I try not to go on Facebook. I feel that it's alright to do a bit of stalking on here but I don't know where to start searching on Facebook, apart from with people that I already know. It's bad enough that I'm stalking women that I know but then I end up stalking their friends as well. I do draw the line at stalking friends of friends of the people that I'm stalking though. That would just be for sad people that don't have anything better to do with their time.

I'm not single. I'm here for free entertainment and laughs.

Just so you know, my cats are NOT part of the refreshments!

came for the brains and stayed for the boobs

Of course they aren't. They are part of the entertainment.

I'm actually not on any other dating sites. I have a few friends on here I keep in touch with like with any other site. Thats about it.

maybe it is just the only way that I can deal with men right now...lol

I mean not the ONLY way, but an online medium allows some of us to warm up from a safe distance

I am here for both friendship and dating, even though I don't get many local girls responding. I am really enjoying the social side, you don't get that on other "swimming with the sharks" sites, I like to "swim with the dolphins", so I am friendly chatting to a few girls on here and its real nice. If it leads to more well that is great as well.
After many years and too much water under the bridge I have come to the conclusion that if I have a like minded other half I am damn sure she doesn't live around the corner, she must be somewhere, anywhere in the world and I am going to have fun searching for her. In mean time I'll just make the most of being single and try to keep out of trouble hehe.

In life, we can not define ourselves by exterior factors. We can not rely on others for happiness. Liking who we are, enjoying life with or without a significant other we can have a rewarding fulfilling life.
I can be content in my life. I have my faith, family friends and a job I enjoy.

Do I get lonely? Absolutely. Do I wish for a relationship, a companion, a shoulder to cry on sometimes, and the tenderness and affection? Of course. Sometimes I even feel left out or the oddball like was talked about in a different conversation.

That doesn't mean I'm going to jump in with the first person just because they offer.
I think that's what some people mean. They would rather be alone than in a bad situation. I'm sure that's happened to most of us.

I can be fine being single until there is someone who likes me as I am, flaws as well as virtues. Someone who I can be there for them in equal measure. I hope for that.

In the meantime I'm having fun. Talking to people on the forums. Meeting people from all over the world. Making friends.

I'm here to constantly remind myself
why I'm happy being single.
Thanks ladies.

It is not that I like being single but you have to be happy in life and also happy in your own skin so I enjoy the small things in life, date casual and keep a eye out in case the real thing comes my way.

It usually takes me a while to get over a relationship. I am pretty much resigned to that never working out for me, as I said in a thread that I started recently but I have felt happier about being single just by doing this and starting dating again. It has made me really think about what type of women that I get on with and why I click with the ones that I do. I've chatted with one or two lately that I seemed to put off by saying things about myself and my life that they apparently thought were too heavy or a bit of a downer for them.

Most of the women that I've met through internet dating had problems and were not entirely happy. I would rather meet someone that has difficulties and has had an interesting life than some boring "happy" person that doesn't want to talk about anything serious and isn't what I would think of as a caring sort of person. My last girlfriend had some really serious issues but she was one of the most interesting women that I've ever met in my life and she had been through more in her twenty three years than most middle aged people that I've met. The main thing that I am looking for is someone that will accept me for who I am and that I can feel comfortable with without worrying that I'm going to say or do something that isn't a "happy" thing in their opinion. I can see little point in a relationship if I can't talk to them about feelings and although I do think that a relationship should be fun and shouldn't make you miserable, I can be a bit of a cynical person and if someone can't handle me saying that I think that some things are crap, they aren't for me. I am also cynical about so-called "happy" people. Quite often it's a front or a form of selfishness in my opinion. They like things the way that they are and they want to keep up those appearances and sweep any problems under the carpet. At a point in my life where I most needed friends nobody really wanted to know because those happy types are fair weather friends. That's how I feel about them.

I don't think its about being happy that we are single, but more the freedom to be single until we decide that we feel like getting emotionally obligated. But I do think that none of us really wants to be totally alone....

Hahaha I'm from highlands of Scotland. 400 a.d.

Oh now we know why your here.

I honestly can't say I enjoy being single. I like the familiar feeling of coming home knowing someone is there. I like looking beside me after I've climbed a mountain and seeing the view from her eyes. Or something I've done a hundred times from her perspective. I like waking up having coffee in my house with some one in my shorts knowing I don't have to get dressed and GO home. Lifes simplest moments are somehow better when they are shared. I enjoy pleasant conversation and touch. Being single I feel like I'm just going through the motions of life but barely living. All I can take with me or have the moment of my death are my memories. What a dull blur it would be if all those moments I spent alone.

From what I read, most aren't HAPPY being single, just settled in the fact it's most likely there will never be another person come along they could stand sharing space with.

At first, I was here for the dating. Then it was for friends and forums. I just got married and I still cherish my friends here.

And Joe we cherish your friendship as well she got one hell of a sweet & caring man for sure....
