PS.. I wrote this thread after seeing some pics of the weddings of two couples that I worked with on the cruise ship... and I guess I began to feel a bit down when I thought of the possibility of that not happening for me!
ok.. I guess the most common thing said here by posters is to get to doing stuff that I love. I guess I'm gonna have to start finding some things that I love... I know I love to travel, but that's quite expensive and here in my country well, its not safe to move around alone.
I do have kids and so I am not alone. Lonely? Yes, cause I dont have single friends anymore.. the few real friends I have had in my life are now married and have no time anymore to do anything. I guess I'm just gonna have to find a way to find some new ones.
Thanks everybody for leaving your thoughts and comments.. its all appreciated!
Ok.. in April of this year, I would have been single for 3 years. I've had a couple serious relationships throughout my life but have never been single for more than 1 year, until now!
Sometimes I wonder if nature is cursing me! Sometimes I wonder if there is something that I did wrong (and there were probably a lot), to warrant me being alone. Sometimes I wonder if its my destiny to be without a life partner?
I cry sometimes when it gets really bad. I feel like I should stop wanting a relationship / companionship but then, it is so hard sometimes to just stop thinking about it.
Does anybody out there have any advice?? I could really use some right now!
Hey can I take you up on that offer (although it was not intended for me?).. I would love an authentic recipe for Ceviche.. I had this when I visited Cozumel in 2007 .. and I loved it!! But I would rather have a real Mexican tell me how to make it!
How many of us can truly say that we have been hurt but we have healed? How many of us can truly say that we have let go of the past "mis-fortunes" in our lives and that we are ready to go on to a New Adventure?
I have been hurt on countless number of occasions and I have gotten back up and started over, most times without healing. So, poor things, the new boyfriends would always get the remnants of bad feelings from the ex's.. lol.. No wonder it didnt work out each time.
Being out of a relationship for the past 2 and a half years, I can now say that I am truly ready again. No holding on to the past, no remnants of hurt or pain... just a readiness to accept whatever is new and wonderful out there to experience...
Any woman who wouldnt date a single dad has probably got something else on her mind! As for me, a single father is someone who obviously knows and respects the responsibility which he has been giving as a father. Whether by choice or by force, single parents are great partners (in my opinion).
Hi there... sorry to hear this about your condition. I wish you all the best and I will keep you in my prayer. I have one suggestion though, maybe if you dont claim the condition as YOURS, it may not stay with you! I dont know much about MS but I do know that words are so powerful!
I went to the Canadian side as a child.. on a trip with my dear old dad (now deceased).. Was really scary. I would love to go back though, want to experience the Maid of the Mist (if that still exists).. does it??
In my 35 years of life, I have probably shed more tears to last me three lifetimes!
I've cried losing parents and a child to death.. I've cried over broken relationships.. or situations that prevent great relationships.. I've cried looking at people in horrible situations when I know that I complain about mine, which obviously isnt as bad as theirs.. I've cried at the birth of my kids.. I've cried while being touched by a supernatural power whilst I'm deep in prayer.. heck.. I've even cried watching Karate Kid (the recent one)..heheh..
As most of you, I've had my share of tears and I'm thankful for them all! They've only served to make me the person I am today!
Thanks all for your comments. However, I dont feel "pain" because of this situation and I havent lost any sleep over it! I have simply chalked it up to another experience in this wonderful but extremely complex game of life!! It doesnt mean I will fall of the face of the earth and die because one man was not the way I thought he was... Heck I lived with a man for 5 years and he still confused me up till the very end!
Life is like this sometimes.. but what can we do but live and learn!
Have a great time all.. and good luck to each of us who's looking for love! lol..
Lucy.. I am tired of trying to "fix" .. lol.. I would really like to meet someone whose faults and flaws I CAN live with.. I dont want to have to try to fix anyone ever again.. If its something that I cant tolerate then really, it wont work out. And as I get older, the list of things I would "tolerate" has become a lot less, so I dont think it would be too hard to be in a relationship with me! lol
I asked.. while we were there.. actually we had more conversation online in one night (while we were in NY) that our entire face-to-face. Anyways, his reason for being so quiet was that he had perpetually afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing.. He said he kept trying to speak but could never get the words out! That's kinda sad I think.. and a bit hurtful to me cause I am someone he's been talking to every single day for the last 6 months.. so I would think that he would be a bit more comfortable.
Ok.. so I took a trip to NY recently for a two-fold purpose. One was to visit my brother and his family and the second was to meet this guy from CS with whom I've been communicating (including chatting everyday and skyping twice a week) for the last 6 months...
So my brother was kind enough to pick him up at the airport, take him to check into his rental apt. and then take us back to his home to have dinner. My friend (from Vegas) said practically nothing throughout dinner with us. My sister-in-law tried to comfort me by saying that maybe he was jet-lagged and overwhelmed with the new city and surroundings. I accepted that and hoped for the best on the next day. Well, my dear people, this man never got over his jet-lag, cause for the next four days, he remained silent and quite without the personality that I had begun to get attached to on the internet. What a disappointment!!
We have chatted twice since our trip but its just not the same! I think I was getting attached to something that wasnt even there in the first place. Oh well, maybe next one!! I'm just getting really tired of this entire quest to find a partner / soulmate!
