Horrors of Dating: Karma
Do you ever hear of those urban relationship myths that talk about couples who get together while one of them was already in a relationship? They will be destined for failure because there has to be some retribution for the way they hooked up! I don’t know if that is because of some cosmic force or if it’s simply because the wrong people are getting in relationships.
Do you believe in dating karma? I have to admit, if I am sitting through some horrendous date being tortured by bad attitudes or boring men, I wonder if it’s payback. Did I do something in my dating past that is coming back to haunt me now? Who knows if karma really exists or if it is just our way of trying to make sense of things.
Have you ever made a dating mistake or committed some romantic crime that would result in some bad karma?
Do you think we should ever try to make amends and apologize to the ones we did wrong? Not only to ensure that karma loses our address, but to let the other person know we regretted it?
What about break up karma? Do you think leading someone on, pulling a disappearing act, or the jedi mind tricks comes back around?
Happy Friday!
I will be sharing some information about Halloween weekend parties, feel free to let us know of all the hot spots that you know about too!

Now, karma can be fun to speculate about in colloquial terms, but it’s strictly a Buddhist and Hindu belief that one can bring results upon themselves, and/or as a way to reach Brahman. Karma as a concept is counter to Christian beliefs.
You don’t get bad dates because you’ve been a bad date. You would get a bad date because you are a bad date, or because they are.

Great topic. I so agree that there is dating Karma the same goes for women and men that want to creep with married or people in committed relationship – you will always find your self in misery, single by the karma energy you put out into the universe.

Morning folks!
My relationship karma is old news – got caught up with a married dude, finally got out of that one and the next dude I fell for was married – except that one lied. First one I knew about, thought I’d redeemed myself for that relationship atrocity and then got caught up with another. But that was in years past… since then, I’ve been pretty good to the menfolk and I’ve been blessed with a pretty good man myself.
Ms. Main – don’t feel bad. My Star Wars knowledge is similar to yours and I have NO plans to try to learn more.

Never got into Halloween – well not after I got too old to go trick-or-treating. I’m so glad I won’t be home tomorrow night because I would pull my hair out if my bell rang every few minutes with a bunch of kids on my stoop.
But I’m not a total scrooge, I plan to place a big bucket of candy on my stoop. Don’t care if the first kid takes all the candy, just as long as they leave my bucket.

Luck and Karma are excuses people use for their poor judgement cause they are GOOD PEOPLE so it can’t be their fault. It must be God or karma the reason bad things keep happening to them.

@Dream_n ~ are you wearing fishnet stockings. You’re a brave soul. I was asked to go home last year cuz my flapper dress was too short! If I showed up in a chamber maid costume, no doubt I’d be given a “pink slip” with my personal escort to my car!
