Things to Remember When Dating an Emotional Guy

I read this online somewhere and it resonated with me, summed me up quite nicely I thought though really is only a glimpse into who I am

Contrary to popular belief, men have feelings.  Being highly emotional is not a weakness but strength. Men in touch with their emotions bring a lot to the table. Not only making the world a wonderful place, they offer the true definition of love and passion. Here are some things to remember if you are in love with an emotional person.

1. They want to be connected to the people in their lives

They are in touch with their feelings and thus they are conscious of the people that they try to let into their world. If you are accepted into their world you should know that they would want a relationship that is substantive with you, something that they can cherish and has some meaning to them.

2. They will always take a chance on love

Emotional people are not afraid of giving a chance to love. They believe all relationships can be full of possibilities and things could become better. Even when they have been hurt and betrayed they will still give love another chance.

3. They express their emotions

They won’t deny themselves the opportunity to show their feelings. They are expressive. This can mean some creativity on their part when they show you how much they care for you. So expect passionate expressions from them.

4. They are selective

They wouldn’t just allow anyone into their lives. This is because they are so in touch with their emotions they will only want to be in a relationship with someone who can relate with their strong emotions. They wouldn’t simply expose themselves to people who will crush them and break down their morale.

5. They don’t just get by

They love to involve and engage themselves in things they love. Average is not good enough for them. They want to find meaning and totality in the things they pursue. Through this they can feel validated and purposeful.

6. They empathize with others

They can relate with the emotions and feelings of others who are being hurt or facing down times. This will cause them to want to lend their support, well wishes and sympathies as far as it can make the other person feel better.

7. They are vivid

They are honest about their feelings. They don’t lie to themselves about how they feel. This is because they are self-aware and completely in tune with their emotions. Even when things are not clear to them, they would endeavour to go on that journey to finding and discovering who they are.

8. They can forgive

They don’t have any reason to hold grudges and close a door indefinitely to a relationship. They will apologize if they have to and will forgive if they have to. They know that alienating people or holding on to grudges could end up doing more harm than good.

9. They believe in themselves

They are optimistic in their strengths and abilities. They not only love and understand themselves, they are proud of who they are and what they are capable of. This is always good for their self-esteem.

10. They want to give back

They want to see a beautiful world. They know this is possible if they do play a part. They are always willing to play a role in improving the lots of others. Since they appreciate themselves and the world around them, this is not a difficult role for them to play.

11. They are not trying to seek attention

They are okay with who they are. Needing attention or looking for unnecessary recognition doesn’t serve them better because this can prove extremely selfish. They value themselves and know that they are worthy. They don’t need to get that validation from somewhere else in form of attention or recognition.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
