Hello Everyone by criskris

Can a man and a woman be JUST friends?
Wow this discussion is still going. The Loner: From the sound of it, attitude can repel women and men alike ;) and of course closed-mindedness are not a good thing to have either. You kept repeating that mantra over and over again about women, it ... Read More

True Love by Kelly_74
We often hear about 'True Love'..What is 'True Love'? How do we know the characteristics of 'True Love'?
I guess whenever I hear 'True Love' I always assume it's of the romantic kind/peppered with romantic notions. Saying 'True Love' is usually similar to saying there's 'soulmate', which I personally don't believe in one bit. :P So to me, 'Love' is a ... Read More
