Hello,
This is a friendly little thread for those who want to pop in and say hi. Some of us are single, and might even be looking, and with the large number of great people on this board, there may be a chance where a couple or two might meet up!
So if you are single, don't mind sharing a little about yourself here, and perhaps curious as to who else is single, then reply here!
s i g n . . . . . . . now what?

Well gee Prisca, why don't you start us off by telling a little bit about yourself? I guess I fall into this category, and though I'm not exactly looking I don't mind taking a look.

Maybe I could sneak in here and post without Angharad finding out... what do you think? No one will grass me up will they ?!?
I'm single, but I try and live my life with double standards.<---(humor)
Being single is great, it can give you the time to really get to know yourself. If you do, you will always have a good friend to talk to.
Who ever said that talking to yourself was crazy has never been married.
I guess I'm in real philosophical mood today, must be the moon.
Simon,
What in the world does "grass me up" mean?

-It is more convenient to follow one's conscience than one's intelligence, for at every failure, conscience finds an
excuse and an encouragement in itself. That is why there
are so many conscientious and so few intelligent people.

Maybe Had Enough or Out N Free who met me at BRCI can describe me better. :-)

LOL... 'grass me up' is British (I guess) for 'turn me in', 'inform on me' etc...
Supergrass = informant
Thanks to everyone who has replied.
Simon - hmm, sorry mate, but I don't think you really qualify as a "single" person. Unless you are thinking of introducing your wife and 2 sons to any new "friends" you plan to meet???
C'mon peoples, don't be shy, tell us a little about yourself!!
Prisca,
Most singles are a bit intimidated about the whole "tell us your story" thing because it sometimes comes off as looking some what desperate and can give that uneasy feeling that is associated with the "blind date syndrome". Unfortunately being single in some cultures has a negative connotation in that you are either not yet complete as being a couple or you have failed in some way. This can generate a state of shyness when one is asked to give information about them self. Being single can be a great time in a persons life and no one should feel they are any less interesting or appealing then those of our friends that are married or in a relationships. After all, we enjoy the freedom that most married people tend to envy and miss.
Might I suggest since you started this thread that you begin by telling a little about yourself to give others that might be a little hesitant some kind of guide lines on how to respond. If you can break the ice a little I think your responses will increase and this thread can end up being a little fun and we all can possibly make some new friends.
Just a suggestion.
Dave
