I didn't know craigslist had personals. Being realistic, I doubt very much one can meet their lifemate on a dating site. I think the best anyone can hope for on a dating site is just a friend.
Thanks for the chuckle. Nah, you are not a sentimental idiot. I am not down on love or relationships and I would encourage others to find that person that compliments their life. I just don't have anything to offer at this point of my life to a potential mate. Many would beleive I am selfish but I am putting my needs first. I am involved with 4 bands, 3 part times businesses, doing renos, making costumes, and working a full time job. I am now looking at serving in Afghanistan. So, for all logical reasons, I don't want to try and get into a relationship as it wouldn;t be fair to him. I am not ready to give up on any of my hobbies or work for a relationship.
Thanks for your kindd words, but its not about being hurt; just about opening my eyes. Its all good. I consider myself quite blessed with what I do have and not what I don't.
No, I never said that. Just seeing how bitter other people were about love made me think that I didn't want to be there. I would never tell you that love is bitter and twisted; just saying it isn't for me. I do hope you find the love you are looking for.
I can't seem to make it clear to anyone; its not about giving up, its about changing my priorities. Life is wonderful and I whole heartedly agree. It doesn't stop just because I don't want to love someone. I can do so much good in the world and feel fullfilled.
I am not running away from love because of hurt or bitterness, I have just found something new to focus my life on. Its a good thing and I am happy that I discovered it now before I hurt someone.
No, the other bitter people just opened my eyes. I just know there is much more to life than love and companionship. I want to make a difference in the world and can't do it with someone in my life. Yes, I need to keep my emotions under wraps and doing that with mediation. Its all good.
I am hoping to make a difference in the world by serving overseas and helping those less fortunate. I am not hoping to find anyone as I don't want to put anyone through the pain if something were to happen to me.
Well, not all people were meant to be alone, but some certainly were. I realize some people need that other person to complete their life, but I don't. I have other goals in my life and just don't think that love is what I need to complete me. This is not a bad thing for me, its an awakening.
Yes exactly. I saw the bitterness and it made me think that I would be making a mistake getting into a relationship/love and could end up the same way. Also, it made me think that I am looking for the wrong thing at this time of my life. I have to discover who I am and where I am going. Love would only get in the way.
Thanks for you kind words, but I have more to do with my life. Its not about love; its about discovering who I am. A relationship/love is not going to complete my life, so I have to search out what will.
Thanks for understanding what I am trying to say. I didn't want anyone's pity; I was really thanking those who had opened my eyes. I thought love and relationship would complete me, but I realize there is something more I was meant to do. Its just an awakening for me. Its all good. I am glad you are over you marriage breaking up. There is just so much more to life than love but that is just how I see it.
Thanks for your thoughts but I am not bitter; just taking a logical approach to this. Love/realtionships are a waste of time to me as I see no reason to persue one. I have many wonderful things to look forward to other than love. I am quite happy with my life.
Its really okay. I just decided it wasn't for me. I am not hurt or bitter, or lonely, or any of the above. It was a sound logical choice that was analyzed and thought through. I am not sad, but actually happy. I have many things in life to look forward to; just don't want love/relationships getting in the way. But thanks for your thought.
