Personally, I need people like Krupa here on this site. That way I always know there is someone around who can tell me when I'm being a dumb@$$.

true (what galendgirl said)

but I was thinking about this thread on my way home from work today and I came to the conclusion that I have kinda given up...I am past the point of NEED to be in a relationship

I might like to be in one, but not if I can't be myself, not if there's any drama, not if I do not feel loved within the relationship

I'd rather plant turnips than "settle"

so I drift - I guess I haven't given up so much as question - "What's in it for me?"

I know I would be willing to invest my whole self emotioanlly in a relationship, but I gotta ask Well, ya, what's in it for me?

Older women get smarter too while they get sexier

He was referring to himself chumly. Are you having a crummy nite?

.....Dude...my penis typed it while I was having dinner. Stop screaming at me.

Yes, I got a lot out of Krupa's post and philosophy on the subject.. he is a strait talker.

It was not written for you personally, but simply about the subject. It was for whom ever.

sky, ol bean, the krupisode was speaking to all the posts he's read. Only meant as encouragement Im certain.

We all wind up throwin a bit of 2 cents on the table. Its not necessarily intended for the original poster.

didnt i tell u to stop that? lol

Just read through this thang....gotta point out a couple things....

Everyone gives up sometime or other. I did. When the right one comes along...all the hopeless futility goes right out the window and you feel like a kid again.

Mingling and making real friendships based on your actual thoughts and personalities is a GREAT basis to lead to an actual relationship......sure beats meeting someone and a month later you are shacked up and a year later you are regretting it.

I have spent alot of time here. Then I spent a solid year yapping with Soufie before I decided to take the chance and let myself be loved by her. Then, we continued to talk for another year before we actually met.

Rome wasn't built in a day. It is easy to get frustrated but, rushing into a relationship just cause you don't want to be lonely is just fkn retarded. If someone is willing to settle for not being lonely....go pick up some drunken skank at your local dive. (she will be the one half drunk at 11 a.m.) ...who knows..it might work and could lead to a lifetime of happiness......But, my bet is three months later you will be blaming your penis for leading you astray while you think "I was better off Mingling"

And I'll still feel this way.

@ MorningSong, I believe a lot in healing from other sources, more than medications. As the proof has always been in the way patients have healed. I think you're correct in your views :). I really don't believe in a pill-popping culture.

Yeah. Its always around the same time too. Sometimes an hour later or so. lol I think its weird that I find that the most predictable.

I never look for dates "up there." Mainly because "local" to me is still a few hundred miles away. At least 50 miles.

I would probably never date anyone from this town. I've actually seen a couple of guys I liked, but they were either married or dysfunctional or flawed.

Some people never get past the idea of simple biology. We no more "need" to be with someone than we "need" to defecate in the neighbor's yard.

most older men I've dated don't engage in the kind of intamacy I enjoy...and that's all I'll say about that...lol, oh and if he's a hopeless case as the OP eluded to, don't need him anyway...rofl
