my heart skipped a beat and internet dating

[goddessliss]

Hi all,

My third post in as many days as I continue my search for true love through internet dating!
So I was shown interest from several but 2 in particular got my attention and we started emailing but they didn't really 'rock my boat' so to speak but then I got a msge showing interest from someone else and when I clicked on his photo my heart literally skipped a beat I'm sure and it made me realise I was settling for less than I shld be so.....
I asked if my connection with the xxxx wld blossom into romance and I am aghast to say I got 23.4.6>16 although Enthusiasm sounds good to me. what going on with this contradiction?????

thks from one wanting to find true love again

I can see 23.6 as the illusive quality of romance, something you can't quite reach, nor completely get your head around.

Line 4 gets itself pretty wound up at a cost.

I think the realization of actual romantic love (as with xxxx) requires a lot of work, a lot of stripping of old ways, a lot of change. The real and fantasy get blurred in 16. You can attempt to sort that out psychologically or just go where it takes you.

bon voyage!

First, as i understand it, when you connected with the new person, your thinking that you were settling for too little referred to the first two guys you were corresponding with. And xxxx refers to the new guy who caused your heart to skip a beat. Right?

For whatever it's worth, when I get 23, I believe it usually refers to ME. Something in my attitude or in my emotion is splitting me apart. I have interpreted it to mean that I may be too fixated on something or too intense. In my past experience, when my heart would "skip a beat" on meeting someone for the first time (never mind on just seeing a picture and hearing from someone via email), I've experienced an emotion based on something internal, not based on the person, who of course I couldn't know in a short time.

Here the disaster affects not only the resting place but even the occupant. No
warning or other comment is added. Misfortune has reached its peak: it can
no longer be warded off.


While I don't think I'm very good at interpreting readings of people I'm not close to, I believe the "disaster" is not the potential relationship itself, but your attitude, which will make it difficult to evaluate xxxx. Perhaps continue to communicate or even meet xxxx, wait for the initial excitement to wear off, then ask the I Ching again.

Thku Bostonian,,

this definitely makes a lot of sense, it has helped me a lot.

I believe it is not always the people closest to you that can help but even one word from a stranger that makes sense can help you sort something out.

have a fun day
