Give it some time Sara, it will happen. If anything, make some friends and who knows, you may find that special someone.
I have been here since last June without really looking. Just been making friends here in the forums and as of a couple weeks ago started talking to someone getting to know her.
I'll stop there as everyone else has already hit the important stuff :)

Sara, hunnie, meet someone who HAS given up..... I'm not ever going to meet a "special" someone so I am surrounding myself with my own successes and a few friends..... Its working I guess.... but you're young enough and you have a whole life to live, maybe you'll meet you're special someone 2morrow or next week or next year... you never know what's going to happen....

Hey pick me pick me. I know I am to old for you, but I can always try.

why the rush? enjoy life, the world is your oyster so go out and explore it .
like the saying goes when you stop looking for love it usually finds you :)

get past the outside and see what is on the inside,some people look rough and sound rough on the outside.but once you get to know what is on the inside most of the time you are happy.yes sometimes you are not.

but it means the same does something that looks good on the outside does it mean it is good on the inside,sometimes yes and sometimes no.

the point in life is you have to be willing to take a chance sure some you will regret while some you will not.but you will never know unless you are will to take a chance.if you give up you will never know what could happen.

no one knows what tomorrow will bring until it comes

Sarah, much as I respect Dr. Wave and have a vote of confidence up for Damit's Cloudy....I just want to add a little something.

Check you profile picture. See that warm, radiant and gorgeous smile? Wear it often, wear it well and someone, somewhere is going to pick up on that warmth....

Hi,
I so understand what Sarah is saying. I feel the same.
I know though that we musn't give up, or rush into anything just for the sake of being with someone.
So I do agree with you here as well Leviathan.
For my part I feel like I can't even trust myself to make the right choice despite being very picky; Besides it takes me for ages to get over a past relationship. So I find it even scarier.
I had an awful time today and was so sad and depressed in the morning; and then I tried to get myself busy, reading, listening to music, watching tv etc... with a few tears in between.
But I am feeling much better. It is just one of those days.
Also it is good to know that you can share your feelings with others here, where possibly many like us are going through the same difficult time.
Don't give up.x

it is true that many of us here are probably going through very similar situation. we can't give up even though there might seem to be no hope, we can't give up because tomorrow is a new day. it has new hope. i really like that song that i've heard on the radion that reba mcintyre sings.......i am a survivor..

Boy, I have felt like Giving up so many times But I hear you Abra, I have spent nearly 3 years in and out of the Forums and Online Scene's, I met 1 person that had enough compassion for others to actually reply to me one on one. BUT I NEVER GIVE UP! I too have seen the half Century mark in my life, I still think like a 20 year old, Anythings possible, Sahrah Just Keep good thoughts and that Wonderful Smile, you to will touch many hearts in your life. in my case....THE PACKAGE MAY BE WEATHERED AND TORN, BUT The contents are still intact and fully functional!
Most of us Real people want dignity and respect, if you expect it you have to give it!

May you all find some magic in your life......

Hey there...this thread was started more than a couple of days ago, but its content does not allow me to go by it without saying something. Sarah, I grew up in a town in Idaho that is heavily dominated by a certain religion. It seemed that the one thing everyone had to do after high school was get married and bear babies. Thats not for me, at least not yet. My point being is that you shouldn't rush into marriage or feel like you need to because of your environment. Being that you're only 19, LIVE LIFE! Explore it! Take each day as it comes and make it count! My best friend got married early and is now having her second child. Being that I have told her that I am now finally started to feel the draw toward motherhood, she warned me that having a family changes everything. That she would have lived a little bit longer before having to commit herself to her babies and husband (whom she loves dearly, don't get me wrong). Lol, and on the flip side, if you were in the same situation as I was, where I was my bff's bridesmaid, all I could think was, "damn I look like a purple peep in this f*&king dress!"

Don't give up . Believe in yourself and try looking for friends first.

Sounds like me as far as out going is concerned. I get very few answers and so far all of them have been sorry. So I know how you feel.

I know with me if a woman is wearing a ring of any sort on her left ring finger I won't approach her. I've just always assumed she is spoken for.

Giving up can sometimes be exactly the thing to do . That doesn't mean being self destructive; quite the contrary. It is just when we surrender that we find the truth, about ourselves or a situation. Look at the Zen stories. Many times it is the moment a student gives up in frustration that he/she learns the lesson. It is self that blocks us. Let life do.

There is something to what you say..

Had good freinds here tellme awhile back to just have fun, and lets things happen... Life wil ahppen regardless, so forcing things takes much energy...
Sure, look...but, don't look too hard. From what I've seen, it happens before you realized it was there!lol
So all the hunting, planning...is moot, yes?
Be okay with you, and love freely...
Find out what it is that you seek, and do you have it for yourself?
Just rambling...

Wow, are you really that depressed. Are you even still around. I mean life works best when you have someone special in your life but there are so many other aspects of living that life can give pleasure just by caring about others and sharing who you are and your gifts with them. Even after half a century, life can be good. Have you never never felt love. Do you love yourself so little. Look within and then see who's looking in.

Ya, I'm agree what happen to the good guys? I will like to find a real man where ever He is at, but no luck at all. does some one knows a wonderful man ready for happiness?È
