Hi, I am still new so I think I should probably post here at this time.

Yesterday, I had an outpatient surgical procedure to remove a cancerous growth under my right sideburn. The good news is that I was told the cancer has been removed. Yea!

Last night, though, I felt quite tired and also felt alone and lonely. I do have a son and brother and friends who helped me feel better a lot better, but I do not have a significant-other mate to share my life with.

Today, I admit, I am feeling much better.

Yes I am very content with my life.  I like being single, and yes,  I'd like to share sometimes with that elusive other.  Only some times though  

I help others and feel happy to do so.  I spend time with my family and take time out for myself.  I recently adopted a 6 month old kitten and that's feeling very fulfilling, she's lovely

HI all. I am Heidi nd 50. I have been single for a few years. I was married 21 yrs. Divorced 5+ yrs ago. Have been engaged 2 times since then,but realized I was choosing that man because I was lonley more then love so ended them. I ive in Jacksonville.FL and I am retired from disability...a rare illness that is not contagious but annoying at times. I am a natural born artist from an artist's family. I love nature,animals and being creative. I have always felt that doing things with someone else makes it more fun.

I am very lonely lately more then I have ever been. I think that I may be depressed from lonliness. I am glad I am not alone and found this group!

Hi Lonely Singles

I am Monica, still 49 years old, soon to be 50.  I live near Austin, Texas, work as a Data Analyst, going to school for a career in Human Services (counseling or social work), two kids.  My 17 year old still lives with me, but she has one foot out the door.  I didn't date for years after my divorce because I was too busy trying to be a mom and support my kids.  Now that I am ready to date I am having a hard time finding someone to date.  I just haven't clicked with anyone.  Perhaps I am too picky.  I don't really want to be looking in bars.  Any suggestions?

Audrey, welcome to the group.

the group is funny; it makes one forget, one is  single.

On and off, some provide comic relief. 

Just another single, divorced 6 years.

I'm not unhappy, I'm just confused, at a crossroad in my life.   I like being alone, even when I was married, I needed my space.  Now I'm so use to being by myself, I think it might be a problem dating someone.

If I feel bored, I take myself out on the town or travel. 

I don't have any children, and have no family left,  but I love life and people, and that's enough for me,  because God said so.

*Who are you?     I am Sandra, div. mother of 3 (almost an empty nester)

*Where are you from?     A small town in Minnesota

*How long have you been single?     About 10 years now.

*Are you seeing/dating anyone now?     No. 

*What is life like for you on a daily basis?     I love my job, love my kids, love my dogs, love my family...life is full of blessings, I just try to see those blessings in every aspect of my day.  Yes, there are some difficult moments, being a single mom is tough, I try to smile through the rough spots.  Could use an extra million, can any of you spare it?

*Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life?     If I ever do get that content feeling, then game over!  There is always more to acheive and learn.  I hope to someday find someone who will complete me.  (did I just say that?  Or do I have Jerry McGuire on in the background?)

*What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?     I coach.  Gymnastics and Cheerleading.  There is nothing more fulfilling than to work with children.  (This also gets me into the hockey games for free!)

Who am I

My name is Reba, (B/D) 3/28/49

Where am I from

Currently reside in Arkansas

How long have I been single

Walked out 2003

Seeing or dating anyone

Talk to people on IM.........nothing real

Daily life

I go to work, come home, help with whatever chores haven't been done, get on the pc go to bed

Content?

Absolutely not

What do I do to make my life more fulfilling

I like my job, but "home" is far from desirable, three room mates, fulfilling well there isn't much.

I am agnostic so don't have that social option, my work involves irregular days and hours so planning is hard to do, I smoke and many men are turned off by that..........I am very compassionate and loving, have been in love once and don't think you get a second chance. I do believe you can find someone that suites your character and can spend the rest of your life with.

Good Evening Ray! Been through Kinston many times,and been lost there are few times too! Hahaha! I hope you are well!

I hope all of the members reading this are well! Talk to ya'll soon!!

Good Evening!

I hope all are well! My name is Christy! I am from North Carolina. It seems  I have been single forever!! But really it has only been about 8 months. And before that is was 7 years. Needless to say I need to get out and about. I have been shy all my life and it is really hard to get things started so please bear with me. I am somewhat content with my life. I work and spend most of my evenings in front of the computer talking with friends or just surfing the net. I look forward to meeting as many new people as possible. Take Care and talk to ya'll soon!

Hi Trudy,

good choice, welcome to the group. A lot of exchange to keep the mind lively. 

Hello! It's nice to see you here Walter and a few other friends I know. This looks like a fun group to belong to.

I'm Trudy,  just turned 50 a couple days ago, but going on 38.

I’m  Canadian, born and raised close to Niagara Falls, Ontario. After a failed marriage I packed up my belongings and my dog and drove out “West” to live near Vancouver, British Columbia, 29 years ago.

I’ve been “single” for a year now, went “steady” for 3 years before that (doesn’t that date me), and have lived on my own with my children for the past 15 years. I’m not dating anyone right now.

My life on a daily basis? It changes. I had a work related injury 3 years ago and have only returned to working for the school board recently, teaching children how to read. A lot of energy  has been spent writing  appeals to Long Term Disability, which came through, and I’m on my 7^th appeal to Workman’s Compensation. Because fibromyalgia set in after the injury my  “Super Woman” life changed drastically and I’ve been learning how far I can push the envelop before I pay for it. Otherwise I have been enjoying doing all the things I wasn’t able to do for the past 21 years while working  and raising my children as a single mother.

I’m used to my life as it is today and content in that I have the space I need, but it’s a 50/50 situation. The children are older now and moving out so life has slowed down and is much quieter. I never planned on doing it alone, so I am always open for the ecstatic experience of meeting a man of substance who will be my significant other to enjoy the “twilight” years with. I especially love having company in the evenings and cuddle up with at bed time.

To make life more fulfilling….I do my creative work which feels spiritual, water color painting classes, teach sign language once a week, spread positive energy through care2, scrapbook my  late parent’s fascinating lives, walks along the ocean, rivers or lakes, cook, bake, spend time with friends, go dancing occasionally,  etc. But all that does not fill the boots of a good partner.

• Who are you? Well, that is a good question...been trying to figure that out for quite some time.  Oh...errr....ummm....sorry, you meant "who" am I, right?  Sorry, I'm Jim
• Where are you from? I was born and raised just outside Corvallis, Oregon.  I live in Albany, Oregon right now.  In between Corvallis and Albany I had a 20 year stint in Louisiana.  Been back in Oregon for just over 1 year
• How long have you been single? 10 years
• Are you seeing/dating anyone now? Not at the moment
• What is life like for you on a daily basis? Life is a bit hit 'n miss at the moment.  There are a lot of things I would like to do, but don't seem to have the time to do it.  Though, that will change fairly soon.
• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life? I am content about half the time, the other half of the time I am a bit on the lonely side, wishing there was someone around to share the time with.
• What do you do to make your life more fulfilling? I travel a lot (sure would be nice to have a travel partner again).  I would stay home a bit more but there really isn't any reason to do so when all I'm doing is rattling around my house by myself.  Sometimes that is a great feeling, a lot of the time it is not.

Hello everyone!  My name is Rochelle, and I am a 46 year young, divorced mother of two great kids.. now pretty much grown.  My son is 18, and my daughter just turned 26. 

I live on the Oregon Coast, but was born and raised in Yakima Washington.  I have lived in Oregon for the last four years, and I love it here.

I have been divorced for 13 years, and had one four year relationship that I just ended on the 13th of February. 

I don't feel lonely, because I have my son and my adopted son living with me.  But, I do miss the companionship of a relationship.

I usually go for walks on the beach with or with out my kids, and take photos of the beautiful Oregon Coast.  I spend allot of time on the computer.  I am artistic, so I like to spend time beading and creating things from driftwood, shells and agates I find on the beach.

I guess I do kind of feel like a fish out of water.  I  hate the dating game.  I don't want to meet someone in a bar, nor do I go out by myself.  I am currently unemployed, due to fibromyalgia and panic disorder.  I am in appeal on a SSI claim.

I look forward to meeting some new friends here. 

Sending Peace and Love,

Rochelle *hugs* from the Oregon Coast~

>>>accepting of it, but want MORE.

• Who are you? At this moment I feel comfortable using my nom de plume:  Dora

• Where are you from? I was born in and still live in Calif. in The L.A. area and need to MOVE 

• How long have you been single? WELL...I have been married three times the last marriage ended in 1984, I had another RELATIONSHIP in 1998-2005 IT officially ENDED Jan 2006, it was over before then but we both were really too busy to end it, also too far away, he lived approx. 200 miles away from me. SO>>>> I have been SINGLE for a year now!

• Are you seeing/dating anyone now? NO! BUT I do have a CRUSH! and he is in this group.  For his privacy I will not say.

• What is life like for you on a daily basis? Hectic to peaceful. I assisit two people, a couple, with personal needs, in home services, and try as I may to get the lady organized in TIME management it is not working.  I also drive my daughters to work and home again. At times I feel like I do not TAKE ME TIME ENOUGH.  I give care to others and do not GIVE myself enough time to be ME. So when I do have spare moments I read or use the computer to write.  

• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life? I do not feel like a FISH OUT OF WATER, I feel like ONE KIND of fish in an OCEAN filled with different kinds of fish and sea creatures some are dangerous sharks and some are ODD some are looking to swallow me whole  and I cannot FIND my TYPE. But this OCEAN has become HOME... I have learned to survive here. BUT of course I would love to find one like ME, fish!   

• What do you do to make your life more fulfilling? Write, I write stories and poems. Along that line I keep learning as well. I care for people. I take care of my family...and pets...I am looking for a job, but it is slow coming. I have been a single parent who survived three rapes, death of my parents, and abusive relationships...I think I fulfill my life by being ME and surviving and giving men a chance to be near me and I keep loving no matter what happened in my past. I can be alone, but I miss the TOUCH of a partner, I miss a kiss, When I see the Picture of the person IN HERE that I have a crush on, I remember my inner feelings and I miss being a woman for a man.

I would like to add one thing, I am Spiritual in my own way. I never push my personal beliefs on to anyone and I am a firm believer of What is REAL to YOU is REAL to YOU, and  I believe what is REAL to ME is REAL to me.

People can co-exsist in different realities. If they just open their minds to these different realities. 

Am a bird of passage, indeed I´ve been here before. I fill up enough fuel, by drawing from the group through belonging, posting, exchanging, enough fuel to some time soar up as high as possible, float about for a while and come back again to start afresh all over again. Well, many a pen, I don´t know...

Hello, Ray!  Well...it does unfortunately take time to properly 'heal' from a relationship...Give yourself the time you need.  Self-Confidence will return 'if' you believe in 'yourself'...never wait for other's to do that...because other's respond to what you put out there. 

Most of us get 'knocked down'...but we just have to pick ourselves up and move on.  No one is worth wasting time hurting over, especially, if they did not deserve your love and/or trust in the first place...

Just take it slow, develop good friendships ~ I wouldn't take anything in the world for my dear friends...

Hang in there...

Serena! 

So happy to meet you!  Just jump in...we have alot of fun; hopefully, we'll all get back soon! 

Positive Thoughts, Smiles, Laughter, Light & Blessings!

Cindy 

~ It's great to see so many new folks!    I've been gone so long...I've missed my little buddies! 

  ~ To all the new folks! 

~ Maybe we can start playing like we used to! 

Have a great day!

Who are you?       I'm Walter (Old Hippie Native American Nudist Pagan)

Where are you from?     Originally from Miami, FL. but now live in Prattville, AL.

How long have you been single?    3 years this time. Last marriage only lasted 2 years and I was single for 8 years before that.

Are you seeing/dating anyone now?    NO !!! (sucks too)

What is life like for you on a daily basis?     Depends on weather and if it is hunting season. On nice days I will probably be found laying by the pool working on the full body tan. If hunting season is in then you'll have to try and locate me in the woods.  

Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life?     Most days I cope with not having a S.O. around - It is tough. I miss having someone with me. Being a hopeless romantic and alone is really tough for me to handle. Virgos are like that too. 

What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?     Stay close to my friends and hope for things to change. Keep searching for that special person who can handle all I have to offer and enjoys doing things with me learning each day about her new partner/companion/lover.

Hi Robert:

30 years is a long time...the country has changed quite alot since you have lost visited.  Andros has grown some as well, still has some of the old charm to it however.  

Nassau is very beautiful and its a tourist dream just to drive around the island and admire the sun setting...words cannot explain it and the beaches, oh the beaches are just great.  Lots of fish and sea life to explore and see.  As you are the aware the island is flat and small so you can basically see everything in one go.

Which church were your family apart of?...Must be an interesting time for them.

I truly hope you can make it back to see all the changes that has taken place since the last time you were here.

I haven't been to the bahamas in nearly 30 years.  I understand that I wouldn't recognize it.  I had a cousin who was a missionary on North Andros for about 15 years.  He had a friend who was a missionary in Nassau until the late 1990's. Enjoyed the pictures on your profile page. 

• Who are you? Debbie, but I shortened it here...quite a few others...
• Where are you from? Been in SoCal for nearly 28 years, before that Hawaii for 9, before that Kansas, before that Maryland, before that Kentucky, and before that was born in Austria...
• How long have you been single? All my life!!
• Are you seeing/dating anyone now? What's a date?  Actually, dates make me nervous...I'm on the introverted shy side and sometimes that does not go over well...
• What is life like for you on a daily basis? Not that exciting...
• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life? It could be better I suppose.  Since I've been single all my life, I wouldn't know what to do if a significant other came along...it would be nice but I'm not necessarily looking...
• What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?  Good question.  That is an ongoing learning process...it's probably time to find out, huh?

• Who are you?

I am Sam - Female ( my dad wanted a boy)

• Where are you from?

I live in the Capital of the Bahamas, known as Nassau

Not really...if I am interested in someone then I might date them.

•  
• What is life like for you on a daily basis?

Well of late not much fun.  I live in a Christian country so petty much everything is monitored by the Christian Council.  My days are spend at work.  I known to be a workholic and not much into the party area anymore.  I also read alot, go to movies, walk my dogs on the beach, sleep and attend the gym.  I am more lively when I am in the mood for friends.    

•  
• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life?

I am pretty much contented with my life at the moment.  I dont think that I need a significant other to make me feel fullfilled.  I am slightly disappointed at the level I am success wise and that I am working on since I have major dreams. 

What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?

There are a number of things that I do.  the list is just tooo long to mention.  I am told however that I can be major fun at times and at other times I am so serious and then there are the days when I am all business. [ send green star]

No this isn't a free for all group.

You still need to respect others if you are going to post here.

Don't expect to be able to bash others and still stay a member here.

Thank You!

 Kenyatta!!

NO!!! We have NO LEADERS . . WE ARE NOW FREE TO ROAM ABOUT THE MESSAGE BOARD!!

It's a free-for-all gang!

Welcome to Karlynna, Billie & Caring!

This group is currently without hosts! LOL . . guess we'll all have to step in . . it is kind of fun that we can get very out of control at times! Hope you'll all post so we can get to know each other.

• Who are you? Billie
• Where are you from? Wichita Kansas
• How long have you been single? 6 yrs
• Are you seeing/dating anyone now? only occasionally
• What is life like for you on a daily basis? very boring and lonely
• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life? I don't know what to do with myself most of the time
• What do you do to make your life more fulfilling? computer mostly

Hi,

• Who are you? Karlynna
• Where are you from? Indianapolis, IN
• How long have you been single? All my life (I'm 42)
• Are you seeing/dating anyone now? It's complicated. I have a friend who is sometimes more, but he's not marriage material so I'm seeking that.
• What is life like for you on a daily basis? I'm unemployed right now so I'm looking for a job and I spend way too much time on the computer.
• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life? I've always felt like a fish out of water, whether it is because I didn't have a significant other or because I was a female with traditionally male interests. I'm looking for a man who is TRULY supportive of women's equality.

What do you do to make your life more fulfilling? Looking for a job right now. Otherwise, listen to music (especially world music and indie rock), read (SF, fantasy, mystery, nonfiction on topics of interest), learn new things, fight endlessly (it seems!) for gender equality, etc.

May I be the first to welcome you to our site, Jolene.  We are all friends here.  We have a lot of fun here also.

Welcome Jim and Bill. I hope you both make some friends here.

You probably will not see me much around here.

The group seems to do better without me than with me.

I was a more active member when the other hosts were here.
I hope you both have a good time here with the members that are active here. They all seem like good people.

Take Care.
Countess

Hi there,... I guess I managed to hop right in here as member number 400.

For anyone in a hurry to get to know me,.... see my profile or even better yet,.... I have some groups that really identify me as a person.

Those are found in my profile as well.

About me,... I think that the entire worlds problems would be solved soon if we were to just make friends,... and care about each other.

So anyone wanting to be friends with me is welcome to visit my profile, join my groups, participate in my life.

Otherwise, I will be back soon to meet some great new friends,... and see if I can find someone to love.

Bill

hi everyone,

thanks Countess, thanks Ray for the nice welcome. It really makes one feel like at home. Sure!!! Your words in German too, Ray.

Anyway, wondeful! I was surprised. It takes to be on care2 to get to know outgoing, good people with sense of humour, and have some fun. You did well. I understood perfectly, and that´s what languages are about. Their goal therefore.

We have to dare...Speak to each other. And at times go around some conducting norm  that makes one hesitate and pass up an opportunity in the end. ( The nice and discrete way, sure ).

Now, I read, you´re an artist... I´ve sung and danced and written "all my life" ( sung "rather to myself",  took part in caraokee at times though ). I´m learning keyboard, advanced meanwhile, but neglecting too much the " chapter chords ", discovering, there must have lived in me some talent to set words to  music. ( this, free from wanting to praise things ). Maybe the result of the many years...So, all the time, playing but the basic melodies. I like it. Good enough for me. Maybe one day, I´ll learn to play the chords alongside...

I had a few relationships. Thank God, never was the end linked to meanness or problems. It seems, there are things in life, one cannot give a definition to.  So, thanks again to Goddess and yourself.

until another time, sincerely, Mongi.

The people here are great.

I'm sorry I didn't welcome you each individualy.

Take Care.
Countess

hi everyone, and big thanks to the hosts for the idea.

I´m new to the group and I´d like to write a few words, introducing myself this way.

Everybody´s got and made their experiences over the years...As far as I am concerned, whenever I happened to get chatting to someone, single, and whose words one can gather from, they´re lonely,-whoever they are-, at the bar over a cup of tea, I can´t recall, I met someone, who´s not nice. In most cases,they´re travelled, fair and equitable and not seldom sociable and most pleasant, and have much love in store too. The lonely singles. ( Is this a reason, among others, why we´re alone ? Anyways...)... So, again, as far as I am concerned, doubtless belonging to many, I don´t condsider my being alone, single and lonely at times as a destiny I have to come to terms with ( frankly, I don´t know what to call it either ), but I accept it, live with it and " love it" sometimes, although certainly and thank God seldom. This, maybe, because I have lived and relished a lot, I can say, mingling with all kinds of folks, travelling, to cite only this. We should not, we musn´t resign or give up. A pause, when it imposes itself, is fine, but we have to start again...It keeps one young, at least at heart. Write, if we can, whatever the contents. How about a little postcard to someone, whenever we met them, saying: " just thinking of nice folks..." Sing, if we can...Someone said: " SINGING HEALS WHAT LAWS AND BYLAWS CANNOT HEAL..."  Just in the room, in the garden, along with the CD, or just alone...

...As we all need someone to lean on. In whatever form ( or way ). Always. Sometimes it´s hard, but someone needs to start, in the bar, at a Café or even on the Street.

Thanks for reading./ Sincerely, Mongi

hi every one

rayy

Hello  I am Charlotte (or Charlie or Frost Giant or Shorty - you take your pick). 

Where are you from?
I'm from Sweden , but have a tendency of moving around quite a bit. The better part of the past 12yrs have been spent living in many diffrent places around Australia and England. Just making a pit-stop back in Stockholm while planning for the next escape.

How long have you been single?
On what level are we talking? Officially about 10mths. Physically/Mentally about 1.5yrs. If you want an explanation to that one just ask me...

Are you seeing/dating anyone now?
Seeing someone - Nope / Dating - wow - that's a hard word to spell I cant even remember the last time I went on a date... Must have been in 2002 I think.....

What is life like for you on a daily basis?
Usually stumble out of bed about 6.30 have a big mug of coffee , a shower (hey - no peeking) and head off to work. Days are completely crazy most of the time - not one day the same as the day before. Get home about 7 and tend to spend the evenings relaxing - reading books, writing letters  (yes, i still write snail-mail letters), listening to music, studying for my uni-course and chatting to friends. I'm a night-owl  (call me Hedwig if you want) so i usually don't make it to bed until 2-3 in the morning.

Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life?
I'm actually quite a happy single at the moment but miss the company and the comfort of sharing my life with a special someone. I'm not actively looking - but if that special someone comes along - then i'll be open to exploring a future togeather.

What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?
I spend time with friends, travel, try to learn new things , try to help and be there for the people around me , I spend time outsdoors taking photos and scetching the world around me - just enjoying the beauty of life is fullfilling.

Hello Monica.  I haven't seen you for a while.  This is a great group and you should enjoy it here.

I am also back...and hopefully on a steady basis...I hope all is well for everyone..

I have been taking care of some health issues and other things but I am hoping it is all done for now...and I will be able to visit care 2 more often....

Miss All!

Peace

Welcome, Dennis! 

I hope you have alot of fun here with us!    We are pretty 'dysfunctional' most of the time...so, you had best have a somewhat sick sense of humor...

I have been meaning to visit your group, I just haven't gotten a chance to make it there yet, but I will. 

Smiles & Laughter,

Cindy 

• Who are you?

My name is Dennis.

• Where are you from?

Maryland, but live in Texas now.

• How long have you been single?

Always.  I'd like to change that answer at some point though

• Are you seeing/dating anyone now?

No.

• What is life like for you on a daily basis?

Just like it is for every single man my age, I guess.  It's all about taking care of myself right now.  Work, play, and anything inbetween is just about me.

• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life?

Lol.  If I were content to be alone, I wouldn't be here, would I?  It'd be nice to have someone to share things/moments with.

• What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?

I try to be optimistic, and to learn from everyday experiences.  I maintain contant with the outside world and exercise my sense of humor as often as possible.  I do a LOT of girlwatching, lol.  I'll admit that I do indulge myself a bit more than perhaps I should.

I want to give a VERY warm Welcome to all who have joined this group recently!

I am Countess and a Co-Host here at the "Lonely Singles" group.

I am sorry for not being an active member for a long time. I am here for anyone if I am needed. I will do my best to do what I can to make this group good.

I have never done anything with any of the hosting features before, so if anyone hosts a group of their own and has tips for me, contact me and let me know your thoughts on what I can do to make this group good.

I am Single, but not looking for anyone at the moment. I have someone online that I am hoping to meet. If all goes well, I  pray it does, then we should meet before the end of the year.

If you pray, please pray that we can meet this year! The sooner the better! The waiting is just killing me! lol

Again Welcome to the Group! Have loads of fun!
Don't be shy to start your won topics!

Countess

Who are you?

Hi all, I'm Paulette!

Where are you from?

I'm from Pennsylvania, in the Uniontown area!

How long have you been single?

Almost 4 years. My husband passed away.

Are you seeing/dating anyone now?

No not at the present time. I can't seem to find anyone in my area. But I am still looking! 

What is life like for you on a daily basis?

Monotonous. I do walk and excercise everyday. I spend time with family and friends often.  

Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life?

Life is not the same being single. I do get very lonely depending on how good my day is going. I am definitely not content with the way my life is, that is...the single life....But I am nonetheless thankful everyday for my health and wonderful friends and family. I was blindly seeing a man who told me he was single but came to find out he had gotten back with the woman he was with before me and still leading me on. I had a low self esteem before I met him, and now it is even lower. I still let it go on because I was just so desperate for some kind of companionship, that I put up with all of his sh*t. 

What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?

I go out with friends when I can, I enjoy dancing,  so I attend a local oldies club  every Saturday night which is one of my favorite activities.  I also spend time with my grandchildren a lot. 

I'm Caedwyn, 18, newly single

Greenville, North Carolina at the moment

5 days

it was great...and it will be again soon, i hope

i feel lonely, and sad, but mostly due to the newly broken heart aspect of my life. single life could be great, but who knows?

Hi everyone.   I just joined up with this group.

1)  My name is Robert, sometimes Bob.

2) Right now, the Seattle WA area.  Born and raised in central MO

3) Been single all my life.  Came close to changing that once.

4) I am not dating anyone right now.  At this point my jobs have pretty well kept me from having a nightlife and hobbies.  It's only been in the last year that I've had a glimmer of an opportunity.  Heck, I haven't even been playing in most of the hobbies I've listed on my profile for the last couple years.

5)  Right now, I work nights.  I go home, check my email.  I crash out around 7 AM, wake up around 2PM.  Recently, I've been trying to unpack the moving boxes that have been sitting in my living room for the last *two*! years.  Along with hooking up the stereo system.  (Ya gotta love working required overtime) 8{P  With luck, I should be caught up by christmas.  Then I do basic maintenance stuff, cooking etc.  Two nights a week I try to go out with friends or hobby groups.  Later, they go home, I go to work. TV?  Don't ask me about any new show that's been on for the last three years.

6)  In some ways yes, in others, no.  I am perfectly happy being single.  However, I wouldn't mind changing that. 

For years now I'm trying to figure out how to "fix" an issue I seem to have. <LOL> One of the problems I have getting a date is:  "I look married".  Nearly everyone who first meets me or only knows me casually initially think I'm married.  When I ask them why they think that, the usual reply is: "I don't know why you look married, but you just look married".  <aarrgghh> thanks for the help.  8{)

Well, you could give me his name and phone number, and I could ask him for you.   

(On another thread I said I would do this for people who were too shy to ask.) 

*Do you know a mutual friend you could ask?

*You could invite him to a party and say, "You and your wife are invited...."  

He might respond with, "Ohhhh I'm not married...."

Then you'd know. 

Other than that, I am straightforward.   I ask.   What is he going to do to you for asking?   Bop you on the head? 

Hello everyone!

I've been reading some of the threads in this group and I've liked them so I thought I could join! However, the title of this group sounds miserable to me if I'm allowed to criticise a bit. I hope I don't hurt anyone by saying this! The word lonely just sounds a bit depressing. Anyway, I don't let it bother me!  

• Who are you? I'm Annukka
• Where are you from? Helsinki, Finland
• How long have you been single? far too long
• Are you seeing/dating anyone now? no but I'm interested in someone
• What is life like for you on a daily basis? Nowadays I'm working (have been on and off work since my graduation last August and I was just 3 months unemployed) so I'm at work from 9 to 5 and after that I do whatever I feel like doing! See friends, stay at home...My Italian course hasn't begun yet. 
• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life? I wish I had someone special to be with. I could have a boyfriend if I wanted one BUT there has to be spark for me so if there isn't any, I'm rather single. Well, maybe someone would say that I'm picky but I say that I don't want to settle. I think it would make me unhappy. 
• What do you do to make your life more fulfilling? Hang out with friends (most of whom are single in this town, thank God for that!) and be active.

I have one question! I tried to look for this topic but couldn't find it in any of the threads. How do you find out whether a man is available? The guy I'm interested in doesn't wear a ring but I haven't talked with him that much yet. So what is the best way to find out? I think it's not a good idea to ask, right?

• Who am I?
• I am Jemm M and live in beautiful rural SouthEastern AZ
• I have been divorced for about 5 1/2 years
• I do not date men that are in my local valley due to so much alcoholism, heavy smoking and even drug use.  Seems there are no gentlemen to fit my clean lifestyle here.  So I am sort of lost and in limbo.
• What is life like for me on a daily basis?
• I do Web Design, Part Time from my home.  I live alone and have very few friends in this area.  It really does get lonely doing things by myself.  However there are good things that come out of becoming independent.
• Are you content with your life as it is today or do you feel like a fish out of water without a significant other in your life?
• No, I am not at peace yet.  I feel there is so much to do and enjoy in life, but I feel like part of me is missing.  I assume that is because I have no partner in life.  I am one of those people that really need much love and attention from my best friend and love. But I am surviving and hopefully growing from this experience.
• What do you do to make your life more fulfilling?  
• I take care of my home and Iguana's and Turtles.  I take walks, do some bicycling, some swimming, some drives,  my own version of home remodeling, enjoying educating myself on the internet and when possible, making new friends.  In all actuality, I live life day by day. 

Best wishes to all!
