Posted: 8/1/2007 1:32:28 PM | How do you even answer this question?
My answer is nothing because I havent "lost" anything.
Isnt anyone content anymore?
Sure an occasional date is nice and if Mr. Right came around I wouldnt throw him away but I am CONTENT with my life and dont NEED someone to feel worthy. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 1:47:53 PM | | I hate this question. I don't like having to explain what I'm looking for, becuase there are people out there who will take that and try to change my opinions or get me to compromise, or there are the ones who will try to "keep up appearances," so to speak, so I'll date them. I'd much rather get to know a guy and decide from there whether or not he has what I'm looking for! | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 1:49:06 PM | I'm looking for the multiple contacts I have lost over the years, but now that I wear colored contacts at least I don't dig my eyes out looking in there for something that popped out.
I'm also on a desperate holy grail type search of epic proportions to find my sanity. I don't know where I lost it, but someone told me they saw it hanging out with my virginity. If anyone sees these two please let me know.
Hell...I settle for finding another thing I'm looking for...
That "skleener" I dropped into the shag carpeting last Friday night after too many  .
(As I sit here humming "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For")... | |

He isn't vision impaired is he? It would 'splain where my contacts went to...
Maybe I should just vaccum the shag and snort the contents of the catch basin...
Nothing worse than losing a purple double dome into purple shag carpeting after smoking a bowl and looking for it for what seems like forever, only to look up and realize it has been 30 seconds.
Wait, that was a flashback...damn acid...damn you Timothy Leary!
Now I remember what it was I was looking for, you'll have to forgive me I turned 40 this year and...hang on a sec....HEY YOU DAMN KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!
Okay now where was I? Oh yeah...I'd like to just find that little blue pill I dropped into the blue afghan the other night... Best part of making love beneath an afghan is poking your toes through it and being able to move it out of the way when things get too hot... | |

Thank you. I thought I was the only one that hates this question.
When I say I am not looking for anything I get "oh, I get it - you don't have to look, it all comes to you then I guess?" as if I am trying to say I am hot shit or something. In reality, I just don't look actively - my life doesn't depend on "finding someone".
Nor should it. Nor should I care. I don't know. ***shrug*** | |

This question is not that hard to answer IF you know exactly what you are seeking. The only people I find to have a problem with this question are usually people who don't know what they are looking for and people who are not looking for anything. However, in both situations, these people make it seems like they are seeking something when indeed they are not or either they don't know what the heck it is.
The best way to answer the question is to be honest. If you know you're not looking for anything, then state just that. If you know you aren't really sure, stated just that or leave it as simple as I'm looking to hang out and get to know new people and then see where it goes. It can't get no simplier than that. Therefore, no one's valuable time is wasted....by being honest, you are giving the other person a choice whether to pursue things or not. Since I'm not currently seeking a committed relationship, I always stated that I'm looking to get to know new people and see where it goes, meaning that just that, but also mean that I am open to friendship, dating, or a committed relationship.
And by the way, for many people it isn't about being unhappy or NEEDING someone to feel worthy of them, but just maybe they're WANTING someone to share their life with, someone to hang out with, or someone to be friends with.....along with having nice conversations. Have you ever thought about that, lol?

Posted: 8/1/2007 6:47:21 PM | Has anyone seen my keys? I lost them back in May, and I still can't find them...
Have you ever looked in the same spot for something over and over, convinced that THIS time it'll be there, since it wasn't ten minutes ago, or an hour ago, a day, a week and so on....I searched my van three times for my keys (in the same day), each time certain that THAT would be the time I found them...then my son searched the van the next day....sigh. Still haven't found them.
How's that saying go? "The definition of insanity is repeating past behavior expecting different results..."
Guess I better start searching for my sanity, do ya think it's in the same spot as my keys? | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 6:55:30 PM | I too am somewhat content with my life also. But there's a void in it, that I miss, being with someone I care about.
Frankly I'm tired of seeing in all these forums some people that just cannot admit that they are looking for love!
Everyone always just says "I'm here for fun", "If I don't find love, I had fun" etc. BS. And it's just like peer pressure, let's all follow what everyone else says and not admit what we really are thinking. problem is no one can open their hearts anymore. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 7:00:35 PM | | What you are wanting isn't an implication of lacking anything nor is it an indication of needing anything. Want and need are two very distinct terms that have become b*stardized (the censor police caught me) to mean the same things now for some unknown reason. You DO want something, Mr. Right. Does it mean you need him or are lacking? Hell no. | |

Sure an occasional date is nice and if Mr. Right came around I wouldnt throw him away but I am CONTENT with my life and dont NEED someone to feel worthy. Great thread TT. I'm assuming a date asks you this question, or a person who is in a relationship, married or whatever, asks you this because you are single.
It's easy for me to answer; I'm looking for that kind of relationship where I feel I can learn something new every day, where I eagerly look forward to the next day, not only what I'll be doing for my partner, but I'm "energized" by the relationship to relish challenges outside of it (education, profession, hobbies etc.) with the trust and understanding that at the end of the day, I'm coming back to my Someone Special. I know what this feels like, having relationships like this. You can't take that kind of relationship for granted. It's reciprocating and loving; I know that my partner feels the same way, since we developed this feeling together through trust, the sharing of our sincere feelings for each other, and we communicate our feelings, concerns, questions, opinions about/for each other each and every day we share together.
Well that's my "hokie" response when somebody asks me a question like that, and it's easy for me to answer it this way because the answer truly comes from my heart. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 7:15:23 PM | I know it's a tough question to answer, but I think it's important to know, or to have a sense of what you want. Obviously we're all on here to meet someone but what do we want from that someone?
Maybe it's as simple as knowing what it is when you find it? I don't know that it makes sense to have a laundry list - eg. must love rock/blues, love animals, nonsmoker, kind to old people, good values, blah, blah, blah - because let's face it, you might meet someone that is none of those things, but it just clicks and somehow you can make things work out anyway. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 7:31:32 PM | I'm looking for a creative, intelligent, attractive, unique, optimistic (but not too optimistic), good sense of humor, high sex drive, adventurous woman who has the same interests as me (but also different ones, but not *too* different if you know what I mean) who pushes me as an individual but doesn't nag, who is comfortable enough for me to be myself but not so comfortable that I become bored, is slightly kinky yet wholesome enough to take home to mom, who accepts my kid, is interested in continually learning something new but also likes to sit at home at times at watch Netflix....
Really, I can't imagine why I am single... | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 8:30:10 PM | | It's a valid question, but hard to answer... I'm not looking for anything I need to complete me, but I am looking for a friend, someone to cuddle on the couch with, laugh with, play cards with, cook with, share incredble love and make incredible love with, someone to share all of 'me' with. A best friend, a lover, a person who kisses my forehead when I'm down. I am content with being just me, but I long to be a part of 'we'. I suppose most people ask looking for an answer as to what type of person you are looking for, what qualities you want in a partner. I myself don't have a 'type', it's all about how any person makes me feel inside and treats me. There is no specific physical type that I look for. I do however like a man who is comfortable showing affection and does so often. I'll be glad when I can quit looking........ | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 8:53:14 PM | I'm still loooking for that place where I put all the stuff I didn't want to forget about.
I can't find it any more and I can't remember what's in there now,but I am sure I have needed it at one time or another.
That's what I am looking for most of the time when I am wandering about aimlessly.
Besides that I am mostly content,as long as I don't dwell on the lost STUFF ,in the mystery Place!!  | |
