So I'm 29 and I feel like I have a lot to offer someone (or so my loved ones tell me) but I'm having a hard time. Working 2 jobs leaves little time for a social life and being a bigger girl makes me shy in social settings.

I really want to know how to put myself out there. I've tried CL and now this site but I really haven't made any head way. I'm lost about how to find someone.

keep posting in the forums. best of luck.

hello, welcome and good luck

join the forums, make friends, you never know

Just be your beautiful self! Welcome...join in on the forums and have fun!

how often do you check the forums? i seem to get lost in the sauce, so to speak.

Good luck and hang in there...

Just dont try to be something your not...be proud of what you are

i am proud of what i am but no one seems to want what i am, LOL

Posh...

No one wants what any of us are....thats why we are all on here.

Think about it.

i guess you do have a point. i think i'm just getting frustrated and the loneliness is making my patience thin.

Then your not a good nurse...

Join in...post things that catch people's eye...make sure your presence is known!!! Keep talkin til they cant ignore, lol!

nah, i'm not a good nurse and i'll try to be more eye catching. but when i'm more eye catching the ones looking are the druggies and alcoholics! and if i wanted that i could sit on my front step and take applications!LOL!

Mimi you are going to fit right in - gotta be able to laugh.

Just join in the topics and conversations...it is so much fun and we have a wonderful family here...we look forward to getting to know you...click on any topic and go for it...have a blast!

Hi, Mimi!!! I don't know if love will come your way any more than it might come my way. I always joke I feel like a leftover from the Island of Misfit Toys (Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer reference). Dating is so much like the clothes in my closet. Some look good, but don't fit, or aren't the right choice, or are falling apart, etc!!! But, working 2 jobs would make it more difficult to mingle and meet, for sure!!!
So, come play with us to keep your mind off of it all!!!

I'm right there with you girl! I am not the "barbie" type as some men on here want.
If your not skinny, oh excuse me they call us fat girls and tell us to pass there profile up.
I have went to many forums and posted comments and have even started my own. But have not met nor chatted with anyone. It gets discouraging. The men I am interested in are far away. no one in my area. I totally understand the loneliness and inpatience.

If you ever need a friend or just want someone to vent to chat with or listen write me and we can encourage each other.

You guys have been so helpful and your words are inspiring. I'm going to try, and hopefully something shakes loose. If not, you may hear about me on the news:

Hello mimi!

There are some really great people here...most of them in fact. Just jump right in and get to know them. The forums are the best way to do that IMO. Good luck and hope to see you around.

Ok... Ms... I'm in love..lol


Hi mimi,

Maybe there is someone at one of the jobs you can develop a relationship, and spend time with outside of work. Good luck.
