I think the profile is great...........sure its long but its interesting, and tells a lot about you............Im positive you will find that special one

Thanks for taking a second. Being semi-shy doesn't make for meeting new people in real life an easy task.


its not easy thats for sure, i know about being shy and being on this singles website and on others has helped me to open up and not be so shy, i hope that by next year i have someone special with me, good luck hon

Put shy aside. get out and figure it out. the more you do it the better you get. I know so I was/am . You do get over it. I call it grow a couple of cahonies and it works. A bit uncomfortable at first but the more you do you start to wonder why was I.

zstratman,

i agree with you, after going out on different dates you actually do get over the shyness and you start to open you and having fun

I've spent many holidays alone over the years. I try not to dwell on the fact there is no one special in my life. Heck, even when I had someone he was always in another state at holiday time it seemed. It does get depressing when you find yourself alone at night, or on Christmas Eve.....

Not to mention those damned commercials with the happy couple and he gives her a diamond ring for Christmas......

yea, you do. or just starting a conversation with some one in a line or any place for that matter.Its all good. You get to know yourself better too. you may never see that other person again but so what.That can make it easier too thinking that way. wow i just realized that..........must be the turkey

texasrose,

i have been there as well, my exhusband was that way, he was never around for the holidays at least not at the end of our marriage, and yea i hate those commercials

nah its not the turkey but ya ur right u have more confidence and u talk to more people in a grocery line or at the bank or while fueling ur car up

thats what those commercials want you to think. its like if i dont get that or this or whatever im defective or something. and we wouldnt want to be defective now would we?

I think those are the worst kinds of commercials for the single people to watch....assuming they feel lonely or left out. It's almost a negative reminder of your status or lack of a companion....

listen 2 married ppl w.children talk about all the stress that the holidays bring on & be happy its not u...

I don't think its so bad to be single...sit around and listen to your married buddies who are miserable for a day or two then you will realize that you have it made!

I tell you, my brothers and sister think I am the smart one at of all of us...I am the only single one of us kids left. I do what I want, when I want~~they can't do that. I don't see single as being a bad thing...I actually think its great! I have been happily divorced for 10 wonderful years now and I don't have one complaint!!
If you want to find someone, I wish you luck but until you do...I hope you are happy being single

sure it is if you let yourself swallow it that way. especially on a weak sort of day.and yea everybody has those.

You are right about married people and all the problems they have... And Im far from considering being married for the holidays.
I just want someone and not just anyone.

besides, forgetting about the problems relationship have is the sole reason I continue my search. I know there is someone who is perfectly compatible.
