Marriage is something people don't take seriously anymore. Don't get me wrong, there are people out there that do respect the true meaning of it. It is a sacred bond between man & woman, that they committ themselves to each other for the rest of their lives...hence the phrase "death do us part". Some don't spend enough time together before they jump in, and then realize it's not meant to be. Thinking things out is crucial....look before you leap.
When I go shopping, I usually know what I'm after, so I don't mess around. There are the times when I'm at a sports store, or automotive store, where I have to look around of course
I work for Whirlpool Corp of Marion (dryer factory), and due to my physical stature, I do physical work for 8 hrs a day. I play on a men's softball league on the weekends, and occassionally work out thru the week. I'm usually on the go, I rarely sit around and do nothing.
I've been single myself for 2 1/2yrs, and I ponder similar questions myself. Even though it is tough, persistance and patience is very important. By no means give up.
Smooth, that goes both ways. Single mom's and dad's get this a lot. I think some don't want the "baggage" so to speak. Some don't like kids, or want kids of their own, not someone else's. It can be a lot of things. It takes a special man or woman to accept someone elses kids, and yes, they're out there.
If I were to meet a girl with kids, big deal. They are part of the deal if I wanted to be with their mom. My dad (stepdad), has been a part of my life for over 20yrs, and I wouldn't trade him for anyone else.
My hat's off to you Smooth, take care of them little ones
I was once engaged, a little over 2 1/2 yrs ago. I found out she was being unfaithful, so the engagement ended. She was the only woman I had ever proposed to.
As for being asked, I've never had that happen.
I do hate the feeling of rejection as well, but you never know unless you asked. You got a 50/50 chance.
Thank you all for the warm reception, I do miss my daily visits of the past. Hopefully I'll get a computer, so as I won't have to come to the library to get online. I did recently go to first shift, after almost 4yrs on 3rd. I think some changes in myself and my life has made me become a better person. Getting myself past the emotionally distraught times has allowed me to open my eyes and see things in a whole new perspective. I'll be around from time to time, hopefully more frequent in the near future.
Hello all!!!! Yes, it's been quite awhile since I've dropped in to say hi. I've been working, playing softball, fishing, working out, ect.... Still single, but I have been trying to work on that. I've had a couple dates, but not much more. I've grown tired of being annoyed with the single life, and am just living my life to the fullest as I can.
thought I'd drop in to see what's up. I'm at a friend's house, and took over the computer for a little. I've been out on a couple dates with a couple girls, but still am not attatched. My softball league starts sunday. I've had a lot going on, but I've been keeping the positive outlook, what hasn't killed me makes me that much stronger.
awwww......Wavey misses me
sorry mate, haven't had the computer acces I once had, so it's tough to keep in contact with everyone like I used to
it's about time to go out on the prowl for the night, lol. ttyl
Been running ramped lately. Been shopping around for a new place, with many potentials. I just got done spending almost a thousand$$ in my truck. I had to put new tires, fuel pump, filter, relay, oil change, ect..... I have went out on a date with another gal. Things were ok. I may go out with one 2morrow, maybe, haven't gotten things 100% sure yet. Just playing the field.
not sure what else to say at this point. things have been stressful, but yet I'm doing ok. I hope I can be more active here when I can. miss all my friends!!!!
I'm at the library right now. I took the gentleman's advise and decided to check it out.
I've got a couple places to check out. I've got money on the way from my 401k to have my deposit, ect... I've picked up a few items for my new place....potts, pans, dishes, ect....
I finally went out with the gal I talked about, this past friday!!! Things went well, and I think there's at least a second date in the works. I am taking it step by step, not rushing in at all. I have a couple of potential dates in the works as well. Not being a player, just exercising my options, I'm single, no harm, right????
I think the recent events have taken place for the good, me getting a place of my own (no roomates to screw me over, ect...)
I guess for now, I'll be goin to the library more often, can't get rid of me that easy!!!
Oh yeah, I have the computer here for at least another day, so I'll try to pop in here and there. I gotta do some laundry, go to the store, and pack up some of the things I'm not using, so it'll be easier when I get into a new place. I have the rest of the month to find one, so it's not like I'm being thrown out or anything. I already have 3 or 4 to look at soon.
Not totally gone yet. The compueter hasn't disappeared yet. I have a new place to look at hopefully today. I miss you all as well, thanks for the concern
Shaun
windy... you can still keep them lined up, I'll check in as much as possible

I'm sorry to hear that. Keep your chin up, things will work out for the best. It may have not been meant to be, only time will tell.
