How many folks believed in fairy Tale romance and life... you know, "Happily ever After kinda stuff? Now a tougher question, who still believes it can still happen?

I still believe in happily ever after and see no reason why it can't happen. The biggest difference is now my Knight in Shining Armor is an older model and might have a few dings but it gives him character and what better way to live happily ever after than with a real character!!!

I absolutely believe in it. Without a doubt.

People often ask me if I believe in true love. Of course I do! True love lives in my heart it’s just waiting for someone to accept it.

Will I ever find her?

That’s another story.

I believe that 4-leaf clovers exist too, but I don’t find very many of them either. Believing in something and finding it are two entirely different things.

The magic is in the find.

I used to believe that the Internet would make it easier. The reason I believed this is because I felt that it would give me the chance to get into the living room of my potential soulmate. I’m using the term “soulmate” here to simply to mean a compatible woman who also has true love in her heart.

I’m attracted to the homebody type of plain-Jane, even tomboyish, who is typically shy and doesn’t socialize a lot. This is why I felt the Internet would be a great way to meet her since she isn’t likely to be found out socializing.

Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to work that way. Maybe the shy homebody types who don’t socialize much don’t even bother socializing on the Internet? Who knows?

Mostly what I see on the Internet are women who are accustom to the 9-5 rat-race lifestyle, usually with kids and families that they are involved with. I thought I might find more of a loner like myself. Rare, like the 4-leaf clover, but still out there,… somewhere.

Who knows, maybe I’ll still bump into her before I die. Maybe we’ll meet our on death beds in a nursing home just long enough to say goodbye to each other before passing over into the great beyond. laugh

At least I believe she’s out there. Got to give me credit for that much. :bigwink:

I don't believe in fairy tale relationships, I do believe there will be adjustments and efforts made on both sides. We're older and more set in our ways. I am willing to work towards that happiness though.

Hopefully you don't have to wait until your death bed to meet "the one". I met my soul mate and due to illness lost him.Only regret was not enough time together.brokenheart

I think the reason people get so disappointed in their real-life relationships is because they were looking for a prince or a princess and discovered their partner was a mere human.

I have no such illusions. I want a real person with flaws and a past and, hell, even baggage. The magic is in finding something beautiful in the midst of the mundane.

Just out of curiousity - how do these women pay their bills? If I could be a homebody and still put food on the table and keep a roof overhead, I would. Single women don't have a lot of options.

I don't think it will be that easy to find someone like that. But then, it isn't easy to find someone like anything.:smile:

I don't think that having a job would disqualify someone as being a homebody. I worked most of my life, and spent vast amounts of time working overtime and on weekends. Yet I still consider myself to be a homebody.

Doing the things a person needs to do in this world to survive certainly doesn't define who they are.

I was just talking about a woman who would prefer to be at home when she has the choice.

That's the only criteria for homebody,...

as opposed to being a social butterfly. :wink:

Also, it doesn't mean never wanting to go out ever.

It just means that she can be happy at home and not always b*tching because she'd rather be out running around. laugh

oh - I know the type..I always make plans with people out of a sense of social obligation and then when the time comes, I never want to go.

I guess that makes me a homebody but I never thought of it that way because I don't get to spend nearly as much time at home as I would like - the old work demon.

I'm 53 and I would really like to believe in happily ever after; not just in love but in life. But, I realize that's not reality. There has to be good and bad -- balance; that's part of life.
I lost my job in January and I'm having a hard time finding another one here in New York.:cry: Life is real scary at the moment with the economy going the way it is. I try very hard to stay positive, but sometimes I just can't.

Fairy tales happen because we make 'em happen. Put the Lord in the middle of your relationship and in charge and make sure you're as compatible as possible and in agreement on major items like money, what to spend on bills (heat, phone, elec. water, cars, etc), buying used or new, church or JP wedding, etc. etc. etc. and the fairy tale can happen, but if you're basing things solely on physical attraction and the rush of feelings that come with sleeping with someone, it's a relationship doomed from the start. You gotta be able to commit and commit big time and it's a covenant as much as a marriage, and then, you got a chance, I think.

Just my two cents worth for a nickle.
