Bad luck. Getting to involved to fast. Trusting somebody to fast.

I'm the opposite Irisheyes.....I don't open up enough and I send out "just friend" vibes.....or so I'm told......far too often.

Total complete fear. Fear of what you ask? Farrrrr to many things to say here, but just too much fear of sharing on any kind of deeper level in general, it holds me back in the worst way, but I am working on it.

Fear is the #1 thing holding so many of us back,but in time we all put that behind us and find the one we are ment to be with.

Is there really only ONE thing that keeps any of us single? Really? Why do I think I am single? hmmmm

1. Some men (I'm not saying ALL - just A LOT) are superficial and judge a woman based on only appearance. I'm no beach bunny and considered an italian chubby. (after having kids I have not been able to loose all the weight yet - but I do put in a lot of effort despite it all) If a man could actually look in to my heart and my soul - I'd probably win him over right off the bat every time.

2. Extremely independant (I never ask for help unless I have no other option - which is a rarity)

3. Extremely cautious about who I am around or with. (dating wise no one yet to date has ever met my children... I am cautious about that one after seeing what other people do by bringing men around thier children too soon. My last relaitonship was over 3 months and he never even saw a picture of my children)

4. Trust - I trust to some extent - but I am always onguard! I won't believe everything you tell me just because you say it is so. I do my best to never ever lie or even fib for that matter, but I have learned that unfortunately - that seems to be my policy and not a lot of other peoples'.

5. Last and formost (pffff I am sure there are plenty more - but 5 top the list ) I am strong willed and have learned from prior relationships that ignorance is not bliss - I WILL NOT - I SAY WILLLLLL NOTTT put up with anyone's B.S in any way shape or form...if I have to question someone's loyalty, honesty, etc..... I usually won't even bother asking questions, and if I do and I don't get an answer I feel is truthful...BOOM that's it - you're hittin the curb with skid marks on your ass...end of story. So far to date I have never given any mAn a second chance who haS seemed to be (or proven to be) unfaithful or a liar. If I have to question it in the first place...something's off base to begin with.

I end up single because of trust issues. I often wonder if its because my parents both died by the time I was 25 and I've had to take care of myself and kids for all those years. I have a very tough exterior, but a major heart of gold. I'd give my soul to the right guy but its hard for them to see that sometimes. Plus I deal with depression. UGH.

Plus I gave my heart to the one that didn't deserve it.

I cannot find anyone (and I mean ANYONE!) who cannot get past my weight.

YES< I AM doing something about my weight but I have had lots of guys tell me they are interested yet never ask me out (they are always too busy or have a similiar excuse).

I put very little effort into actually meeting someone. I never go to bars, clubs, parties etc and when i do go out it's to do things that I want to do, so meeting someone at a function that I purposely attend is very unlikely because i'm there to pay attention to something else.

Plus..I never "chase" a woman... if they want someone to chase them they can play with my dog, he'll love it.

woman play too many games.

it will happen when it happens.

After kicking around here for awhile, I think I have a new perspective on this one...

For those of us who are genuinely looking for someone, I think we tend to look for someone with qualities that we wish or hope to possess ourselves. After all, who we're with reflects something about ourselves, right? So here we are, in search of someone who exhibits what we want to be and in the meantime, those people are doing the same. In the end, everyone is in search of something that isn't realistic. If we stopped that kind of madness and simply opened our eyes, many more of us might be happily attached.

I don't think anyone should ever settle, but I also think that some of us are far too picky for our own good... The internet gives you the impression that there's always someone else out there if you aren't 100% happy. But what if part of being in a happy, healthy relationship means that you welcome compromise and not only worry about being happy yourself, but putting a smile on someone else's face?!? What happened to simply appreciating good company?

So I guess that's why I've been single for awhile... I've been searching for the impossible because it's safer that way instead of taking a chance. I think it's time for me to be a whole lot more adventurous...

Interesting thread folks,

I guess I am with greanize,,, I guess I have yet to meet someone that it is a mutual thing, and for me it has to be deeper than just physical lust,,, which is fine,, if that is all one is looking for,,,

For me, a lot of the time, I can't read the signals,,, I just think they are being naturally friendly and just looking to be a pal with me,,, nothing else. Plus, sometimes with men that I am interested in at least, I tend to be private, (not shy, which is different), just not revealing enough of myself to interest a guy I like enough I guess,,,plus I am looking for a strong personality who is not scared or intimated by a woman that is strong, confident and self-assured in who she is and strong and confident about her sexuality.

OOPS,,, I forgot to add another reason here, I am having a blast being single, enjoying spending time with friends (YAYYYY for patio nights) and just doing stuff with my really close friends,, just having fun, and not really in any hurry, if it happens, it happens, if not, that is fine too,,, LIFE IS A BLAST

Life is a wonderful ride, meant to be enjoyed, use up your body not to go plodding along, afraid to do anything, in case you get hurt ,,,, and a slip slidding ride into the grave,,,, yelling 'WHAT A RIDE"

Main thing is keeping me signal is making those choices .We create a wall around us and look to make things real to which we desire. Where open on who we are but sometimes people think it's a game rather then being serious on whom we appear.I find being open doesn't always help ,but it gives us more credit to wards ourselfs .Friends stick yes but they have seen both sides but then again the chemistry must appear before we generate farther into those steps .But for know we keep the faith it's just a matter of speaking.And be who we really are in front and behind the keyboard .We all would be more at ease if we really found what we want out of life.But most times we ecnore those possibilities.

1. This is prolly the NUMBER ONE REASON: Im too DOMINANT. Im a take-charge kinda of ALPHA MALE (not a jerk about it tho). This means I'm in charge in the relationship. It doesn't mean i DO NOT RESPECT your opinion--in fact, i VALUE your OPINION. However, it does mean I'm running it--in the bed AND out. Relationships dont need EQUALITY they need BALANCE. There's a difference. Now, give me your hand and let's go! Are we clear on that? Kool.

2. Women who like to PLAY HEAD GAMES get ticked off because i dont play along with their bulls***

3. Im not into trying to buy a woman's affection (w/drinks, dinner, false compliments, etc just to have sex). Like me for who i am or move the hell on. I, for one, like women with big butts, however, the SOUL / SPIRIT of a person can be SO ATTRACTIVE on a woman--OMG--yes!, regardless of color, height, looks...BE YOURSELF and let's see what happens (just remember im running it )

4. I don't chase women with enuff effort, i guess. I'll say hello. After that if the woman is beating around the bush, playing head games or some crap--Im outta there.

5. I'm always keeping it real. REAL TALK. Why mince words, beat around the bush. Say what's on your mind so i dont have to guess what you're thinking. I certainly will put it out there. We can agree to disagree with respect and go our separate ways or resolve the issue at hand in a productive manner and move on in the same direction.

PEACE AND HAIR GREASE!!
