Is there hope?

IS there hope? For dating? For love? I took some time off... and it was good. And I'm pretty happy being single. Wow... the things I learned about my marriage, myself, my life and relationships the past few months.

I have been betrayed and hurt so badly by my ex.. and then well I had an interesting early run in the dating world. It was more a "I need attention and validation from the opposite sex, and I like to kiss boys" phase. Now I'm wondering... do I waste my time? Do I attempt meeting someone new? Or do I stay happily single with that little yet nagging void in my life?

Right now it's like, you know... sometimes I get lonely and would like to have someone to date. It might be nice to cuddle. It might be nice. But at the same time my life is pretty nice now.

Is it worth complicating it all for something that's probably not worth it anyway?

How's that for a glass half-full mentality?

It's a great mentality! I applaud you being happy with yourself! As for the rest, I do want to date, not because I'm lonely or attention seeking, or want that next relationship, but becasue I want to. I never really got to, so now I am. As for it might be nice to cuddle, well, I have my own solution to that as well, I have a very dea friend that is in a very similar situation, and when we need that cuddle, there we are. As a matter of fact he was just dumped by a girl he just met but fell hard for, so there I was for a drink or two, and a relaxed evening talking and cuddling up on the couch. You have to be careful here though, the wrong person and feelings can get tricky.

I hear ya!


I'm perfectly content being "single" but I don't want to turn my back on the possibility of meeting someone and dating... I'm just not up for the "job" of looking for and creating a relationship.
