I Have Random Thoughts

I'm beginning to regret something that I did today. I don't really understand why. My wife passed away 6 months ago. I haven't had a relationship since then. I'm just not ready. Upon entering a gas station today, I met the new lady working there. We spoke for a moment about the product I was buying. I noticed that she had partially dyed her hair white, leaving the ends of it black. It's a very attractive look. I used to compliment my wife's hair every day. The chemotherapy had turned it almost white in color, and it was incredibly attractive. I'm starting to realize that everything I gave my wife -- the love and the compliments, among other things -- is still there, but I have no one to give it to. I'm beginning to feel desperate to have what I lost. I complimented the lady. I told her how beautiful her hair is. I immediately felt like one of those guys who will say whatever to possibly get in someone's pants. I wanted to apologize, but I told her to have a great night and left. Although my wife is gone, I felt like I had cheated on her. I know this may seem ridiculous to some.

It's been shown that men repartner faster than women. One of the theories is that men get lonelier than women. Not sure if thats true but..

@morrgin It's probably because we don't know what the damn washing machine settings mean, lol

@morrgin She wanted me to find someone to love, but finding the right person is difficult.

@Lincoln it will happen when you arent looking for it and least expect it.

@morrgin You're very right. I'm worried I'm going to get with someone for the wrong reason. I don't want someone to basically just be a filler for a hole in my life.
