No Weedwhacker, this is not the way of the BP OT Dating Temple. To achieve you must risk. To enter the anointed temple that is our objective, you must risk all by serving many.

You'd be amazed at what women will do if you are blunt, direct and don't beat around the bush about what you want. Being very open and honest gets you what you want.

Puddleleaper, you have grown in wisdom by excelling in a lifelong struggle and mastering yourself and now the object that we seek: The Blessed Temple. Go forth and dispense your knowledge to others, but only when wrapped in the divine sheath of protection.

I have a respiratory infection and quite congested this morning. I started laughing aloud and have everyone in office asking me if I'm ok over this post.

My problem is I would catch feelings.

I'm risk averse. Usually because I'm on the losing side most times I stick my neck on the block.

AH SEE YES
that happens, sometimes is nice and sometimes it sucks - the doctor prescribes meeting new people in the quest for The Blessed Temple and it's different versions

Weedwhacker, you must place your feelings in a box. Then place that box in another box. Then place that box, yet in another box then place that box on a shelf in a darkened closet in the basement of the metaphorical house. Then burn the entire house down to nothing but ashes. It is though the crucible of fire that your heart will be reborn, tender but tough...soft but hard. Just as you should be when you next see her.

Do this Weedwhacker, and you will prevail in all things.

Precisely correct, Ditchstrider. Your personal knowledge grows through sharing. Now share with the ladies in your class and give them the opportunity to achieve the highest discipline of serving others.

Becoming emotionally involved with anything will only lead to a negative outcome. This applies to all things, women, jobs, cars, homes. You have to change your outlook to become successful. I've learned to not want the things that once longed for I have since acquired more that what I originally hoped for. Don't chase things in life and they will eventually chase you.

While this is true for some things, it's not so cut & dry where it can be applied to everything & everyone.

It's ok to catch feelings in some cases. While it is a shit show out there, turning one's self into a brick wall is equally not as healthy.

Do what makes you happy provided it does not harm others.

Agree. Feelings are fun, but a little like the flu, if it doesn’t work out you’ll get over it.

I would love to do that sensei, but this class is for solid mechanics and there's like maybe 1-2 cute girls of 10-12 girls in a class of maybe 70-80.
But I have my history class after this

100%
especially with cars, we love cars here. but sometimes it is time for it to go (looking at you, lincoln) but we can't sell it because every time we sit in it we realize how mucuh of a comfy yacht it is

In my experience, my children are the only exception....and even they have their limits that I will allow them to push me to. I love my children more than life itself and would gladly lay down my life for them, but when it comes to common sense or finances, I will only help them if they are making strides in helping themselves first. I've managed to get rid of all negative influences in my life; it wasn't easy as most were family. Funny thing is they still keep having the same awful shit happen to them and my life is skyrocketing.

Be direct and honest, but don't come off as an insensitive asshole. This is the mistake many guys make.

This.

I'm guilty of catching feelings, sometimes too early, but it is because I'm a passionate guy.

We've all been there. Myself included.

However, nothing ventured nothing gained. If you never jump at all, you never gain anything...
