Words of Yasemin

Bravo Yasemin :) this is very reasonable voice in whole discussion. I am new on this blog , from a remote country of Eastern Europe , but women here face exactly the same issues :)

Love , love and only love ... i really don't know how and when the theme of having partner became kind of crucial theme in women's life, became most important critirion of self-esteem .
All we - single women , we have to be very aware of it , develope love for ourselves , and self-respect . Then all those fake behaviours will be so clear !
Another "myth" that seems to mislead us is a statement that "love can overcome all the obstacles " .
At what costs ? Are we really able to pay it ? i passed through so many affairs , when i've been told it , while the cost was extreme , and i had to pay it . Never again !

I am woman , i am the gentle one - it wont be me anymore to run for a man , i won't take a trip of 3000 km or more to hear sweet gelly words !
For some weeks now i've been chatting to muslim man from Egypt. Very quickly he fell into style of "my sweet baby" . I try to imagine european man speaking like this to me after 2 weeks of acquaintance :D without any encouragement from my side ... i don't think i could stand it :D he is really sweet ,well educated , seems open minded , never fails any test (;)), never falls into traps that i put between lines ;) . And i don;t hear sweet words often , but is it a reason to tune my life to him ?
Sorry, not me :)

Sometimes i also imagine , that there is my good friend in my shoes . What would i advise her ? The answer is usually very clear :) wishing to every woman good luck , hot heart but cool mind ;)
Joan
