For what it’s worth, I’d rather be alone and lonely than married and lonely.
That reminds me of my favorite single guy saying (which I made up for the record)…“Id rather be single than in a shitty relationship”
Sorry Misnomer I meant no offence by my statement. I become just as frustrated constantly hearing that it’s only normal and natural to be in a relationship and there must be something wrong with me.
As you’ve explained this is not the case with you, but I must admit that I do lose patience with people who are genuinely needy types, those who just can’t bear to be on their own.
Well it is certainly normal and natural to desire relationships and companionship. I don’t know anyone who actually likes being by themself all the time.
Along those lines I have always said it is better to be alone than to wish you were.
Which reminds me of Fiddler on the Roof …
Hmmm, Amazon says it’s not released yet. Oh well, it’s on my wish list so I remember it when they say it’s available.
Thanks d1a1s1 I feel a little better today…Yesterday was just a low one. I am just trying so hard to keep believing that there is a guy for me out there, but I have been stomped on so badly, that I am not sure that it is in the cards for me. But your words made me feel better so I really appreciate that!
And maybe Priceguy has a point. I am certainly not miserable alone. I am quite content.
The thing that really scares the Hell out of me, is that I know how good true love feels and I know how rare it can be. I am scared I wont ever feel that amazing rush of loving someone so much that you do anything for them. That relationship when you can just get Chinese take out and watch movies and be so happy just being together.
I am scared that I would not let myself fall again even if I find love?
I am such a mess. :smack:
Feeling this way just means that it’s too soon for you to contemplate another relationship. Perfectly natural. When the time comes, you’ll be able to fall again. 
This is a fact! The good thing about love is it can come at anytime. It doesnt matter if your in a good mood, a bad mood, or a down mood. Now, sitting in your house may make a bit tough so get out, do things you like to do and hang in there(Im not saying anyone is sitting around the house). Also, keep your eyes open and expect anything.
:eek:
Okay, now I’m just afraid and paranoid.
Sounds like your going to need a few more years alone then!
Not to change the topic too much but it seems there are quite a few singles in this thread. Anyone off the straight dope ever met and dated because of the SD? Should I just start a new topic?
Apparently, yes. Not that I wuld know a lot about that…
Plus a well stocked supply of water, canned goods and ammunition. 
I didnt say you had to spend the alone time in New Orleans!
Don’t forget the Cap’n Crunch.
I think you are right, and for some reason it makes me feel better to hear it from someone else, even though I think I knew it. So a sincere thanks!
And Thank you as well. I think I know this is all true…sometimes I just need a reminder. I appreciate it very much.
I never realised how much it helps to come on these boards with my problems until this past week. You’ll hear ALL KINDS of theories and solutions from so many people that one is bound to make you feel better. Mine was a combination of msmith and quicksilver…if I recall correctly. Ill have to check…dont want to leave anyone out.
Bolding mine.
God, do I miss the sex.
where’s the sexually frustrated, drooly smilie?
