What fools they were. They should have taken your wallet instead.

I have spent quite a bit of time working on me since my last failed relationships. So now that I am okay with me as I am, I find the "need" to find someone isn't really there any more.

I would love to have someone that we fit together well in all areas and can comfortably spend time together but if it doesn't happen then I won't be bothered by that either.

I joined the Canadian Navy. Even being shot at in Hatai was better than being in a relationship. At least there you know who the enemy is.

I am who I am,,and I KNOW I'm a good guy and a good man for life for the right woman...But after five years here and many trials,,
Truly,,I am JUST HERE,,,,,,,,,,,

I'VE NEVER REALLY LOOKED FOR LOVE,,,
AS I always felt, IT would just find ME!

NOW,,,I just pass through these rooms,,with echo's of memories once shared on here in THAT room,with a someone,,who is no longer on here
As WE think and believe that (THIS ONES PERFECT FOR US),,The one who probably TRULY was,,,,has found them another ONE!
BLINK,,and miss a LIFE,,,STARE and have IT FADE AWAY,,
GLANCE--------------AND NEVER REALLY KNOW!

TRY------and TRY AGAIN,,,and again,,and again,,and again...
And THEN,,,,have your own internal thoughts telling YOU, your no better than the ONES everyone calls,,A PLAYER!

BECAUSE ALL THAT YOU HAVE MET------were......

So HERE is my LIFE,,,,over-played, under-played, betrayed and LAID!

And to me,,,THIS IS NOT what I came here for,,or wanted to find.

Ah sometimes its okay to lose your sanity. Helps you cope with life.

Well i think in General people look for that perfect person they have in their mind and heart and when people start to realize that no 1 is perfect and accepts people for them selfs in general speaking and not always look at flaws of a person they thinking about dating then they will meet that special someone till then i think more and more people will be a lone and time will pass and it will be to late then:) myself i not a fussy guy if a lady is sweet and has a good heart that is good enough for me well of courses she must be honest too :) to many look at looks all the time and how much money a person has and if they good shape and if they got a car and so on instead of the heart sad but true have a great day all :)

I think the saying is there is no perfect person; only the person that is perfect for you. That perfection is going to come with flaws and one must accept it. However at my age; I realize that there is no one there for me and I am just kidding myself. No one wants me at my age and can't say I blame them. So I accept that and will live life knowing that. Though others may find it sad and give the pity crap; I find a great peace in accepting that I will go on and enjoy my life solo. I have done it most of my life so its not like its a big shock to the system.

I TRULY THINK,,,lol,I might have figued out WHY,,old folks dig younger folks,,,ITS BECAUSE THEIR INEXPERIENCED TO LIFE'S MANY DRAMA'S they HAVEN'T LIVED OUT YET???
THEIR NOT LOOKING INTO US AS TO TRY AND SEE MORE,,,LIKE IN BAD WAYS!

Because as we ALL age and pass through all of the torments that LOVE, or LOVING SOMEONE can put us through,,,we may not know-it our-selves inside our heads,,but WE BECOME MORE,,
NOTICE EVERY DETAIL of FREAKING EVERYTHING,,,,lol,,,
what word that person USED,,,the sentence that they said. THAT FUNNY WAY THEY HOLD THEIR HEAD WHEN TALKING,,
And so on and so on,,,so WE BECOME(not all of us)VERY JUDGEMENTAL in what NEVER WAS RALLY EVEN A THOUGHT TO US,,when we were younger...
IT'S ALL OUR STRUGGLES we have went through or been put through that enables us,,(our thinkiing) to over SEE,,or SHADOW another memory of what their pain was---we see THAT IN THEM....
I have lived to try and never do this? But I know I have ,,and I thinkMANY do THIS VERY MUCH,,,from their inner fears..
I was having a conversation n the phone once with a lady from here,,AS I was pool-side and drinking a beer,,,SHE sumerized THAT as IMIGHT HAVE a drinking problem?
I was having another conversation by phone that same with ANOTHER lady and when I said shi-t,,over something I spilled,,SHE clasified me as I get UPSIT QUICKLY?
I have had MANY conversations on here through THIS SAME type of issues talked about AS THEY HAPPENED,,and to THEM ALL,,,THIS EXPLAINS THEM..

So, have you given any thought to dating someone younger? If you think this may solve your dilema; give it a shot. What have you got to lose?

Here's where I am...

I have one soulmate. That is my daughter. I take the term "soulmate" very seriously. She has a piece of my soul that gave her life, therefore, she is the one meant for me. No man can fill that spot. Any future children will also be deemed my soulmates.

As far as finding the "true love", "Mr. Right" or "love of my life", meh. I don't believe true love is instantaneous. It is EARNED. It takes a lifetime to earn true love.

Mr Right? There is no such man. If the man is "right" for you, there will be passionate arguments, love, and a life together. NO PERFECT COUPLE is without it's flaws. Arguing is natural. It is two different people coming together with opposing ideas and hashing it out to find a common ground or a compromise. Abuse is not.

Love of my life is a term for my children. How am I to know if the man I am with will be there for the rest of my life? Every day is one day at a time. But my children are forever. I love my daughter with all my heart, no questions asked. She is pretty much the only person in my life that has my unconditional love.

My towel is thrown----Hmpphhhhfff! That is it. I am so over it. I am so over you---boys----

So you say this or that and how you never met anyone like me...so I am unique, so pretty and yet---

Where the FUdgE are you when I need you! Too much for a girl to have worry, too much for a girl to have confidence...too much for a girl to want back... And yet you all ask the same thing, how can someone like you be single? U dont understand. Apparently u do...now perhaps you can answer the same question you asked me? Why am I single..

The same excuses that draw you in are the same ones that chase you away.

Confidence. Beauty. Uniqueness.

and trying to find it will give you purpose

ok, i just picked up my towel, hahaha, he just called.

Not throwing in the towel..Not giving up.

I don't see me throwing in the towel on a concept that I have found can be a pretty great way to live (was very happily married at one point in my life) but not standing around wringing the the towel and crying how terrible my life is single. When it happens it will happen. Doesn't mean I can not spend some effort to be out in the world meeting nice people and enjoying good company? Nope just not going to be obsessed with it.

I concur; nothing wrong with meeting new friends.
