 Well, that's good to know. I would hate to think I destroyed an entire thread on my very first post.  I don't see where they allow you to preview what you post before posting, so I hope I did the quote ok. | |

Posted: 3/15/2006 9:14:08 PM | | I've spent more than a few Christmasses alone, and that's gotta be about the worst. Then again to someone like myself Valentines Day alone is about the worst :>( | |

Posted: 3/17/2006 6:09:52 PM | Personally, I do not like any restrictions being put on what I say at any time. If I refer to my ex and my date freaks out cause of it, I won't mention it to my date again but then I won't date a woman that freaks out.
I have my memories and good or bad I want the freedom to share them.
If you don't like the direction of the conversation, change it or disengage with respect.
I find most are curious about the horror stories and think you're holding back if you are reluctant to speak about it. | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 4:01:59 AM | | I agree with wrenchspinner. I think Valentine's Day is the worst holiday to be alone. Most other holidays you have family and friends around; V Day is for lovers and happy couples. While I'm happy to see my friends receive flowers and other gifts, it hurts to know I'm alone. Juli | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 7:45:32 AM | I could see Valentine's day being the worst. But personally, I find the "Holidays", especially Xmas tough. Seeing people with their significant others and families, combined with the fact that my son isn't around much now that he's grown, and add to that the last few xmas's I've managed to not be "with someone" makes xmas pretty tough. To the point I'd rather spend it alone and move on to 12/26.
But that's all the result of my decisions, obla di obla dah. :) | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 8:22:03 AM | You are definately meeting the wrong people or looking in the wrong places. I am 51 and would love to have someone just to talk to, call or watch a movie with. Who cares about sex when you are this age, a good hearted 50+ person would welcome it in time however it should not be number 1 on their list of things to do with you.
I did all the running around anyone should be allowed to do before I was 20.
Freedom... after about a month of being alone just to have dinner with someone is welcome. I have things that I like to do however hopefully that special person that I meet will also enjoy those things OR allow me the time to do them while they do their special things.
You need to let that special person find you... perhaps this is the place, not a bar or other type of drinking establishment.  | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 8:35:39 AM | You think Valentines Day is bad, what if that was your birthday too ! Hey, life goes on. I always made it a habit to buy something for my other half (when I had one) on the 7th or the 21st, a week before or after... that way leaving my birthday open.
Thank God I wasn't born on Christmas !! | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 9:57:06 AM | | Awww...that's so sad!! Although I disagree...loneliness to me is self inflicted. I get bored occasionally, but very seldom feel lonely. I have my children and my friends around. I also have my family {6 sisters} and their kids. I also have my coworkers. I don't have a S.O. in my life but I am still very much ok with my own company. It is all about ones perspective on life and love. | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 11:46:37 AM | Sorry, friends, family, children etc. are great. But in my opinion, or more correctly - for me, I like having a significant other. I am fine with my own company too. You can disagree, but that doesn't make you correct for anyone but yourself. Plenty of people live a full and happy life without SOs, but some people rather have SOs. That's what makes horse racing, different people like different things.
Now, if you're staying home, and not trying to meet someone, and you want to meet someone, that's self inflicted.
Otherwise it's just bad luck. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 10:03:48 AM | I myself am happy with the way things are except I do miss the compaionship. I don't go the bar scene but get out a lot. This is a small town and not a lot to do. Plus this is a town where everyone knows everyone else or are related to everyone. In my line of work thats not good. Therefore finding someone in this town is very slim. Thats the only reason I came to this site. I am retired now so I am able to up and leave when I want. Should I find someone from somewhere else, I'm outta here. Until then I'll just get on my bike and ride and travel.
Would be nice to have that someone to travel with though | |
