it's hard to go from being in a relationtionship for 4 1/2 years to being single for 3 and watching all of your friends and family get married and have kids

comin' right up!...

hey i'll take one of those as well with my shots... man now i'm wishin I had gone to the bar with my friend... I just didn't want to be the 3rd wheel besides you guys are nicer

thanks Michele

I totally get it poohbear....

i'm glad someone gets me... I have a bestfriend that I have been friends with for like 14+ years and she just doesn't get it sometimes so it's hard to talk to her... she always says we need to find you a man

If you give up you're right back where you started. PATIENCE

I think I gave up 3 years ago when I had my heart broken maybe I never gave it a fair chance...

Try my story, 14 yrs with my soulmate & she died.
You just got rid on someboody & are still looking for your soulmate.
See, could be worse.

well I thought I found him.. and he got rid of me.. and I still dont really understand why

Hey poohbear,

Don't feel bad, I think you're very attractive and IMHO any guy worth his salt, pepper or peanut butter would think so, too. I've been here a few months now but nobody e mails me much either, (not unless you count the generic 'I want to marry you and carry you off to Upper Slobovia, please send photo of camel and 10,000 drachmas ASAP' love notes). I think I scare some people, but that's OK, as I wouldn't want to be with any guy who couldn't handle a strong, intelligent, independent woman.

Hang in there, you never know when the right one will come along. In the meantime, if you're ever up for a polka or a PB and banana sandwich give me a holler.

Hugs and snoggers from SheNerd and Bubbles :)

can you play Roll Out The Barrel for me?

Sure, that's my favorite.

Starts playing. Monkey dances around and waves his diaper at everyone...

thanks shenerd that's my fav to (really the only polka that i know for sure is a polka)

Mine, too. Actually it's the only one I can sing along with, all the rest are in pig Latin or German.

oh pooh, just relax and wait your turn. your time will come and yeah its frustrating cause we wait and wait and nothing. thats because it takes time to really find that one that just "clicks". dont settle either, we tend to do that too, and thats a big mistake. you're a beautiful lady and it will happen.

p.s. if you ever want to give los angeles a try!!!!

my friend wants to move to cali and keeps tryin to get me to go with her but I just can't leave all the snow no really I could never leave my family

I know not to settle...

thanks guys you are all making me feel a lot better

Hugs pooh, I hear you...it's a very tough world out there.
I was with my guy 32 yrs... I find most guys when they hear I have a 17 yr old disabled son they run...There are times I wanna quit also but I had real love before & know its possible to have it again, I don't believe God made us to be alone...

I agree... although it hurts that my ex left me I believe that we weren't ment for each other I think that he was ment to help me grow as a person... my friends always see all of the bad stuff from our relationship.. but I see all the good that came from it and how I have become a better, stronger person

it took me awhile after my separation then divorce to build up my self esteem and move on. i have been divorced for 3 years now. i have not found the right person yet, but i am not giving up. not sure i will find him on this site, but i have a lot of friends that i am not willing to give up! they keep me laughing! and when i need someone to talk to-- there is always someone there.
