MRbrownJAY:

yes it depends on the person. if i meet someone then the feeling i have for her and how she handles herself in my presence will either make me show my feelings or wait until the right moment to let go.
there is a right time and moment to show your loving feelings to someone, even if you automatically feel attraction for them, you have to be careful about who you showing it to. some women cant handle quick show of affection and can be scared of it(or perceive it the wrong way) while others will abuse that show of affection.
of course, i wont be cold as ice and then one day change to lovey dovey, its a gradual state and if along the way, there is some "problems" then i back down.
so it all depends on the right moment, the right mood, the right relationship and the right person.
if i fall in love with a person that i dont feel will ever be more than a bedroom buddy, then i will not let her know about my affection for her because i wouldnt want to mislead her. i wouldnt be cold as ice but i would never be lovey dovey either and the moment she try to step up the relationship, i would bring it down.
its all about how comfortable you are with someone.

Its better to start on a cold note, move to the warm level as the relationship progresses and go all out hot as you get to understand your partner.

Hi Poster

I am definitely the hot type. i always let him know that i love him and i am glad we are together. As for him taking advantage, well if he does, that means he isnt a good person and ur better off without him anyways. I was once the cold type, neva showing how i really felt and that cost me the love of someone i really wanted to be with at the time.

My dear love is a good thing. just take you time when trying to date someone, look for good qualities besides good looks and money. we can only receive as much as we give. I have been with my man for almost 2years now, and we have been dating long distance for 10 months (US/Naija) yet he is still with me and we are going strong.

Just be open abt ur feelings and make sure ur partner is someone ur comfortable with.You want them to love you for who you are and not who you seem to be and hopefully it will all work out

good luck

@ post

As much as some ppl will try to form guys heart are not rock they want to be loved and would definately appreciate it, if you tell them you do care. Sometime it bring out more of them. If 1 do something good that he expected to do and get appreciate it produces d encouragement to do more.

Do you know what this looks like?
I am very hungry. . . . .as in VERY hungry, i get to a friends place or probably a neighbour.
Or someone you are well acquainted with. He is eating or has some food. . . .  . and he asks, 'Pls come and join me'
And i am like, No am very ok' undecided sad so that you won't be called 'usa' in my mother tongue or long throat in general parlance.
Meanwhile, deep down inside, hunger the tear me apart!!
And at the end of the meal I am like argh!!! how i wish!!

Wish for what? I just ended up punishing myself. My being hungry and refusing to eat is one punishment
Watching food i have access to being eaten is even a worse punishment!! So tell me why subject yourself to this?

This is what a relationship is like. . . . . . he/she is there for the taking
But for the fear of what you are not even SURE of, you hide your personality.
deny yourself pleasure and the sensation being cared for brings. . . . . do you what it will result to?

If (s)he doesn't discover what it is you are doing, you will be a sore loser.
Cos at the end of the day, he gets bored of ya cold approach to the affair and looks for someone else
For the fear of losing her/him, you went cold, but you finally lost her/him. Losing both ways.

So why not free yourself, enjoy the gift you didn't sacrifice anything to get, be yourself and enjoy the fascination of being able to attract the opposite sex. Its fun and good to know you are desired, that you are wanted and that someone outside those whose primary responsiblity it is to care for you, loves and desires you.

One question for you; How long do you intend to remain in that cold cocoon! Assuming you don't get the proof you are looking for?
Life is a risk. Leaving your house to work is a risk. So is everything we do to survive.
So don't let the unascertained inhibitions rob you of what you desire.

Go out there and be HOT!! Not WARM!!!

Re: How Open Can You Get With Your Feelings? by kokoye(m): 4:14pm On Jun 10, 2009
Top reasons for being cold (although you would not admit it - also part of the problem):

Insecurity

Fear of rejection

Very low self-esteem

Pride

Lack of trust


At times, these are a result of life experiences - growing up with a single parent; parents being taken for granted, etc.

But there is NO LOVE when any of the reasons above are present. A relationship can never been enjoyed when any of the reasons are present. It gets as bad as you not being able to apologise when you are wrong.


Call me whipped but I am HOT and married to a HOT damsel.

I couldn't agree more.

Personally though, it ranges for me. I could grow from hot to cold in seconds.

Pride can be neccesary sometimes, of course with moderation but neccesary.
Re: How Open Can You Get With Your Feelings? by Nobody: 7:37pm On Jun 10, 2009
the thermostat mechanism is best for me. Be hot when you need to be and withdraw if its not reciprocated. You cant waste your time and effort on someone who wont appreciate it.

But when its a woman i'm deeply involved with . . . warm all the way. You wont need to ask, you'll know, feel and hear it often.

my tots exactly cos trying to curtail these feelings with someone ur involved with might cost u the relationship but again it depends on who you are dealing with
Re: How Open Can You Get With Your Feelings? by kokoye(m): 8:26pm On Jun 10, 2009
Of course it is always good to have control over one's emotion. The thing I cant stand is knowing someone is willing to go all the way with you and you're still being cold (due to the points i listed earlier) despite the fact that you know you are with the right person for you.

No need being with someone who will not reciprocate the love you give.

I once mistakenly messed with a girl who at times took joy in making me feel bad at times cos it made her feel good. She admitted having a complex and said she always felt she wasnt good enough for me; always expected me to ignore her at parties and stuff. So all her actions were geared towards expecting to be dumped.

I tried everything possible to make the girl feel good about herself (even at my own expense at times) but na, she said that's who she is and cant change.

So guess what, I left peacefully and we still talk once in a long while. Now she compares every other guy with me and cant seem to settle down. I told her a few wks back that I went out of my way to make her feel good about herself and she should not expect that from most guys - she said she needs deliverance.

God help us all
