LOL, LOL...Ain't it the truth! I have a Special "Heart" on my Valentine Post today, too.....Take a peek if you get a chance, dear CK! Hope you had a lovely Calentines Day.....Mine was quiet with a few E-cards and some phone calls....No Candy! (Just as well....lol)
Thanks. I did have a nice day actually - despite the fact that it was bloody cold! Spent a few hours discussing philosophy.... had a nice talk with an attractive young woman... then home to watch a romantic musical.
JM asked: but who did you send it to CK? ;-)
Alas I have no one to send Valentine's cards to... at least no one who would appreciate the gesture - probably.
Don't worry CK, I'm a firm believer in "there's someone out there for everyone." It might take awhile, but when you find the right person, it truly is bliss. I never would have imagined the great relationship I have now with my partner, based on the countless previous relationships I had that were just horrible! I went 6 years without dating because I was so sick of the slim pickings and horrible relationships. It wasn't until I believed I deserved better that I finally found better. It takes willpower not to compromise on "good enough."

[laughs] If I had a nickle for every time...

I have come to the reluctant conclusion that I'm fated to be on my own - now the trick is to *accept* my fate [chuckle]

A criticism often levelled at me is that I'm just too picky. I remember clearly some years ago being asked for what I looked for in a woman... Reasonably good looking, reasonably intelligent with a reasonable sense of humour I answered. Aren't you expecting a lot was the reply. This was the only time I remember of having an almost overwhelming desire to punch a woman.
Fortunately I enjoy my own company and have good friends. I have had love in my life & I have had my great love (though it wasn't so great in places) but I don't honestly expect to see it again. Such is life I'm afraid.
Don't despair! I was always told I was way too picky too. My expectations were fairly reasonable I thought: intelligence, sense of humor, integrity, loyalty, and not lazy. I didn't even care about looks or wealth. It can still happen, when you least expect it. For me, not only was I not expecting it, I certainly wasn't expecting it in the form of a woman! That took me 3 years to get over, but luckily it all worked out in the end. I have no regrets. Keep your eyes open and your heart receptive. I have a friend from New Zealand who met (last year) a guy from England while at a conference. They are both "really unique" people (though I love them both dearly) and I really couldn't picture anyone right for them. Luckily they found each other, recently got married, and they are so well suited to one another and are such a fun couple. It can happen!
Both are in their mid-20's so too young for me (I'm normally more interested in women 10 years older than that) but they're both very nice people and I get one well with both of them. I also know that at least one of them has a steady boyfriend - hence my interest in both of them is pretty much a waste of my time.
I was thinking "married" inappropriate. *whew* Also, not all 20-somethings are alike. I was always "much older" than my chronological age. Most of my friends were 20 or more years older than me, so I wouldn't discount a person in their 20s. Maturity comes at different times for everyone. My nearly 60 year old ex still hasn't gotten past his Peter Pan 30s stage. I have another friend my age who claims she's been a 40 year old woman her whole life. You just never know.

Oh... I'm *well* beyond despair [laughs]
V V said: It can still happen, when you least expect it.
So true. My last relationship happened completely out of the blue... and probably at the point when I was just about to give up.
V V said: Keep your eyes open and your heart receptive.
Well, I *am* smitten by two rather inappropriate women at the moment.... [muses]
V V said: It can happen!
I'll keep you informed if anything *does* happen... [grin]
Uh-oh..."inappropriate"...???
V V said: Uh-oh..."inappropriate"...???
[laughs] Don't panic it's not that bad....

Panic over?
