No not afraid to fall in love.....But as many have said...with the right person....But it seems the older I get...being with someone holds less importance...as I have found a comfort...if you will...in being alone. Of course it holds it's sad moments of wanting someone near...someone to tell your day to...maybe walk on the beach hand in hand...instead of kicking stones by yourself... But all in all, am very satisfied with my life...and if it happens...wonderful! And if not...I'll just keep visiting here...
I hope you do find your Mr.Right for you.It sounds as if you are ready.Many people look at love as if it will complete you.I feel that one must be totally in-love with themselves before they are capable of loving another.
I agree with you Chrissy, remembering my younger years...yikes! Life is good now...love my age! And no...I don't need someone to complete...just some to add to! Course something nice to cuddle up to on a cold winters nice is good too!!! LOL....but that's what electric blankets are for! thank you Darlin
At this point in my life I fear nothing. Fear is ultimately nothing more than the anxiety that things will not work out the way you expect. Since I have no expectations there's nothing to fear. It really is as simple as that.
I have no unrealistic expectations that anything will last forever. That's a human fairytale. Just enjoy today. If tomorrow you no longer have what you had today then just be thankful for the memories of what you had yesterday. I can't be worse off than I am right now. Any good moments are better than none at all no matter how fleeting they might be.
There's nothing to fear when you live in the moment because fear has to do with worrying about what tomorrow might bring, and tomorrow may never come. So isn't fear ultimately the silliest thing?
i dont fear it -- falling in love & maintaining love not only feels great but grabs the edges of perception & yanks them wide open! everything's so different when im in love & i see myself as a better person.
even so, finding that singular love doesnt have the same priority in life it used to do. there are so many good folk & interesting folk bringing all these really great experiences into my life, im not going to complain if i never fall in love again. my day-to-day is generally a positive experience & i think that makes me pretty lucky as it stands now.

I think we all have had many interwoven relationships, both good and bad in our lives. It is through these relationships that we survive infancy, grow in our childhood, adolescence and maturity.
They are lessons in meeting defeat, letting go, hurt, anger, heartache and overcoming fear.
These help to irradicate my fear of loving.
I remain open, curious and eager to learn about love and to love again.
