I think that hope is a powerful thing...sometimes that is what keeps you going... the hope that tomorrow holds

Well, I have not become hopeless nor given up hope, just changed how I see things. I keep seeing my inner terrain becoming prettier. Seems I look better to me all the time. So perhaps this is a sign I am about ready to seek again. Not look. I observe all the time so I always look AT love, just nor trying to pull it to me.
I think when the inner energy becomes more full, then the person that most would match me, will be drawn to me...effortlessly. Almost there. Still working on me.

Yes, I have been so fortunate to have had children for half of my life! 
It IS a different kind of love, but I think they have taught me more than I could figure out myself...
It will be there for someone else...I have no doubt

Yeah, Lori, it is very fulfilling. Pets are not quite the same. A lot of parents have no clue how much they have in their children. It may be challenging at times but the amount of love there...in MY opinion, makes up for it.

Yeah but how were you feeling when you stopped looking? Hopeless? Angry, resentful? Or happy so much inside you attracted him?

I can't recall ever LOOKING for love.
I've been there. It happened.
But never because of an active search.
I think I don't want to look for love.
Right now I'd rather look for something else.
But this is the Dating & Romance forum
not the Sex forum
So I shall say no more.

*cough* Take my word for it Jen, that can be very costly. For YOU! Many, many costs. You will not EVEN believe where and how it can cost you.

None of those.. I honestly wasn't even looking.. I just wanted to remain single.. if love happened that was great, if it didn't that was all good too.
When I met Ray I had no intention of falling in love.. but love had other ideas

I'm not really looking. If I find someone or he finds me, good. But it would be nice to have someone to share the good and bad times. Maybe someday...

You probably will have to choose regular or great.

I like the line from Little Women, "You don't need scores of suitors, you only need one, if he's the right one." With that said, yes, it does get tiring. I know this is an old saying and I'm rolling my eyes too, but everything happens for a reason. When I get discouraged I try to remind myself that. Sometimes it helps, and of course sometimes it doesn't. Everything else in my life, most of the other 'fronts' have been covered and I am doing awesome. I am actually getting my bachelor's degree right now. Interesting that I'm here, right? hahaha  I am getting myself to be in the best position possible. Yes, there are times when I want a husband for all the wrong reasons, but on most days, yes, I want a man in my life, but I don't want to need a man in my life. I want to make it so that with education and career, among other things, if I'm not happy, I don't have to stay..not that I wouldn't want to say, but I don't want to be trapped in a marriage simply because my future husband would be the only one who made the most money for the family, and kept telling me he was more educated that I was. I wouldn't want that. (I know of other women in that situation, and I told myself that would never happen to me, I wouldn't let it.) So, I'm making it impossible. I think women are conditioned, at least in America, that their lives arent' complete without a man who wants to marry them. It's not true. Sometimes it feels true, but it's really just a myth.
Yes. It's very tiring. lol

I totally agree that you should have a strong financial foundation for yourself. I too know several women who won't leave an unhappy marriage because of the finances. Being single ~ I've become spoiled. I get most of what I want quickly since I'm not adding another persons needs into the list. It's just a contrast if I have to wait ~ especially for sex ~ which I guess I could get quickly at the corner bar.....I'm just too picky for my own sexual appetite I guess.....
My friend came up with a saying after a nice picture of orange margaritas. "Patience ~ it's a waste of time."
Ideally ~ I'll fall head over tail in love with a very sexual man. I have a dream!!

Can I just put a word in here, even though I'm not lookng and not really in love either?
I think you have to keep dreaming...and meanwhile keep feeding your soul/spirit or whatever you want to call it with what makes you happy. Dream of the life you want and the kind of person who'll fit in that life may well find you, or more likely, you'll trip over each other, be it at the library, the museum, the camping store (my personal favorite) or wherever you feel happiest.
I love my SO but I'm not 'in love' with him. If anything happened between us, whether it's our choice or the way the cards fall, it would hurt a lot, but I know I'd be on plan B as soon as I got over the shock.
Meanwhile, remember that you have to kiss an awful lot of frogs before you find a prince, and I guess that goes for princesses too. Just don't obsess over finding love, just concentrate on finding what really makes you happy. I think a lot of us have absolutely no clue what that really is.
