    I

    think being happy inside attracts others to you, when you are not looking is the time you find someone it seems

    I agree with both of these sentiments , and as Mr Flipper says that is when we must go for it. I knew when i found the woman i wanted very quickly, and she did me.

    Regards

    HOPE 4 OTHERS- I agree with you - you can tell by how people treat others, especially their parents, is another tell tale sign of what they are as a person. And a person does need to be happy with themselves in life before they can bring another person happiness in their life. It is attractive to see a positive person of the opposite sex !

    LLBH- I found it to be true as well what you said - With my wife Mrs. Flipper when we met , we just knew between us by the positive vibes going on there was something strong going on. I think it's called " chemistry " - I'm real big on that ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    Me too Mr Flipper and to ignore it is to deny ourselves

    I've long maintained that I'd never get into another relationship, but I'm beginning to rethink that. My lower back has been a piece of sh*t for the last few weeks, and it would be nice to have someone around to help me dress, wash myself, clean Rocco's cage, and cater to my every whim.

    LLBH- That is correct my friend - especially if you've had heartache before- if you find the right one finally- it makes it all that much more sweeter.

    FINALLY FREE- That is funny my friend ! That would be one hell of a woman to not only help you with your back; but clean Rocco's cage as well ! She'd have to fall in love with Rocco too ! LOL! But hey guy, there are women out there who love animals ! My wife does. I bet you'll find a special lady who likes birds ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    A person needs to feel good about themselves and happy in who they are as a person, if you do not know what you want out of life, your desires your hopes what can you bring

    That's a "big 10-4"! If you can't be happy and content alone, why put your misery on someone else. I had to learn this by going through it. After a miserable 8 year marriage that finally ended, I knew what I wasnted and didn't want out of a relationship before I ever started the next one. My wife did the same, though she was single much longer than I. Just today, we had someone say to us after finding out we've been married 10 years this year, "Wow, I'd have never guessed. You guys act like you're still on your honeymoon." That was our new doctor who just met my wife for the first time today.

    The difference is incredible. My two marriages are like night and f***ing day!

    COON DAWG- I can relate to what you are saying. I was married 19 years to my first wife, my 3 adult kids mom, a JW, even to this day! And I never felt I was good enough. Then married a methamphetamine addict- that only lasted a year and a half . Both train wrecks . But I have been with my current wife almost 2 years, and you are right- it's like night and day with what I experienced before. She really understands me- I understand her, we " get" each other. I've never loved like this before , it truly is wonderful ! I'm glad you found happiness too ! Peace out bro ! Mr. Flipper

    In answering your topic....believe me, I won't settle...I've got a looooooooong (and it's LONG) list of what "I" want and if 3/4th of it isn't met, I'm not interested...I was married for 15 years and I will NOT settle for just "anyone". I'm considered (by the friends I have now) the "girl who won't date" but it's more like "the girl who won't "settle"".

    Besides, I love being able to come and go as I please...not being b#tched at...not to hear snoring in the night....I love LOVE having room in my bed...it would have to take a very special person to cause me to get rid of those good qualities that single life brings.

    I remarried on a hard rebound....got very lucky in many ways. Dr. Laura grades on my nerves a good bit, but did hear her say once that esp with kids you should wait two years after a breakup before dating..............not bad advice imo................oompa

    things can feel sooooo good when you are really hurting

    wha happened?

    I certainly didn't. I hooked up with a young mixed girl with a booty that doesn't quit.
