@creative1 I had been in a committed relationship since I was 17 years old (Not one, but one steady long term after another up until 3 years ago). I happen to LIKE being with someone. I am used to it, I appreciate taking care of a man, I like that comraderie and the sharing and growing, and playing and being goofy and then building something solid from it together.
I’m probably older, and come from a different mindset than the girls today have and although I absolutely do not want to be “Taken care of.” meaning stay at home anything because I worked really hard to get my degree and I would like to use it and become successful on my own, but it is still, for me, always nice to have someone to come home to.
Do I need that? Nope…
Do I depend upon that to be happy? Nope
But do I want it… Yes absolutely I do.
and not just with anyone because there were PLENTY of men that have asked, and wanted that, and It was I who turned THEM down. I believe that you absolutely cannot pick who you love, and I kind of stay until it is just a known fact that it is a bad idea and it’s time to stop trying. But it is seldom ever for a lack of trying on my part. I have a high tolerance to go the distance to in the very least try to make something work if it means something to me. I’m in love with someone that I know I can’t have… Nothing I can do about it. Am I on the prowl? nope… No dating sites, no calling any ex’s, no looking at all. But I want to find someone deffinately!
I want to believe, I love making things work, I LIKE relationships… But certainly not any old anything… that’s not me, not even close!
