Been single for too long
Posted: 9/7/2008 10:18:51 AM
I been single for almost 4 years now. At times im fine with it at time its depressing... like now my b-day is in a week and a half and it always seems to get more depressing during your birthday or holidays. I was married and after the seperation/divorce i had 2 bf's that only lasted 7 months total and a few guys who i was getting to know but nothing was there within the first 2 years then after the last guy dumped me 2 days before xmas i havent even been on a date lol I was kissed once in 4 years by a friend of a friend who drove me home but he just wanted sex and i wasnt going there lol Some days i think maybe im not looking at the right people or in the right places but then i think i dont want just anyone so i deal with no one. I do have some standards afterall lol If i am to be with someone again it will happen at some point i hope lol Born again virgin isnt something i want to be forever lol

Good luck

I've never had a job just flatout handed to me.

Hell, normally I make a bad first impression!

Diligence, perseverance, and patience is what I've had to use to get what I want.

Same goes in the dating world!

But, don't waste your time on jobs that you know you won't get!

but I don't care. I have enough in my life at this point to worry about that trying to find a g/f is low on my priority list. I wouldn't fret too much about it, just relax and take things easy. I think too many people put too much pressure on themselves to find someone. Just take a laid back approach, get your life in order and it will come, but you have to be patient.
That's a good advice to follow. Stop looking altogether.

I have been single for a year, but still positive, open-minded, and open to friendship. Don't listen to the self-pity and instead believe in yourself. Also, I find dating similar to job hunting in the quantity to find quality approach.

I have been divorced for a little over two years. If this i your thought process, you got self issues you should examine. There's no time limit unless you set it. If you do, you are limiting your own potential and stuff.

Two years isn't really THAT long, I've never had a girlfriend and haven't kissed a girl in about four years.
Maybe try something off the wall like speed dating? Or if that's a bit too much try joining a club where there's a decent girl to guy ratio...

I think that you are tired of waiting for someone to come along. Even with the bad economy, don't feel you can't afford to date. It's all down to giving, and what others are willing to give as well.
Look at it this way, would you rather go into something, possibly get hurt with another breakup. Or, would you rather wait a little longer...find the right person.

I know how you feel, my ex boyfriend gave me a very hard time. It's all been easy for him, and he's even married and happy. For me, it's a different story, of course.
