People who test instead of talk?


Recommended Posts

You know logo it's hard to give you any more specific advice than I have because you rarely share any specific details. You talk in a vague general sense and often refuse to get any more in depth.

 

If you want to go into a little more detail about exactly what happened, how this person was being manipulative, maybe we can help you more. But until then that's all I have for you. People in life and relationships will test you. Get strong or get out.

Believe it or not, most people avoid confrontation and most problems start as a result of a misunderstanding. Therein lies your answer.

 

Confrontation is an aggressive stance which rarely leads to positive outcomes. Discussing is a far better approach and is likely to result in less misunderstanding.

It’s also unfortunate when a person writes off another after one misunderstanding.

 

What "misunderstanding"?

I meant that in general. Sometimes with OLD when you match with someone and they're getting to know you, one clean and polite joke gets taken the wrong way and they're gone. Maybe it's all about matching with the right person who gets your sense of humor. Maybe it's about keeping it all formal until you meet, at least.

I think I see where you're going with this and I'll suggest you don't make jokes early in the dating process. It's probably your delivery.

Norm,

 

My comment about OLD was separate from the original post. It was a side comment in response to Inspire’s post.

 

A moderator edited one of my posts on another thread and I got a private message about violating rules due to my quoting a post immediately above mine so I’ve been refraining from doing so and that in turn led to a misunderstanding on this very thread. Ironic, I know.

 

I agree with what you wrote in your post above. Thanks.
