Getting to read you and Ming's heartfelt posts about second loves and ldr both of which I can fully relate to, brought me so much peace and comfort. Thank you both for sharing your lives and your hearts with complete strangers. I've been blessed by you both today. I wouldn't dare wish you an absence of pain because I've been told it doesn't get easier with ldr but I wish you both an infinite number of special moments to tide you through the tough times and an unrelenting love that can overcome anything.

I have always followed my dating timeframe of 7 to 8 months rather strictly, but Yi Ming and I got together after 4 months. That's because he's proven himself to me - that in any situation there is, he'd take care of me and he really tried and he is still always trying for us. You should know how much he wants it, not just you. It should be mutual.<br /><br />When he 'is', your heart will know it and even your toes will feel tingly.

I started to read all your posts and...Hello Irina! <br />I started to read all your posts and follow you on social media a month or so ago. I'm not currently in a relationship nor do I think I'm near to getting into one. But I'm really confused and insecure as to what I should do. There's this guy that I met, whom I am starting to grow feelings for. He never told me that he felt the same way, at least not directly. It's always implied. He has never been in a relationship and said something about being scared of getting hurt. I'm scared to get hurt too. I really liked Yiming and your post about Second Love, because I do believe so too. It's really amazing how I can find other people from the other side of the globe that thinks exactly the same as me, even when we are not necessarily the same (personality wise). If I were to date him (and then that's when he could possibly turn into my second love, depending on how it goes--because I do believe, like you, that just because you are in a relationship with someone, it doesn't mean you would eventually love or fall in love with them for sure, to consider them to be your first, or number love), my question is, how do you know he is the right one for you? as in "choosing" your Second Love. Because you said something about how second love is better because you are more conscious about it and it takes lots of courage to take a step and love someone again. Like, I'm scared to even date someone because I'm scared that person is gonna hurt me a lot (I know it's impossible to not get hurt in a relationship, it's just about it being worth it or not), how would I know that someone is the right person to be with, aka my second love? What I mean is, how did you even choose to love your second love when you haven't even dated yet (hence, you dont love him just yet) because you are so freaking damn scared!?<br /><br />I'm sorry for posting this, I just wanted to hear from someone who was brave enough to take a second chance in love.<br /><br />Thank you for reading~<br />-ElyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947120894773822134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8998397202657385082.post-26505982108711372002014-11-03T03:22:06.052+08:002014-11-03T03:22:06.052+08:00The photo with the couch and the screening of a co...The photo with the couch and the screening of a cooking show, is that a public place?

You shouldn't see your partner as someone who you should compete with us; you should see them who's strengths make up for the things you lack. They complement you. Irina complements me and fills in the gaps of my character. For that, I love her.<br /><br />She teaches me things every day as well. How to love, how to accept myself and how to share my world with someone.
