how old are you op?

i have to confess to finding the men in my age group 50+ as being rather odd

i have resorted to plan B...i have 2 dogs [bugrin]

i wish that they had been my plan A as they are much more fun than xh

i guess what im trying to say is what do you want this 'someone' for?

does it have to be the opposite sex?

looking men my age are well scary Grin

I still want someone though - I would love to hold hand and nuzzle

hand holding and nuzzling would be nice...

the mindless talk about sheds/sport/slurping tea/snoring/dirty pants on the floor/sharing my chocolate/endless moaning about man flu/shushing children/bed hogging/unable to follow simple shopping instructions/breathing in my ear gets on my wick

I have decided I do NOT wish for a relationship right now as I am enjoying being single after 7 years single I feel I have finally got the hang of it.

It feels so liberating and such a relief!

I think it helps that I have been married 3 times before I had my son (who is now 7) and I ended all those relationships myself so I have never really felt 'dumped or rejected. So I realise how hard it can be being in a relationship and making it work.

There is nothing on the market from what I can see although I have only been looking online for the past 2 years or so since my son was in school I just was not in the mood before.

It is just in the past week I have decided not to go around 'looking' should somebody slowly emerge all well and good but I know so many well adjusted happy single women friends I know I am not alone and although invariably we are more skint than the married ones I would guess we are invariably no more unhappy than they are, just perhaps a bit more stressed if our children are still quite young.

I don't know if this helps??

a quick visit from the childen's dad usually cures me... he is due today... I do miss being able to go and sit on the loo without having to wipe the seat first.

cures me too goodfreye....every other weekend I am reminded what it is to be with the controlling, grumpy and out and out miserable father of my DD. Three years on, all of it single, DD, the dog and i have a happy, relaxed and calm life. Lovely.

That said, I am a true believer that "it" happens when you are least expecting it. Enjoy life and see what happens. [busmile]
