everyone has their own style or approach when it comes to talking,dating, and committment.

The old school way, yes, Men are encourage to chase, be persistent, and prove his worthiness...l ols But keep in mind, this was when women in general were still angels and would never dare kill a ant...lmao

Today, its very different. It's very fast pace. If one or the other does not show the same matching energy, interest, or effort, it's pretty much onto the next...lols Men today are very sensitive to being call creeps, desperate or simps. They also prefer women who can be straight up and upfront, if she don't like him like that, he can take it and would appreciate her honesty. Men don't like mind games, being tested. Some men will play along, some, the minute you play mind games, test his masculinity, is the last time you hear from him..There's plenty of women, he knows that will like him enough to not test him, or make him chase her. She will match his efforts or show of interest...lol s

There's just as many bad women out there as bad men. lols It's a two way street, and both will have to agree to meet somewhere neutral first, let a trusted friend know about the situation, in case, shit hits the fans and bullets start flying, then...they know where to find you..hell, maybe both party needs a friend to come along for that first meeting...lols but two people need time to get to know each other, introduced to friends, and demonstrate both have good intentions, whether they both want to take it to the next level or not and still respect one another...what ever the outcome may be. Mature people can take rejections like champs.

To men, it's not about being the leader anymore, Men today treat women as equals. They want someone that will work together with them, lead and make decisions together with them. They too want a partner who has feminine confidence...l ols

this is the only way to go about it, as safely and as respectfully these days.....

While in London last weekend because my son was running in the London Marathon, we saw a blind person running in the London marathon. The blind person ran locked elbow with another runner. It goes to show that we all have too many excuses for why we can't while this person found all the reasons why he could.

I used many of Ashida Kim's Zen stories in my book.  I asked for permission from Mr. Kim. All the great stories help us to understanding happiness in our life's journey.  For in happiness, we give ourselves to the world and ask for nothing.  In our unhappiness, we take everything from the world and our unhappiness radiates into the world.  One of my favorite that I used was:

Ryonen's Clear Realization

The Buddhist nun known as Ryonen was born in 1797. She was a granddaughter of the famous Japanese warrior Shingen. Her poetical genius and alluring beauty were such that at seventeen she was serving the empress as one of the ladies of the court. Even at such a youthful age fame awaited her.

The beloved empress died suddenly and Ryonen's hopeful dreams vanished. She became acutely aware of the impermanency of life in this world. It was then that she desired to study Zen.

Her relatives disagreed, however, and practically forced her into marriage. With a promise that she might become a nun after she had borne three children, Ryonen assented. Before she was twenty-five she had accomplished this condition. Then her husband and relatives could no longer dissuade her from her desire. She shaved her head, took the name of Ryonen, which means to realize clearly, and started on her pilgrimage.

She came to the city of Edo and asked Tetsugyu to accept her as a disciple. At one glance the master rejected her because she was too beautiful.

Ryonen then went to another master, Hakuo. Hakuo refused her for the same reason, saying that her beauty would only make trouble.

Ryonen obtained a hot iron and placed it against her face. In a few moments her beauty had vanished forever.

Hakuo then accepted her as a disciple.

Commemorating this occasion, Ryonen wrote a poem on the back of a little mirror:

In the service of my Empress I burned incense to perfume my exquisite clothes

Now as a homeless mendicant I burn my face to enter a Zen temple.

When Ryonen was about to pass from this world, she wrote another poem:


Sixty-six times have these eyes beheld the changing scene of autumn

I have said enough about moonlight,

Ask no more.

Only listen to the voice of pines and cedars when no wind stirs.

C2 corvettes are rare and the split windows are even rarer.  I wouldn't sell either.  Fully restoration C2 brings over $250k at Barret Jackson.

I remembered hearing this story last year but don't know why it closed.

You didn't betray me, you betrayed yourself, did you disappoint me, yes, but it was expected- stick to your roots, hold tight to your values- your kind is born, not made- You are now ready- the time has come
