Thanks Astrid23!
I know it's coming from your big warm heart!
May the wishes you whisper come true and make you laugh loud with someone sharing the happiness.:-)

I'll share one Christmas story with you. Not from any book, but from real life...
Many, many years ago in one war-thorn country two young freelancers were stuck in a building that was under such a heavy fire that they could feel foundation shaking.
It was almost Christmas, they were far from home, not knowing if they'll live to see their family ever again. There was nothing there for them but a hope and a prayer and two hands holding each other gently.
They were just sitting there silently and thinking... when one of the people stood up and said: "It's almost Christmas and that's the time when wishes come true. May we survive this and go back to our homes to those we love and think of now!"
Everyone prayed not knowing if that was a last prayer ever. Some people cried and held the photos of their loved ones, some tried to write messages in a dark using just lighters.
The young couple hugged each other and made a wish... which came true years later.
They lived together over twenty years, but never forgotten that night and the lesson they learned.
Never give up hope. Never! Love is the one that makes miracles happen.
Merry Christmas Minglers! When you pray, let your heart speak and wishes just might come true.;-)

Thanks SpicyExcel! :-)

P.S.I hope I posted on the right forum this time? :-)

Interstellar (2014)

I like Mahjong.

It happened to me after more than 20 years. Only time helps. Just be patient, live one day at the time and you will feel strong again.
One morning you will feel ready to open up your heart and your mind. The problem is... many people never experienced a deep closeness and want to substitute relationship with shallow easy come easy go type of companionship, but you will recognize those easily and learn how to deal with them.
I got a bit tired of dealing with those looking for no strings attached sex based relationships, but even if the majority is just fine with it, that doesn't mean ALL (wo)men are the same. So, there is always a chance there is someone not so shallow out there, right?
To be honest, I gave up looking. If it happens - it will happen. If not, I'll live without love and without a broken heart. That's how I see it, but things change. Maybe I'll see it differently in future. Who knows...? Perhaps you will be lucky. You can't know that. Nobody can. So,chin up and keep going...one day at the time...

I used to look for something, but figured I was looking for it the wrong way and on a wrong place.
Mingle forums are so good that I decided to stay.
Some Minglers are really great!

P.S.
I see some people waste their time clicking on my profile. I am not looking, just chatting here, so keep looking elsewhere and good luck.
Especially those 20+ guys looking for MILF or however its called these days. Find someone your own age.

That sounds right SpicyExcel
Although advice wasn't given to me, I still appreciate sharing your taught on this with ESTELLE79 and others on this forum.
Those with bad behavior can be ignored or blocked. We shouldn't allow them to ruin our day. I didn't give up because of them, but for other reasons. Good luck with your quest!

I do not need a hug, but can give one if someone needs it.

After testing my limits again, I need something to do not to think of the pain in each and every muscle. Either I'll finish this renovating or it will finish me. LOL

OK, now... a hug for someone who needs it (without paint or dust - I changed, so ... no worries!) LOL ((((HUG))))

Oh you are so wrong! LOL I read your posts and, no, I didn't forget you joining me at Scooberts bar. for a party of pool.THANKS!
Next time I drop by a nice glass of Cognac is on me. I VERY rarely drink. A shot of Cognac usually follows a small personal victory, but it will be a pleasure to share it with you!

Right... things change...
I'm not too good at pool, but I love that game and miss playing it!
Friends who I used to play with moved out of town (career and other reasons), so ... just one girlfriend still plays pool and she is too busy and not into it as she used to be.
Well...I'll see about this online version. What else can I do?

P.S.
It makes no sense to get into FWB relationship just because I want to play some pool. I tried to invite few male friends, but...didn't work
Sometimes I wish I was invisible. I could sneak into a pool club and play after they close it. They would probably call me "a ghost of a pool club", not bad marketing, right? ROFLMAO

Mmmm! Great! Welcome to the club!
I am seriously thinking about joining online pool site, the one david mentioned:
http://www.miniclip.com/games/8-ball-pool-multiplayer/en/
Oh how I miss pool... either I'll have to make one of my girlfriends come to club or start playing online.
I used to have PC game, but it's not the same feeling as the real thing. Still... pool is a pool.
Maybe it's time to go back to virtual one? LOL

Estelle79 men CAN love and DO love very deeply.
Believe me they can. I should know after living and loving one over 20 years. We didn't have children. We had only each other and I am grateful for every day of what used to be our life!
Unfortunately, such men are not easy to find. I understand that you might have been unlucky so far, just as I was, but you really shouldn't be so bitter.
If you don't see a man around you who might awake feeling of love in your heart NOW, than stop looking for a while and focus on your life and yourself. You can't force anything to happen.
I believe if something is meant to happen - it shall happen, but when the right time comes and if it is not meant to happen it shall never happen. You can't force anything or anyone. Relax... ;-)
Some people remain alone, some find the person they share love with.
If I came to conclusion that my chances to find a special someone in my life AGAIN are very low and gave up looking, please, please, PLEASE ...do not take me as an example.
Everyone is different and has his/her own destiny. Maybe your experience so far made you feel so bitter, but bit**ing won't help a bit. You will be perceived in a negative way, because nobody,men or women likes bit**ing. Nobody!
Maybe it's a good idea to take a break and stop looking for a while. Focus on yourself, your life, hobbies, sports, friends....anything that will help you get rid off these emotions and taught about men that you had no luck with.
Just get them out of your system, recharge and once you can calmly talk about men without feeling so bitter then decide how and where you want to go from there. Don't make any important decisions that may influence the rest of your life while still under strong negative feelings and doubts.
Relax for a while. Think about why things went wrong. You'll figure it out. I am sure you will. You sound like an intelligent woman, so when the broken heart starts speaking stop, listen and turn your brain on till things settle down and doubt disappear. It helps...;-)

((((HUGS)))

Will I dream his costume!?

Oh? So it's not a body art...?? It's just a costume.
So, you think it's you we have to thank for the increased number of hits? Hmmm...interesting...

Without asking if BJ is out of the question?

P.S.
Sorry! My big mouth...couldn't resist. LOL
