In love and life, are you a risk taker? Or do you like to play it safe?
I take quite a few risks.
I think it’s because I grew up in a strict household, so I wanted some excitement. 🤷🏻♀️

When I was younger I I was more of a risk taker and didn’t really have a care in the world , I just lived life the best I could , But as I got older I kind of settled down and became more content , I like to say I become more wise lol and like to think I learned a lot from the mistakes I made and the heart breaks I went through , , I am grateful and amazed that I am still here on Earth considering all the shit I been through , through the years, I experienced a lot of things that made me realize that life is fragile and to not really take it for granted , I knownI am not perfect , I still have my wild side but not as wild as I use to be , I know I have calmed down a lot compared to when I was younger lol Losing loved ones and having my heart broken from Girl’s I gave my heart to made me realize life is to short to play games , I try to stay out of drama as much as possible and distance myself from people that are negative, I value love and relationships more even though I still have a question mark on my head if true love really exists, and I have walls up to protect myself from being shit on , so it takes me longer to completely give myself to someone , considering the girl’s that have came into my life all have been nuts and selfish people , so finding a girl that values love and relationships and knows how to remove selfishness has been hard to find. I just go with the flow and give what I want to receive , For me to get married again is going to take her climbing a lot of walls , part of me feels I am set in my ways because I already been there and done it , , so marriage really isn’t a priority to me , I can’t make babies anymore, my kids are already pretty much grown , so for me to start over , Is definitely not on the top of my bucket list , I am at a point where I just want to travel and experience things I have never experienced , Be with a girl that wants to spoil me like I will spoil her, My girlfriend now is so back and fourth so I don’t know what is going to happen there , but I am just going with the flow , All I can really do until my time is up on Earth
Repeated hard blows and losses have hardened me. I take fewer risks, and am quicker to hit the exit than I used to be. I used to give girls a lot more benefit of the doubt, and every possible chance to come around, before I abandoned all prospect of them completely. Now, if she's a bitch a few too many times, I don't even hesitate to walk away.
The me of 20 years ago would have spent twice as much money on that one "Camilla" (assuming she wasn't just a bot) at UDates, and tried to explain to her why disregarding my family wasn't okay.
But the minute she became that dismissive of my family earlier this year, when I started talking to her, and got nasty about not allowing me to prove to them that she wasn't a bot, I not only ditched her; I immediately deleted my UDates account! (I pissed off a lot of women on that site, and a lot of bots, because I left the site before they collected any commission, as they never got me to spend even so much as one dime on talking to them!)
The me of 20 years ago was constantly getting backstabbed, then trying to reach out with an olive branch. The me of today would've ghosted those same ratchets in half as much time!
If there were even a whiff in the air of suspicion I had a crush on someone in the past, some third party came down on me like I was some sort of predator. I spent a whole bunch of time begging to know where this nonsense was coming from, why it was necessary to confront and accuse me in such a manner, and pleading for a peaceful solution - only to be subjected to even worse lying and abuse!
If someone tried that today, I'd be MUCH more confrontational!
=========
Past me, 2006: "Say, is K****** there? I invited her and her family to the fireworks with my family, and I wanted to confirm if they'd still be able to make it or not. If not, that's fine, I'll make other plans."
Campus ministry center minister: "I know you want her for a girlfriend..."
Past me: "Well, I wouldn't mind; but that really isn't the purpose of my call..."
Minister: "You need to stay away from her."
Past me: "Any... particular reason? What happened? Is she okay?"
Minister: "You seem to have some sort of problem!"
Past me: "What? I literally did nothing except invite her family to the fireworks. Where is this coming from?"
Minister: "I don't seem to think you're a good fit for the domestic end of campus ministry..."
Past me: "What are you even talking about? I made that whole website. You're still gonna implement it, right? Since this is more current, and the previous campus minister is in Africa now?"
Minister: "You need to stay away from K******."
Past me: "That's grossly unfair, but so be it."
=====
Me today: "Hello? Is the K*** family there? I'm calling to confirm if they are still going to make it to the fireworks with my family. If not, I'll make other plans."
Minister: "You need to stay away from K******. I know you want her for a girlfriend."
Me today: "Excuse me?"
Minister: "You need to stay away from her."
Me today: "I called about the FIREWORKS! You are NOT going to threaten me over the phone! And how I feel about anyone privately is not your concern! I've threatened NO ONE!"
Minister: "You seem to have some sort of problem!"
Me today: "Unqualified hacks pretending to be psychologists to me over the phone! Yes! That is a problem! With a very easy solution!!!"
*CLICK*
Me today (thinking to myself): "And there goes your center's brand spanking new website, right down the flush, asshole! And you didn't even pay me for my services rendered in making it; so it's not like you can complain either!
Did he do this on his own? Did she tell him to do this? Doesn't matter! She's sure as heck not dating me now!"
One of my current coworkers warns me not to let myself be ruled by vengeance on the inside. But at the same time, I'm a little tired of being expected to eat everyone's crap.
It really depends on what you consider taking a risk.
For a lot of people riding a motorcycle is taking a risk. Or, investing money is taking a risk. So, in those cases I'd be a risk taker.
For me, jumping out of a plane or free climbing a mountain is taking a risk. Both of which I haven't done.
So, in that case I'd be a play it safe kind of person.
The point of view is very important.
I have no idea what I'd even be considered love wise. 😅459 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I really don't care what it is I take risk I like the excitement of that I want to know the outcome of that I want to take life to the biggest extreme ever because I need to experience what that feels like that's why we're all on this planet is to experience it to the max if you notice since day one growing up when you first started walking you experienced something so you started running you experience something you started sprinting faster because you experienced something is the same thing with life we just keep experiencing to the highest level we possibly can and we take that with us when we pass life is a beautiful experience and we must all game and get the best out of it to learn to become the best one with the universe we are all energy and that's what we all are is one with the universe

I take calculated risks. Such as high risk high reward situations, I usually bet on myself, pull through, and enjoy the reward. However, if it’s just high risk with little reward (e. g. standing on top of things with a high risk of falling to your death, all for a selfie) I would rather play it safe and not participate.
I suppose that makes an intentional and responsible risk-taker. 😂 741 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Risk taker for my first move, I’m jumping in, all in, living for the day, full on YOLO, no f! cks given— then if / once it’s reciprocated, I pull back reflexively, and never really snap back. I’m the perpetually breaking rubber band 👀 😬 😂 🤦🏻♀️
488 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I'm a fan of calculated risks.
Meaning I have no problem taking risks as long as I know what I'm getting into and the reward is worth it.
Also it helps to have mitigation plans in case a risk does occure.
But since often things move too fast for that I learned to just accept the risks and go with it when I actually want something.1.3K opinions shared on Relationships topic. I am not the one who initiates so not really in that regard. But if it's been initiated by them, I am willing to go Bonnie and Clyde with them at moment notice which of course is maximum risk lol. Or a more minor example is risking myself been with someone who I know is impulsive and will probably hurt me.

I really don't know, mam. Till this point of my life, I have been just majorly following instructions given by parents only.
Get good marks in 10th? Done.
Get into IIT? Not done.
But get in a reputed college for placement? Done for college, not till now for placement. Preparing for that.
From one point, everything is already settled for me. But from the other, I would need to start from zero onwards.

I take risks for the mere fact I wanna see if one of these days I won’t come back alive
lmfao jk jk 🙅♀️😂
I’d say calculated all the way 80/20
risk/safe ratios

With life, I usually play it safe unless the potential downsides aren't too bad. With Love, I'm definitely more of a risk taker. If I like you, you will know.
