Do you love the girl? If yes, then do you want to spend the rest of your life with her, have a family, grow old together? If yes, then you go for it and work towards your now common goals.
Not everything in a relationship is some weird power-play and if you find yourself in a relationship where you are thinking about who has more power or about needing to make power-plays, then you're in the wrong relationship.
Except your overlooking the fact that I was right. She has clearly stated that she wants him to be more dominant.
The fact that I treat my relationships like games is moot, the fact is, in those relationships, I wan nothing from those women long term.
Your assuming that I am single because my relationships have failed because of bad play on my part when that is not true. My relationships fail because I plan for them to fail. I haven't wanted a marriage. I told BEG when I first moved to Indy that are relationship would only last 2 years and I was right.
Just because I don want forever and live my life to ensure that, doesn't mean my advice is wrong. I've gotten what I wanted out of my relationships.
I consider that a success. There is a reason why I have been able to have **** buddies for longer than average marriages.
