In my own world...it's just old for me to bother seeking a relationship. I'd rather be able to raise children while I'm still in my 20s.
The best laid plans...I thought I would be married at 21 and have my kids by 25. Instead, I got married at 25 and had my son at 27. And it was fine. Would've liked more than one, but it didn't work out that way. Now, I'd love to meet a guy who has teenagers. Here's hoping....
Is it too nosy of me to ask why? Just the stress of the distance, or fighting or something like that?
The stress of the distance. I'm lonely as hell, and this sucks. I'm gonna be done soon. I can't keep doing this shit. I'm only getting older.
Nope. If I transfer my job over there, I'd take one helluva pay cut. I can't live on a third of what I'm getting now.
Ah yeah, I forgot about your age limit. No, I don't have an age limit. But I won't settle, so if I end up single for years, so be it. But I'm not going to ever cut myself off from potentially finding a suitable partner. If it happens, great, if it doesn't, then it wasn't meant to be. I don't have a lot of friends. And of the ones I do, there is only one that has the potential to be open to doing things on the fly. But even then, it's a crapshoot with him because he's depressed a lot and doesn't want to do anything. My other friends require making plans weeks in advance. I may have one other friend that can, on occasion, do things on a moment's notice, but it doesn't happen very often. So, if I want to do things, I have to either ask my brother and sister-in-law (and they aren't always available) or do things myself. I'm tired of doing things by myself. I'm just done with it. It would be nice to have a companion that was open to doing things with me on an even semi-regular basis.
I hear you. I guess I'm lucky I still have friends that will do stuff so it makes it easier to not need a romantic interest for company.
Just one query... "It wasn't meant to be..." That's a cliched phrase I've heard countless times. But, to be fair...I would argue that it it's only when you officially just give up altogether.

I'm nosey today. What's your relationship status?....... in keeping with the question posed by the thread here for me nothing falls completely inside the available compartments given for me. i am single in the traditional sense with no obligations to others but i do live with another girl that i do love alot. { i am bisexual} her name is lana, and she dances with me at my club. it's different because she, and i grew up together, and have known each other all of my life. my love for her is kind of different because while we are lovers very much, we are also simple friends too of whom enjoy each other's company alot. we have talked about us in depth, and what we should expect from, and for each other so that there has never been any problems. we are fortunate too because there hasn't been any problems with many opportunities for them. there is no jealousies, there is no money arguments or anything like that so we are both very fortunate i believe. we also both love each other very much but it isn't quite such a romantic love. it is not just a relationship of convenience either because there are many other possible suitors lined up for either of us. part of that is just our simple exposure to so many people as well as both of us being dancers. kind of a typecast thing i think, goes with that territory sort of deal. we are not exclusive either in that we both date other people sometimes, and then for months neither of us don't date others. she, and i both extend courtesy though by informing the other of what we're doing with never a repercussion so it is unique i believe. lol, well that's my relationship status! omg, covering my mouth with my hand! please don't beat me up too bad about it all, k? alexis
