Quote From: cat172

Great news Cindy - you go and have tons of fun at the party! 

  

I can relate to missing the male company - it does feel good to get attention from guys and it can feel very bleak when there hasn't been any for a long while. 

  

I'm glad you have decided to leave the surprise kisser to call you. By the time he does it may be too late - for him! :-D 

  

A Very Happy 2006 to you too! 

  

Cat172 

Thanks 

  

Have a Happy New Year.  I know I will at the party. 

  

I'm not really worried if he calls me or not, but why is it the ones you want to call, never do and the ones you don't always call 

  

Thans again 

  

Happy New Year

Quote From: juliesokay

I too have been missing the male company. But, I have found it to be better in my case to stay single than to be with another wrong person. The holiday's are hard for the lonliness factor to me. But they pass by quickly. Any how have a great time New Year Eve and be safer.

That is sooooo True!!! 

  

But I did actually meet Mr. Wright about 20 years ago.  I met him at a bar, which I visited about 4 - 5 nights a week.  Yes, I was a lush, but I had so much fun.  Anyway,  I got introuduced to him and we talked for trhe rest of the night.  He asked me for my number and asked me to dinner and a movie, I said no, you'll never call me, I'll never see you again.  Well after about 1/2 hour, i broke down and I gave him my number.  The next day at 3:00 p.m. he called, we went out, and I had the best time.  He did tell me his whole story, that's why I wouldn't give him my number.  On our date, he opened the car door for me when I got in and out of the car; filled my palte when were were at the salad bar and some guy asked how long we've been married? Within one week we were madly and passionately and totally  IN LOVE!!! I never flet like that before or since. 

  

We proceeded to go out for about 1 month, then his separated wife, threatened to put their kids in a foster if he didn't go back to her.  Well, he left 2 week before I turned 21 and didn't tell me.  I was devestated and it took me 2 years before I even looked at another guy.  I even went to a see someone, the thought of killing myself came into my mind only wone.  After I talked to some one, I realized I didn't need to talk to anyone and realized I would be find.  He didn't even tell his parents.   

  

Well, 5 years go by, I haven't heard from him, then I get a call from his mom, saying he wants to see me.  I was dating someone else at the time, so I agree to see him to find out why?  Anyway, we meet , he is on leave from the Army,  so, we meet , talk over dinner, which we never tasted,  then we keep seeing each other and finally he wants to marry me.  He asked me twice, so we did.  We got married and had a short honeymoon, stayed about 1 1/2 months then he was on his way back to Kroea.  I did get pregnant and 4 months later he asked me for a divorce.  He was still in Korea. 

  

So we got divorced, and I have been alone with my son for the last 16 years. 

  

So now he's remarried 

  

So I, know Mr. Wright is out there, but I want him now, I don't want to wait.  But I know good things come to those who wait.  I've been waiting, and I don't want to wait anymore. 

  

Have a Happy New Year!!!

What am I doing wrong?

I've been divorced for almost 9 years now and haven't had but one serious relationship since then....and it ended over 4 years ago!  I was overweight and thought that was the issue so I have dropped 50 pounds (still have about 35 to go).  I thought maybe going back to school would help my self-esteem so I'm now just a couple of months away from finishing my Master's degree.  I own a home and a car and have a great job.  But this doesn't seem to be enough to attract a man for anything.  I have changed my outlook on life and know now that I absolutely DO NOT have to have a man to be happy.  It would just be nice to have that companionship.  But men seem to totally ignore me.  The other night I went out to eat with a group of colleagues and the waiter completely ignored me and took everyone else's order and walked away!!  This is getting to the point of being ridiculous.  I am not invisible!!  What do I have to do to get someone to notice me?  No, I'm not a gorgeous blonde with curves in all the right places but I do have other things going for me.  Are there not any men out there that care about that?  If there are, where are they????

downer friend

I  am married and have a friend who is single and 44. She professes all the time how she wants a man- she feels unimportant without a man. She works at a co-ed gym and no one has asked her out. she is attractive, but a negative person. We go on girls nite out....she is like, NAH......do you want to go here.....NAH........she "keeps busy"...doing  a whole lot of nothing. She is extremely picky and then wonders why she cant get a guy. she hasnt been in a relationship in 3 years. Most of them were attached men also. She goes with her parents everywhere....its bizarre. What will she do when they are gone? she has no independent social life. Then she complains to ALLL of us about no guy!!!!! we dont want to hear it......DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

Tired of Being Single

Quote From: tm81571

 hello its me again, well if i was you i would just ask him if he has a girlfriend first before i start thinking that he has one unless you has said something to you that makes you think that he does. if you just ask him anyways i am sure you will feel better because of one you will know whether he does or dont. two if he does have one then you will know that and you can start looking for someone else. it never hurts to ask a question. even if he does say he has a girlfriend atleast you too can remain friends right? i am still getting over my shyness and sometimes it is hard for me to ask a girl out but i do. i had a girl at a local store come up to me and just started talking to me and everytime i went to that store i would go through her line and she would talk to me again and when i finally got the nerve to ask her out she said she had a boyfriend and nopw when i go in there i still go through her line just to say hi. well good luck!!!!!!!! from texas
Thanks for the advice. I might just do that.

out of the dating loop

Hi everyone! Okay, so I am seperated from my husband of 10 years, whom is also the father of my 3 children. My ex is pretty well the only boyfriend I've ever had, we were high school sweethearts who started our lives together at a very young age.  I am only 27 years old and I feel so out of the loop. I consider myself attractive and confident, I have lots of friends and am very outgoing. I meet lots of men, but none of them are interested after I tell them I have kids. They all just want a bit of the gravy but not the whole meal. I truly am fed up with the dating-scene and all the games that go along with it; however, I do not paticularly enjoy being single either.  Make sense?!? LOL
