Just that really.

It started last night when I sat having yet another conversation with myself.

I will never ever ever get used to the constant feeling of being alone, I just hate it too much.

I really don't think that is the case emma unfortunatly.

I know I don't go out a fat lot, but even when I do I don't get any interest what so ever, not one bit. Also, on dating sites I never get any inteest either. People read that I have three kids and thats it.

I've been seeing endless amounts of guys but basically they all just seem to be looking for "no strings fun" I get so bloody mad. I career between being a hermit and meeting these wally's. Feck feck feck!

Don't worry, I realise that I am being extremely pessamistic, but at the end of the day, I am not sure anyone has enough hope left after 2.6 years.

((((((hugs)))))) nut.

I know how it feels. These sort of days feel so meaningless, dull, and lonely. Not rying to make you feel worse, just to say I hear ya.

I never expected, ever to be so alone, at this age.

Mhamai · 15/07/2008 19:58

Ah cool! you never know, new house move, studies, new man? stranger things have happened.

Remotew · 15/07/2008 19:59

I was divorced when only in my mid 20's with no kids I thought I would meet someone great very soon. 20 year + later and guess what I didn't meet that great person just a load of losers.

Sorry this isn't cheering you up is it. Well DD is now 14 and I've done it all alone these years and it's not been too bad. We are really close and have had a fun life together.

Just recently I've started to feel down about still being alone. So can a veteran join you in being sick of being an LP.

piratecat · 15/07/2008 19:59

nope, no news. i hate even thinking about him now, as altho i had to go for it, i also feel like i walked into a self made let down of a sitch iyswim!!!

Ive got to walk to the garage, forgot to get milk earlier. God the excitement, I can barely contain myself! but would love to join back up with you all for a natter/moan etc if you are still here when I get back?

tortoise · 15/07/2008 20:04

Another lonely lp here. I feel like you all too.
I went to a friends 50th birthday party on Saturday night and i spent most of the time sat alone while DC had fun dancing. I felt so alone and wished I had a partner who could be there with me. Someone to talk to etc like everyone else who was there. It made me feel very .

Mhamai · 15/07/2008 20:05

Oh and welcome eve.

Mhamai · 15/07/2008 20:06

Welcome tortoise Right off for the milk.

allgonebellyup · 15/07/2008 20:08

i am the same, but i do get a lot of attention from men, i am just v picky and never seem to fancy any of them.
All the ones i do fancy, even if they are giving me the eye, are taken.

i am kind of resigned to the fact that i will be on my own for a very very very long time, and Abouteve has just confirmed this for me!

God i miss sex. Do you think it is bad to have a fling or two?

prettyfly1 · 15/07/2008 20:09

lol. think i may have started a trend with the aarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. thing. do you know what i hate. that everyone assumes i need someone. I dont frigging need someone. i pay everything, do everything and carry everything. I WANT someone. I want to feel like a woman and not a flaming drudge, to have a friend and yes ladies some ..............SEX..........................Ah well. back to the mills and boon.

Remotew · 15/07/2008 20:23

allgone, You won't necessarily end up like me. I used to be v picky. The last guy I fancied was taken too but very much up for it. It's a shame as we got on so well too. A real player.

It's true about not needing a man. It's wanting something special that just seems so elusive. I do not intend to stay on my own through my old age so I must erm lower my standards.

tortoise · 15/07/2008 20:25

Now i have DD1 awake coughing
I want someone else to deal with it. I have had enough for one day!

shybaby · 15/07/2008 20:39

I cant really remember what its like to live with someone after 10 years on my tod. How sad is that!

I hate coming in from work knowing I have to clean the house, that i'll have another row with dd come bedtime and that ds will use every excuse in the book to keep coming downstairs until I go to bed because at age 11 he's still scared of the dark.

I have met guys but if something's not right im less inclined to give it a go anyway because of confusing the kids. So I mostly stay alone.

Mhamai · 15/07/2008 20:52

Oh Tortoise, hope she settles for you. ((( )))

Shybaby you literally could have written that post for me word for word.

Anyhoo, have to go again, forgot, have plumber in first thing for a leaky tap and the bathroom's a tip!

charliecat · 15/07/2008 21:00

Can I throw myself in here too. Cant be arsed with it either.
Do however prefer the DEAFNING silence to the HDEOUS atmposphere my house used to have Nutty can I pick your brains on MSN?

tortoise · 15/07/2008 21:01

DD1 is back in bed. She didn't want to go though.
I am so bored. But too tired to bother to do anything that needs doing!

ChasingSquirrels · 15/07/2008 21:02
