I believe, I want to find Love...
I want to Believe I'll take a chance if Offered...
I believe it will & can happen if I could just allow it...
For now I believe, Until it's there though...
I just have to believe it will be.

The hardest issue I have with that right now is distance.
I guess you could say ie put all my love into raising my girls right now and there is no way I would have the time nor money to maintain a LDR.

To actually fall in love?


This question is mainly posed at the old timers here. Though, anyone is free to answer.

Can you let go of your fear and just love like what you want to recieve?

Can you put aside the heart ache of failed attempts?

Do you got the balls to stand up to the plate again and risk striking out when you want a Homerun?

It took me three years before I had the courage to just say "Screw it! Let's fall in love"

I am so grateful that I took the chance and despite odds or distance, I found what everyone here is searching for.....love.

Do you really plan on saying "F**kit...I do love you"?

If not, no biggie cause I know that some of my very best friends are here.... But ask yourself this simple question....DO YOU WANT TO FALL IN LOVE? I am talking about the patience, work, compromise, empathy. Cause I know alot of people here can't see past thier past or thier ideals. I used to be one of them.

Just curious....

Will you honestly give love a fighting shot or do you resist it. (I know the answer before I ask the question so, if I have talked to you for a while now...you better be honest or I will call you out)

Do you have the guts?

Step up...or step away.



Then call me gutless as I would rather take a bullet for a friend than take a chance of falling in love again. Its way less pain for me.

To actually fall in love?


Can you let go of your fear and just love like what you want to recieve?
I can and will when my heart says go.

Can you put aside the heart ache of failed attempts?
I don't look at past relationships as failed attempts for the most part. I try to figure out why our paths split and what can I do/change to not repeat that the next time. Everyone comes in our lives for a reason. Mine has just been a longer journey than some. laugh


Do you got the balls to stand up to the plate again and risk striking out when you want a Homerun?
I have the balls, if my heart says "swing".


Do you really plan on saying "F**kit...I do love you"?
I would love nothing more than to tell the person that I have a relationship with "I love you".

Will you honestly give love a fighting shot or do you resist it. (I know the answer before I ask the question so, if I have talked to you for a while now...you better be honest or I will call you out)

Do you have the guts?
This may sound shallow...I hope not; but I have to be honest. I have the guts; but my heart/body/soul are in the country with horses and motorcycles. I honestly don't think I'll be going anywhere unless my cowboy or biker rides up to take me away.

Step up...or step away.
Stepping aside and waiting flowerforyou

I wanted to be ready in the past but wasn't. I have grown so much over the last three years. Life is short, I am valuable and have so much to give a partner. When the time presents itself I will be ready.bigsmile

mmm, I'm shocked at the amount of bitterness expressed toward something like love.
Kind of makes you wonder if it's really worth it.

You're right. There comes a time when you have to stand in the door and decide if you're going to jump or ride back to base in shame and dispare, and agonize over your choice for the rest of your life.

I've taken the jump many times before. And even knowing that sometimes it ends in a very hard landing, I'd do it again.
Even if it doesn't end well, at least you will have an unforgettable view of the countryside on your way down.

Label me gutsy....I may joke and play around but when it comes down to it I want and need that one true love that withstands all storms.

I am willing to fight, weed, torment, whatever I have to do to get it.




Now THAT is a Texas woman! That love's out there for ya doll.

Yes, with an "if"....


This question is mainly posed at the old timers here. Though, anyone is free to answer.

Can you let go of your fear and just love like what you want to recieve?


As much as I have fun on here complaining about my 94 bad past relationships, I'd definitely be willing to try again. If -- here's the if -- I were to run across someone who could realistically fit into my criteria.


Can you put aside the heart ache of failed attempts?


I'd like to think so. I'd like to think I've reached the point where I can recognize the many, many mistakes I made in the past. I'd like to think I have a better idea of what to look for, i.e., red flags and such. I could be totally wrong about that, I don't know. I do know that it would be better for me to spend the rest of my life alone than to be in another relationship like I've had in the past. On the other hand, it might be nice to try it again, with someone who wasn't like the others before....?


Do you got the balls to stand up to the plate again and risk striking out when you want a Homerun?


Depends on how convinced I am about the person. I'm not gonna go into anything blindly.


It took me three years before I had the courage to just say "Screw it! Let's fall in love"

I am so grateful that I took the chance and despite odds or distance, I found what everyone here is searching for.....love.


And you are to be congratulated for that. But you are also to be congratulated for taking your time and not rushing into anything, which is where a lot of us have made mistakes before.


Do you really plan on saying "F**kit...I do love you"?


If it's true, sure. Another "if."


If not, no biggie cause I know that some of my very best friends are here.... But ask yourself this simple question....DO YOU WANT TO FALL IN LOVE? I am talking about the patience, work, compromise, empathy. Cause I know alot of people here can't see past thier past or thier ideals. I used to be one of them.

Just curious....


Do I want to? Absolutely. Is there anyone out there who I could feel that way about? That's where I have my doubts.


Will you honestly give love a fighting shot or do you resist it. (I know the answer before I ask the question so, if I have talked to you for a while now...you better be honest or I will call you out)

Do you have the guts?

Step up...or step away.


It's a valid question, and it forces us to take a look at ourselves beneath all of the internet facadism. Frankly, I'm tired of being alone. At the same time, I still remember what it was like NOT being alone -- and, no matter how you want to slice it, for me, it was always far more bad than good.

But I know -- on some sort of intellectual plane -- it doesn't have to be that way.

I want to be realistic, though. It really doesn't matter, in the end, what I'm open to, or what I'm not, if there's nobody suitable out there. I'm not saying there isn't, I'm just saying I haven't seen anything to suggest there is.

I wouldn't mind being wrong about that though. I've had lots of practice at being wrong!

Love is like good porn.

I thought I did when I came onto this site but found I didn't.

So I worked on myself for a while.

Now to have someone who moves me and who I can respect cross my path so I can see if I have the guts again.

I don't think we can really know for sure until the opportunity presents itself and the decision is in front of our face.

Ok here goes. I'm three (OMG DID SHE SAY 3?) times divorced. And yet I still came on this site hoping. I have had many awesome conversations with some very interesting men. I have found amazing people to call my friends. One disaster of a relationship (wih a fellow mingler). And gave anyone who contacted me a chance.
I now have found a great man (well he found me) and wehave been dating a few months now. Seems to be going great and I have NO plans on tradin ghim in any time soon.
SSSSOOOOOOO.........

If I after 3 (OMG frustrated slaphead DId I just admit it again?) divorces can stil have faith. Then ANYONE should be able to try.
You can not expect love to just find you... you have to be open to the idea.
So I stepped up!!
