Posted: 7/9/2005 6:55:49 PM | Its better to be alone....being alone gives you what you need to understand who you want in life.....when jumpin from one relationship to another you never give yourself the breath, the air to develope an understanding towards what your are lookin for in a life partner...You should always ponder on every relationship you have wit another soul...you can always benefit from anyone who places footprints in your heart....  | |

But hey this is America, this place stinks to look for any type of relation. Plus not all men think about sex, some of you women enforce it so just shut the f*ck up. I would just move to a better country rather than stay alone. Waiting isnt going to help at all and I think half of the people that said they rather be alone is just afraid to admit they hate it . Hmm some of you women look familer have you ever been on any of those dating shows like "Blind Date?"  | |

Posted: 7/10/2005 7:13:28 PM | | off What can I say, I'm a people person and think everyone is valuable and worthy of respect and love in some form, that is until they make it impossible by being....whatever. I've had some very precious and wonderful friendships with married men, one who had been separated for years and moved into my neighborhood one who hung out at our neighborhood pub. They were both early sixties, and nothing sexual at all, just great friends, loved them to pieces and our friendship meant so much. I offered a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, and they offered the same. Had many laughs a few tears and a great time. | |

In elementary school we didn't have crushes on each other because we thought this boy or that girl would make us complete, or because we were afraid to be alone, or because one boy/girl had more potential over the other.
So perhaps a rhetorical corollary to the question would be: Do we choose to be alone (or tease those who are not our type) because we're waiting for something, or are we simply full of sh&t?
I mean really, what exactly IS this galactic Soul Mate we are waiting for? (Hey I'm single too)!
Are we in love with our infatuations? Are we in love with The Idea of being in love?
"Not settling" sounds like we're buying into some marketing message - a slick and seductive notion that we deserve (and will possess) a person who will make us whole. Make us Whole? What is wrong with who I am? When did I start thinking I was incomplete?
Perhaps expectations are only artifacts from broken relationships. A ghost hunt, really. | |

Translated it means... It's better to be alone, than in poor company. So I will defer to the French in this instance....alone is probably best. Even though you may not enjoy it much. | |

Anyone can get a partner within a few dates If they want to settle. A lot of people do this but they are also the ones who have endless relationship after relationship fail. And a lot of people dont even know what real love Is as they have always done the date wait and it will grow thing. But anyone whos had the OH my Im Blown away from the start wouldnt settle for less.
Now only thing that worries me with this Is Ive had that feeling twice ONLY In 5 yrs and Im not with either man .. I may be 50 before I find one who feels the same back  | |

This doesn't seem compatible with the human race continuing to reproduce. This could get serious and I'm getting worried...alright I'll settle...but just for the sake of the survival of the human race and maybe a nice spaghetti dinner once in awhile. | |
