    Sometimes I do, but then you have to look on the bright side of being single - doing what you want, when you want to. There are of course negative aspects as well, and those can't be denied.

    You will find someone, it just might take some time.

    I suck at being positive. Optimism is not my strong point.

    Well, everyone has felt that way. I hate myself for this, but I have to constantly be reassured that someone special for me is out there. Just for me. And I'm just for him.

    I'm a huge skeptic of many things, so well... some of it just doesn't sound right. But, as many people on here have told me many times before, pitying yourself for it won't find you a partner. It's also unhealthy to look for a partner just for the sake of having one. You want to have a bond, a connection to each other.

    Just thought I'd throw that out there. I feel happy today. :grin:

    Well, when I was single, after my first divorce, and still thought I was straight, I went years without a date. I was lonely and thought, "That's it--I'll be alone forever." Then, out of the blue, I got back together with an ex-boyfriend (from high school and college) and then only 4 months later we married.

    Now, of course, that I've come out, we're getting divorced, but the point of this story is that love can come at you when you least expect it and from unexpected places. Don't give up.

    Every single day I wake up... :frowning2:

    I'm so socially awkward and I don't know if I can trust anyone with my heart again... I really.. I had someone that I had a real connection with that I really loved and I f***ed it up by being... me... :tears:

    there is no one out there who is willing to spend that extra amount of time on me.
    I'm not getting any younger either.

    It's not that I don't think it's possible for me to find someone, I just have serious issues with actually pursuing or being someone. I feel like ill be condemned to hell or something. (I don't need a lecture on how that isn't true either, it's just something that's been drilled into my head since forever and it's never going to leave me).

    So in the end, I feel like ill end up alone.

    I may have come off a little cold on that one... :S Sorry.

    I'm sure we all feel those days / moments where we're all, "I don't think I'll find the right person. I'm social awkward, have trust issues, etc."

    It's hard, but love can come from the strangest places. It also tends to come when you least expect it. Just keep your mind open to new possibilities, and then you can see what fairytale unfolds. :grin:

    There are posts I've made on EC inthe past talking about how I never thought I'd find anyone interested in me and I'd never have a relationship. Didn't end up that way.

    I worry about finding someone as well. But, right now I'm focused and building a community and network. I don't have any gay friends except for all you good people here at EC and the people in my men's group. First of all, I just want some gay buddies to hang with. I don't feel at all ready for an intimate relationship.
