have you ever considered just settling (71)
I usually cling to Lovaboy's threads in that case! 
But seriously... Holydays? Just another day for me.... I have my kids to keep me company and busy going around and getting them what they want from Santa. Me, I couldn't give a sh@# about who's not with me at those times.
Holidays are a ploy to get you to buy crap no one really needs, I don't get too sappy about it....

been there done that...now I am here....I spent the last 5 1/2 years in a relationship that I knew I shouldn't be in because I didn't want to be alone...Here is what I got instead:
I got bounced off the walls when he was coming down off his crack high or whatever drug he chose to do..
My bank account was drained of the last couple thousand dollars that I had to survive while I was trying to heal from an accident..
I was constantly lied to..
Always wondered if I was gonna say the wrong thing and then he might leave or bounce me off the walls again..
have a knife put to my throt and threatened to be killed because he was tripping on something..
so no....I will not settle....I want it all...a lover, best friend, someone who will love me for me....I will not settle for anything less....

I would have to say any of the "person above you" threads...

I can't even settle down in a place for very long, I have been moving all my life trying to find the right one... so settling down with someone i don't think would be compatible with would not happen, mind you saying that I have stayed in, what I thought was a good relationship at the begining, too long. I don't like giving up on someone. I have no children so my life can get very lonely sometimes, but I usually am able to have a good social circle around me. and there is also online friends. not the same though.

As Imasquirly1 says,...........settle for nothing other what you want to have.
I've been there and done that sort of thing, being alone isn't as bad as it's meant to be.
Bad diet, someone mentioned, just a matter of personal discipline

You're not the only one that is picky. We've learned from previous mistakes.

yes, for about a millisecond every once in a while
My last serious relationship was many years ago and it would just make a mockery of all my time alone if I was to settle for less than I need at this point in time.
It would also be a massive insult to the person I chose to just settle for too in that they would deserve better than the half love that they would be getting.
I believe that life is what you make of it and try to have a positive self regard at all times - its just too easy to get down otherwise.
Holiday season, well, we will mostly all be here for each other hopefully - cant remember when I last spent christmas with somebody - awww, sad for Trish - not - haha its not so bad once your used to it - and if you dont weaken

Shrinks, sociologist, have time and again reported that being alone is so detrimental to ones health.
Even ones eating habits become sometimes less healthy.
So for these reasons, or any others, have you ever given it serious thought... and then what pulls you out of that line of thought?
What is the thread you cling to that prevents you from settling for someone who you know is not worthy or even capable of sharing a fulfilling relationship?
like it or not tis that time of year... holidays and the season of depression.
I can tell I'm gonna have one of those maniacal days when I awake with thoughts like these.
