Well, to be completely honest, one great date doesn't make a relationship. I recently talked to a woman that I got a long great with, but she was never willing to take that next step.
Even though I'm a very loyal person, unless we have at least a few weeks of dates, I'm not going to quit coming on here and talking to people.
I would probably still visit for the forums here even if I did find someone, because I've made some very cool friends.
I have to agree that dating is for the birds. I just started dating again this year after having taken a break because of an end to an engagement.
So far I've had two women tell me at the last minute they were seeing other guys, and have been stood up 3 other times. I dont' get what is the deal with people but you have my sympathies.
I think our species in general goes for the challenge, even if it is attempting to make someone fall for them when the person isn't interested.
Honestly, I don't have to many specifics as to what I'm looking for. Yes I'd like someone close to my age or younger, that attempts to take care of themselves and is compassionate and understanding.
But I honestly will give anyone a chance to be friends, and the truth is that is the first step to having more.
Honestly I cannot tell you. I keep asking the same question and never seem to get the answer I'm looking for. At least we have friends to message and hear back from.
For me I think it is that I have grown weary of the drama other humans seem to bring into my life. I can enjoy a movie or hiking or what have you by myself with out a friend or family member needing to lean on me etc.

I have to agree Gary. If we pull out with out finishing the job, its Vietnam all over again. But I don't like seeing anymore of our soldiers die.
