Envy51: Sometimes it not as simple as that MSN.............. I wish it were

But having said that i love my life and i would not change much. If i was given a magic wand I would just ask to have my trust in people given back to me


No its not easy but its do'able......

I have been there myself, personally my story is not too good but not as bad as some...

My sister once told me that my expectations were too high. I expected of others what I myself would do/be.... Believe you me, that lesson I abide by to this day....

Envy51: The obvious answer is i have not meet anyone but i am asking for a little bit more of an answer than that. After two years on here the one thing i have took note of is, we all have issues of one kind or another if we are honest.For me, my biggest issue is i find it very hard to trust and this has held me back. So are you single by choice or because of something from your past?

thumbs up Yep trust is def a big part of it

For me I love my independance, freedom of choice and the dream that one day I will fall head over heals in love, but I am not presently looking for this and I am very happy in life. And in all honestly, after being in a relationship for 20yrs which exhausted me for the most part I would be very cautious about committing again for now.
Like Mollie says I wake up most mornings with a smile on my face wondering what today has in store for me. bouquet
Oh and I do enjoy dating grin

@ FRH & Witty
Do you think the longer you spend with a person the more damage (for want of a better word)is done, say in your example W of 20 years or mine of 22 yearsconversing or could the same ammount of damage be incured in 5 years as opposed to 25 years?

I've moved a lot over the past decade. As a result I've lost my network of friends (Some live abroad too...) I don't socialise nearly as much as I used to because of this, so I reckon at the end of the day I'm single because I'm not 'putting myself out there' as they say. dunno

I'm single by choice for over two years now. The way I looked at it was 10 yrs. of relationships and I needed to get all philosophical with myself before committing again. the break has been the best decision I've ever made. Also, I think if you're clear of past distractions, when you do meet someone it gives the possible chance to 'fall in love,' provided the other is also clear of past distraction conversing
