moonkitten: Question: (Your Views, concerning a relationship) <What does a person do , if they`re on a "dry dock"?>
Great post. I live in a small town (had lived for years in a cosmopolitan area) so it's even more difficult. Try to look at it this way: you don't want to be damaged by someone. God doesn't want to see you get hurt. A little bit of rain on dirt makes the whole darn field muddy. And so on. I am so impatient, myself. I struggled for so long with my love/passion, and now that I feel so ready to love and be wanted, desired, loved, cherished, all those beautiful things, it is elusive. Funny, when I resisted what were probably good matches for me, back in the day, there were enough of them for me to have made a good partner. Now that I really, really want to, it is so elusive. Life! Hanging in there, though, and thanking God for keeping me out of harm's way, even though loneliness for a lover persists. (although I am not a "lonely" type--very happy when I am alone much of the time. Still, I need a hunky warm body next to mine. I'd rather not get stuck with a turd, though. Kapiche?
