most of us here are hoping to find yet another chance to love again.

what drives/motivates you to finally decide you wanted to be with that certain person?

There's nothing like the pain from a good woman.

I wish everybody the absolute best!!!

I absolutely love my time alone. I want nothing to spoil it. If I want to go off for a year on another journey, I can at a moment's notice. if I want to go fishing for months on end, leaving tonight, I can!!! I love that! I wouldn't change it ever.

Yes, I love having friends, and it would be nice to have a lover now and then.... but they need to go home at the end of the night, unless it's all night... I'm not safe to sleep with. I've almost killed several people in my sleep overseas.

Some ask, well why don't you let someone travel with you? There's people who would.... well, there's the sleep stuff I described above, and...

I travel to too many dangerous places, so nobody, not even my male friends can travel with me either...I couldn't deal with them being hurt, or more likely killed.... And also... sometimes I just like my own time and missions accomplished, and they might resent me for that if they were along....

everything is as it should be.

there can never be any better than being with someone whom you shared the same values with...

someone's driven by compassion and commitment in any given levels of relationship.

For me at least, it isn't a case of trying to recapture something that I lost.

I never have had, what I hoped I did, at the times I went through what I have been through.

So this moment is really a continuation of the same journey I set out on when I was very young: to find a true MATE. Or short of that, true friends.

I think I fall into the other category of the few that have yet to experience the kind of love you're referring to for the first time, but if I ever do I'll come back to this string and let you know.

yes please..and hopefully,it's gonna be soon! :

best of luck

A few years ago, I experienced a short term romance with a friend turned lover , and for a period of time, I experienced the best of both worlds.

If I am ever blessed enough to find love again, that would be a wonderful combo to revist

Hormones.

OUR CHOICES ARE NOT LOGICAL CONSCIOUS CHOICES , THEY ARE EMOTIONAL UNCONCIOUS

CHOICES....THEY ARE SOMEONE WE ALREADY KNOW ON AN EMOTIONAL LEVEL...THE ANSWER

IS INSIDE US AND NOT OUT THERE.....SO MUCH TIME IS WASTED ON SURFACE NOISE

INSTEAD OF THE REAL ISSUES....

I have pretty much given up on dating. I'm looking on here because I have maybe one in 1 billion chance to meet a man.

Don't give up catinidaho. Your very pretty and you will steal some guys heart one day
