There are ALWAYS ways to communicate. All human beings need to connect with one another. Read Robinson Crusoe. Or, if you’re lazy, watch the movie, Castaway. If there is no one with whom to connect, we’ll invent someone. Or imbue an animal or plant with human characteristics and then relate to that. Everyone wants some kind of companionship. The effort to communicate is almost always worth the price. The moral of the story is, if you are open to new experiences, you will be far more likely to find fulfillment. (and that does apply across the board)

Don’t judge too harshly too quickly; don’t read too much into the little things; keep trying to communicate until it happens.

Getting close?

‘everything is possible, if you can find the fun in it’

probably not what you were looking for, but it sure works for me!

[...] In my last post I presented an important point you should know before asking someone on a date. It is a story of a couple who met at a seminar. The woman spoke French and the man spoke English. I asked you if you could figure out the moral of the story. Most missed the nuance I had hoped to communicate. [...]

I see the moral of this story as: Don’t Let Things Stand in the Way of What You Want. If the guy had given up when he realized that they couldn’t communicate easily then he never would have gotten to the ‘happily ever after’ part.

The moral is to hope when you use a lame line like “hi beautiful, where have you been all my life” the recipient won’t understand it.

I’d say the moral is learn to communicate with each other – all great relationships are built on good communication skills. Without them you’ll never get to know the other person properly and there’s a good chance there will be plenty of misunderstandings!

For me the moral of the story is that she has to be interested in you first. If the guy wants her but she doesn’t want the guy dating is pointless. As for the “happily ever after”, i doubt you can truly meet a person that you want to spend your life with in 2 months. It sure happens but hurrying love also leads to awful marriages and painful divorce stories (nearly 50% of the time if I’m not wrong).
