dcj22: I know this is a dating site, but I go through periods when I'm not truly in a place of wanting to date, for various reason.
My breaks have often lasted for years.
At this moment, however, I'm thinking I'm finally ready to start looking again. Does anyone else ever go through this kind of thing, other than right after a breakup?
I do for sure. I am not really looking but having a heck of a good time dating.
druidess6308: I've been going through it lately in periods that are shorter than that... Days that I don't want to date 'cuz I like my life the way it is, days when I wish I were in a steady relationship because I miss having that...and days I could use just a good f*ck to get it out of my system.
I don't know if it means I'm normal, or that I'm just really messed up.
I'm glad that you feel you're in a place where you're ready to look.
mylifewithu: Many times I have and for several years at a time too. Although I haven't given much time between them as I did when I was raising my childeren alone.
Dawn7z: Yeah have been there for the last 10 months. No man no cry lol.
Hi, Dawn. I'm Dana. Nice to meet you. I'm not a newby, just had a break for a few months and am back, so there are a lot of people I need to meet! Nice to meet you.

Yeah, I went through it quite a few times while my *now* husband and I were divorced... ((I hope that made sense ))

I once heard a woman say, "the best way to get over a man was to get under another one"..

So are you ready again?
Yeah............. She wanted to sit on her pity pot..
dcj22: I didn't know you were married, sweetie! Congrats.
I missed so much while I was gone.
It's a long story, but my ex and I got remarried Sept. 14th....And ya know...it's one of the best things I've done...Who would've thought that all I was looking for was right in front of me... and I didn't realize it for a while...but thank goodness I finally did! I kinda kept things quiet for a while, but a bit after Mindful and Mickey got married, I finally let the secret out... Judging from everyone's reactions, it was a bit of a shock...lol It seems as if it's the season for weddings lately...now Joanne and Eric has gotten married also!! Wonder who's gonna be next??
