Because "HE" has not come along as of yet,like a lady said earlier would rather be alone than in a relationship trying to make something work,it should be easy once you find the right one,that's what I keep telling myself.Distance wouldn't be a barrier with me and neither would certain cultures but they can be a pain sometimes,the differences of them.

Hi Irish, think everything u said is so true. Lots of nice people on here, just none 'here.'
Krazie yes a lot of great people here,reading the forums you get to know people somewhat and although they may be virtual? they are real when we need interaction and somebody is always home,and the differences of opinions are so cool,have a nice evening.
After reading all this I forgot what I chose for my vote....lol I know...it was I know what I want & won't settle for less.
I almost settled about 4 years ago, figured it out after about 4 months though (before getting rings...lol) Yeah, I know, that's awful fast. The man I was married to for 17 years I only dated for 6 months before we got married. And spent those 17 years trying to make him happy & trying to make the changes he wanted.
Found myself again over the past 10 years....back to the independent, strong person I was raised to be. When you're a military brat, there's basically no other way to be...when the male presence is gone for 6 months at a time, there's no one else to do what needs to be done. My mom set a good example. And my dad taught me a few things, like how to change a tire & I can change my own oil, just prefer to have someone else do it (Wal Mart...lol)
But I tend to agree, if a guy sees how well I can handle the stress of day-to-day living he may be put off & feel that he's not needed. What he doesn't know is there are oh so many times when it would be so nice to let someone else handle things....like the way I broke down & cried when I had to call the carpet restoration people for a 2nd time while I was using the shop vac to suck up water from the washing machine (they'd just been out 2 weeks before).
So guys, give us strong independent women a try, you might be pleasantly surprised at how nice it is to have a woman who doesn't fall apart & can handle things.....but who can also turn the control over when needed.

Wow, I'm still learning new things. I never thought of it in that way.
irishlass45: I think when we limit ourselves geographically we limit fate,who am I to say where fate lays?
Before I made my move to Redding, I was up & open to move anywhere, basically because I didn't really have anything to tie me to where I was at (was renting)....but now that I own my home, it's a little different. Because it's not a simple task of just up & selling or even deciding to rent my place out. I have a silent second that comes due either when I sell, am no longer using it as my primary residence (i.e. renting it out), or the mortgage is paid off. The way the market is right now, I would lose a LOT of money if I were to sell to move to be with someone....so there's more thought that has to go into things. It could end up being easier for a guy to come to me...lol (waiting...lol)
In response to: )....but now that I own my home, it's a little different. Because it's not a simple task of just up & selling or even deciding to rent my place out.
Same here, But mine is paid for in full. And I sure am not going to move to where I have to pay rent or pay for someone elses home!
But if I find the right one, She is more than welcome to share this home.
Once remodeling is all done, then I wouldn't mind selling and moving. as long as I can pay cash for another home.. I want no debt

Understood,that is why a relationship should be ideal,not convenient,good luck.
I am not prepared for that, because I had bad experience. Because of that I become......too complicated, and I become very good in: “How to run away all mans from yourself”
