“We’ve gotten into somewhat serious waters. That’s good. Sometimes a serious discussion is good for us.
When having a serious discussion, we need to realize that emotions will sometimes run higher. As much as possible, we need to make allowances for those emotions. Someone may say something that sounds harsh, but taking a time for a deep breath and the willingness to consider that the person may not have meant anything mean can save us a great deal of bad feelings. Likewise, the discussion may not seem as fun as we’d like. Let’s try to make allowances for the fact that things won’t always be perfectly fun when we are discussing something serious.
As much as possible, let’s try to be careful what we say when we are in the grip of emotions.”
3 for 3...
OTOH, that would be “SERIES”...8^)

Hey! How are you doing?
I’m getting along. How about you? Didn’t you go recently to see someone’s baby? If so, how was that?
How late is a late not for the singles thread posters? BTW I have flag envy for ILOVEW’s SC banner. My Alabama flag is just not as cool.
No, I didn’t get to see my nephew. Yet. My mom is going for the entire month of June and, if I don’t have a job, I’m going with her. I did see new pictures though. He gets cuter every day. :)
I appreciate your thoughts on the topic. I can accept a woman having things she doesn't want to discuss. Particularly in the early part of a relationship, I expect that there will be places that she doesn't want to go. However, when she tells me something, it needs to be the truth.
The issue does leave open the possibility for a little nuance. If you aren't interested in a man, how far do you feel you need to go in being completely honest with him about why you aren't interested? In the case mentioned earlier, a guy was just a little too active with his eyes. Would you mention that fact specifically as a reason why you weren't interested in starting a relationship or would you leave it at "I'm just not interested?" To be equal, what if a guy is not interested in a woman because she has children or for some similar reason? Should he tell her that he's not interested in that relationship because she has kids, or should he not be that specific? Is refusing to be specific the same as being less than truthful? What if she presses him for a reason after he initially didn't get specific?
