1. When did Dr. Pepper become your favorite drink? It's been mine for ages. Have been making an effort to cut back the last several months though myself
Only been within the last 3 years. I had actually stopped drinking pop for 5 years. During that time mostly drank Powerade, (Mango was my fav. )Also drank alot of 'Peace' cold teas, water / flavoring in water
Then like 3 yrs ago someone had some ice cold Pepsi and I wanted that carbonated taste so bad. Ugh, I drank it and been addicted to pop since lol. It's a love/hate relationship
Can you make a mental connection with someone you never meet in person (i.e., someone you only talk online to)? If so, does it take a specific type of person to make this type of connection with?
Most definitely. I have made those connections. But only a few times in 3 years. It takes a certain combinations of ingredients I think?
Now, not all of those connections were in a romantic way. For example, one was a friendship that I made early on, one was with someone who I had the deepest conversations of life with. He was so very different from me. But a very intelligent man. Great at conversation, and it was easy to get lost in a 2 hr talk with him. Then another person was a friend that I came to care for over time.
But it's rare. Or rare for me anyways.
Firstly, I want to say it wasn't with people who I would have anticipated lol. Which made it all more interesting.
But it also required over time, of each of us, making ourself raw and vulnerable. Which is really difficult online. It requires certain trust, a certain feel of security that they will understand or not judge. A willingness to give and take.
I think another key part that drawn me to them was they could read me easily. In a profound way, sometimes which is unnerving
LOL
They were just able to watch me closely, listen closely, dissect and see me in ways that I didn't have to express. All my qualities and traits. And they didnt see my flaws. As much as, even in failure, they could see past that and only see what intentions I try to have. Which is huge. Because Im perfectly flawed!
And with 2 in particular that sorta became my rock to lean on. When things were fallin apart or I needed to release, I could go to them. I know what it's like to be that ear for others. And it's easy for me to vent to many. But to really express certain emotions, I struggle a lil more. And usually I have to see a certain strength in someone, for me to actually go to them with feelings. Which is maybe why strength is an attraction to me?
If you are more so curious of whether I have gotten attached to anyone from fcn. The answer is yes. I have caught feelings before. Just never dated and taken it into a serious relationship.
I don't say 'No or never' to the idea. But overall, I find this environment difficult and full of challenges. Its a huge leap of faith, I would never rush into. But who knows. Maybe one day, I might become domesticated LOL
