You are so right! I don’t have a girlfriend in this writing moment, but I am seeing someone. It’s very new, but I am having high hopes. I have always been a firm believer, of what you so brilliantly put it here, but finding that one you click with (as Tom said) and/or be best friends with her as well (as Cheryl very well states). Good luck to both of you!

Totally know what you mean, Debtkid. You know what is my boyfriend and my favorite restaurant? BBQ at Lincoln Park in West Seattle. Best darn dinner view in the city, in my opinion!

Addenum: Having no, or few money is no excuse to being cheap. When you be cheap, you make other’s services and goods cheap, and in the end you end up feeling cheap yourself. Being cheap, you find yourself descending to a lower plane of spiritual being, because what you throw out onto the world comes back at you with mathematical precision.

Respect money, and you’ll become a money magnet.

=> Money can’t buy happiness. The “happiness” that you get from that 52″ plasma TV is transient. The TV becomes boring a few months later.
=> Money can’t buy love. Love isn’t what you receive. What you throw out onto the world comes back at you with mathematical precision.
=> If a woman changes her behavior after seeing how fat your wallet is… Run fast away from her!
=> You can’t measure and compare two different men on the basis of money. Fortunes are transient. They come and go. Two men are different on the basis of the spiritual plane that their heart currently resides in. And the lowest spiritual plane is being materialistic. Small men chase after money. Higher men go after satisfaction and fulfillment.
=> Money buys short-lived comfort. You cannot put a price on developing fantastic relationships and fulfillment in life.

So true! It’s not about *what* (stuff) you have, but *who* you have in your life.

Yep : ). We have been best friends the last few years, and something just changed in me late last year and I started seeing her in a different light. It's fantastic. Funny how everyone on my blog thought we should date and it took me forever to figure that out! Actually, the timing is more right now. It would have been much more difficult say a year ago.

It sounds like you've known your now gf a long time. Is she your former best friend turned into your gf? I'm curious about her.

I think it is about finding someone who has a similar personality as yours. I have been with partners that just wanted to go out all the time and spend money instead of staying in or doing something outdoors that doesnt cost much or any money.
