Hum I actually welcome being alone at times...Gives me time to reflect on what I need to do. I've never felt that being alone was painful...


Of course we all need our alone time occasionally. I'm talking about being single for a number of years and feeling the emotional desire to share your life with someone. It's an emotional pain, and everyone deals with lonliness in different ways.


I have been single for many years at a times.. Sure at times I welcome having another to share my life with. But have never felt that being alone as painful....

True people do deal with loneliness in different ways... those that that let it over ride their lives would be much better off if they learn to welcome the time alone to reflect..

Being with another can not make you happy if you're not happy within.....



And don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about just "anyone" to share my life with. I'm talking about someone who shares common interests, personal beliefs, etc.

i believe it can work but very few times people fall really deep in love just cause of physical attraction i mean they may have the best sex ever and then that wears off their love falls apart or 2 can love each others looks and hate each others personality when they get to really know each other too thats why myself i look to a persons heart first i mean looks help but heart and true honesty in a person remains way longer then looks cheers good luck :thumbsup:



Physical attraction peeks the interest, but, you are correct that what is in a person's heart is the most important.

Sure I will agree with you ...... we all need time to our selves....
but I have been alone ...... or maybe I should say by myself since 1999
and I find more times then not longing for the touch of a significant
other!!!!!!! I miss it a lot!!!!! But I just have to live with it.ohwell


That's what I'm talking about. And I have learned alot about myself being single for many years, and I have reflected and I AM happy with myself. I know another person cannot make me happy. I understand all that. That still doesn't alleviate the desire to have someone to share your life with.

There are three schools of thought on this:

1.) The empty profile

2.) The cliche-ridden profile (everyone is "laid back and easy going," everyone is "looking for Prince Charming," everyone likes "to go out or stay in," etc.

3.) The profile that actually contains some useful information about who the person is and what they're looking for, and doesn't read like a copy 'n paste of the last 285 profiles you've read.

Approximately 98.4% of all profiles I've seen fall into category 1 and 2.





Well, mine is not a "copy and paste" but just wondering if too much info is a turn-off.

I think there is love at first sight. I fell for a man I worked for the moment I saw him. Got well and truly knocked off me feet. Kept my feelings to myself. The more I got to know him, the more I liked him. No romance at the time as it was work but we had a special raport and could spark each other off. The job we did ended and he went back to America and I moved to England. We lost touch.

Fast forward 10 years. We got in touch and amazingly he came to the UK often to a city not far from me. We started seeing each other. The feelings were still there.

I ended the relationship because I couldn't cope with the LDR when he went back home or elsewhere in the world as he travelled a lot.

Eventually I met and married my now late husband but have never forgotten this man - even yet. He will always have a special place in my heart, so yes, there is such a thing as love at first sight but it doesn't always work out for various reasons.



And had you NOT liked him after getting to know him more, would you still call it "love at first sight"? That was lust at first sight, a physical attraction.

Like I said, it's a different kind of lonely. I get out with friends occasionally but I think most people desire that special "one" to share those things with. Some people have been very lucky in finding that. Others of us, not so lucky. That's why I put as much about myself on my profile, put it all out on the table up front, so only those interested in who I really am will connect.

Love fights for you. You shouldn't have to fight for love!

hahahaha! My daughter knew a girl who made a deal with herself. For a year, she would date any guy that asked, and that within that year she was going to find her husband. She did, in fact, find him within that year. BUT, I don't think I could date just any guy that asked. lol.

The deal is to know your boundaries, and stay within those boundaries. If someone fits within those boundaries, then all other issues should be able to be talked through and worked out.

I talk to people all the time. The lonliness some of us feel is the desire to SHARE the daily events in our lives with someone special. It's NOT a horny thing. I could fulfill that need with a warm body.

SERENDIPITY: a "happy accident" or "pleasant surprise"; specifically, the accident of finding something good or useful without looking for it

Some people mistake physical attraction for love, when in fact, that is lust. Someone can think they are in love with someone at first sight, then when they get to know that person, they aren't so loveable. And the opposite is also true. You may not think a person is all that attractive, but once you get to know them, you begin to fall in love with who that person is on the inside.
