I'm doing alright. Having fun. Nothing special yet or permanent. But when it happens, you will be the first one to know. Pppppppfffffftttttt!!!

I'd be happier if I wasn't bored, which I am at this point. It goes beyond having a significant other, which bugs seeing as all of my friends are attached (meaning that I'm a third wheel constantly), and I love to cuddle. Teddy bears don't do the trick anymore.

A fave quote of mine when others mention self-boredom:

"It is a most mortifying reflection for a man to consider what he has done, compared to what he might have done."

So, get out and DO...BE...LIVE! Even if it is alone or as a third wheel. Rejoice.

Honestly, I'm very comfortable where I am with my life. My children are amazing and healthy, my career is prosperous and rewarding, my interpersonal relationships are thriving and nurturing. Yes, life is good.

I personally don't focus on my *love* relationship or lack thereof. I simply focus on me and my loved ones needs on a daily basis...if a beloved enters that picture to enhance what I alread have, then even better. If not, I am happy and grateful anyway.

I have been under a lot of stress lately, between my jobs and I think my dad has started a downhill spiral (I suspect he may have cancer and am waiting for the doctor to confirm or deny), so I have been pretty distracted.

I am trying to concentrate on things that make me happy like my beautiful grandkids, they are the joy of my life and live in my heart. I listen to music I like and that helps me too.

I am working very hard to correct things in my life that I am not happy with so that I will be happier, but it takes time.

I am working very hard on one major issue and hope to have it resolved in the next 6-9 months and that will make my world a lot better. Then maybe I can work on the lack of a relationship issue. First I have to deal with my other issues. Hopefully, at the end of this long road, things will start to fall into place.

dating is for the weak

Yes, i am happy with myself, but that doesnt attract other people to me. I think my say whatever attitude has something to do with that But i am really a nice Guy <<<The kiss of Death

Good morning Brian.
Being happy with yourself is best way to embark on a relationship, should it fail, you could then say that you have done your best.

hate dating
rather have the one right guy to get to know and explore things with
sometimes you see "couples" and think hmmm, why can't i find someone, but i am happy with my life right now and will always be
sometimes you have to go through the bad to get to the good

I have learned through my past mistakes in relationships that finding true love & committment is nothing but pure fantasy & reality is my life.
But from these bad choices & mistakes I have learned that I am lonely but not desperate.
I am not in a relationship. Have dated a few men from these dating sites have found all they are interested in is a friendship with "fringe" benefits.
I want much more than that. I hate coming home to an empty house, being a 3rd wheel when going out etc..
I have always done much better in my life when I am in a relationship. Guess it has to do with the nurturing & affectionate person I am.
I miss that.
I have really learned alot from these forums some make me laugh,cry and some piss me off. ha ha but all in all I enjoy reading them & getting to know everyone.
Thanks for being here for me!

Hey you are single now and you know what you want and how YOU DON'T WANT to be treated. So say you go on a few dates and you see the same patterns emerge DUMP HER and ASSESS yourself to see if you enabled the behavior.Allot of guys make the mistake of tolerating b!tchy chics that treat them like sh!t by what I call "Rewarding Bad Behavior" if she is being b!tchy and you buy her flowers you just "Rewarded Bad Behavior" and reinforced her position of thinking that her behavior is normal and OK.

I am happy with myself and happy being single again. The thing is I want to be more selective this time around and find someone I really click with on every level.
