Not long ago the life that I new it was gone after 16 years. I felt like long distant runner with no legs. It is hard to start all over knowing that half of the people you've been around were in fact part of your last loves life. What to do, kept running through my mind. So now like a chalk board, I'm going to clean the slate and start a new life all over again.
I'm not a bad looking guy. I am a hard working man with a good paying job. I pay my bills and take pride in the career I've chosen. I refuse to be in debt over my head and have never owned even one credit card, ever.
I can only hope to fine a woman that can be a match from heaven, but I'm not holding my breath. I,ve been burnt to many times,and find it hard to trust anymore. It's difficult to let your guard down to let someone in.

Welcome to Mingles and good luck in your search. I truly hope you find what you are looking for.

welcome good luck have fun an just enjoy the forums

I understand your feelings and have been in a similar position myself. It is not easy being single at this point in life (for me anyway)but it is better than being with someone where one or both of you are unhappy

Welcome to M2. Leave the key to your heart in the door and somebody will be sure to come in.Good luck and enjoy all us wacky folks are here.

Just say yes to everything we ask and you're golden.

Pretty brave to admit all that...I wish you luck in your search.

You got THAT right :) Yes. Welcome. Ok, who stole my meds?

Thanks all for your comments. Now, about being brave bit. I wasn't trying to be brave, just honest. This world lacks it soooo much. It seems that everybody has their own little angle.

Dude you can't just start being honest now, it's not normal. Safe bull chit....this is how things are done through calculated standards. If the world had honesty on their side no azzhole would be unturned, therefore would cease to exist. And I have to make fun of all of them, so...the notion of true honesty remains inconceivable.

I never said I was a kind and honest person, did I. I merely said I was honest. There have many times that I should've not been honset. It would have ended with better result, but oh well it is what it is. Honesty is a double edged sword. Way to many people with "thin skin" in this world we live in. I long for people like my grandparents, oh how I miss them so. The moral and mental fiber that those people had. I see the way people act in modern society, it makes want to regurgitate. Lazy,Fat,selfrighteous, and entitled. Granted there are a lot of intelligent people in this world. They seem to have little to no common sense. people are becoming less social with each other, "RED FLAG". My apologies, just a bit of venting. Well, enough for me tonight, and all I bit a good night.

Honesty is great. A charactor trait you should never lose. It's also part of your core values which you should never violate. If you don't mind me throwing some advice your way, add wisdom on whNottingham speak and when not to speak. Not all homest answers need to be spoken and not all honest thoughts are to be shared openly with people what are not proven to be safe to share with.

I know your pain. Know this.Time heals all wounds is a lie. But wanting and working towards healing is hard and painful and takes a lot of time. But worth it. Keep walking. I assure you, you will get there.

Anyway, welcome to the site, OP! Hope you get over the trust issues and are able to move on.

You're just upset cuz I made perfect sense.
