Seeking Love Isn’t Desperation — It’s Human

I never came to this site thinking I would meet a woman let alone about dating, this is not a dating site. I stopped that dating site a long time ago myself.

Once an Older man like me (60 years young) that has been betrayed and single for 18 years now and quit trying dating 11 years ago for all the BS involved with modern dating. I just decided to focus on the things that I love and do already in my life and the people and family that I already have and love.

I am done trying and sacrificing myself to make someone else happy while it only makes me miserable. Why not decided you like the person as you found them and not change them into what you want?

I understand what you have said, but I quit believing in relationship and being coupled to a woman to be happy. I have that already as an eternally single person. I can't complete anyone else or make anyone else happy that has to come from within them first.

Sorry you have a great post, but I do not believe SW is a place to date or to find love. Honestly it is a place of expression, learning, sharing, and trying to make someone else to laugh for me. I have made a few great friends here, but I never thought of it as a dating/relationship venture here.

Leni03 I truly do understand your post and bid you the best of luck. Sorry that my reply is skeptical.

Great post!

That human connection is also yet another viewport to experience life through as well as share our life experiences with someone else. It's like we not only have the joy of living our own life but also the joy of witnessing another's life up close.

One of my favorite love songs is John Prine's "You Got Gold"

I've got a new way of walkin' and a new way of talkin'
Honey, when I'm around you
But it gives me the blues when I've got some good news
And you're not there to bring it to

Life is a blessing, it's a delicatessen
Of all the little favors you do
All wrapped up together no matter the weather
Baby, you always come through
It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure
Of loving you the way I do
And you know I would gladly say I need your love badly
And bring these little things to you"

Yes you arent deaperate. I agree . Life just gets lonely sometimes not having a partner. Ive stopped looking. Dating sites arent good.. Id much rather meet someone in.person like the old days. Thats what i havent given up on.

Love is human need. It’s just bad experiences makes people hesitant.

“We come here because we want to find something meaningful not because we’re desperate or naive.”

Are you sure?

Lots of single women just want support sadly
