I design systems and write software to help children learn how to learn.
A few words about love. Love is feeling when to give and knowing how to receive. Infatuation; the state of being carried away by an unreasonable passion, is what we experiment when our brain dumped chemicals in our blood. It is not love but a trick invented by Nature to make sure that the human specie reproduces and survives. So to those looking for sparks and chemistry, I am not your guy.
When we were very young, love was given to us. Later in life, we had to find it. But now, it has to be cultivated like a pearl and this starts with a decision, not with infatuation. It starts with the decision to establish an emotional communication. If such a communication can not be established as soon as possible, the whole thing will turn into a virtual party where at best we will only make friends and will all be here next year looking for the same thing in the same way. A way that was unsuccessful. The more we do of what we have done, the more we will get of what we already have. So we have to decide to adapt or accept to fail. It is with words that one builds or destroys a relationship. I think that the aim of any relationship is to be productive. Happiness is what you experience when you contemplate the work that you have done together.
Especially here on Internet, a picture will turn heads one way or the other but a picture is not a person. Although a picture is a snapshot of reality, it nevertheless always contains a lie. Words however, even when meant to deceive, will always eventually reveal the truth. So please, do not offer or ask for more pictures. Instead focus on establishing an emotional connection through meaningful words.
Same culture relationships are at best difficult to maintain. Different culture relationships are even more difficult to maintain. So unless a person has demonstrated through correspondence skills like maturity, communication, and non-argumentative problem-solving, there is no hope. According to me the reasons why relationships can not be healthily maintain are: 1) not hearing what is said (not reading what is written) 2) hearing what is not said (reading what is not written) 3) going to infatuating means of communication like phone and Skype before an affectionate communication has been established and healthy relationship skills have been demonstrated.
I would love to start a language school either in my new wife country, in mine, or better, in both of our countries.
