At this point, I can't even imagine becoming involved in a relationship again. I'm not ruling it out, but I really just don't see it happening. Oddly, I'm really okay with that. Who'da thunk it?

Opening up and giving into meeting new people and new situations. However I'm no going in a rush with an agenda of finding another person to fill a void.If she's there? She's there. I'm opening up myself to something far better than trivial drama, mundane existences and wanting to feel alive again. However, the life I was living was a dead comotose lie that had began feiging and stressing over nothing worthwhile trying to keep the facade going. However,being a single dad laughing and crying through it all is the best medicine right now. I love to love and find it hard to be loved because I love hard. This time away has done wonders for my self love and personal time for self-maintenance of healing my soul along with my children at my side. Upon accepting this life for what it truly is and willing to work to make it the best that it can be with what I have and am willing to work for? I am ready to embrace whatever shows up with the confidence to know that I am where I am supposed to be at this present moment. With or without someone. I am here and still standing tall as a father with my kids. Ready for whatever comes. We are our team.

Not holding my breath, I'm widowed and missing my man, so single and not averse to another relationship although it took me decades to find my husband only to lose him to cancer after only 6 years.

I could had voted Single and Looking... because since I found the worm I have not stop looking but I am Not desperate... or in Need... I am like many other here Comfortable with the Freedom of Deciding for One. Easy Quorum to muster at all times. Or I am also Human enough not to Disrupt another individual life or waste her time. Nothing Roots me until the right soil and she have to be One Hell of a Soil. I believe we all need a Witness to Our Lives... I am also Fun to talk to, Be with and a Poet who can Dance. A witnessing tourist in this life enjoying Retirement.

I just dont know. My husband passed away almost 3 years ago. It was rough. I really liked him. He was the only person I completely trusted. I knew he felt the same about me. For 35 years our lives were intertwined. We were one. Im not alone. We have 5 kids. My youngest graduated high school last spring. My eldest recently became a grandfather. My youngest & my only daughter still live with me in the house they grew up in. My daughter is a single parent to 3 kids under 5. Her 3 yo was recently "officially" diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. She is unemployed. I don`t drive. I work as a deli clerk in a grocery store. I have plenty to do. I stay busy. I crave intelligent conversation. It is definitely complicated!

Single, looking, been alone so long it's actually affecting my mental health and self esteem. I'm here more for the community though than anything else.

Only about 0.01% of people would be a likely match.

I've tried all the online services, meetup groups, etc. and just haven't gotten much interest. I refuse to pretend that I anything other than a strong, smart woman, because I don't believe in misleading anyone or tricking a man into a relationship. I've recently bought a house on my own and am enjoying my solitude - just would like someone to go to the movies or cook a meal with.

Single and looking, though in absolutely no rush.

Single. Not really looking anymore. Not in the United States anyway. The market here is far too competative for anyone who doesn't look like a movie star and have the game of a pick up artist or at least puts six figures in the bank each and every year.

I know I'm far too fat and fugly to find a partner whom I would find attractive enough to turn me on romantically here in the United States. Nor has any woman of average to above average attractiveness from here in the US ever shown even the remotest romantic interest in me. I can't make up for my laundry list of physical flaws with game and/or money, so I'm basically a lethal combination of negative traits which puts me in the category of the unfuckables here in the US market. In fact, I might just even be the club president.

Searching for romantic partners here in the US is a waste of time for me. I tend to do much better in over seas countries where women chase men more and the US dollar goes far enough to put a sparkle in any pretty girl's smile.

So, ladies ... form an orderly queue, please ... ????
