[QUOTE]Originally posted by Undead: [QB] Personally I have never had an internet relationship. I have plenty of online friends but I have never wanted to start a romance with them. TO ME, the fantasy is just as applicable in a real face-to-face relationship. In the beginning it is the same as the fantasy internet relationship, with adoring words etc. but add to it gifts, trips to shopping, theater, dancing and more. This is why I said earlier that the fantasy could continue if not for insecurity. I personally don't see why this behaviour has to end. It only ends when people either run out of money, have small children (and then it doesn't need to end, only be reduced significantly) or when the people start to take eachother for granted and stop treating eachother specially. If a man feels he is being taken for granted or given bad attitude about things he will naturally not feel like using his hard earned money on someone who does not appreciate him. Then the woman will feel like he doesn't think she is special anymore and treat him even worse because she is now feeling taken for granted as well. Both will also wonder why it is happening, and instead of looking at their own behaviour they will blame other factors. Insecurity sets in here as people aren't accurately analysing what has transpired and are instead wondering why things have mysteriously changed. Their minds dig up the most horrible situations and it drives them crazy. Even when discussing problems some couple simply ignore what the other person is saying because they ahve convinced themselves it must be another man/woman that is stealing their loves heart away. THIS IS ONLY FROM WHAT I HAVE WITNESSED! I am not saying it is a general rule. The relationships I have witnessed have never had finances be a negative factor, but according to statistics it is the number one reason why relationships fail. My friends with wealth were never running out of money, and my friends without wealth never started relationships with women who were materialistic. Anyway, insecurities that destroy relationships are prevalent the world over but in my experience people are more sensitive and insecure when it comes to romance in Egypt than in most countries. Just my experience, again. I do not have any acquaintance with people in the tourist industry so others experience will probably differ, but the typical Egyptian wears his or her heart on the sleeve so to speak. People are thinking about marriage from day one of spotting someone they fancy, and their minds and hearts run with it. In my own life I have had several times girls I have not even spoke directly have gotten quite upset at my lack of interest in them. Several to the point of tears. This has never happened to me in any of the countries I have lived in other than Egypt. My male friends in Egypt also get very upset about women they have only been in the company of a few times. Not as dramatic as the females I have witnessed, but far more emotional than what I have seen abroad. Anyone else see this? People have told me since I was a child that I "think rather than feel" and thus my heart has been shielded from the ache that most people have when admiring another. So, my views are of course coloured by my experiences and what I have witnessed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
