Profiles say one thing, our actions show another. I am sure all (at least most of us) really do enjoy the forums for the most part.

But why do we REALLY stay? Is it our longing to be loved? How many would truly be "WILLING" to take the risk that is required to make a loving relationship work?

I have often stated that BOTH parties must be "available" emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally.. How many are, and how many still CHOOSE to hang on to the past hurts or hang on to "what might be".

sigh

Also, long ago I learned that we could never truly love or be friends with another until we learned to love and be friends to ourselves...uh oh

I choose now. i am here to kill time while i take a break from my domestic engineering. I am looking forward to finding a partner. Sooner or later . It is all good

I was guilty of residing in the past but then I learned that I can no longer do that.I also realized that noone is responsible for making me happy that I have to do the work myself.

I've often asked myself the question of why I bother even staying on the forums.


I have no problem taking the risk again I just haven't found anyone I'm really and truly interested in.

seems like even if everything is "perfect" something always gets in the way. sometimes we get in our own way.
sometimes dynamics develop. sometimes it is just life.
sometimes we forget why we started in the first place. you might know what you want to begin with, then it gets complicated. frustrated

I would agree with your assessment as I thought I really tried to make a relationship work but it all ended in tears two months ago. I came to see that my partner gradually looked on our relationship through the prism of what fullfilled her needs in a selfish way. If I contradicted her she would go into a rage in a very short time. This is behaviour I find unacceptable.
I think in her eyes I became the abusing ex husband even though I never raised my voice or got spiteful.
There must be a reason why I end up with women who hold on to their painful pasts in a way that sabotages the present.
doh

In total honesty, I wouldn't feel comfortable meeting a woman from a dating site, I'm sure and aware that relationships have been made through dating sites but personally I'd need to meet someone face to face first. I enjoy the forums and the banter though peace
