I've been very busy lately and I simply can't find the time to "search for love". When the weekend comes, all I want to do is relax, lie down, watch a film, surf the internet and - stay at home. I'm too tired to go out with friends, especially at night or on blind dates with men I might meet online. I wonder if I really have the time and energy for a relationship at the moment. Any others with the similar problem? How do you manage? And - do you?

We first need to meet one we "like" and then spend a lot of time with him, until we feel this is the one...only then it is time for "love" and "commitments"...
That takes a awfully long time...not for all mind you...

Maybe you aren't really ready to find love at this time. There is nothing wrong with spending time with yourself until you are truly ready to get out there. They say love comes at the least time expected but if you are enjoying your time at home, I don't think love will come knocking at your door, lol. We may wish it was that easy.
Good luck and don't rush anything would be my advice.
modern children of a modern society … when our celphone is one year old we get a newer one (did not say a better one) with a few extra possibilities that serve for strictly nothing if you ask me … We are not to busy, we are changing, just like we get rid of our Phone once a year, we get rid of our partner when routine steps in. Not that long ago people still "prepared" meals everyday, did the Household, took care of 5 children … today, all we have is a job … and we complain that we don't have time for love ???? whouhahahahaha
Do you ever ask yourself what matters in life ??? When you will be 80 will you hope to be able to think back with sweet memories of all your cell phones, one night stands and restaurants …… If so … you're doing great … please do continu !!!

We don't " search" for love. It comes when we're ready.
Or...as Rumi said: "your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that we have built against it".

I think we ain't but, most women first prefer to build a carreer and then when all is running well, and she's almost 40, she'll decide to hurry into a marriage and produce some children while there's still time for it. In a few years it will be too late.
or maybe we are masters in complicating things …. When I was young we used to walk up to a girl and say something like : I like you, wanna be my girlfriend ?Or we slipped a note into her hands …. hoping to get one back haha..
And love … does not knock at your door indeed. All begins with friendship and from there on ….
It's all a fantasy/fallacy anyway. I'd rather spend my time on something productive, or at least on something that isn't bound to inevitably go to hell.
