You are 100% right. It is fairly easy to find a beautiful woman in Philipines. Much more difficult to find the right woman. Sometimes the right woman may not be so beautiful. The right woman will get more beautiful every day.
Dan is THE MAN. Arguably, one of your finest videos, borne of deep, empirical experience that combines the wisdom of a life coach, travel guide, therapist, and more, saving your viewers $money$, heartache, and anxiety, while offering pragmatic, real world viable solutions and a life plan,success driven methodology for 18-80 year olds😄. Take a bow Dan, u knocked it outta the park. Best to your life partner Quiang Hui, surely a Malaysian & International beauty and treasure. Namaste. Live Long & Prosper.Hope to meet you both someday soon. Blessings and always be safe,phil🇺🇲👍🍀🙏
I agree that love will find you and it only happens at the right time when you least expect it. You have to be happy on your own first and with your own company first. When we are needy then it’s like putting your happiness on the hands of someone .
I met my Filipina on Mesenger. I wasn't looking for a GF & never met a Filipina before. If I wouldn't have met her, I would still be in the US. Eight MOS. later she picked me up at the A/P, that was 3 1/2 yrs. ago. She is from Bohol where I sent her to wait for me to get there. She hadn't lived with her family for 27 yrs. After a YR, we moved to Davao where her business is & her 5 grown daughters live.
My god Dan, You have a way with words. 'The stench of neediness keeps love a arms distance from you.' This is quite profound. Very powerful. Thank you.
Thank you Dan as I'm planning on moving to the Philippines to live there and can't wait to get there and think that is really useful information to have keep up the good job on the vlogs
Enjoy the journey. Sometime you have to love you self first before falling in love to another person. And yes its not only in the Philippines that you can find the love of your life. I say, know yourself first, your wants, your expectation, and your compromises.
Thank you brother. I have given this some thought. I started back traveling after being in Thailand for way longer than I thought I would. My thoughts have turned to letting myself slow down and maybe even finding that love, or letting love happen. "Chill out and enjoy life and let love find me."..... Great advise Dan.
I agree, finding a woman while being lonely is like going to a food court with an empty stomach, you’re likely to pick food from the first stall. Get settled in first, fall in love with the place and find the right girl to complement your life there.
Always like to rely on No. 1 me. I want to get settled in, get established first then branch out, if I dont like my surroundings then easily move around. Only after I feel comfortable will I seek a friend.
I advice the foreigners who marry filipina.marry a educated Filipina.not the one you pick up on the streets of prostitutes.many foreigner s chooses prostitutes.that is a big mistakes.foreigner will becomes walking ATM. The foreign should marry a educated Filipina for better future and she will save your money.
yes and "no"; i met a girl that owned a small mobile phone shop at the mall. sweetheart. wonderful ladies (so are thai) in every aspect. communication, elegance, sensuality, sexuality (yes, there is a difference). i had a condominium in Thailand in Pattaya. the best times. my thai g/f would keep is so clean the (slight) fragrance of clorox was an "aphrodisiac" for me. in the evening wear nothing but one of oversized t-shirts...amazing. i was in asia (working) from early 40s for ten years. i am 6'0" and in (very) good shape and humble as decent-looking "fella". unless it was money or a brad pitt; girls would indirectly communicate with me in the US. in PT and TH; at the mall girls come up and talk to you. some ask you out. one (in thailand) was a dentist. why? yes the attraction thing. they actually respect and admire the western (US) male. it dates "back" century's in a constructive manner and form. i did well, was a gentleman and had "some" decent funds. none of that applied in the US. none. arrogant, stupid and the world "revolves" around them (US women) and a "golden" attitude on "sex". little they know other nations have (adult) women also. and did i find out for the "better". ask many US women and "all" asian women are uneducated and "prostitutes"; so glad i left them and "that" mentality years ago.
Go for advice 4, stay single. Ha. It's tough to bring along someone on your travels. Most people, are just not into travel outside of the idea of a resort style vacation or a 5 star hotel. Most people have a complicated life with other life commitments. I go at things alone and meet women on the way or I'm comfortable with myself.
Thanks for the always wise and insightful tips Dan. These are my favorite types of videos that look at meeting good women in great places. Please do more!
Spot an assessment Dan. you are indeed a very wise man. I've been working in SE Asia for plus 26 years now and I agree wholeheartedly with you. guys best to see the woman in both good times and bad times. see if she has character, is a good person.
Hi Dan and Chung. Great video. I met my lolling on my second trip to Malaysia in 1996 and we hit it off. We are happily married. Great advice as many men get this backwards as I have seen in many videos where you and your lolling are. My mother in law lived in our house and she would get on my lolling and Chung will understand this: Poh Choo Ah and scold her. Loved mom. The kitchen belonged to mom and I bought her a new TV and she had her spot in the living room where she watched it. There is far more to this story and someday I will fill you and your lolling in. Ok La?
That is true😁everything will come on the right time but need to find first the right person, im a filipino & married to a filipino but we met in saudi arabia( we both working there in same hospital)Maybe bcoz we have the same in common we now living in ireland which is too far from our parents & siblings. Its a learning process everyday then you will know that you really meant for each other,( its that dramatic😂)we’re like a chopstick😃always together( at the monent its 23 yrs of full of adventure & crossing my finger will be forever😁) . Stay blessed from ireland.
Completely ACCURATE. Love ❤️ always finds you… We never find it… It cannot be manufactured… the ONLY thing I would add is to be acutely aware there is a VERY FINE LINE between love and lust.
Hi .I have been a subscriber for a few years now. You give great advice and one of the best. Your wife is beautifully and lovely, a great couple , thanks for your videos I'm sure guys really enjoy this advice it's true thanks
I really liked this video, excellent advice! This is one I will want to watch multiple times. I especially liked liked the advice on the first meeting, making it relaxing moment and not an interview.
Great video Great advice I plan to visit the Phillapinse next year for a month then for 6 months travel around to find my new home and hope to meet my girl there
"Just smile at people in the Philippines" sounds wonderful as advice. While it is still possible in rural areas of the West, particularly for women or older men, this would be hazardous advice to give out generallly to men in the West. People get pepper-sprayed for saying "good morning"! The more I hear, the more I want to be out there.
My thoughts also Douglas. It's getting way too feminist in the west with feminism gone too far. Just engaging in general light hearted chit chat with a stranger is becoming a needy & wrong thing to do. Things have changed hugely I the last 20yrs or so.
@@tman5634 oh, i have seen this since the mid 1960's ok and you are right ok, it has gotten really bad here in the US with how women are and act ok, me i will never date another American woman ok and because i find them way to rude and trashy ok hehe
Thanks for sharing. Great advices great tips. Love is tough when you are not in your 20. The rest you need to pay or no play. in your case you guys are blessed. Not too many people can just leave. Specially for the women, love without security is not for long term. God bless those are looking for love. Love equal time.
One of the best videos you’ve made! Sure to do well for you, I recently retired and plan on coming to Southeast Asia for the winter. Would be great to meet you in person. Any idea where you will be in December, January and February?
I’ve just opened your email while listening to this 😆 I will have a look for the book and get back to you 👍 good work on this video.. as I’m in this position of wondering how to get started and to find someone new 😍
I’ve left the Phil when I was 18, visited again in 2015 and found much fun and enjoyment and been going on vacation twice yearly in different places till the pandemic put a stop to it. I think it’s best to rent in different islands till you find a place to buy, if not, rent. Home will always be California
I definitely learned some things throughout my life don't just wait on someone to happen don't just wait on someone to come to you go find that person God helps those that helps Themselves.. If you want something you have to reach out and grab it with both arms. If you just sit around waiting for the person to come find you you'll die an old lonely man
Dan says it will just happen when you don't expect it. Yeah, well, he was in Tinder ... ! I have several woman friends with no initiative who just wait and wait.
An interesting topic that I haven’t seen done before. Many people meet online and gravitate to the area where the girl lives. I love meeting new people there, but the travelling around exploring is my passion and motivation. Once I get to know a girl better, I decide whether to take her travelling with me. Good tips re dating, thanks for sharing.
Place first. That way it already sets a precedent for the woman when she comes and visits. The home you've already established can tell a lot to a woman and if she likes it, she'll join your program.
Dan this was a great video. I would like to find my love first and then discus if she would be open to living in another part of the country. but I would definitely not want to take her out of the Philippines and to the USA in the beginning. Thanks.
I considered living there although from what I see its hot and muggy. I am in Mexico but actually miss my eBay and Amazon business as well. Totally agree with you advice. I do have an interest in asian women. Their energy is good from what I have experienced.
It’s not always hot. During the dry season or we call it summer here , the heat is bearable, unlike the one in Middle East and some parts of India. It’s like Thailand and Indonesia.
I have travelled to the Philippines a few times now. My priority overseas has been to explore as much as possible and visit as much as I can. I have met women in my travels and spend some time with them but they are not a priority in my life. I actually enjoy Thailand more than the Philippines.
I am not sure that there is a formula for this question. Most people have made the location choice by choosing a country. And most people have already decided whether they like the city or the country. Though in my case I spent my entire life in US suburbs and found big city life quite enjoyable. Underlying the original question is the Asian cultural reality of large close families. That is an aspect of traditional societies that challenges today’s westerners. People should take their time to reconcile their values with the values and traditions of their adopted country. Once you have done this then I think the right person will become apparent. I lived with my current Thai wife for nearly two years before asking her to marry me. I know I change my views and perspectives during those couple of years and she made some adjustments herself.
Dan: Looking 🕵️♀️ for a woman 20-26, who is a French chef, yoga instructor, certified masseuse, not over-weight (like most of America), no tattoos, not unstable (I know, that is a very ! "tall order"), and most importantly -- only speaks when spoken too. 😎 Otherwise, I will just continue to enjoy my: Peace, quiet, and freedom, and all my money will remain safe ! 😊 Remember: Marriage is the #1 cause of Divorce ! ⚠️
I have a permanent visa there. So its easy to go and stay there. I have been all over there. Love the place. Better than anywhere except maybe Malaysia (English speaking) or some parts of Thailand (lots of English). But as here (Australia) seems I find it hard to meet women that I am interested in. Not interested in pubs clubs and malls. In fact if they like alcohol (I do - double standard) I freak out. I do like your comments and its a great video. But still. fnding one without children, and given the tradition of family support (fair enough) it does make it hard.
Hi Dan, I totaly agree what you are saying. You are a lucky one who has fou d the right partner to enjoy life together. Without that travel would be just half that fun. Regards to both if you
Lot's of opportunities in SE Asia for men. Why settle for just one? Travel around, enjoy different women as you go. Stay free and you will be much happier.
IMO, if you find a good woman in the midst of your exploration it will expand your possibilities. And Filipina women are very adaptable to tastes and personality. So it’s not like western women who will change everything, it’s more an enhancement to yourself 😉
Even if you find one who is willing to live where you want to live she will still have a strong magnet pulling her to her home and family. You may find yourself spending more of your own time there than you had originally counted on. Therefore, having a girlfriend from a nice and interesting area is worth considering. I know it doesn't sound very romantic. Sorry.
Trying not to be judgemental here... you are giving some good advice here...just so that making the choice to live in the Philippines as a priority to have sex isn't uppermost....as we know, the Philippines is sadly one of the centers for human trafficking....additionally, embracing the Filipino culture will be important, and this includes being close to the family of your partner. I used to live in Greece for some years, and likewise full participation in family life is essential. (Having very few family members of my own, I very much appreciate the support system provided by my partner's extensive family...this is one of the principal reasons for deciding to live in the Philippines, rather than considering ending up in some senior home in the USA).. I would suggest that if a person is not prepared to do this, then they may become unhappy and unfulfilled. Keep up the good work!
Before watching this: I find that so many youtubes' content about the Philippines to be related to a woman, a girl, sex.... Many people travel to many other places and the same tags are not associated as it is with the Philippines; but it comes up as an inextricable component in many youtubers' content.
Philippines is different in that it draws men who want to retire someplace tropical, inexpensive, English-speaking, and find a mate. While Philippine women are attracted to these men who support them and treat them well. Successful matchups are common, so there are videos about this place.
I would find my paradise first and let love find me. I have an inner bell that rings when I find love, I know within days if the person is the one for me. Don't be desperate and take a woman you don't know. Be romantic, date them get to know them but don't force it. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
You can find a good woman anywhere. Find the place where you will be happy then the place. I moved to a place for a woman once. I didn't like the place and when the relationship ended I had to move because I didn't like the place I lived.
Enjoyed the great scenes of the city. Can you share the stereotyping of the South east Asian countries among fellow travellers?? Since you wife is Malaysian Start with Malaysia!!
If you are in your 60s and want to meet a young girls in their 20s, always remember, they want to be with you as long as you have the money. For these girls, survival and better lives for them and their family take precedence. They want you to fall for them so that they can extract as much money from you.
I think people know the general concept. Rick old guy or poor young guy. But if they can get a rich beautiful young guy that treats them well that is best of all. Aren't men guilty of the same sort of thing just different wants?
@@VagabondAwake If a guy had a chance with a young rich beautiful girl in America, he would not travel to Philippines to meet one? Why would he risk the language, and cultural barrier if he can really find love in his own country? I know some will try to find girl near their own age but the vast majority of them will try to find a young poor girls because they are more willing. And the vast majority of them are willing because it a better lives for her and her family.
My Hands down goal is to FIND a place to live first. I'm not a fan of on-line dating. I like close and personal contact as it's far easier to size up a women and her intentions. I'm amazed at expats who say they found "TRUE LOVE" on-line without ever meeting the women in-person. It just seems A$$ backwards to me. Take a month vacation and MEET a women in-person FIRST, then if you want LDR at least you can say you met her! LOL
And as a Filipina, please don't find your right woman in bars or clubs. Online dating is okay, but most who date online are not educated enough. Get to know the culture first and make friends with the locals. Surely, they have a good friend they can recommend. Choose high-quality friends, though.
Desperate times means desperate people. Always keep your head on a swivel. Me thinks.... if fuel prices continue to rise even in the Philippines. This will create desperation
There are thousands of uncharted shallows, sandbars, and corral heads throughout the Phillipines. In addition, be advised of the amount of large floating debris in the water like trees, pieces of houses, and coconuts. AND, if that doesn't deter you then watch out for thousands of fishing nets and long lines that get entangled in your prop. Other than that, yes, you can cruise the Philippines but don't ever leave you boat unattended at anchor and stay north of the northern coast of Mindanao.
@@michaelmcnair1880 I've been thinking of touring by boat, so thank you for this advice. If you have a pointer to more information you would recommend, please post a link. Never leaving the boat sounds like a bummer, as I have the idea that I'd want to travel to different islands, moor and tour.
Dan, I am one of your subscribers and pay the $9 monthly to get whatever is on your site and I have not used it very much yet but I'm getting closer to using it more but I definitely have enjoyed your videos. you and your girlfriend are great video hosts. Thanks a lot. Don Johnson
yah, "you" really can't control who you fall in love with, but that really sucks. I accidentally & unintentionally fell in love with someone and she "friend zoned" me, she still occupies my thoughts nearly all day and my heart still hurts.
Suggest you replace your thoughts with new activities, side job, trips, giving time for those feelings to cobweb. Maybe even move to a new place, meet some new friends, and not women yet. Regrets for what could have been will turn her into an irreplaceable goddess in your mind, it can narrow your focus, and retard your growth. Get out there and grow!
@@luntian1 yes that's true and I can find many as hot or hotter than her, but none will have the same personality, thought processes, voice, smile, etc. but yes, I need to stop fawning over/about her. I had fallen hard for her entire package and it's very hard not to think about her, I basically "imprinted" to/on her like a new born duckling does its mother.

Another great video Dan. Anyone seeking a partner overseas should watch this video first !
Great stuff!
Great video and advice...I just returned from a month in Thailand...met 6 beautiful women, but 2 of them had foreigner boyfriends.

Good advice. I will be in Manila on Dec 29th. I need to decide where I want to live first.
Thats a great advise Dan

Solid advice Dan, sort your life out first.
I definitely learned some things throughout my life don't just wait on someone to happen don't just wait on someone to come to you go find that person God helps those that helps Themselves.. If you want something you have to reach out and grab it with both arms.
If you just sit around waiting for the person to come find you you'll die an old lonely man
Dan says it will just happen when you don't expect it. Yeah, well, he was in Tinder ... !
I have several woman friends with no initiative who just wait and wait.
We coming to retire OK the place first most definitely having a woman is two much like work we coming to enjoy life not complicate it
An interesting topic that I haven’t seen done before. Many people meet online and gravitate to the area where the girl lives.

looking at the place its like heaven man
Great video Sir !
Same here in canada my philipina and I have been married for 30 + years and still hold hands when we are out just like two teenagers
While in manila you should check eastwood city in libis...another nice location
BOTH provinces FILIPINA ESPECIALLY
Great topic and good advice Dan! You should start a side business (dating website based on the slow traveler lifestyle) :)
I considered living there although from what I see its hot and muggy. I am in Mexico but actually miss my eBay and Amazon business as well. Totally agree with you advice. I do have an interest in asian women. Their energy is good from what I have experienced.
It’s not always hot. During the dry season or we call it summer here , the heat is bearable, unlike the one in Middle East and some parts of India. It’s like Thailand and Indonesia.
I have travelled to the Philippines a few times now. My priority overseas has been to explore as much as possible and visit as much as I can. I have met women in my travels and spend some time with them but they are not a priority in my life. I actually enjoy Thailand more than the Philippines.
Very thoughtful content
I am not sure that there is a formula for this question. Most people have made the location choice by choosing a country. And most people have already decided whether they like the city or the country. Though in my case I spent my entire life in US suburbs and found big city life quite enjoyable. Underlying the original question is the Asian cultural reality of large close families. That is an aspect of traditional societies that challenges today’s westerners. People should take their time to reconcile their values with the values and traditions of their adopted country. Once you have done this then I think the right person will become apparent. I lived with my current Thai wife for nearly two years before asking her to marry me. I know I change my views and perspectives during those couple of years and she made some adjustments herself.
Find yourself first explores the world enjoy life then find a places where you will be happy then later on let’ loves find you
Dan: Looking 🕵️♀️ for a woman 20-26, who is a French chef, yoga instructor, certified masseuse, not over-weight (like most of America), no tattoos, not unstable (I know, that is a very ! "tall order"), and most importantly -- only speaks when spoken too. 😎 Otherwise, I will just continue to enjoy my: Peace, quiet, and freedom, and all my money will remain safe ! 😊 Remember: Marriage is the #1 cause of Divorce ! ⚠️
good tips. you should become a relationship councilor. happily divorced and loving it
@@ulrichwenzel82 👍😂
I have a permanent visa there. So its easy to go and stay there. I have been all over there. Love the place. Better than anywhere except maybe Malaysia (English speaking) or some parts of Thailand (lots of English). But as here (Australia) seems I find it hard to meet women that I am interested in. Not interested in pubs clubs and malls. In fact if they like alcohol (I do - double standard) I freak out. I do like your comments and its a great video. But still. fnding one without children, and given the tradition of family support (fair enough) it does make it hard.
I believe I kind of discovered where you filmed this one: Palawan........The Clinic gave it away, also the beach
That hillside town on the bay looks cool.
Hi Dan, I totaly agree what you are saying. You are a lucky one who has fou d the right partner to enjoy life together. Without that travel would be just half that fun. Regards to both if you
Lot's of opportunities in SE Asia for men. Why settle for just one? Travel around, enjoy different women as you go. Stay free and you will be much happier.
All depends on what you are looking for.
IMO, if you find a good woman in the midst of your exploration it will expand your possibilities. And Filipina women are very adaptable to tastes and personality. So it’s not like western women who will change everything, it’s more an enhancement to yourself 😉
Even if you find one who is willing to live where you want to live she will still have a strong magnet pulling her to her home and family. You may find yourself spending more of your own time there than you had originally counted on. Therefore, having a girlfriend from a nice and interesting area is worth considering. I know it doesn't sound very romantic. Sorry.
Either one first, you can take the lady wherever you want.

Your topic. So right
“The stench of neediness…,” he hehe
no woman, no cry~
Trying not to be judgemental here... you are giving some good advice here...just so that making the choice to live in the Philippines as a priority to have sex isn't uppermost....as we know, the Philippines is sadly one of the centers for human trafficking....additionally, embracing the Filipino culture will be important, and this includes being close to the family of your partner. I used to live in Greece for some years, and likewise full participation in family life is essential. (Having very few family members of my own, I very much appreciate the support system provided by my partner's extensive family...this is one of the principal reasons for deciding to live in the Philippines, rather than considering ending up in some senior home in the USA).. I would suggest that if a person is not prepared to do this, then they may become unhappy and unfulfilled. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your thoughts.
Dan, you nailed it!
Hi Dan and Q. Where was this one filmed?
Before watching this: I find that so many youtubes' content about the Philippines to be related to a woman, a girl, sex.... Many people travel to many other places and the same tags are not associated as it is with the Philippines; but it comes up as an inextricable component in many youtubers' content.
Philippines is different in that it draws men who want to retire someplace tropical, inexpensive, English-speaking, and find a mate. While Philippine women are attracted to these men who support them and treat them well. Successful matchups are common, so there are videos about this place.
Well said Formica.
I would find my paradise first and let love find me. I have an inner bell that rings when I find love, I know within days if the person is the one for me. Don't be desperate and take a woman you don't know. Be romantic, date them get to know them but don't force it. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
You can find a good woman anywhere. Find the place where you will be happy then the place. I moved to a place for a woman once. I didn't like the place and when the relationship ended I had to move because I didn't like the place I lived.
Enjoyed the great scenes of the city.
Can you share the stereotyping of the South east Asian countries among fellow travellers??
Since you wife is Malaysian
Start with Malaysia!!
I cover that here: ua-cam.com/video/ja1_tCP9TFo/v-deo.html
If you are in your 60s and want to meet a young girls in their 20s, always remember, they want to be with you as long as you have the money. For these girls, survival and better lives for them and their family take precedence. They want you to fall for them so that they can extract as much money from you.
I think people know the general concept. Rick old guy or poor young guy. But if they can get a rich beautiful young guy that treats them well that is best of all. Aren't men guilty of the same sort of thing just different wants?
@@VagabondAwake If a guy had a chance with a young rich beautiful girl in America, he would not travel to Philippines to meet one? Why would he risk the language, and cultural barrier if he can really find love in his own country? I know some will try to find girl near their own age but the vast majority of them will try to find a young poor girls because they are more willing. And the vast majority of them are willing because it a better lives for her and her family.
If a man is 60 years trying to marry a 20 years old girl. He need to get touch with reality, it is not love.
My Hands down goal is to FIND a place to live first. I'm not a fan of on-line dating. I like close and personal contact as it's far easier to size up a women and her intentions. I'm amazed at expats who say they found "TRUE LOVE" on-line without ever meeting the women in-person. It just seems A$$ backwards to me. Take a month vacation and MEET a women in-person FIRST, then if you want LDR at least you can say you met her! LOL
And as a Filipina, please don't find your right woman in bars or clubs. Online dating is okay, but most who date online are not educated enough. Get to know the culture first and make friends with the locals. Surely, they have a good friend they can recommend. Choose high-quality friends, though.
There is only one way to do it find your place, build yourself a network of friends when someone comes along then share your world with them.
great advice....
Can yachts cruise the Philippines independently or are there too many pirates still?
Desperate times means desperate people. Always keep your head on a swivel.
Me thinks.... if fuel prices continue to rise even in the Philippines.
This will create desperation
There are thousands of uncharted shallows, sandbars, and corral heads throughout the Phillipines. In addition, be advised of the amount of large floating debris in the water like trees, pieces of houses, and coconuts. AND, if that doesn't deter you then watch out for thousands of fishing nets and long lines that get entangled in your prop. Other than that, yes, you can cruise the Philippines but don't ever leave you boat unattended at anchor and stay north of the northern coast of Mindanao.
@@michaelmcnair1880 coconuts? I wouldn’t be sailing my paper boat around there mate.
@@michaelmcnair1880 I've been thinking of touring by boat, so thank you for this advice. If you have a pointer to more information you would recommend, please post a link.
Never leaving the boat sounds like a bummer, as I have the idea that I'd want to travel to different islands, moor and tour.

Dan, I am one of your subscribers and pay the $9 monthly to get whatever is on your site and I have not used it very much yet but I'm getting closer to using it more but I definitely have enjoyed your videos. you and your girlfriend are great video hosts. Thanks a lot. Don Johnson
Awesome, thank you!
Where was this video shot?
All over the Philippines!
Good point. Place first. I fell in love with a woman in Manila. I hate Manila
I AM LOOKING FOR 'ADVENTURE'.
yah, "you" really can't control who you fall in love with, but that really sucks. I accidentally & unintentionally fell in love with someone and she "friend zoned" me, she still occupies my thoughts nearly all day and my heart still hurts.
Suggest you replace your thoughts with new activities, side job, trips, giving time for those feelings to cobweb. Maybe even move to a new place, meet some new friends, and not women yet. Regrets for what could have been will turn her into an irreplaceable goddess in your mind, it can narrow your focus, and retard your growth. Get out there and grow!
move on.the saying is true - there are many fishes in the ocean.
@@luntian1 yes that's true and I can find many as hot or hotter than her, but none will have the same personality, thought processes, voice, smile, etc. but yes, I need to stop fawning over/about her. I had fallen hard for her entire package and it's very hard not to think about her, I basically "imprinted" to/on her like a new born duckling does its mother.
