I would have to agree with you which is what I have been doing over the last year namely working on 'me'. I tend to go overboard to keep busy but that's OK for the short term. I know I have my moments of weakness so I have been avoiding the social scene in case I misstep.I'm curious to see how I...

Hi Kaede, You are spot on. I always 'save' someone and then slowly but surely it comes to light that I have made another mistake. I think deep down I know it from the start but allow it to happen. I have a deep, aching need to feel connected to a partner that I tend to take chances - chances...

Christmas. Serves as a reminder that I am alone. I can't seem to measure up to a standard to retain a relationship. Who sets these standards anyway? I have no problem attracting attention from women, just the wrong ones. It's a pattern I can't seem to shake. I'm so tired of being alone that I...

I couldn't agree with you more Punisher. Since I'm alone all of the time, I only have to pretend at work - it's so exhausting that when I get home I can let it all out. If I did have people over for the holidays, I would be working 'overtime'. Cheers And the same to you, peace.

As lonely as I am, somehow I don't buy into the commercialized Xmas stuff. The family and togetherness is wonderful but rushing out to buy that very expensive video game for Johnny seems crazy to me. I wish you peace and happiness this Christmas.

Hi everyone, I wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday. Being alone and holidays do not mix well with me. While the whole world is busy rushing around at the speed of light trying to find that last minute gift, I appear to be standing still. People like having this time off but I am quite the...

Lots of good advice here, thank you so much. I think my biggest problem is the loneliness. Even though I know it's wrong, I always make the bad choices. I see the pattern and I know what I'm doing but I do it anyway. The whole thing makes me want to quit or do online dating (Yikes).

Thanks everyone, I am trying to look for the basics now. Employed?, own place to live, own a car, don't really need me but wants me. check check check double check. The search goes on.

I came to this site to meet people and try and understand what makes people tick :shy: I grew up with my mom saying, "take care of the ladies, provide for them, protect them, love them. and they will always stand by you". Three marriages and two kids later, I'm still waiting for all of that to...

Why yes I am, whenever I get the chance. Unfortunately life is getting in the way right now. I like to do somethings with a partner and since I'm fresh out of those, hiking is not getting done! Thanks for saying hello.:cool:

I feel like giving up a lot lately. I too have been put through the ringer and now here I am alone with a dog and a big house. Every time I play the nice guy someone rips my heart out. I want to give up and stop looking but a little nagging voice inside won't let me stop. ~sigh

Hello everyone, Just joined your web site and I wanted to say hi. Probably like a lot of you, I'm searching for some new friends and hopefully join in some meaningful discussions. I hope to fill up some of my time and learn something along the way.
