Relationships are ONLY hard work if you're with the WRONG person.


I totally agree with that statement, and kudos to you!

I kinda like being single; it's not a race. When I find the right one, I'll know it. I'd rather wait for her then settle.

I don't "like" being single. But I would sure rather be single than be with the wrong person just to NOT be single. I prefer to think that for the moment, my "finder" is just in need of some fine tuning and at some point it will become fully operational again and I will stop finding liars and weirdos. LOL

I can't seem to find a man that makes me go gaga.

That's because gaga is what teenagers experience. There's more to finding the right person than swooning over feelings of lust disguised as love because that's usually what that means. As an adult I find there is a lot more to meeting someone who's right for you than some infatuation. I'd wait a long time for a relationship if I was waiting to go gaga. The most incredible woman on the planet couldn't do that to me. I don't have those feelings until I know someone better and grow closer to them. I'm not sure where this rule suddenly came from that someone isn't right for you because you don't fall instantly in love at first sight with them. True love doesn't usually happen that way in my experience. To each their own I guess but I think there are going to be a lot of people in the dating world dying alone with this kind of expectation. I'm not going to be one of them. I've found that my best relationships were ones that didn't seem like anything at first.

Nothing wrong with you waiting for the right person. If that means wait til your 50, OH WELL. Better to wait than feel peer presure from other people and marrying and divorcing later, Enjoy yourself being happy is better than being married and miserable

I think that waiting is great as long as you are waiting for the right things. Waiting to get married because you haven't met someone you can be with the rest of your life is good. Waiting for some arbitrary feeling of being "gaga" seems like a lot of waiting.

Because my broken man picker, seems to have not only become completely non-functional, it's now shorting out the other usable parts of my usually rather in-tune common sense. When one part goes, it's not long until the other parts hit overload. Without a new man-picker, I'm going to be alone for the duration. I just can't take the idiocy any more and I obviously don't do well with a partially working man-picker. There is much peace in one-ness.

THANK YOU!!!! I feel exactly the same way. I will not go out with someone just because they ask, I wont settle. I may not be Miss America but I do have a lot to offer. I just wish to find someone that has SOMETHING in common with me, that I am ATTRACTED to, and that I can talk to. People call me Picky, I say selective and I am not on a time schedule. Time is only relative.

When I fall I fall----HARD---lol and I am waiting on that FEELING again you know those butterflies in the stomach just hearing thier voice or just watching them walk into a room and gleam a big smile cause your the one they want and he stares into your eyes and tell you how incrediable lucky you two are to have found one another..... Ok..lol going off on a tangent..lol shutting up now..lol but you get the jist!

It's simple. Stop "looking" and just live your life. Put out the vibe that you're available, but don't put so much pressure on yourself to find someone, because people can sense that a mile away.

I met this guy from POF for a drink one night and he kept saying wow you shouldn't be on POF, how come nobody has you on lock down etc.

I said maybe I'm not that easy to lock down lol.

He was cool but I found it kind of annoying, he kept going on about it, said you shouldn't be on POF, neither should I. He obviously had issues about it, I don't POF is fun and I'm single, that's all.

I hate it when people say, I'm surprised you are single, how can you be single, why are you single....sometime people just haven't found what they are looking for yet and are single by choice! Just because a person is single doesn't mean they have to be.

Reminds me of the movie Bridget Jones when she said, "oh didn't you know, women in their 30's have scales under thier clothes."

Ok... Im not looking..... (pauses) so why aren't the men banging down my door now???

Though it's boring at times, I find single life isn't so bad. Just think, when you wanna buy something, especially a major ticket item like a new car, the one you WANT, you only have to ask yourself!
Oh, and I eat crackers in bed. Maybe that's another reason, the crumbs get kinda itchy

Im shutting down, but keeping my eyes open.

Kinda tired of the behaviour on this site, you know, when a person initiates contact, a few emails fly back and forth, even a request to make a date to meet, then suddenly nothing, so you send an email (sometimes, other times I just let it go), only to receive a nasty response... hrrrrrmmm wtf did I do?
I don't care if it's a no response to an initial contact, but if a few emails have gone back and forth then a person should let you know what's up instead of suddenly ignoring you.... right?
I guess THATs the real reason why Im still single.
And oh yeah, I also have yet to find a man that makes me go "gaga", and yes, it does still happen. A spark, that ignites. Not a "maybe he'll grow on ya"... pffftt that never works for me.

Rant over.. thanks for listening folks. Please resume your regular forum posting

Seamstress -

I get that too! Why are you single?? If I knew, I guess I wouldn't be single... Friends tell me that I am too picky! I think I just won't settle and I truly enjoy my own company, maybe sometimes too much!

VGE - couldn't agree more, imagine that, some people actually have preferences about what characteristics that "special someone" would have. I am still single and will remain that way because I am old, b!tchy and opinionated - but that's just my opinion, what the he!! do I know after all these years

I haven't met anyone truly compatible for myself. No one could ever possibly understand me more than myself. To thine own self be true!

I'm also getting older, b*tchy, and opinionated. I don't mind staying single the rest of my life. I 'll probably be happier then all the couples I see arguing and fighting with each other all the time.:

CW,

If you are so unhappy with your love life, move to another city. Or just stop dating period.! Stop your whining and putting down other people in order to build yourself up! Is the point understood!

Better yet, maybe a moderator needs to speak with you..
