like throwing in the towel, just saying the hell with it and giving up ever finding LOVE?

Over and over I have heard...there is someone for everyone. When the time is right it will happen. When you least expect it, love will come along.

I can't say that I'm trying all that hard, so it can't be that. Maybe, sub-conseinsly I am. But I have kind of adopted an "if it happens, it happens attitude, it's been like that for quite awhile now.

I've been here well over a year and have yet to ever meet anybody from this site (least of all locals). Have met and made some really great friends. If anything my friends are what keeps me coming back.

I'm just kinda fed up with the whole thing.

But for those that find it, best wishes to you all

develop those friendships outside the internet

Cindy...

I agree!!!! My friends are what KEEP me here, coming back. I think it's been a long time coming...but I am DONE!!!!!!!

I understand!! And, sometimes I think people tell you there is someone out there somewhere in order to placate you, or get you to hopefully shut up and stop dwelling on it!!! Those statements kind of fall into the catagory of rights assumed under the "American Dream" genre. It just doesn't always apply to everyone.

I stayed out of any relationship for over 10 years, definitely was not looking, yet nothing happened, so that adage about finding love when you're not looking is plain bull!!

I hope there is a someone, a RIGHT one, but I'm not depending on it my any means and I'm okay with or without that relationship. It'd be nice, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

I think it only happens in movies!!

Do not give up, Ladies, do not despair. Somewhere out there is a man that would love to call you their Angel, but if you give up before he finds you, or before you find him, then the two of you will continue to be lonely.

I just joined this site a few days ago, just looked at your profiles today. I do not live close to any of you, but what if I did? What if I were the one for you, but you closed your profile even just one day before I joined? I would not have had the pleasure of seeing your picture. How sad.

Never give up your dream of being loved. Look at it this way: what makes the right person special to us, is the fact that we realize just how rare that person is, and how difficult it was to find them.

I think our past experiences has caused us to perhaps set our goal too high. You might ask yourself, "Have I perhaps set my sights too high, wanting too much from a mere mortal man?" We look at a picture, and say "Not for me" or "Pass" or "Next, please". When we meet, it seems the common expectation is to experience fireworks in five minutes or less. Are we really giving the other person a fair chance to show that they are what we are looking for? Or what we can live with / tolerate?

I have no idea what my Angel looks like, not going to limit myself in that way. I do not know where she lives, or what she is like. I just know that when we meet, or perhaps after talking and spending time together, we will grow on each other. I will build my world around her, instead of expecting her to fit into my world, or into my dreams. I will accept her as she is. After all, at our age, we are who we are, and not likely to change in any drastic way.

I wish you all the best of luck in finding your happiness quickly, but if you do not find it quickly, please, do not despair and give up. Somewhere out there is a lonely man looking for you.

Not sure I really want to find someone anyway..I don't have much closet space as it is.

thanks for all the replies everybody....for some I see I am not alone (in the literal sense) of my feelings towards this.

BTW 4mynorthstar...I am very familiar with your little corner of Ohio as I lived there for a short time. I'm a transplant from Ohio. (lived there for 15 years).

CATBW56: This is a beautiful area, and I am hoping to find a woman that loves nature enough to explore it with me. I am so tired of seeing natures beauty alone. I have discovered a lot of creeks, waterfalls, hilltops with a magnificent view, meadows with wild flowers growing, sure would be nice to have someone to share the experience of these discoveries.

It is very beautiful country there.....loved going to the State park there on 33 just before Waverly and even further towards Portsmouth. In any direction you could find hills and knolls and forgive me for this (as I am not from KY) hollers

Maybe you need to use a different towel!

Although I am new to this particular site, I am other singles sites. You might consider, if you aren't already on them, putting yourself on more than 1 site.
The main reason I am on singles sites at all is because I live in a very small community. There aren't many single women my age.
I really don't see myself being single for years. I get pretty self-motivated and risk rejection. I can't begin to count the number of times I have been rejected for one reason or other.
It hurts the ego but, not my self worth. I am secure in who I am and what I stand for.
I hope you do also.
One other thing. A lot of women will wait for guys to make the first contact. If there's some fellow you're interested in, go for it. Send him a note.

Northstar, that was a very sensetive thing to see
and say. Very true, too. I am on this site to meet
new people and find new friends. I have NO expecta
tions in a man, right now as I am not in a place in my life where I can have that indulgence. When that time comes, I am not sure how that will hap-pen, but I do know that good friends will be there to help, encourge, and comfort(if need be)
me.

greer..we're here for ya...as long as you don't get too mushy.
Just kiddin'

If it is meant to be, it will happen.
I don't seek another relationship, just friends.
I make no bones about it, date several ladies & wait till the kids come home in 5 yrs.

I SO enjoy my friends on this site and if it weren't for them I'D GO CRAZY!!!!

Think that is; CRAZYER

We do so love you, too !!!!

I'll drink to that!

Lotta LOVE to all of the site (whatever you call it) FAMILY. That is what so many of us have become.

WE ARE FAMILY


Good title for a song.
