Isn't the feeling mutual most of the time?

I would say, happy relationship are generally composed of people who are already happy outside of a relationship. People who aren't happy outside of relationship aren't happy inside of a relationship. Generally speaking, magic wand solutions to happiness doesn't work.

Einstein said he feared the day when technology surpassed human interactions. I think he was right to. Individualism also inherently makes it harder to understand each other, as personal experiences tend to gradually grow apart further and further. Not saying individualism is inherently wrong...

Then perhaps my post wasn't so clear, cause I was talking about some girls that want to sleep on the first night but won't say anything about it. From a male's pov, the distinction between pressure or not can be quite vague, at least people like me find it morally wrong to try doing so and won't...

Like this definition : Peer pressure is influence that a peer group, observers or individual exerts that encourages others to change their attitudes, values, or behaviors to conform the group norms. Social groups affected include membership groups, in which individuals are "formally" members...

Think we're operating under different meaning of pressure, furthermore sleeping with someone on the first date/night remains something not for me. Can you stop having to only assume the extremes every time? It'd make communication much smoother - there are points we're trying to communicate and...

Do not trust THIS - not even nearly. That username just made me burst of laughter. The email address and given name was blanked out by me, still have to respect that level of privacy. Btw that's not from a dating website and I specifically mentioned I wasn't _at all_ looking for relationship...

Insomniac.

I don't think you're his friend if you can't accept a single disagreement. Let me quote your own self : "You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You were here to be you, not to live someone else's life!" Yet you can't apply this on your supposed best friend, wanting him to be perfect...

Welcome. Magician? That's awesome. I also love history, tho I'm more into philosophy. Used to be pretty big into j-things (am part of the translation group witchhunt too... sorta bad maybe since you're a magician ahaha) but mostly reading j-novels nowaday.

You are "too much" something and "not enough" something else. Or others are "too much" something and "not enough" something else. This tend to defines one's situation of loneliness or at least rejection by or of others. It can even be at times qualities. "You are too nice". But at the same time...

Going to complement a bit on TheSkaFish's stuff, which I kinda agree with, but feel it's very incomplete : Guys often complain that girls end up with bad boys - this is definitively "true" (under a certain definition of bad boys) but guys themselves often end up with "bad girls" and don't see...

Well I'm glad if this managed in a way or another to have create reflexion, keep in mind tho I am not saying romance is inherently bad, but rather that it should be understood for what it is. This shouldn't be confused with "living life itself in a romantic way" which I personally think is the...

Find what is it you truly desire. Then chase it, you will most likely find other people who desires the same thing as you do, and you may find kinship enough there to chase away your loneliness. If you say what you truly desire is friendship, then you probably haven't found what you truly...

Ah, well it'd be my pleasure then, but I hope I'm not going to offend anyone with this... also I'm going to take things that are also from Hillman, Aristotle, Lewis Carroll and possibly even Aleister Crowley (and not just Carl Jung, mostly because he stereotyped girls and guys a bit too much...

I'm going to say something that comes directly from Carl Jung's stuff, so to be taken as what it's worth for (psychology evolved a lot since then) - but his definition of "Sophia" (wisdom) is the realization that "one single entity will never fulfill all of one's desires" (not simply applicable...

After a really long self-reflection, I decided to again kinda "switch jobs". Or rather, maybe not job, cause this is a really long study, but in the end what I really like is philosophy, so I'm going to study that from now on. I always told myself it was useless because it wouldn't bring me a...

You continue to be blind to the fact that a truth doesn't come with an interpretation and that this later part is entirely subjective and in your own hands. When you fight a dragon, you must learn to expect that you will be wounded on the way. Mental exploration is another form of adventure...

Well that's a bit too complicated to get into all of it in a single or even a few post. You are like saying that the sun is a giant ball of gas on fire and thus in denial of it's role as source of all life on earth, it's that kind of thing. The perspective that something has for your own self is...

Using a single truth to crush all others is getting further and further away from actual understanding of anything. I'll leave it at that.
