I find it interesting how the years go by, and this forum keeps on mutating. When I first joined here, there were very few new posts appearing on the Discussion Forum. Now the place is flooded with new people, learning the ways of the Don Juan.

As this happens, us older DJs keep moving on with our lives, continually making improvements and changes in our lives, I'm no exception.

One month ago today (May 4, 2003) My girlfriend proposed to me. I saw it coming, and therefore had some time to think about it. Life is full of risks. You either take them or leave them. You have to examine the consequenses of either one, and decide if it's worth the risk.

I'm taking the risk. I said "Yes".

Just to let you know, I didn't do it under pressure, I did it because I'm willing to take this risk, and because it actually does feel right. Have I lost my mind? Hell no.

The wedding is more than a year away. We've already done some planning, and spent some money on the preparations. However, I'm not diving into this being blinded by my emotions. Her IL is still higher than mine is. This doesn't mean that I don't love her, it means that I'm going into this with my head on straight.

When it comes down to this subject, the definition of IL kinda goes down the tubes for a Don Juan. A better way of wording this would be "Displayment of Emotion". I don't tell her I love her every fvcking minute of the day, I say it when it's appropriate, or when I wish to catch her off guard which keeps things slightly unpredictable and exciting - a necessity in a LTR.

I'm also not marrying this woman just because she's a damn hottie. All the things I've preached on this forum I've put fully into practice. I came up with a list of what I want and don't want in a woman long before I met her. This woman has come along, and met my picky criteria in an ideal woman. So for those of you who doubt, it does happen. If any of you are wondering if I love her, I do. I just don't let it control me.

I'll tell all of you right now, this is my final shot at marriage. I've tried going this route once before, and things ended up being a mess. This time I have a plan B. I know for damn sure I'll be able to deal with any losses or tragedies that occur if this should not work out. I'm willing to take the risk, and I know what can come about if this doesn't work. I may end up starting from scratch, but I've done it before, and I'm still alive.

To my knowledge, I am one of the two DJs here who have taken this step (Panzergrenadier is the other). I'm hoping to be able to bring forth new knowledge to this message board dealing with the experiences from taking this risk.

Even though a wedding is in sight, I haven't let go of any of my future goals, they're all still on schedule. I'm also continuing with my self-improvement, and I keep learning lots about myself. My autobiography is still in the works in case any of you are wondering.

In case any of you are wondering, the wedding date is June 25, 2004 :)

Woah.

Congratulations, Bungo.

I still can't get over the "My girlfriend proposed to me."

That's great.

Wow, congratulations Bungo.

Here's some words of wisdom on marriage for you to either think about, or choke on over your breakfast, depending on your point of view..

bp1974


On Marriage

Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?"

And he answered saying:

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

- From "The Prophet", by Khalil Gibran

Congratulations !!!

Hey Man,

Wish you all the very best in life and may your "Ponies" start DJing from the age 1 . :)D

Marriage is decided in Heaven and celebrated on Earth !!

Cheers !!
 

Peace and Quiet

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

Nooooooo! Don't go towards the light!!!!

Just kidding. Congratulations, man. I am sure it great to find someone whom you can share so many years with and grow together.

I have a cousin who was one of the biggest DJs I knew several years back. He and I would hang out all the time. He was not only a very sociable and out-going person but he would approach almost any nice looking woman on the street. Many times he would meet women and would be literally screwing them several hours later. I still, until this day, have not seen another man pull off some of the things he used to with women. He came on very strong but it still worked for him.

Well, he just called me last weekend miserable. He is now in approaching his mid 30s and he is scared that he will not find a soulmate/wife. Women don't come as easy and he told me flat out that he is "scared."


So DJs, it is cool to have fun and enjoy these years and the women that comes along with them but recognize when the right woman comes along.

He should name his kid "Don" - that's code that we can all understand subtly ;)

Hey Congratulations Bungo Pony! I'm sure I can speak for many in saying that your posts are some of the most knowledgable and helpful around. I always learn something when I read your posts including this one! You seem to have reached a Don Juan point of zen or something lol. Even with marraige on the horizon you are remaining level headed, focused and calm. I can't even maintain this attitude all the time with just a girlfriend lol.

Hey Bungo Pony,

Congrats.

Not trying to flame but attempting to spark some meaningful dialog. I don't know anyone who is married that is faithful to their woman. A couple old guys but all the guys my age cheat. Do you think you will be faithful forever? I mean is this the last woman you will ever lay with? My problem is I cant see myself ever not desriring other women. I love sex waaayy too much. I love sex with new women, I am probably almost in the addiction stage but the question is still valid.

The other question is that most of the guys I know who get married after 30 are tired of the game. They get married to be a little more stable. they get tired of being the older guy in the club. Is that you?

Thanx guys! I didn't think this was going to go over too well here. Just a little more background, I knew when she was buying the ring. She was looking at Jewelry in the mall, and she asked me to go to HMV to see if they had a DVD. I knew she was buying the ring :)

That's not me at all. I'm 25. The thing is the dating scene does get boring after a while. I always kept the mindset of "Dating is a way to pass time until I find an ideal woman", and I stuck to that. I don't believe in soulmates, or "the perfect one", but I do believe in the ideal woman.

Okay, but what if I have a girl? Maybe "Dawn", or how about "Rules girl", "Attention Wh0re", "Sunshine Girl", or "Flaky"?

stop and think about it

Hi after reading about your marriage proposal something stikes me as there is something wrong here.Haven said all that I know you planned your wedding a year from now and that might be enough time to relize the problem that i see.This girl proposed to you but still has ex hubby or boyfreind come around for light dutys or whatever she calls them.I dont know about you, but thats a stop sign if there ever was one.I mean whats going happen when your married and short of cash,will she do chores for him to make money.Hopefully you get my drift of what im saying.I got it right away and hopefully the year you have ,it will sink in this may not be the girl for you.Yes i know you said you were sure this was the right girl for you after been very picky and particular.When you meet somebody and there still seeing the ex or talking about the ex its time to hit the road.You know the saying where theres smoke theres fire.Please buddy dont get burned.I mean the excuse she gave has to be one of the lamest i have ever heard.The question is why didnt she just ask you for money ,for you know what,think about it.You did say you are attending school and working so you must have cash,unless you dont.Put on a pair of shoes and run run.

Oh man.... I want to say 'Congrats, I'm happy for you!' but... marriage... oye. /ILHM starts to break out in cold sweats and gets the shakes all over. :(

I'm not one for marriage, but if this is what you want then... 'Congrats Bungo, I'm happy for you!'


/whispers 'Don't do it.'

Hi vegasguy!

Yes, I'm quite aware of the possibilities because of this AFC. The situation has been dealt with and has gone back to her continuously blowing him off. I'll tell you how I view this situation.

This AFC is not a threat to our relationship. He's trying desperately to be her friend (and looking for pity). He's continually apologizing for pissing her off. Unfortunately, he doesn't get the message to leave her the fvck alone. We aren't living together yet, but if this AFC is still around when we do move in together, it'll then become my issue as well, and I will deal with him personally. Until then, if it's not in my house, it's not really my issue. However, if my fiance does something that I don't agree with caused by his continuous begging and whining, then my fiance's at fault for giving into him and I have to deal with her.

One thing I've discovered about being a DJ is that you need to keep your relationship under control (without being controlling), as well as yourself.
