What am I missing?

Always the best friend
The one to put a smile on yer face when its been a bad day
The crutch during a breakup
The one to vent to when someone makes ya angry
The one who listens and understands
But...
What am I missing?
Funny how the good souls are the most alone
Am I not strong enough? Or am I too strong?
Am I not attractive enough?
Am I too old?
Am I just plain awkward?
Am I boring?
Is it because I'm not rich and successful....yet? laugh
Or...maybe its not me at all...maybe society has misplaced its values and the good souls are simply forgotten and swept under the rug. Makes me wish, at times, that I was born in a different century....where did I leave them ruby slippers, I dont belong here

I have had days like these too comfort hug

I think it's ok to feel this way but just make sure we snap out of it after done sulking? wink grin

Hope you'll have an easy and pleasant week ahead, Red bouquet
Lol dream...no sulking here, some things just make me wonder confused laugh ...I mean other than being in the emergency room this weekend for swollen muscle tissue within my ribcage, its been a pretty productive weekend...got myself a jeep, finally so I'm mobile once again and seen my family for the holiday....for the most part, I'm quite content. Some things just make me curious dancing cheering wave
Dream...curiosity takes up permanent residence in this Gemini's personality rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing ....without asking why, you'll never find out. There are some who take comfort in the blinders and settle for the information that's offered to them and then there are those who always want to dig a little deeper...who tend to read between the lines and see through the obvious...and ask questions like investigators solving a crime....blinders never suited me well wine wink wave
hey EM,wave It this about the way women do you or both???



Be Blessed!!
Good,angel
I have to agree, Red. Different people, different personalities.

I do at times, wished that I'm more inquisitive, wanting to know more and I'm pretty sure I'd be a successful someone, succeed in life, have a different career path- a very good one instead of just waiting on tables wink
As you claim to be in a relation ship I don't understand where this blog is going...
Dream...everyone is good for someone, they just haven't met yet comfort ....there are men who like the simplicity of a woman who is more grounded and predictable. They crave the stability. The kind of man who can handle me is usually grounded and stable himself, yet assertive and a little on the crazy side, with no fear....but a good kind of crazy..with a backbone. rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing ...I tend to be a bit difficult at times. There are plenty of men who are intimidated by strong, unpredictable women....see, different people are just drawn to different personalities for different reasons dancing
Blue....does it really need to go anywhere, its a blog, its random thoughts..it goes anywhere conversation takes it dunno laugh ....I sometimes wonder if what I have is a relationship at all...as much as I'd like it to be. Where its going, I'm not too sure...and only time will determine that. For now, it is what it is.

Oh ok random thoughts bouncing off abstract random interaction between obtuse bloggers ....
Got it now
'-)
Thank you for the music, Robrt....always one with enlightened heart wave hug
well ENIGMA, you are an interesting lady, that's for sure. I'd think your personality with your beautiful red hair and face should put you in position for many men's favor. Hard to say why you would always be the best friend, but that is what you want to be, in the end, for the one you marry...I wouldn't delve too deep into the enigma of yourself and others or you will get lost and lose the world outside laugh just kidding you.

If you are in a relationship now, not sure what you are missing...it sounded like you were still looking for love, or love how you envision it....and you don't have it right now.

If you want more romance and less bromance, act less like a brother or more like the other. wine

Good luck, you really are blessed with beautiful looks and remember men love an enigma! Just don't let them solve it. teddybear
No one is special than u...dnt loose hope...
Wonder about the same things sometimes but never dwell on it for too long. Life is and we are so living it as it comes along is most of the time the easiest. dunno
Hey EM, Sorry you asked what are you missing and you listed your qualities from what I see? And how you feel all the good souls are most alone?? I was thinking that you were the one they always come too when in need but you seem too be alone is that what you were saying here or did it just go over my head?


Good, angel
From what I can tell by your previous blogs, there is one man who doesn't see you as any of those things.
He has more fun things in mind when he thinks of you wink
Rais.. A new face..welcome wave

Everyone is special in their own right....don't think I can lose that if I tried laugh dancing
Ek...I suppose you are correct...this is why we live our real lives. And take things as they come handshake wave
Good...it is as you say....though not currently looking..many times it is my heart and thoughts that feel alone and just voicing only that. And no more no less...no worries, at times i know what i say sometimes tends to go over anyone's heads...i do have my moments rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Molly is that truly the case? Or am I just filling his free time? dunno still unsure of that side of it and still holding onto the idea that its much more than that. Maybe wanting more than what will ever be, who knows wine
My Dear EM, You have a wonderful sense of humor stick with the laughter for it is good for the soul!!! See the humor in all things, I promise life will always be great with no big worries!!dancing bouquet




Stay Blessed!!!
Good,angel
enigma laugh hug you have to answer your own questions. But you are an astute lady so reckon you know them just buried them under that rug of yours.hug

Life can be sh-- at times but you know you have to get out their, nothing just comes knocking on the door.

I join loads of different clubs, I am not everyones cup of tea you see so I do meet one or two here and their.peace teddybear

Wishing you wellbouquet
Hi Enigma. Happens so that we don't notice those men who I wanted to love us.
Deep deep thoughts on a blue Monday.

This too will pass hug
I would see it as something positive Enigma. Friends are important, it is a safety net for me and I wouldn't want to risk a good friendship for a relationship that mightn't work out. Or in my case, I have a friend where I know it would never work - and I don't want to lose him as a friend. Maybe it is similar for them.

People like what they like, and I have met some lovely guys I knew would bore the head off me when together or by being with them I would have a life I didn't want. And vice-versa - guys that wanted an obedient wifey or a super model or simply someone else - that's just the way it is.

If something is supposed to work long-term - there has to be a mutual attraction and understanding or there will be more heartache.

Yep, I know life isn't fair. laugh
Hi enigma, I know looks alone are not enough. I was trying to say that you had a lot of things going for you that would draw love in your direction. To be honest, I was little confused about your blog post, as I think some others were. laugh

You asked what you were missing. As Red said, you are the only one who can really answer that question. If you feel in your current relationship something significant is missing, doesn't seem you are completely happy with it. But don't put all the blame on yourself (as KN showed in her post). Chemistry is a complicated thing.

Anyway, I like your profile name. Can't say I would want an enigma for a permanent relationship because I don't want to be totally in the dark~! lol. But a little guessing and mystery is a wonderful thing. teddybear
Lol yes, good I couldn't agree more...sense of humor is a must when handling what life throws at ya wink laugh
Red....its not so much fun answering my own questions...if such is the case, I'd already know the ins and outs to where this blog was going lol...I like the element of surprise..

I do get out there every day, walking or cycling..but there is never anyone my age...not sure I understand why lol always kids or elderly.. Either that or they havent visited their dentist in a lifetime and in dire need of dental help..no I just can't even lol

I'm not everyone's cup of tea either, Red, sometimes I wonder if I really want to be.....until the urge of interaction kicks in once again...thats when i hit the blogs rolling on the floor laughing ..but soon my online classes will start and help me take my mind off of things a bit yay ...I've already taken up membership at the gym but it hasn't helped a whole lot.....I think my brain is too active for my own good sometimes
rolling on the floor laughing teddybear wave
Ummka...they need to learn to be a bit more obvious...we can't be bothered with cat and mouse rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Biff...deep thoughts? Nahh.. Just a bit simple yet random....and its such a rainy monday here wave
KNenagh...positivity, maybe...but I do keep my friendships down to a small circle. Those who know me very well, those I can trust. See, Ive never had the scenario of having to choose friendship over relationship or vice versa...the friends i have are supportive regardless and never put me in the predicament to choose. Theyve always been my safety net though only problem being my 2nd shift employment so it makes it hard to find the time that doesn't clash schedules ...yes, people like what they like...and those men that fall into the friend zone are good for just that. Good people though, just not for me. Ohh but what to do with this crazy Gemini I've chosen for me! Lol there is definitely that mutual attraction ...but the understanding is lacking and maybe heartache is to follow but who knows. confused dunno its so not fair doh rolling on the floor laughing wave
Calm...I may just be unaware of these good things, otherwise I shan't ask...yes, there are some things missing in the current relationship...some things I can't really explain...chemistry is very complicated but I just can't bring myself to let go of it. I've chosen Enigma with reason...I think I may just be as complicated as the Gemini I've been dating rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing ....suppose I can't expect anyone else to understand...I can totally understand an onlookers confusion confused .. And for that I apologize doh laugh wave
tia chi q gong, u-tube have good 5 minute lessons. Good for soul.
I just think life for me that is would be boring with only one person in it I need loads of friends all on different wave lengthsgrin and of course I change my life just be moving and making newq friends all over againrolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Oh hell that is me, but I am at peace with myself the trouble would start if a bloke entered my lifedoh lordy lordy me.

Have good Monday blue times passhug
Red, with the hours I work, I'm alone often doh ....wish I had more time with friends...when I'm available in the mornings, everyone else is already working...when I get home late at night, everyone else has since gotten home from their jobs and gone to bed already....when I am at work there are only one or two other people in the shop...so I'm a bit of an introvert and don't socialize much because my exposure to others is minimal playball dunno laugh

Your working hours do sound as if they make everything difficult. It's hard to socialise and meet someone when you work when everyone else is off.

Same here, have a few, good friends, one best friend to confide in and my family. Never needed to choose and don't think I would want to.

Being "good" is not enough for a relationship unfortunately. Someone safe isn't necessary someone you would want to share your life with. I know too well we're you're coming from. doh

Best of luck with the Gemine!
