I am new here as of yesterday.
I have lots of time to ponder the same things over and over in my mind and am looking for some insight to this age old question.
Some background on me.
I have been widowed for four years. I have 2 children. I have been in a few relationships in my life time do not do one night stands, have morals and my daughter tells me that I am too picky. This is why I do not have someone. I tell her I know what I am looking for and am not willing to waste my time on those that do not measure up.I am careful with my heart and have seen enough sorrow to last a lifetime. When someone who measures up and is willing to show me his world and him mine only then will it amount to something more then words can say and there will be something to base my feelings on. I had someone whom I loved more then any other in my life, but I was cheated on by death. This does in no way mean I have a disease, it means I need someone who understands and can be mature enough to help me through and feel happiness again.
I am wondering if there are others that have been through the same thing as myself who can relate. I do not see this as I am comparing the next person in my life with my last Love of my life. I just wonder if it does exists? If you do get that second chance at true Love or is it always dull in comparison? Can it be better the second time around?

I dunno about the second chance. But I wish you all the best

i don't blame you for sticking to your guns..it's why i am single..lol

and why not? you seem lovely..why can't you have another chance? you are still here, aren't ya?

good luck in your search

I'm widowed as well. The first thing that I would recommend is give yourself a break when you make or don't make a mistake in moving forward. Your in a special place in the way that you view things that maybe diferent than others.

It's hard but you can make it.

welcome

I don't blame you one bit for holding out for the right one. Yes, I believe in 2nd chances. I refuse to believe that out of the the 6 billion people on this planet... there's only ONE that was right for me.

There's always a second chance !!! I think it's a 3rd chance that's gonna maka a final decision on love, friendship, etc. Keep your head up !!! Like Tesla's songs title: Love will find a way ...

I believe in a second chance.

I think love can happen the second time around, just be who you are and stick to your guns and I am sure you will find true love again.

There is a widow/widower thread on here for those who have shared your experience...
the rest of us just suck at the dating game.

I believe you can. When you stop believing, you close your heart to at least the possibility.
Welcome to Mingle2 and Good Luck!

Im on the like 700th chance here. seriously.. if you keep moving you will progress. You are alive, now go live life.

' Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in destiny?

True love may come
Only once in a thousand lifetimes '

Depends on if you believe this is your lifetime to find it.

dunno haven't looked again

I have and never found it. That is why I think I should move to Scotland. We can keep each other company, be best of friends and have lots of fun!

this is a fantabulous idea Tami

New here? Your profile is over 2 and a half years old!

There is always a second chance, if you allow it. There is not just a ONE, there are many ones, its just a matter of finding them. Which is easier said than done.

I have had two GREAT ideas in a row

I have fallen in love completely & madly two times in my life...I also happen to believe that the 3rd time's a charm...

Love can strike at anytime
