Hopeful Romantic

I am definitely a hopeless romantic. Or perhaps it might be more fitting to say I'm a hopeful romantic. I have always dreamt of wanting to be in a healthy and long-term relationship. For so long I wondered why after so many years, that I never met anyone I liked or felt connected with. It used to made it feel embarrassed as I was often the only friend was who single. But now, I'm comfortable just living life myself. I'm hopeful that I will meet the right person. Instead of feeling down or feeling the need to rush such a thing, I will continue to work on myself, love myself and strive to achieve my goals.

I know the right person will come when the time is right :)

I've always believed you can't look for love, it just bites you on the arse when you're least expecting it!

@lavieliv true... Get on with your life, do the things you enjoy doing.... Look around at those people doing the same thing... There's your pool of prospective lovers ;)

lavieliv · 26-30, F

@ozgirl512 I certainly will! There are so many things I want to do and I'm going to enjoy my life and someday meet others who share the same interests 😄

@lavieliv good... Just enjoy yourself and let the future unfold 🤗

@LadyJ A bunch in my family couldn't find anyone and now living alone in their old age so guess it isn't that everyone will have someone.

lavieliv · 26-30, F

@LadyJ I will be patient and I certainly will never settle.

@lavieliv good for you 🤗

That’s a good attitude and a great way to go about it. Too many people don’t set the right standards for themselves 🙃

@Deadish It really saddens me to see friends only spend time with their partner. Abandoning your friends just hurts and I just watch them slowly lose their individuality.

It's not easy to grow and overcome these obstacles, but small steps are still great progress!

Deadish · 31-35, M

@lavieliv too true. I don’t think it’s very healthy either. A partner should help your individuality grown, not take away from it.

It’s a process but making the right little decisions daily definitely helps to stay on the path.

FCNantes · 22-25, M

@lavieliv I know I'm bereft of friends at the moment, but if 1 of my friends completely ditched me for a partner (without logistical issues), I'd be doing my own break-up! I wouldn't mind less time, especially if a lot of time was spent hanging out together pre-relationship, but a blackout's unacceptable to me.

FCNantes · 22-25, M

My dating profile has "I am a hopeful romantic" on it (also, it starts with "It's not just girls who wanna have fun!" 😁). Also, you're still only 22-26, so it's not [i]that[/i] long. If you're like me & not willing to virtual date or take unnecessary risks, you could be waiting a while more. 😶

For me, being single isn't an issue. What'd be an issue'd be if there was no (theoretical) prospect of starting a relationship.

lavieliv · 26-30, F

@FCNantes Hahaha, great minds think alike 😄I'm 24 and still young. I have so much time to find the right person. If not, it doesn't bother me. I'm very comfortable being single and independent (of course a healthy compatible relationship would still be nice if such a person appeared!)

While I'm pleased that you're confident, as someone who has been here just long enough to observe everything this site has to offer, I'd like to suggest you share your hopes and dreams elsewhere? I think the sensual far outweighs the sane on this website, so be careful for what you wish for, or post for that matter.

lavieliv · 26-30, F

@Freeranger I really appreciate your input. I've actually used this site a while ago and before that, I was on Experience project. I have seen and read a lot of content here and I tend to filter everything to suits what I wish to see or who I write to.

IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M

I believed all that for myself, until I realized I will never find anyone to love. Women just don't like me. My life is a curse and I've always been the single friend in a group of people

NotJamieM · 46-50, M

That's a really good and positive way to look at something like this!

REMsleep · 41-45, F

Please enjoy every bit of your life. Being with a person that you love for the rest of your life is wonderful but hard. You must shed some of your singleness as well so please do enjoy what you have

lavieliv · 26-30, F

@REMsleep Thank you for the insight! I do appreciate it. I will continue to enjoy my life and just follow my own path. One day I might meet a wonderful person, but in the meantime, I will enjoy my own company as well as my friends.

Donotfolowme · 51-55, F

You will find someone here

@Donotfolowme I just find that I can't resist those high standard women! A doctor even told me once that I've VHS (very high standards). He said it had been years since he had met such a person, & that there used to be many more that had it.

Donotfolowme · 51-55, F

@FCNantes 🤨

FCNantes · 22-25, M

@Donotfolowme He also noted that I could be turned on, even by just 1 finger or toe, but I think he was just pressing my buttons.
