    i can agree with you. i've been alone my whole life- never had a girlfriend, and still a virgin. but your right, i can do anything without being tied down. but at times, ...it does get real lonely, especially at christmas time and holidays. but i think the positives outweigh the negatives here. =) take care.

    No sweetie not all the guys that are around you is bad, you haven't connected with the right one yet. The same goes for me too. We must be patient and real, true love will come. DO NOT SETTLE EVER EVER. I agree and hope you continue to keep your head up and stay focused on the prize. Stay Strong. -lily

    This story has inspired me to look at my own situation again. For the past ten years I have looked for "the one", of course the first three it was illegal for me to marry. I would have settled for a boyfriend though. I've been flirted with and checked out, but nothing has ever come of it. I am just so tired of being completely alone. I've never had a boyfriend or even went on a date. I also believe that there should be a commitment before sex. Casual is something I have never gone for. So far I haven't foun dthe guy who agrees with me. I hope this means that all the guys around me are wrong and not that there is something wrong with me. Reading your story has shown me that there are others in this situation and the replies have helped me too. They've given me the strength to hold my head up a little longer. Thanks. I hope you find him soon.

    Ahahahaha - that comment about 'boil before blow' cracks me up Lily!



    Seriously though, I want to be sure I am that independent woman who knows that she doesnt 'need' a man before I take the next steps in my relationship. Your outlook is inspiring - love is precious and should be treated as such.

    I too would rather be alone than with the wrong person, or as the saying goes:



    "Better to be at the foot of the mountain than halfway up the wrong one."



    I chose to be on my own for 18 years, & then my complimentary half came into my life.

    hairylady recommended this story to me today. I am so glad she did. I find it to be very inspiring. So many people do just 'settle" so they are not alone. I know what that is like. I speak from experience when i say it's better to be lonely than in a heart breaking relationship. You have been wise to be careful with yourself and your heart taking time to find out who you really are. Now you know what it is you need and desire in a partner. That will help so much in finding that"right" person and have a loving lasting relationship. it will come i wish you all the best!!
