I feel the same way Lex I would rather sit here alone with my dog and the computer then to have someone around that I'm not compatible with and I get bored with in a matter of days.

I may be alone but I'm not lonely I can find things to do and places to go by myself. Sure I would appreciate having someone else to go do things with and one that would enhance my life. But I don't need anyone just to say I'm with someone. I have been single for many years and will remain that way before I settle for someone that don't appeal to me and one that I'm willing to give my all to.

I guess maybe it all boils down to priorities. As much as I would love to have someone around to spend time with, to go places with, to talk with and have fun with, the fact remains that, unless she has a certain amount of intellect and creativity, I'm going to fall into a narcoleptic coma pretty quickly.

I will admit to being alone AND lonely, at this point -- living in a place where you don't know anyone, and where the people aren't particularly friendly, can do that -- but it's still better than what I remember about being married.
