anitaParticipantDear Going Through Life:
You are welcome, GTL.
There is way more to what’s for you to experience in life than SS’s input.
There’s much more for you to learn and experience in your young life than what you happened to known so far.
Don’t limit yourself to what was; think of what can be.
Work on what you need to heal from, to learn, and reap the rewards of what you learn.
I sure hope I am making sense..?

GoingThroughLifeParticipantDear Anita,
What all is there to experience friend if you have to go through it alone without a partner? I feel scared of not having a partner I like
I know there is much more to experience, it makes me feel scared and excited, of what lies ahead.
How do you think of what can be friend? To think you also deserve happiness for being yourself even if have your down moments.
I guess i am learning on how to handle conflicts and being alone, i have grown very dependant on my friends, I am grateful i have a good friend circle, including you dear Anita.
Yes, you are making sense friend.What i have also realised that i need to control my feeling of lust, some people are able to find a partner to fulfill it like SS did, as i dont have a choice, i should learn how to control it or better be okay to live with that feeling.
Hoping to hear from you friend and about your day.
Your friend

anitaParticipantDear Going Through Life Friend:
Somehow I missed your recent message. I would have answered earlier.
“I have grown very dependent on my friends… including you dear Anita.”- like a song I know says: we are People who Need People. That’s our nature. W are born that way. We can’t help it.. and we shouldn’t try.
Practically, how can you meet a potential romantic partner, GTL? Online dating perhaps? It could be like an interviewing process for you, communicating online with different women, investigating compatibility of goals, values.. before meeting anyone in-person. What do you think?
The 🌞 is shining her, unusually.. I will probably be out and about in an hour or so.

GoingThroughLifeParticipantDear Anita
I’m glad to hear you are having nice sunny day today, I hope you enjoy it.
Yes, very true, I met with one of my childhood friend yesterday night and he listened to me peacefully and gave me some advice too.
The country I live in, here online dating is very hard. Women my age in online dating prefer going for superficial things like looks more without digging deeper. Real life interactions happens mostly through mutuals. I have installed some applications, talking to a few, let’s see. I’m not hoping or expecting anything. I met SS through a mutual friend.
Hoping to hear from you soon friend

GoingThroughLifeParticipantDear Anita
Yeah, you’re right. Well that’s what SS said to me, and maybe yes most women have that intention too, still dating here is very hard due to the cons of modern dating. No one wants to put in the hard work or except something less.

anitaParticipantHmm…GTL: I want to understand better.. What are your real-life options in regard to finding a love-partner- where you’re at, at this time? (will be back to the computer in about 10 hours)

GoingThroughLifeParticipantDear Anita
I don’t know to be true. Dating here is mostly through mutuals, or in college/school setup. Dating apps may work but that needs effort from both sides. One may try to join hobby clubs but that requires significant time investment. Arrange marriages are still a big thing, and that has really ruined modern dating also.
Hoping to hear more about your wonderful day today friend.

anitaParticipantDear Going Through Life:
It thrills me to know that on the other side of the world, a real-life GTL submitted a post for me.. exactly 8 minutes ago 🙂
My day so far has been, as usual, being in front of the computer, here in the forums.
So Love Marriage vs Arranged Marriage- is it up to you, your choice?
My point is, you desire a loving relationship, and I am wondering if you can take a more active role in making it happen..

GoingThroughLifeParticipantDear Anita
Good morning to you, haha it does seem quite unique, it’s fun I’m talking to someone so far away but still so close.
Thank you for your contribution to the forums each and every day friend.
Yes, I have taken steps, I have made some new friends, I’m planning to ask my friends to set me up with someone not now but sometimes later, I have made a profile on a dating app and I’m actively trying. I still pray to god and I still take action for whatever I pray for, things won’t just fall into my lap.
Hoping to hear about your evening there friend.

anitaParticipantThank you, GTL. Taking some steps is proactive, my friend. Keep that going!
My evening.. so dark here, dark before 5 pm. Lots of people here go south for the winter.. SO DARK AND COLD (fingers frozen, every afternoon). Well, that’s my evening.. fingers warmer, being that there’s enough firewood in the fireplace, for now

Thank you. Yes, winters are quite tough but interesting. I have trying to write poetry and always trying to find some inspiration and some good vocabulary in Urdu. Winters feel like the season of poetry.
Hoping to listen more from you.

GoingThroughLifeParticipantDear Anita
I hope you’re well. I’m glad to hear that, I’ll definitely share with you. I’m writing this while in a bus travelling to Rishikesh for my first ever solo trip. SS and me planned to go here, but this place has been calling me for some time, so I thought why not solo.
If I can I’ll share photos of that place with you, as much as I have got to know you, i know you’ll love it.
Hoping to hear from you soon friend.
