It's been awhile since I've written a blog about dating/relationships, the things we go through, the highs and lows, the things that remind us of why do we do it? Or why we stay away from it? It's said that the best way to find that special someone is to stop looking  Many of us have stopped looking, and just accept life as it is, we have our friends and people we talk with, So what's the use in trying, just one more time, when up to this point it's ended for what ever reason, or even worse with a broken heart. We can get our hopes up, and even begin to think, could this be the one I've been waiting for, for what seems like a lifetime
That's when you know or realize what's been missing, That one person who brightens up your day, just by hearing their hello...  Their laughter, their conversation, their ways, everything keeps coming up so right, you know every different laugh they have and what it means, their voice becomes apart of your mind, their ways slowly work their way into your heart. Is it their look? no not really, (even though they could be a cutie  ) that may have captured your attention  or made you think, I like what I see,  but it's their ways, their voice, who they are as a person and how well they blend with the way you are, and the way you think.
It's amazing the power a complete stranger can have in changing your mind as to what you think, you thought you wanted or the direction your thoughts would travel in, suddenly their not a stranger, their someone who hangs on your mind and opens your heart to the possibilities, the more your able to see their heart the more your heart opens up to what could happen.  at first you think you should fight it, then your mind starts to wonder? Did we cross paths for a reason? After all you weren't looking and neither was I, How is it I know so many, but only you are in my heart and thoughts. Somewhere along the way, you find out their thinking the same thing
How can this be? we have never looked in each others eye's, we've never met in person nor have we felt each other's warm embrace, not even shared a kiss nor ever made love (but if we did  ) ( bad Popo)  Many have said it's different when you finally meet in person, I'm sure there is some truth to that but not always, especially when two have been completely honest and up front, and trust their hearts. Looks play less importance (especially at my age) lol..then how you feel down deep inside.Some people here know what I'm saying and have taken the plunge to finally meet and it worked out, now their sharing their lives together. That should give all hope that it can happen. No different then meeting countless people everyday in life and even dating, no guarantee's either way.
So what do you do? take a chance? or just say it doesn't work and if their not local it ain't happening? One of my favorite writers here and I won't mention Charli's name Gives me hope, reading her stories (blogs) the things she has went through, and never gave up hope, is an inspiration to me, and should serve as one to all, that it can happen it's not easy and she never said it was  but neither is life. We always hear the bad and rarely see or hear the good, allot has to do with timing, but good people always find good people by fate or by chance, maybe we read something someone say's and think Wow! and it goes from there.

I came to MD for the political and spiritual threads, now I don't even read them, the hate is depressing, the constent arguing fussing and fighting has taken any fun out of it... I came to the blogs for a change of venue, oh sure I post a little politics every now and then, but even that turns ugly.. so I'm trying to be more mindful in what I post and say.... I came in peace not to fight, "And everytime I think I'm out of it, they pull me back in"....   (a line from GodFather) Anyway I've met allot of people here who have welcomed me here and have proven to be really great peeps. So the price of the admission has been well worth it... 
Just thinking out loud....
enjoy your weekend MD...
Oh and Go Vikes.....

I wrote this quote for what your blog speaks of:
When we place our love under lock and key, we are safe from harm, yet those who deserve our love are left unprotected.

Great blog!
I am one that decided to give up looking. Although I would absolutely love to have that special someone in my life, I figure I may as well get comfy with being single for life. It is just less stressful that way, and less disappointing. I figure, if it is meant to be, God will send him across my path when the time is right (and when he crosses my path, I hope I am not out for a swim in the lake and miss him ).
I still go out on dates when asked, but don't get my hopes up any more. The last two, both in the past few weeks, were "milk duds" and didn't make it past the first date...... they were both BIG duds and both obviously looking for a woman with a roof and a paycheck...... two more to go under my file: looking for mommy substitute with benefits.

If the good Lord wants me to have someone in my life, he will have to really make it apparent, otherwise, I am not searching, only enjoying each day and my friends.

I appreciate what Lovestobake had to say "Could be cause I am italian, but; have loved & lost & would do it again. I am doing good POPO, thanks for asking." But, I kinda dispute the old saying so I changed it a bit to say "Its better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all" Now, I feel much better !!

Hola Fire.....
Great blog!
I am one that decided to give up looking. Although I would absolutely love to have that special someone in my life, I figure I may as well get comfy with being single for life. It is just less stressful that way, and less disappointing. I figure, if it is meant to be, God will send him across my path when the time is right (and when he crosses my path, I hope I am not out for a swim in the lake and miss him ).
I still go out on dates when asked, but don't get my hopes up any more. The last two, both in the past few weeks, were "milk duds" and didn't make it past the first date...... they were both BIG duds and both obviously looking for a woman with a roof and a paycheck...... two more to go under my file: looking for mommy substitute with benefits.
Thanx.... Fire we all have at one time or another, yet deep down inside their is that little flicker of hope that maybe just maybe the right one will somehow find their way into our life. I agree with you, getting comfortable with the idea it just isn't gonna happen, helps soothe the mind a bit, but our soul yearns for that connection. Lol...on out taking a swim who knows he could be floating right pass you.. Sometimes I've thought that maybe the ones we meet who are not what were looking for, are lessons and eye openers for us to see what we don't want to settle for. When you find that person that fits, it's not allot of work and seems to happen when you least expect it. It even takes you by surprise
Good luck, I know milk duds are for movies not real life

Hola Pretty Green Eyes...
Sorry to hear the last one was bizzarre.... that just sounds kinda crazy..  I hear ya sometimes rolling solo can be content with no worries and feeling completely free to do as you want. On the other hand dinner for one instead of two can be lonely, and those sleepless nights when you just wish their were two arms to hold you and someone to love.. But I completely understand where your coming from.. Hey you never know, sometimes it happens when you least expect it, and feel like life alone is the way it's suppose to be, but I really don't think our creator wants to see us alone, that's why he put these crazy things on earth we can't figure out, called women... I'm kidding! I know what women want.............Everything! That's right I said it! I'm playing no hate mail ladies I love you all... Popo tip toes out of the room....looks both ways.. Run.......Popo..... Run...

I will never give up and never quit being open to love. Shoot, I even tried the long distance thing. That one didn't work, but it didn't discourage me either. One of my biggest philosophies in life is "Never be afraid to take a chance".

Hola BandT.....
Good Girl...... see atleast your open for options the LDR thing doesn't always work out, but then again neither does the local dating thing either we do know some here who it has worked for.... I like that..."Never be afraid to take a chance". So many are and so many are just discouraged.
as always thanx for your thoughts...

Hello Lass.....
Hey it all starts somewhere, whether it's working out or just just stepping out to see what's happening. I here ya...there are times were we just don't won't to be bothered with it. Some understand some don't.. I guess it depends on where they are at the time. We totally agree, when your not ready, your just not ready, and if you allow someone to talk you into it, even that doesn't work. Personally I think we have to be at the right place in our life where were open to it, and then if the right one happens along oooooooh la la
I'm so glad to see you back and blogging, again, hon.
Awwwwwwww Thank you Sweety...
