Humm speaking of set in ones ways...Ya I'm pretty much set in my ways...I have lived pretty much alone besides my kids and two differnt boy friends that lived with me less then a year total for both for the last 21 years...I like the way I do things and when I do them... Not saying I detest changes just saying it is what works for me....

At times I do feel that I have lived alone so long that it would be hard to live with others... Have not found one yet that seem to work...

To the point I would prefer they have their place and I have mine..:thumbsup:


I believe we should all just be comfortable...Change is beautiful, but if you are happy, why change anything at all?

True Fear, change can be a beautiful thing....but as you get older those changes come farther apart then what they did when younger....

I actually dated one guy for 12 years he had his place I had mine worked out great...

Not saying I will not try new things and change a few things. For I do from time to time just nothing that is drastic...

I guess I can be set in my ways now. I think too many bad experiences have made me afraid sometimes to take risks when it comes to certain things. Sometimes, I hate that I've become that way, but somehow it feels safer at the same time.

I used to be....

But, I put in my notice at work after 7 years....

I am moving at the end of the month to go love my woman.

I am starting my life again.

I am ditching my house and everything but my dog, my clothes, my car and my bank account.

I am nervous as an epileptic...

But, I got a good feeling that changing my life is gonna be a good thing.

Bu, if I don't take the risk of being happy....no one else can be happy for me.


not sure how "nervous" an epileptic can be, or is,
but i think this a risk worth taking!

happiness to you both.

I am set in my Christian ways unless you can show me in the Bible where I need to change.

Change is the only constant in life.

That's great news Krupa!!! I wish you and Sophie the best and a long life together!!drinker flowerforyou


As for me, I won't be set in my ways until I die...lol I am always open for change.. I think you all know what an adventureous lady I am, always doing road trips and flying high (ballons and parasailing), riding motorcycles, etc... Not giving any of it up anytime soon!

Have you become "set" in your "ways?"...My husband passed away 2 years ago and I'm wondering if I'm becoming "set" in my "ways" due to living alone...Guess it's easy to become this way. What do you think? Thanks.


Yep, I am set in my ways and will never change. :banana:

I guess one could say that I am set in my ways. But. That could change if the right woman came along.

It's good you recovered.

As I think about it...

being comfortable and safe and secure in established patterns ain't a bad thing....my life has been really good in solitude. Lots of people have told me they envy me.

But, it wasn't living....it was existing. Snails do that too.

Don't get me wrong...I have never had a day that I was not loved....for which I am very grateful.

But, I am greedy and I want more.....and by God...I will take more from this life.

So, I am dissconnecting the dots of my life here out in a field in Texas....and I am throwing it to the wind.

Cause real happiness awaits me if I just have the guts to step up nd take it.

I am done with what has been my safe and lonely past.

I am diving head first into the unknown....cause love awaits.

I feel like I need to pee everytime I think of it.

:)

YUK! I don't want to be stuck in ruts and routines day after day...Makes me feel like a robot!.. I don't want to go from "point A" to "point B" (etc.) with nothing in-between!

Some ways yes, but everything is changing around me constantly so I'm not really allowed to be settled in. I think there are certain things my mind is set on regarding friendships and relationships. I am set on my desires and I will not compromise what I deserve. Bt if someone told me I couldn't watch my reality tv show, which I am set in those ways....I would oblige. Sometimes we need someone to pull us out of certain habits that aren't necessarily bad but non productive.

When I was single roaming San Francisco w my kids, this couple was there I didn't know them, but they were like it's our first vacation on our own, meaning. Without all their kids. I had my three kids but I said, it was our first vacation alone, without my ex husband. They were so romantic, they said good for you! They also said the second marriage is always better than the first because you know more of what you want and what makes you happy. They were strangers to me, but they were so romantic and gave me hope. At our ages , well I'm upper 30's it's harder to find that special someone and be totally vulnerable to falling in love all over again. So cheers to you! Wishing you the best! drinker
