Touche Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm glad to hear that. And so are mine. Thanks to everyone here. I feel better. No thanks are needed. Link to post Share on other sites
Ssheena Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Johan, Johan, Johan.. a) put a Rockies thing instead of a Av's thing on your robot! b) Beer festival/tasting in a couple of weekends. c) beautiful fall weather. I was outside tanning and swimming yesterday! d) we don't get altitude sickness like the flatlanders... e) you weren't a contractor working in GTown the other day. It will get better. I'd rather be alone than in a bad relationship. However, I will say, if I didn't have my huge puppy, I would really be missing someone to snuggle with too. (buy a ticket for next Saturday's game while you still can....I got a good feeling..) Link to post Share on other sites
CaliGuy Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yes, I'm sick of it. Not much more to say about it. Not long ago, just weeks ago, I was perfectly content. But now I'm not. In order to be happy with someone, you need to be perfectly happy alone. Do you have any major goals in your life? What motivates you to get up in the morning (besides coffee???). Having a purpose for your life, at least in my case, has lead to much happiness. Dating or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Storyrider Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Why don't you take up poetry or fiction writing and join my writers' group? There are two or three single women in it, and all are reasonably attractive. And there is only one guy, and he has holes in his sleeves with his thumbs sticking out, plus he is about 5 ft 3.

CG, once again, you're right on brother. You're turning into our Dr. Phil. I agree, you've got to be perfectly happy and content just being yourself, doing the things you like to do. I noticed that I put alot of my hopes and happiness into my relationship and when that was taken away from me, I felt so incredibly empty. But if I had maintained my independence and hobbies and passions while we were together, it wouldn't have felt like such a big deal or such a big loss when she left me for the millionth time. I have never felt as alone as I now feel these days, but you know what, I am doing okay. I will be fine. Sure, there's no one in my bed these days, and I ain't gettin' none, but I am getting better on guitar, I am still in crazy good shape, my work has picked up, and I am more content with being alone. Not saying it wouldn't be nice to be cuddling up with a hottie;) Link to post Share on other sites

Author johan Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 I have plenty to do. I enjoy my life. I'm just getting tired of being alone. The "first be happy alone" thing is covered. I think I'd be even happier not alone. Unless, maybe, if it meant I had to spend a lot of time at the mall or with her family. I'm sure I'll be trying to hang on to my independence, if and when someone comes along who is interested enough in me to test whether I will. It's been a really long time since I had someone to spend time with. Even my last ex wasn't the type to do the "combine our lives" thing. I'd like to combine lives with someone I admire. Someone hot. I have no plans tonight, except a run I'm about to leave for. Otherwise, it will be dinner and TV (maybe) and LS and sleep (which I need). Link to post Share on other sites

You have ZERO freedom in the slammer. No dogs, guitars, music, women, fresh air, clothes, cars, smells of purfume, nothing. Just a cold cell and a bunch of smelly *******s everywhere. Now that I am back in the real world, I am in heaven, just soaking up all the freedoms that everyday life brings. Be grateful for all the things you DO have, not what you don't have (a hottie in your bed). You are going to join a new gym where you might meet someone hot and sweet and interesting. You have your own place, your own couch, your own hot chocolate, your own comfortable bed and your own clothes. That's alot more than alot of people have. We are healthy and have our freedom. Be grateful and happy for that. The women will come to us in time, when it's right. Trust me. Have faith my brothers and sisters, and so will I. Link to post Share on other sites

marlena Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I agree Marty. We should all be thrown in the slammer for a few days. Maybe then we can appreciate the little things that are so important but that we take for granted. My father was a philanthropist. He used to say, "Visit a hospital or an old people's home every day and that'll chase your blues away!" And he did! He'd be the first to visit friends and relatives in hospital or care for the old and abandoned! Not to mention all the volunteer work he did for his parish! He gave off an air of optimism even when he had a stroke and was down for months wasting away! Wish I were more like him! Link to post Share on other sites

Believe me, I can totally relate to the being sick & tired of being alone. Try being stuck in a rut of lonliness & often, despair for three long years! It's actually gotten to the point where I'm ashamed to tell people how long I've been alone for fear they'll think I'm some sort of nutter ... Link to post Share on other sites
