The more I think about things I think I am better off single....now I just have to find time for myself....rofl

No really what bothers me is that people don't even want to take the time to get to know you....so how in the world will they know if they ever want to make time further in life for you if they can't even take the time to get to know you in the begging....

We always can make time for what is TRULY important to us.


I agree...flowerforyou but in this "me, me, me" society do people really have those priorities set? Do we know what's important any more?
I find there are alot of people on here with their "my way or the highway" attitude. Especially with the distance thing......


This is so true.....oh my life is so busy I can't even send you an email.....but yet I can chat up a storm on here...

Gayle Sayers use to talk of a quote he saw, "My God is First, my friends are second, and I am third." Think we have turned that around...or worse yet we have let ourselves be trained to put ourselves first. Don't get me wrong. One does need to take care of themselves. But in a relationship...people need to talk and adjust to each others needs, wants, and desires. JMO

You know maybe this is my problem...I try and put the people that I care about or want to get to know ahead of me....maybe I should put myself first and the heck with everyone else...

Thanks to the OP for this topic -- it's been comforting to read that there are others who share the same thoughts and feelings about what it takes to make love work. It can be disheartening to hear the same excuses over and over and over, but the comments of the posters here have restored my faith just a little ... so to all of you - and to finding love, despite the obstacles! drinker

You couldn't be self-absorbed and cold like that if you tried ... I can tell by your comments here that you have a great heart - don't change a thing! :smile:

No, you have it right. Finding someone who will do the same is what's hard! I do what you do, despite a busy schedule and lots of demands on my time. It may not always be returned, but the truth is that I wouldn't know how ~ or want to ~ love any other way. Besides, that special time together only encourages and energizes me to accomplish the things I need to do...cause I'm happy!! That's the "me, me, me" side we should focus on...cause you always get alot back when you let love in.

I know....I'm a sap!! LOL laugh flowerforyou (COME ON, GYPSY! What's one more thing on the "TO DO" list?)

I find that people who are too set in their ways and unwilling to change even the little things.......end up being alone. Idk.....maybe subconsiously they like it that way.....no heartbreak.huh

No you're not a sap....I am just like you....when I am with someone I try and get everything done as fast as I can cause that frees up more time to spend with that special someone...I am not saying being up each others butt and I know that the time apart makes the time together mean more...

But it doesn't seem that people want someone with a great heart...

Subconsious...or safe? I think it's more the later, and it's highly overrated!

I hear a lot of men here say that they want a relationship but they actually dont. They want their exact life but with some sumpin sumpin on the side.

True but there are some men on here that don't want sumpin sumpin on the side....me being one of them....I want a shared life with each other having their me time....plus I like my sumpin sumpin on top...

Change can be scary. We all have our comfort zone. But then fear can also be dangerous. We often try to avoid it in relationships and then wonder, "how come I am alone???" Or we mask our fear by throwing ourselves into our work or hobbies.

LOL...that has been my experience too! Nothing wrong with the "sumpin, sumpin," but it can be so, so much more! Funny how there's always time for the sex....

Too many men who have lived alone for a long time cant handle having anyone, much less a woman, around. Professional bachelors I call them.......my ex hubby was one of them.noway
