I'm the one who is fixing my issues, enjoying my hobbies and my solitude. My last relationship of 19 years was a very trying time, but I got my kid through it and walking the right road. I will enjoy another relationship, when I am ready. It's taken me a while to remember who I really am. And for now I am happy with that.

I will second that. I'm fixing me and if the time ever comes. I'll accept it. If not, I'm ok

My last relationship ended some 5 years ago. I am open to a new one but haven't really made an effort to meet new people or socialize. I have a few short term personal goals that I'd really like to reach so I figure that I'd put these behind me then I'll really be ready. Of course life has a knack of putting you on a different trajectory. If I met someone that I really connect with and there are great prospects for a good relationship, then I'd make some adjustments in how I accomplish my short time goals. "Lets re-visit this in 3 months time!" doesn't really go down well with a lady that is interested today. I mean, its not like I'm not getting over a breakup, its been over 5 years!

Never mind, I just realized this is a poll question. How do you view polls on a smartphone? I can see the thread and responses, but I cannot see the poll choices.

I tend to attract strange people

- One guy walked towards me at a bus stop, I assumed he was going to ask me something, he kissed me.
I threatened to bash his brains out, thankfully he took me more or less seriously and walked away.

- Another guy grabbed me between the legs at a concert

-My best (Norwegian) friend in Scotland had to be told every week I wasn't interested in more than friendship

- The only guy who did treat me with respect was too preoccupied with work so it faded into nothingness

kilden: Maybe that last guy didn't want to be too forward because he was trying to avoid making you think he was like those other guys.

The first and second guys are crazy. Either you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time or you are highly attractive that they could'nt help themselves. The third guy does'nt attract you maybe because there is something blocking. Our tendency when we are attracted to someone, we mold and adapt instead of being ourselves. That adapting blocks the person from seeing who you really are, so he has nothing to be attracted to. Knowing and being yourself will attract the right person. When you don't care so much, you are more yourself, you are more attractive. Same is true with the last guy, but the situation is reversed. Maybe this is just complicating things. Its could be as simple as he or she is just not that into you.

I knew him for two years via the internet, he claimed he wanted a serious relationship. he promised to come to Norway (as he didn't want me to travel to see a stranger), then he broke all contact :p

Im an affectionate person and all that, and would definitely like to share my life with someone, and have that best friend forever and all that. But at the same time I no longer feel that I must have it, and wont ever be happy until I have it : p

I used to be that way before I came to Christ, though. Was weird now that I think about it : p Thats a big reason why I always suggest to those who let themselves be brought down by this issue to make the Lord their focus, with Him, all the things you feel you need tend to go away : p He has given me a ton of peace : p
Of course it all comes down to them, and whether or not their willing to accept that. But He definitely makes life more simple and peaceful in this regard : p

But yeah, having a best friend would be an awesome blessing, but at the same time if its not the Lord's will, then I accept it : p I have everything I need already.

It's like if you go to a foreign city and don't know the time the bus comes, so you're just there curious about whether you have time to go to Subway or if you should stay at the bus stop. You know it's gonna come eventually but can a man get a schedule please, I'm in the mood for an oatmeal cookie. So you decide its not worth possibly waiting an extra 2 hours to get home if you get caught up in a line and miss the bus. At least you brought your iPod, but you'd probably just be listening to music at home too.

That kind lol

Afraid of riding the wrong bus and get lost? I don't trust trains either, they get derailed. Planes are the faster and safer choice.

I'm the kind of single that has no hope, no expectations, and reminds myself not to dream of finding love because it's just a setup for pain and humiliation like it has been for most of my life (except for those few years in my 20's when I actually got a lot of attention from women).

Next question! :rolleyes:

I don't believe that. Keep the hope alive specially now that your president won, you have a future. :D
