he reached out to tell me how he felt because he wanted or expected me to do anything for him, besides to know he could talk to me. His emotions have been pretty stable lately, but with his brother here for a night it triggered a lot of old feelings and stress. It’s great though, he’s so expressive about how he feels, he’ll come right out and say, I’m going to be in a bad mood today. He doesn’t sulk or pick a fight or blame anyone, just says how he feels.

He’s so awesome though. My brakes were really squeaking and he took my tires off, showed me my pads and rotors, watched videos online because he wanted to change them for me… and then told me he didn’t feel comfortable, was beyond his skill and knowledge, felt really bad that he couldn’t do it for me, but was worried he wouldn’t do it right and it wouldn’t be safe. He said he felt so bad, really wanted to take care of that for me. I told him how much I apprecaited that he even tried, and when I do get it fixed, I know it’s just the pads, they can’t rip me off for rotors too. So, even when he was having a bad day and feeling blah, he tried to make me happy.

When I read Luzydel’s story about locking her keys in her car and no one would step in to help her, she had to call an ex, it reminded me how wonderful it is to have someone that you can count on, or at least you can call to help you. My ex would do it for me too, if he were close…. but not my brother who lives close, my dad is 80 and lives an hour away, maybe one of my nephews, but they can be hard to get in touch with…. it’s important to have people in our lives. I’d have to call my sister and she has triple A, or if her boyfriend wasn’t working, he’d come. I have this huge family, lots of friends and aquaintences, but I’m so used to doing everything for myself, I rarely ask anyone. I’m glad to have someone who wants to be there for me. It feels good to know that. Maybe he’s going to be a temporary part of my life, or a lifelong part… but I’m really happy he’s here now. It’s not so much about the actual thing he does, like checking my brakes or cutting the grass…. it’s not the act, it’s the wanting to help me, with no expectation in return, that feels so special.

251: Iamabutterfly says:

@249 Heart – yes, you nailed it. Early 20′s. but I wouldn’t call him a flirt by any means. He’s extremely friendly, but not a flirt. and I wouldn’t say that he was even flirting with me necessarily. I approached him to ask him about his family who had just experienced a loss. (leaning forward? sure, whatever, I would have done it with any person I cared about.)

I had zero expectations and we just ended up talking for a really long time, he kept mirroring my body language, kept trying to make me laugh (it worked), kept asking me questions to get me to stay when I was about to get up and leave.)

I didn’t mention this but after he ignored me in the parking lot yesterday, he would not stop staring at me once we were in the building.

At one point, I just looked right back at him.

She was sitting right next to him. She had to have noticed.

I don’t know why he does that!

I feel frustrated!

and immature and embarassed!

What do you think, Heart?

255: turquoise says:

Thanks Ruth. He is. He has a feisty side too… but a lot of what I see is him trying to keep people away because he doesn’t really trust anyone or feel that anyone “gets him.” I don’t think he’s so complicated. I think he’s awesome and I hope that comes across when we are together. We all deserve to be loved and appreciated.

About being feisty…. I definitely felt that I was, used my half latin side and fire sign as an excuse to be that way. What it mostly showed up as was me saying things without thinking them through and having a bit of a temper. Which, when justified…. it feels empowering to stand up for yourself or someone else, but words can also we harmful, so I’ve been working with my triggered defense feelings, and sitting with them, feeling them out, and then responding. has made a huge difference for me!

I usually say I’m spicy, not feisty.

Another word that will get you in moderation is sticking a D in front of the e word. I was talking about eggs I made one time, and got moderated. lol.

Mr. Stares me down seems to have disappeared. I haven’t seen him in almost 3 weeks?

So, I’ve got engaged guy, saying goodbye to me, holding me, tenderly burying his head into my shoulder.

“Leaning forward” with SeenmecryCD, with his gf.

Jack CD…outgirling him to the max and feeling confused as H-E-double hockey sticks, because of this random long distance girl of his.

and no one else really interesting me right now, or even showing interest in me, for that matter.

and I feel…I don’t know. I just feel like moving forward. I want someone to move forward with me, and if they don’t, they get left in the dust!

what are these guys teaching me?

that I feel fear of commitment. that the less available a guy is, the more I want him.

that I need to work on my communication skills?

I don’t know.

but I feel okay…

Hi Turquoise, you didn’t miss an official announcement but yes, I am expecting

I’m at the tail end of my first trimester.

I feel very excited and a little bit nervous…mostly because I want for the baby to be healthy and feeling confident that I am doing the right things to provide for it.

My guy has been super sweet and supportive, making me lots of great food, and cleaning the house, making midwife appts, etc.

Yes, yes, very exciting and also nervous, shaking in my boots, can I do this?, type of feeling?

255:

Turquoise,

It’s reassuring to know that you have been able to stop and get a handle on your emotions before you speak.

I have issues with that.
I have alot of deeprooted resistence with it.
I find it’s taking me a long time.
I feel really impatient when my emotions are triggered.
Often I’ll walk away coz I don’t know how to manage my emotions and speak in FMs without blaming.
The walk away is always interpreted as walking out period.

I want to at least start by saying “I’m feeling really angry right now, and I don’t want to say anything hurtful.”

I am feeling a turmoil of anger around a trigger right now.
I was reading a book on relationships last night, and what stuck was “responsibility” with our emotions, feelings and working on self.

In my mind, I was telling myself that I do that but he doesn’t.
He blamed me, and I blamed him and the wheel keeps on turning.
I keep the wheel turning in my mind coz I still got angry that he doesn’t do any introspection and only looks at what I do.

I get to accepting my own responsibility and get to feeling love for myself.
Then I read that book, and I still get triggered.

(((Iamabutterfly)))

I feel compassion for u.

Please don’t take my assumptions as fact but it sounds like her likes your attention & affection. Maybe it makes him feel-like a boss. Also maybe he likes thinking he might maybe somehow has the option of sleeping with you…and doesn’t want to lose that …so he stares at you to maintain “th connection” …but he doesn’t lean forward and do anything because he already has a girlfriend and therefore mybe his heart is already taken?

I believe that yes…on a subconscious level your afraid of commitment and fear intimacy so you gravitate towards hopeless situations because they are safe. You cant get your heart broken in a real sense.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 2:43pm
275: Laughing Goddess says:

Awwww Ruth, Goddess Lily, Ulii, and Lilibee, I feel so moved by your support.

I feel a little overwhelmed and am just taking it day by day.

I always knew that I wanted to wait until about this age before I had kids. My mom got pregnant with me at 16 and I saw what that was like for her. She worked it, but I really wanted to give myself time to experience life and gain maturity and have lots of independence before doing so.

And now that its happening…Wow! I am still feeling a bit of shock.

And I guess a part of me has felt hestitant to get too invested because I know there is a big possibility of losing a pregnancy early on. And because I haven’t experienced this before, I don’t quite know how my body will handle it.

But everything seems to be going well and I actually feel really strong. I have had quite a bit of morning sickness but I hear that is actually a good sign, means that the pregnancy hormones are strong.

This is really testing my tendency to feel anxious about things. I think that is where my work lies, is relaxing and trusting that everything is going to be okay.

I tend to worry a lot about things that I love, my family, pets, and I don’t want to be an anxious, over-protective mothers.

So yes, yes, I think that’s where the growth is for me right now.

Trust, surrender, taking inspired action.

The thing is, they never start out being “taken.” they always become “taken” right when i’m trying to figure out stuff. or when i’m feeling scared. or when I’m closing off my heart. or when they are not even interested and I’m just pretending that they are to make myself feel better?

I don’t know anything. I feel sad and stuck…

LG, I was really sick with my first, she ended up being a month early with a ton of hair, and has always been pretty healthy. My second one wasn’t as sick, she was two days late, not much hair… But also very healthy. So in my experience, bad morning sickness may have equated with a head full of hair.

299: Ulii says:

I must write here as otherwise it’s going to be impossible to avoid leaning forward in a crazy way.

Sorry in advance if it´s going to be a lot negative.

I want to cry & scream at my ex boyfriend:
You never loved me enough to fight for me! You never loved me enough to want to make me happy! You say you love me & miss me, but the same time you are already with somebody new… how come?! why!? If you say you failed in our realtionship, why you just didn’t step up & claimed me the way I needed. Why aren’t you brave enought.

I know it´s not fair say that to him… I have done really bad things to him. I let him down, I made him suffer a lot. I can still see it, he is still affected by everything that happened. So… from the other side I also want

… to be with him again and be held by him. I feel now I miss him so much. Is this only the intensity that was brought back by the fact that now I know he is seeing someone else?

And I want to hug him too and try to make him happy again… I know that’s somehting crazy I should not be wanting after becoming familiar with Rori´s work, but I have a strange feeling I could actually do it…and that maybe I am that masculine-energy type of woman after all and being the stronger one & the protecter in a relationship is the only way to go.. And maybe I can even be happy like that? Maybe I have to give up my attraction to more masculine type men and stick with what I’m good at (hanging out with feminine artistic & sensitive guys like my ex…with whom I tend to lose the attraction at some point) ?

Or maybe I need to do it to finally get rid of the guilt because I had half provoked our breakup by cheating back then. And he is so clearly not over it still…he has bad feelings still & can not sleep & was crying just the other night as he feels he has failed in the relationship with me..and he still has feelings for me..a lot… as he says.

It is quite hard to define my feelings exactly. There are so many of them: jealousy, loss, sadness, feeling abandoned, “all alone in the world”, afraid of “nobody will ever love me again”, worthless – “he never loved me enough to fight for me” etc…

I just feel so sick in my stomach right now and it’s hurting physically like big stones going round and round inside me and crushing everything on their way…

All you say is true..relationship minded men tend to be IN relationships and there are many “negative ” thoughts which are actually reality based around dating, getting older and being alone, eg singles die younger.

Its also true that no amount of parroting of tools and systems , not Roris or anyone else’s will bring you a good man for life.

I see the value of these ideas is in healing ME of relationship wounds and making me a better more open person in the world at large.

Whilst the goal we all share may be getting a relationship that we want , i have come to think of it differently.

Ruth,

I feel as if you and I may be very much alike. Some of your posts and things you allude to sound very much like my life issues.
I understand your reluctance to “tell your story” as it were, but I hope at some point you will feel a little more comfortable to spew or spam or whatever you need to do.
It took me a long time to feel safe enough to post some of my stuff, I am still going through a huge process.
I just wanted you to know there’s a connection here.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 3:39pm
305: Sirenity says:

I now ask myself what is the FEELING i am seeking, and over and over again its the same thing ..security . Its also validation that i am “good enough” .

I have come to see that the lack of security began when my aging father was discovered having several affairs behind my mothers back in a marriage of 40 years duration. This shook my “secure base”.

Soon after my own marriage dissolved from under me as i found my husband desperately hated being married ..to me..and wanted his “freedom”. I lost certainty as well as security.

I also lost the personal validation that I was an attractive, lovable wanted kind of person ..in fact i was so UNattractive, so UNlovable that my husband couldnt wait to get away!

Add to that a cocktail of serious illnesses and I had lost also my confidence in myself and my life force and my body.

What came next was a dreadful place of trying to get back these feelings of security, safety, validation, being ALIVE..all of that..and looking for it in the wrong place with a couple of very bad choices of whom to love . Because when I gave out that huge love i was expecting to get back all these FEELINGS I had lost. Instead i just lost more of myself and there was nothing left to lose.

Doing Roris tools and hanging around the blog has been hugely healing these couple of years. I also enjoy EMKs take care of yourself style and several others online.

I am no longer seeking a relationship to give me back what i lost . I realise i get love daily from my sons and extended family, i get security from a good job and my ability to do it well (though i still feel very anxious when i am ill and alone) I have work to do on that aspect.

Validation of me as a woman I do get from time to time when a man is complimentary or i look good in a certain outfit but that also needs work.

Because in the end I have to give myself these feelings of safety, security, love, acceptance, approval and validation on a moment by moment basis . It sure isnt coming from any man any time soon !!! And I look forward to healing myself in security even more .

Thus endeth the rant,

Ok…but writing it out is already making me feel a bit better.

My stomach is not hurting anymore…

And I’m not going to contact M to tell him anything.

Trying to remember the good things about him.
And the ways he is taking care of me in a masculine way…even now in this situation.

He brought me my favourite (and only) gossip magazine I read sometimes and what he used to enjoy reading with me.

He took me to his town by car and let me stay at his house (even he himself left for that I could stay there alone)…So I could spend few days there and go to see my many friends I have there.

He had left me little flowers beside my bed even if he himselft left for the house of that other woman.

The last day he came home before he had said and was cooking lunch for me. And he wanted to talk with me about how I am feeling etc. I myself could not really express authentically all of the turmoil of feelings I was going through. But I still felt connected to him, although so sad.. and it was hard seeing him so sad too.

Later he drove me to the bus station and also insisted to pay for my bus ride back.

I do feel he is taking care of me… and thanked him many times.

I will continue to practice feeling messages here, when I am able
I think right now they are not working in real life for me-quite the opposite
But seeing other Sirens use them, I can see what poweful tools they are when expressed appropriately(I dont think I am doing that)
As for my story-hm.Id be judged here, and i dont want that

Heart says
“Annie – “Oh. I see. I now know more of the story.

but Annie – hmmm your vibe seems a bit hostile and angry when describing the men/ in general. Is there something more to this? Are you angry with men?
(This is the internet and I could be wrong…I don’t feel anger towards men but maybe I do subconsciously and I’m projecting my issues unto you….or maybe I’m just reading the situation correctly or both. So please don’t be offended)”

I don’t feel offended.
I feel no anger towards either man.
I felt scared of the first man when he did this.
I believe I would have felt flattered in different circumstances and good, for instance if I were in a committed relationship and a man did this if another man was chatting me up. This was different and felt scary though. Like he was claiming me warning others off and warning me and I didn’t even know him and wasn’t even his.

The second man in question again I feel no anger towards. I felt comfortable around them and more relaxed because I didn’t fancy them. So I found them easier to talk too.
I feel shy and go to jelly around men I feel sexually attracted too. Or get on my high horse and act bratty.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 5:53pm
337: Annie says:

I do feel anger towards some men and society in general. or is it sadness. I suppose the anger is covering up the sadness. Yes the anger feels easier to accept and cope with. As anger has drive me and has a force behind it to compel me into action.
Sadness makes me want to give up and makes me feel despair and have no hope.

So I feel anger and then underneath that feel sadness at
how we have all played a part in making men more important.
women putting their own needs and feelings last.
It makes me feel sad. And then I feel no hope in being able to challenge and change this for the better. And once we have no hope and believe this is it, everything feels pointless. tears.

@298 Heart – sorry for the confusion. I feel so honored that you want to understand, though! I feel seen and that feels really great right now.

I think I may have misunderstood you, and then didn’t communicate exactly what I was trying to say.

he could very well want to have sex with me, I guess. or maybe a better way to say it would be he could very well feel sexual attraction towards me.

I come from the school of “wait until marriage.”

of course that doesn’t mean that I’m not or he’s not going to feel sexual attraction, it just means that we won’t be going there unless we’re married to each other, if that makes sense.

in other words, he would know that he wouldn’t have the option of sleeping with me unless we were married…

I suddenly feel not attractive enough for him…

like how could he feel sexual attraction towards me?

Why is this coming up?

i feel self-conscious about my appearance right now. I’ve put on a little weight and my clothes are getting tight and it makes me feel exposed and frumpy…:(

That is, when I am at my best, I feel feisty and invincible and amazing. When I am feeling low, down and depressed, I act like a doormat, and I feel like one, too…

But I believe my essential nature is truly on the ‘feisty’ side. That’s when I feel like my true self steps out and shines! : )

345: Heart says:

Annie – what’s under the heartbreak?

Iama – OH. I get what your trying to say. Yes lets say it that way: he feels sexual attraction..
Trust me …he thought about um like phuckingyou (moderate that lol). Iama – lots of men you know think about sleeping with you – frumpy or not.
Own that…
I suggest you spend a little time learning about men.

346: Tereana says:

I haven’t been feeling like I’ve been “getting the love” today. No notes or texts from CDs. But then again, it’s Monday. I’ve been in “masculine,” working mode all day. A large switch from my awesome, receiving, feminine weekend – yeah! I pretty much rocked it.

And this morning, I had this lovely tingly feeling all over that seemed to be leftover from SYG’s touch. Ooh, it was so lovely and pleasant. I’ve felt so relaxed and at ease all day

So I guess I don’t need to worry about “getting the love.” just because I’m not “getting” it right now, doesn’t mean I don’t have it all around me.

I blessed to be loved and appreciated by so many people

Dear Rori and all you wonderful women here,

I just wanted to thank you for your support, guidance, and encouragement all these years and share some wonderful news with you all: my guy and I got married about a month ago and we’re extremely happy and in love! Married life has been bliss so far. We went through some very tough times when my self esteem had really hit rock bottom but with your tools, working on my self, and growing comfortable in my skin, I have my sunset and happy ending. My husband is so wonderful with me–our love and respect for each other has really been renewed. We continue to argue about small things but it is never ever earth shattering to me.

I pray the same for each and every one of you. Stay you, work on you, and enjoy life! XOXO

I feel blah about my job. The women are catty and I find myself feeling totally exhausted by it. I try to ignore it. I need a more stable place to live and I’ll feel better. I’ve been staying with friends in spare bedroom for this job location and it’s taking a toll.

I feel confused. I feel like I’m thinking too much. He told me to call him after I finished having dinner with my dad, but I don’t feel like leaning forward and doing it, so I’m not gonna. Is that rude? Then, I think too much if I’m putting too much effort by making a conscious effort NOT to call. donno!! it would be kind of nice to just clean my room and lay in bed alone tonight with some nice music to not worry about this. What do you sirens think about calling him ?

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 10:51pm

Also Sirens, if you’re in LA, SF, Chicago, New York, Houston or Orange County, I’d recommend taking S Factor. It’s pole dance but with an emphasis on female movement and emotions. THey are all about female power and embracing your emotions! I love it.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 10:56pm

Hi Janie baby your plan sounds relaxing… Maybe do your plan and he will call if he wants to talk to u! It’s not rude

Emerson, you should definitely try S factor. I started it when I was going through a breakup, and it got me through. We bring in sexy lingerie and feel sexy in front of each other or just go and and cry or throw tantrums in our dance. It’s very freeing and a safe place for expression.

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 11:06pm
371: Janie Baby says:

Sometimes I feel jealous of girls who’s boyfriends want to hang out with them 24-7. My boyfriend only wants to have sex with me a couple times a week and doesn’t want to sleep over every night. If our relationship started like this, I wouldn’t think much of it…but we use dto every day…I feel a little anxious and unloved, but I also feel a little ungrateful and I don’t want to put pressure on him. How do I inspire him tow ant to spend more time with me without demanding or controlling?

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 11:08pm

370 wow sounds really interesting!

These are comments from the last thread (my responses):

Belle – 768: Cool! That sounded like a really positive and awesome text. And even better if you felt great after sending it!

Sirenity – Sure, “No” can be part of the negotiation. But it doesn’t have to be permanent – it can be “Not right now.” It doesn’t have to be NO FOREVER AND EVER. lol NO can be: this is where you are at right now. It MIGHT be forever. But you may change your mind later on. So you don’t want to box yourself into feeling guilty if you do… : )

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 11:28pm
376: Tereana says:

In fact – Sirenity, No should definitely be part of the negotiation! Someone has to be saying no in order for there to *be* a negotiation – otherwise there’s no conversation! lol

377: Tereana says:

@Emerson 374 – you shall have it!

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 11:30pm
378: Tereana says:

Whoo!! I feel a bit freer right now….I’ve just spent an hour cleaning out my “drafts” folder in my email box. Wow! I deleted so many charged-up emails, that I am soooo super glad that I never sent. lol

And I’m even MORE glad that they are no longer in existence. Okay, I am sure there is a digital record of them somewhere. But as far as I am concerned, they are released to the Universe!

There were an especially large number of emails to a friend of mine, who used to be a friend, but now is not. And it’s been years since we’ve spoken.

I actually got brave, and I sent him a message that included a Thank You for something he did for me that I never really acknowledged. I have no hope or expectation of hearing back from him. I just feel like we had so much unnecessary drama, and for years I’ve just wanted to cut through all that bullshit and get to something meaningful. I could tell that he cared about me – a lot. As a friend, for sure. Maybe nothing more than that. But we also had chemistry and attraction. He’s a good-looking guy, what can I say? Only, it felt more like him being attracted to me, and doing nice things for me, and whatnot. He was maybe my first, unofficial “CD” after my fiance. But we never really “dated” (although that’s not necessary for CD-ing, right?) He’s taught be a lot about what guys are like. And even though I don’t really miss him on a daily basis anymore, and I feel fine with him going on with his life and doing whatever he wants; I feel less angry with him; I do still have a sense of unfinished business. Not that I need to wrap it all up. But at least for now, it felt good to just express gratitude, and not to make an issue out of anything…

Oh yeah. And all those other emails – GONE!! lol

(Plus to a few other guys, too ; )

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 11:36pm

381: Emerson says:

I want and need harmony and happiness at work. Is it so impossible?

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 11:51pm
382: Tereana says:

Janie Baby – I don’t know if I’m a great person to counsel in this area, since I’d be scared as heck to have this conversation, but have you talked to him about it? It sounds like you’re not getting what you need, or maybe things have just shifted, and you’re noticing a change. My guess is that he doesn’t love you any less. And there is probably nothing you can “do” to get him to “want” you more.

In fact, I bet he feels really comfortable so that he doesn’t feel like he “has” to sleep with you every night in order to please you. I feel like I’m remembering something from Evan Mark Katz or Christian Carter about this…like sometimes when the intimacy declines, it’s not that they love you Less, it’s that they’ve gotten into a groove where loving you is second nature. So they are not trying to “prove” themselves to you. It’s probably a good sign!!

So you have a couple of options.

1.) You could do nothing, and just see if you can shift your focus from what you’re “not getting” (i.e. sex every night), and instead think about what you have – is it a great relationship with a great guy? Heck, if you get sex with the same guy three times a week, I’m jealous of YOU! Lol. *I want that.* In fact, I think that would be GREAT!! How about – Heck Yeah! You get sex three times a week! Isn’t that awesome and amazing!?! And then when you DO have sex, really, really enjoy it. Feel it. Get into it. I bet if he sees that he’s pleasing you, he may just want to do it more often. No promises. Don’t go for result. Just see what happens if you get excited about the sex that you DO have.

Okay, maybe that’s the best option for you. That’s the easiest, and totally avoids “drama.”

But if you have to talk to him. Then:

2.) Use feeling messages. You could say something like: “Hey, sweetie, can we talk for a second?” and then when he says yes, just tell him what a great boyfriend he is and how much you like him. And then share feeling messages. Share how much you love different things that he does, and that it would feel so great to be intimate more often. The trick here is not to put any “pressure” on him. You don’t want to sound like you are “demanding” sex every day of the week. Just maybe more like, “Hey, Honey, I love our relationship, but I’m not sure that I’m getting all the intimacy that I really need. It would feel great to be close to you more often. What do you think?” Then see how he responds…

Helpful? Other siren input?

Monday, 15 October 2012 @ 11:56pm
386: Tereana says:

I think I’ve figured out a key to being with a guy – FUN! Like, if I can have FUN with a guy, and if he can have fun with me, and I have fun with my life, then there will be less to worry about!

I can grasp this emotionally, even though at the moment, it is probably a little harder for me to put into practice. But I can practice. I can practice having fun little bits at a time….

Fun makes everything feel like less pressure. Fun makes things feel good. If a guy feels like he’s having fun when he’s around you, then he’ll want more…and more and more. Not fun at the expense of your boundaries. But fun because you HAVE boundaries. Fun because you are confident and feisty and a perfect expression of yourself.

THAT is what fun means. And I intend to be that woman as much as possible – fun, AND with good boundaries. I will be the best partner ever!!!!

Tuesday, 16 October 2012 @ 12:00am
387: Janie Baby says:

Tereana, thanks for the advice! I really enjoy it. Yes, maybe I need to start practicing gratitude. Instead of getting upset when I see other girls with their boyfriends all the time, realize my boyfriend is busier right now and appreciate what I get but also dont rely too much on him.

Also , sounds good about the email to the male friend. sometimes its very freeing to be honest and get out your feelings to the universe.

thanks so much Emerson, that’s sweet!!

He is the masculine energy.

I feel kind of silly but
I guess a little part of me was hopeful that he would show up and like Want me really bad or sumting.
I feel a little sad.

He is a lovely guy, but I have no romantic interest in him at all, although I LURVE his Canadian accent!

After I left, I was standing by the road at a set of traffic lights, and a car went past slowly and a guy yelled out, “Oooohhh! You are STUNNING!”.

Wow. Now if THAT won’t boost my vibe, nothing will! lol I have had a spring in my step ever since! Haha!

On another note, I met a true born Floridian outdoor Surfer-man the other day on the beach….very rare to find down here. He is unable to make any plans though, so he’s been calling/texting…I guess he is a bit shy. Or it’s just a Floridian thing. Mr You know who was the same. Boys, it’s not hard to say ‘dinner on Wed, is that ok?’ Whatever.
I guess they too suffer from being and feeling rejected, at least that’s what I hear a lot.

Got to be careful with the blonde surfer Floridian type..they do get me all hot and bothered, see Mr You know who (I don’t want to talk about him anymore, so..) and a couple of years ago I met another Blondie Yacht Broker sexy Florida man who told me he was separated….WELL, Ladies, I know a friend of his and just heard him and his wife had a second baby. Strange separation…I kinda knew he was feedin’ me lines though.

Oh well.

Heart, yep. It got better. Once he realised I wasn’t interested anymore (he was also a bit dense, soooo not attractive no matter how handsome a guy is), he opened up and told me he goes with ‘female’ friends to swingers clubs.
Poor wifey, at home holding the baby having no idea. I’d rather stay alone then end up with a guy like that….

“Older men have a huge blind spot when it comes to age. They refuse to even consider women their own age, even if she’s fit and attractive. Worse, they’re hypocritical about it, because they don’t understand why the vast majority of younger women won’t go for them.”

Ain’t this the truth! They also have very warped man mirrors!!

I know personally one guy who is 55 who has made a fake profile putting himself as 35 (!!!) convinced all the hot young women are going to be falling over themselves to get to him!!! :-O

Baggage reclaim, wow that strikes home:

The person calls and asks for something —— > They spring into action even though they have reservations —> They think that maybe ‘this time’ it’s for real —–> They feel validated by receiving the call and doing whatever it was that was asked (they feel needed, valued, more important than someone else they’re involved with etc) —> The relationship doesn’t materialise —> They feel despondent —> They wonder why what they did wasn’t enough —> They think about how they need to move on and forget this person —-> Some time passes (possibly the same amount of time as usual) —->The person calls but doesn’t ask for something —— > They are curious and take the call —–> They feel validated and hopeful along with other short-term feel good emotions although they no doubt feel cautious —> They’re afraid to tell them to jog on because what if this time is different? What if this time it’s for real? —> They sleep together / hang out —->The relationship doesn’t materialise —> They feel despondent —> They wonder why what they did wasn’t enough —> They think about how they need to move on and forget this person —-> Some time passes (possibly the same amount of time as usual) —-> And…. lather, rinse, repeat.

Love Note of the Week:
Taking responsibility is the first step in Creating Love On Purpose.

“By taking responsibility for our feelings, our actions, and our outcomes we put ourselves in the driver’s seat to create the change that we desire. This process is not something that can be done for us, each individual who desires to take control of their life must first take their power back. The point of power is always in the present moment, not in the story of past events, or in dreaming of the future. Remember, YOU are the common denominator in all of your relationships.”

We are here to support you on your path to love.

Love and Abundance,

Orna and Matthew

I leaned back after JC was so distant on Saturday at my house and now he is calling me every evening to chat, telling me how much he misses me, inviting me to lunch tomorrow and to spend the weekend with him . . . the dance is so funny once you understand how it works.

I can feel us getting closer – it feels like a nice slow dance, no drama, no tears – could be the start of a loving relationship. This Thursday makes our 2 month anniversary of our first date. It feels like we are doing this right. Might have to use the “L” word here pretty soon – lol. That would feel very good.

I used to find baggage reclaim a bit harsh…now I realise the reason for this might have been that I had few boundaries and was too soft (on the inside).

Tam,
I, too, have gotten a lot of eye-opening wake-up calls from the baggage reclaim site. It’s almost like she has been behind me the past few years witnessing everything that’s been happening in my life, aghhhh scary stuff!

Tuesday, 16 October 2012 @ 6:57am
414: Tam says:

Sassy..mmmhmm..you know, I didn’t like her labelling people as ‘assclowns’ and judging them – because each and every person, man and woman has their own story and some of them very sad.
However, I recognise myself as one of those fallback girls, believing the best, giving people a chance – and not hinged on any reality of what is in front of me.
I needed a reality check.

After reading this baggage reclaim I see the pattern really clear and it needs to stop. It’s so crazy!

I have a lot of business to catch up on today but I am going to do some networking as well and try to improve my situation. I need to get some things rolling in a better direction with my job!

Tuesday, 16 October 2012 @ 7:26am
416: Dominique says:

I feel curious Ruth and Sassy why you fear being judged and here of all places. Yes it can become a bit feisty at times, but judgement?

What is it within you? Do you fear your own tendency to judge? We all do this by the way which I recently wrote about, and this is not necessarily a negative. It’s what you do with the judgmental thoughts after which is important.

Do you fear appearing stupid, silly, or something else which you deem a “bad” thing? We all have our stories like these. And so what? What does it matter what others think? You know who you are, and this is what matters.

I’m not saying you need to share your stories. I do encourage you to explore why this is a fear you have.

Janie baby 371

It’s all about you girl! A shift in yourself and your vibe and energy will have you worrying less about how much time he wants to spend with you. These shifts in vibe are what are truly inspirational for a man. Composing feeling messages around this is seriously tricksy….Because no, you don’t want to pressure and you don’t want to cling and feel bad because “he wants…” or “he doesn’t want…” Can’t lie…It’s not a good place to come from. Releasing him as the cause of your feelings is a great start! Releasing any need for him to do anything at all is another great start. Counterintuitive, yes. But the best way to inspire a man is to not try to inspire him at all! Go ahead and inspire yourself instead.

In order to do this we must dig far far deeper to find the true root of our feelings. Under the jealousy of other girls there may be desire, unfulfillment, frustration, anxiety.

Jealousy is the end zone. It is not the playing field. It looks a little like this…

I feel desire to be wanted by a man and to have his full and undivided attention. I feel unfulfilled because I am not receiving the attention I desire. I feel anxious because I don’t feel confident or capable of receiving this without pushing or pressuring for it.

Now I feel jealous of other girls who do receive this effortlessly. Now I feel urgent to get there myself. Now I feel irritated and angry and down and hopeless and lost.

And now you can feel stoked and excited because you CAN get there! It just takes practice and dedication. Dive in deep and you will find success. I have found my success is coming in stages and I feel like I keep shedding skins and the more I shed the more truly amazing I feel. I feel amazing even when I feel totally angry or sad. And anyone can do this!

I think I re-wired my brain…I feel cleansed in my soul.

I feel different. I feel like I was never truly me. All those layers and layers of thick skins and fears and shields and misinformation. Misguided girl. Not truly me. I imagine all the time what it would feel like to bump into people I have not seen in a long time…It would feel twinkly and smiley and happy and also a little mysterious. I imagine they would look at me like they couldn’t put their finger on something and I giggle inside because I am 100% fully aware of every finite detail of myself at all times. Like I have a fancy little secret with myself. Oh I would love to bump into someone!

I have observed my meeting new people is effortless. Mmmm so aware! Met a new man person yesterday. Eye contact. A full, genuine smile spread on my face. I felt some bubbliness and intrigued feelings. My eyes felt clear and open. Firm handshake. Tall posture. I leaned slightly forward to bridge the space. I felt some electricity crackle on my skin. I felt confident. I am also becoming aware of others’ feelings through body language. I watched his eyes go from blank to curious to intrigued to thoughtful to nervous all in the span of a handshake. 5 seconds. And he broke the eye contact by a glance sideways and then quickly back and then I looked at G. I also observed that my boss looked like she felt nervous and jittery during an interaction with me. Side to side stepping and a little hand wringing. Her eyes were hard to catch. She mostly was looking at places on my body (my hands, shoulders, nose). She was only asking me to sighn my employee review (which was glowing ).

Mmm I feel very observant and intrigued.

I do love to feel like I am an inspiration rather than a disappointment lol I felt like a disappointment (to myself, to men) most of my life. I dunno…It just feels really strange to see and think I am enviable. :p My strongest desire in this moment is for every woman to envy only herself.

Ruth a friend from my past, over 20 years ago, contacted me today. She said the last time we spoke you were talking marriage, hope you are enjoying your golden years. I felt tearyeyed, nauseous and like a stab in my stomach all at once. Why? I ask myself. I have made so many mistakes in my life. Seen myself as that girl chasing after men and never getting it. Then when I do get it, there is a lot of regrets and trembling. I believe some sort of shift has taken place in my life, around relationships and life in general. But rest assured that I am not all there yet. I respect those that pat themselves on the back and are happy about how great their life is going but I can’t necessarily say that about myself. I have come a long way but still have a long way to go. I can’t speak for anyone else but I know I am in position to judge you. I keep encouraging you to stick your head of out the shell because I get a sense that you want to but get scared too easily. I again want to encourage you to just pour it all out. If nothing else you will be further down your evolution road and be happier for it. Believe me.

Hi ,

Oftentimes, we’re more critical of ourselves than of other people.

Do you ever say things to yourself like…

“I’m not good enough…

I’m stupid…

I’m unlovable…

I know, harsh, but for many of us, this critical voice dominates much of our thinking.

453: Laughing Goddess says:

Thanks for the love, ladies!!!

I’m feeling soooo satisfied because I put a bunch of ingredients in the crockpot last night and woke up to a delicious stew!!!

I’ve never done that before. I had the temperature too low so the sweet potatoes and celery were still a bit too crunchy but the overall flavor was so tasty. I kept going back for more and now I am a little uncomfortably full.

I am in love with food at the moment and have been pouring over recipes and coming up with all sorts of ideas. I feel so passionate about it. I feel kinda embarassed and worried that people might think I have an eating obsession but its actually quite the opposite.

I’m normally one of those people that doesn’t care about food and can go forever without eating and it’s really not good for me at all. I feel weak and emotional and drained and well, malnourished. So me caring about nourishing myself is quite a good thing…especially because I have and will have extra nutritional requirements for a while.

So yes, I feel satisfied and happy with myself for making such a delicious concoction and soon I will be off to an appt to interview a possible midwife with my sweets. It’s really about time that we decide on someone and commit. I already have my favorite but there is one woman we haven’t seen yet and I would feel better getting to know her before making a decision.

I also feel inspired to organize my clothes today. I’ve been feeling a but frumpy. I’m still pretty small but am putting on some weight and really want to prioritize looking nice.

I’ve been feeling tuned in to the subtle dynamics between my guy and I am while he says he is totally committed and I feel it and see it in his actions, I do want to take care of myself and remain attractive. I can sometime get in a frump slump and that doesn’t feel good at all.

So I feel inspired to spend some time in the goddess temple (my little room where I keep my clothes and special things) and get it organized so that its easy for me to get ready and feel beautiful and radiant.

But during the transition, you may very well have difficulty feeling connected to him and even to yourself. Your relationship may feel on hold, for in this interim time while you are seeking to find each other again in a better and healthier way. Things may feel weird, bland, vanilla, or they may feel disorienting, upside down and inside out. You may feel undesired and thus undesirable if he’s withdrawn, as he processes which he likely will. You may fear ever feeling good with him again. And your gremlins may be running wild within you.

455: Laughing Goddess says:

In fact, I would like to set the goal of getting up every morning and getting ready and dressed (like flylady says). Because I work from home, it’s so easy for me to not do that.

I can think of so many ways that I would feel better if I made a habit of getting beautified first thing in the morning.

I would feel more inspired to get out and do fun things like shop for clothes, visit with friends, take dance lessons.

I would feel more comfortable being flirtatious and sireny.

So yes, this is my promise to myself. I don’t know why but it feels really hard. It’s like I need some sort of motivation to beautify myself. Could I really make this a habit where I just do it every day no matter what?

This feels like a big thing for me.

I feel so embarassed about my ups and downs!

but there really is no reason to feel embarassed. it’s normal and I’m healing and it’s okay!

I feel great today.

Today feels fresh, new, and exciting.

I love my best friend. I love when she is angry, sad, lonely, and even a little clingy sometimes, because it is what makes her human.

Because she accepts me when I am those ways…

If I can love my best friend like that, I can love a man like that…

If I can love a man like that, I can love myself like that…

LongDistanceDate talked to me on fb last night. He was in a baaad, feel-sorry-for-me mood.

It felt irritating at first, but I was in a really good mood, so I felt playful, and just kind of typed out my playfulness, and he said it was making him feel better.

and it felt so good to make him feel better!

Given that I had just been feeling low, it felt great that I had gotten out of it, and could help someone else get out of it.

I think it feels hard because I find it to be boring. I wonder if I could find some way to make it feel fun???

Maybe set up some speakers back there so I could listen to inspirational music and talks? That could make it feel more interesting.

I have actually been wanting to make a habit of listening to something inspiring first thing in the morning. Maybe I could kill two birds with one stone.

Yes! This could work!

Dominique – 417

I cant speak for Ruth or anyone else for that matter. But as I stated in #4, I don’t like confrontation. I don’t believe anyone likes to be judged, and yes, we do all do it. I’m trying very hard not to judge people so harshly as I have in the past.
Of course, we all want to be liked, even those of us who arrogantly state they don’t care what people think of them.
Anyway, my feelings around not being comfortable about writing certain information here stem from witnessing sirens get attacked for telling their stories and asking for help, expressing their feelings and yes, being judged. They then refuse to continue to post. I certainly have fears, and am doing my best to learn what my path is. I’m trying to be loving and provide positive encouragement here, because at the end of the day, life, love, and relationships are tough enough.

Once a week,I make a point of wearing nice lingerie
It feels a bit fake, but eventually it might work

My situation would horribly trigger many Sirens on here, so, I wont be specific, if thats okay
But I learn so much about personal growth and feeling mesages on here

Mind you, you would have laughed yesterday

I am nornaly very articulate
I had thiught for ages abiut a script
I didnt actually write it down but it was in my head and all in feeling messages with pauses for replies

Could i get it out of my mouth?

NOPE

I ended up umming and ahhing and apologsisng and porbably not getting anything acrosss
I felt totally paralysed

Sassy – Hugs, and I do understand. I just wanted to have you be clear on it all.

A suggestion? It may or may not be true that life and love is tough, yet you can change how you feel about it. If you can tell yourself it’s all easy and effortless, at the very least, it will take the edge off.

Love to you.

((((Ruth))))
Triggers are good but I do understand the not wanting to share…
and I also understand the ‘not getting it out of the mouth’…I can’t usually. My feeling messages seem pretty fake to me, even if they try to convey what I am actually really feeling…and I am also very articulate.
I just don’t get it.

New thread up! Hate when we’re all in the middle of good posting and have to move over…
Anyway, thank you Dominique. Yes, I will try to change my thinking and feeling and try to see it as easy and effortless.
As you say, it’s a journey and mine is just beginning.
Oh Ruth and Tam- I too have such a hard time expressing my feelings out loud. I think it’s because for a very long time, I didn’t feel anything!

Sassy, I am goung to use some of your words for my own processing. I am definitely going to disagree with you so I just want to first say I am not attempting to spark an argument or even a discussion…I just felt and thought some things reading you and want to type it out for my own benefit! Of course, anyone is free to respond. Just don’t want to be misunderstood

I see “arrogantly state they don’t care what people think…” and I feel slightly irritated by this. I ask myself why? Do I think I don’t care what people think of me…Hmmm no. Not necessarily. I feel a lil confused. Do I even think this is an arrogant way of thinking? No. Not really…I would feel more arrogant assuming I must always act or speak in a way that I believe would be “likable” to everyone. I would feel more arrogant to assume no one likes me. Or everyone likes me. Or everyone should like me. hmmmm so what is it for me? How do I remove myself from the restraints of being bound by what people think…I guess I can just kind of respect that everyone has an opinion. I can feel cool with thinking the opinion of “me” will differ vastly depending on who is forming the opinion. I can conjure an image of a person in my mind saying to me “I just simply don’t like you. I think you’re weird.” and I can say “ok…cool. I respect that!” i’m not for everyone. Ahhh yeah. That feels calm and good. Thank you for this trigger.

There are many shades between feisty and a doormat. All men are going to be somewhere on that spectrum. They will more often than not like a certain kind of girl and be more inclined to form relationships with them. The same for women obviously.

You are who you are at the end of the day. You have to ask yourself how much you want the relationship and how much you are willing to change. That is if you don’t feel you fit the profile of the partner you want.

We all need to adjust to bring harmony to a relationship. We just need to figure out how big an adjustment we are comfortable with.

Radlove, I haven’t dated since my fiance passed 16 months ago. I seem to be in a stall mode..Maybe afraid of more hurt. Don’t know. Other then that not much to report. Would love to have something wonderful to tell you of course! Thanks for asking. How have you been Radlove?

James, I’m letting this thru for now, if http://www.therelationshiphub.com is you. I don’t allow men on the site anymore, it compromises the “girlness” of the blog – but professionally, I’m happy to let everyone see who you are and what you’re doing out there. I can’t get you into moderation once I’ve approved this, so if you’re really a professional coach, and want to post here, please use your full professional name so I can see each post before I let it through – just being careful! Sincerely, Rori

Femininewoman, It has been most difficult..but it has been 16 months now and starting to feel somewhat on more level ground again..I realized just how much I loved Steve when he died..I knew I did…but you really find out how much after they are gone. Thanks for asking..how have you been? Anything new?

Ok I have a question that has been weighing on my mind for a while now.
Is it counter productive to let go of what’s going on in my relationship at the moment and do the steps to making my self happier and my relationship happier. But at the same time having a back up plan as far as where to live if at the end of my, as I call it thinking period, nothing has changed? Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks

Jeannette,

472 – I pray for you when you come to mind. I know it is a long, dark struggle to come up out of something so tragic.

I cant live like this anymore. Is not him, its me. I am trying to always keep positive, not listening to the nasty voice, but she always wins. I hate the nasty voice. She has made my life so difficult. I dont even know how I got here. I used to be so strong, now I’m so weak. I do not trust myself. I do not trust if I found out he is hurting me behind my back that I will be able to defend myself by leaving. I am weak. I have been trying to heal myself by doing all that you’ve written, reading positive affirmations, books, cutting out the negatives, I even started seeing a therapist but I feel hopeless. I have gone against my beliefs of things I thought I’d never do (go through his things). Am I looking for things, (and then ignoring them)? Or am I trying to stay ahead of the hurt? How do I decipher whats the nasty voice, or whats intuition or my gut feeling that is truly trying to protect me? The thing is, it happens to me in every relationship. I am the strongest when I’m single. But I cant be single for my entire life.

I try to do things I like, but finances have me strapped.

Help me. More so for myself, than for my relationship.

Asia – You’re going about this wrong – and it’s easy to do with all the “affirmation” and “manifesting” advice out there. I know if you’re only reading newsletters that you can get different ideas, even from my work – but try this: LOVE YOUR NASTY VOICE. The problem here is that you’re struggling with her, hating her – when really, your Nasty Voice is just your Inner Child, your inside little girl. Love her, embrace her. She’s just scared and screaming. Hear her out, and start to learn to trust yourself by OWNING that YOU are in charge. Love her, hear her – but don’t DO WHAT SHE SAYS. In other words – just because you love her doesn’t mean you have to follow her instructions, and believe what she says. She’s just a 2-year old crying and screaming and tantrumming. Love her and be in charge of ALL of you. We’ll help you stop putting so much energy into men. Love, Rori
