It's the anti-war rally all over again. GOD I love the smell of opposing banners in the morning,...uh,..or evening,...as the case may be.

complimenting is better than completing.

Very well put. Still, I can't help but believe that the "IDEAL" love is the exception not the rule. I am more in the mindset of your first video. You may have been doing it in jest but I am much more hardcore on it then most. Gets me in a lot of trouble...ha.
I dont really believe in romantic love that is sustainble. Lust is often mistake for romantic love or love in general.
Need and Want are/can be similiar things. One scares the shit out of me and the other is Need wrapped in a bow. Whos the cynic now?...ha.
People assume if you don't buy the romantic love stuff, you've been hurt or jaded.....that is not the case....it is a matter of observation...pyper style. ;)

I totally agree with MH with this point - here is no such thing as a "complete person"

Life is ever changing and once you think you've completed yourself, another ball gets throw in your court. In life you are constantly learning and changing. I don't believe you can ever be truly 100% happy with yourself.

I see love as an open door policy. While I may not be actively looking for it, I will certainly allow it to come in when it finds me. I wont turn it away even if I am not happy with who I am at that time. By doing so, you may miss the best thing to ever happen to you. Love is like a complicated jigsaw puzzle - While you can do it alone, it doesn't hurt to have someone else there to help you along the way. Maybe that someone else will help you be happier with that personal puzzle your working on ;)

The more I think about 'romance' the more I get the feeling it's like the pressure to enjoy the holidays. We want to have that feeling, but it's so damn elusive, more hype than substance. I thought I had it in the one great love of my life, but it wasn't enough to sustain the relationship. As Woody Allen said in 'Annie Hall': "A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark. " No wait, wrong quote..this is the one: "I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs. "

Syd - I appreciate our video. I agree that you have to be complete as a person before you can share your life with another. I had a girlfriend was exactly like that. She needed me more than loved me. It drove me up a wall.
Thank god I found me Deborah. I personally continue to work on myself which is something that is never ending for me. This doesn't mean I can't be in a loving relationship this just mean I am growing to be a better person. I like the word wanted than needed.
thanks for this follow up.

doing your homework, taking some time. Nothing wrong with be cautious when it comes to affairs of the heart. The first word I thought was compliment, but it goes much deeper. What is your level of forgiveness, well not just yours but everyones. Unconditional love? Not expecting a thing in return. Relationships are like Ogers lol lol they peal of in levels lol ohhh ok, enough,, thank you for making me think,, *-) good morning to you

If I analyzed my relationships to that extent, I'd probably be happier single, too!! Luckily, I don't have the analytical gene. We just met, took off then and there for the weekend, and started planning the wedding! If I'd have thought about it any more than that, I'd either be single or still stuck in an dead but amicable relationship that had breathed its last breath many years ago...
