I'm Afraid That I'll Be Single Forever

OK, "afraid" is probably the wrong word choice. I'm not afraid I'll be single for the rest of my life, I'm quite certain of it. As much as I'd love to find that perfect woman to spend the rest of my life with, I'm also terrified to look. Stick your hand in the fire too many times and you learn to fear the flames. Well, I've been burnt for the last time.

Probably ;-)

Hi i looked up your stories cos i liked your username.. and felt i had to respond.. and say.. this is how it is.. .

I was on dating sites a long while.. and all there were in my sort of age range were men who would not consider a relationship (never mind living together an all that) at any cost.. Many had been divorced, cheated on.. lost everything financially etc and just dont want ever to even risk it again..

The trouble is where does that leave them? well with casual encounters.. yay great say men.. but but there are never enough willing.. and it's all pretty meaningless lol even men get tired of that eventually.. just takes a long time given the lack ... They convince themselves this is enough.. perhaps it is...I cant say but it's less than ideal even though few would admit it..

And where does this leave women on dating sites.. again they dont get what they want cos they want relationship love.. meaning.. but the men just want adventure.. so women accept being single and lol no mostly dont go the route of casual.. well they do but soon lose interest.. meaningless soon becomes unsatisfying ...

So all in all there's a whole generation of singletons.. all not getting what they want.. the guys not getting physical anywhere near enough.. and settling for the very occassional.. and women not bothering at all cos all the men just want s*x...

It's a fascinating phenomenon.. but rest assured you arent alone.. how it pans out i dont know.. well i sorta do from chatting to a lot of men in their 58-70 age range

Well, I won't deny that sex would be nice, but I really want the whole package. Someone I can make as happy as they make me, someone to share life's adventures with as well as the long dull stretches in between adventures. Someone who loves me not in spite of my flaws, but because of them. Someone who doesn't push me to be a better man, but inspires me to be one.
