Single And Hating It

[mockturtle]

When I'm in a crowd of people, I feel the NEED to be alone.

Exactly!<br>

give it some time Drifter, you may learn to love being single. i sure do! don't think i can ever go back to a life of being told when it's time to eat or&nbsp; poop. also i think it's pretty hard to find a match by posting an online ad.&nbsp; there was a time when i tried the online dating thing. met a bunch of desperate women who starting talking about being in a relationship at the first meeting!! not to mention they didn't look like their pic. <br>

</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">You logged into a dating site--and the women were desperate? LOL</p><p style="margin: 0px;">And dating sites are for the most part---relationship sites.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">At my age&nbsp;I have about given up--but have Matured to know that LOOKS aint</p><p style="margin: 0px;">everything---</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">And BTW--most men are either looking for another mommie or a maid.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I know you have never tried putting on make-up with a gas mask in a one bathromm (home)w/only potty! LOL</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Loosen up---there are some real sweeties out here.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Theres gold in us old</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">annie</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p>

Recently, I got invited by a lady friend to go to this certain restaurant. As soon as she said the words "Hang" and "mixer" I knew exactly what this meant. It meant there would be unbearable crowds where we're meeting, little food (or food that comes in late because service in such bar like areas are notoriious for that), and loud music where you can't hear yourself talk.<br /><br />I said never mind.<br />Sure enough, the next day, I was right.<br />Food was nonexistent and they had to fill themselves with coffee or wine.<br /><br />Sheesh. dodged that.

Hey Drifter!
You might try putting your information on http://www.travelbuddies-mentorsforvandwell.webnode.com (if that address doesn't work email me at [email protected] and I will make sure you get there) it is a new website for people to find travel buddies and mentors. It is not a dating site, but the arrangements that are made are up to the travel buddies. Check it out. It was set up for all those who want a Travel Buddy or a Travel Mentor. Think you will find it useful.

Hello Everybody,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; I need to customize it and make it more homey.&nbsp; It's scary because it's new, but I am excited too!&nbsp; I am hoping that there might be a man out there that would be interested in traveling with me, having a relationship, and is kind of handy/experienced in van dwelling.&nbsp;

Drifter, you are a good looking lady and with this site filled with men, you should be able to find one... or one will find you. Just keep posting so people know about your personality and likes/dislikes. It's like fishing... each post is like casting a line out. Who knows who will read it. But the people on here are correct: be happy with yourself first. I agree. Once you are happy with yourself, then a partner usually shows up. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Just to let you know that Drifter hasn't posted here in 18 months. Don't think she comes around anymore.

 

[livelyzach]

Well,from what I've read /observed from this thread ,its more about others musings while drifting about in their own lives/relationships and less about "Drifter" anyway...<img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" />

&nbsp;&nbsp; I would like to think that Drifter ( what a cool name ) found what she was looking for and is happy ever after!

Try going to a church to find a date. When you start being social in a community setting, partner finding tasks just happen. Also this creates a bonding potential with mutual beliefs. &nbsp;<br /><br /><br /><br />Looking here on this discussion board is the wrong place. Network-network-network is how you find people. Friend of a friend of a friend is the right way to go.&nbsp;

 

[twokniveskatie]

Offroad- never say never! there are some couples who might disagree with you we have even had weddings come out of these sort of discussion boards. ask Sweet Mike!

<span style="font-size: medium;">Finding someone is not easy many of us are set in our ways and some even enjoy being alone, I know I have tried to find someone to travel and maybe live with but no luck good thing I like my own company and find it easy to talk to people I meet keep looking and good luck </span>

 

[WanderingRain]

I consider myself to be lucky already. We sure can't have everything in life.<br />I have friends who have unfulfilled dreams or are trapped in lives they really don't want... but they are married and have kids so they are now committed to seeing it through.<br />I have a relative who admitted to me that they are married to the wrong person. But since they already signed on the line and they have kids... they will be with them for the long haul.<br />Even my childhood best friend who looks very successful on the outside, admitted to me while he was chain smoking that he wishes he could redo his life over and be like me! (that's a compliment for sure) A wanderer who is free to come and go without the pressures of society and life on him.<br /><br />When I think about where I am today, I revel in my wildness and true freedom.<br />I would not exchange it anymore for the usual trappings of success.<br /><br />

I recall a line from one of my favorite poets, peering into his own life, reflecting with a shade of lament<span class="st"><strong><br></strong></span>he remembers:<br><span class="st"><strong><br>"you were once</strong> <strong>strong enough to live alone"</strong></span>
