As is says above, feel free to tell us about a single friend or you so lewis and I can match them up. Please say whether they or you are male/female, tell us why they/you are single, your/their good points and why you like them.

TIA

I even got past that, scrooged.

I just wanted a good time.

Damn, two years I had, after the ex and I separated.

I went through hell and high water, and I was good-looking back then, and had no kids.

I just got over it and was like, Right, what can you do for me? If it's just between the sheets, that's cool, too. But speak up because if you're bullshitting well, I'm going to know.

Fair enough. I can see where you are coming from. I only had one true love and a string of idiots. Looking back, I wanted my first love but can't now as I went to his wedding a few years ago. I've been comparing everyone to him. He was like....Mr Darcy and I dumped him when I was very drunk!

DON'T!

I had one 'love' like that.

No one will compare to him.

But he didn't love me.

I love him, and he didn't love me and he doesn't care and heaven knows where he is now.

I'm not going to find out and I'm certainly not going to let him figure in the life I had now. Uh uh.

There's another. A person who did love me. For who I was.

Way back when. When we were both young.

But he never said. I wish he had. I found out later, from his best friend.

But by then it was too late and you know, I regret that, even though it wasn't my fault. Heaven knows what he thinks.

He was a good man, if not a great one. I loved him for him. He was born a wealthy family, but I had no cognisance of that back then and it would have mattered nothing if I had, only him.

And both our lives would have been soooo different. If only I'd known, how he felt.

And even if I never clap eyes on him, and God knows, I hope I never do, because I have enough regret as it is, nothing can change that, there's no going back.

I'm still 38. I still have 3 kids. I'm still how I am, where I am.

But if anything, I don't have time or energy for bullshit.

He does love me, he's told me which is a bugger. We're still in touch, he emails and phones and flirts but that's it. There will never be anything more. I've had two other friends who declared their love but as they were drunk at the time I didn't believe them. One was minted and got engaged to someone 6 months later but still indicates his feelings when he emails, the other is in a long term relationship and is a friend on FB. I've really screwed things up. The men here are all piss heads and I really hate that so I'd rather be single.

no, if they are even sniffing someone else when they declare their love they are full of it.

sorry, but they are.

i'm toying with the 'love of my life' right now.

i'm actually grateful to him now. because if it weren't for him and his damn games i wouldn't be here just now.

so let him MSN me away. he's so full of it.

wonder if his precious sarah knows what he is up to in his office?

scrooged · 05/01/2009 02:07

He's always done this. He left the city where we live because I'd dumped him and he didn't want to be here without me (apparantly).

I think I loved his qualities rather than him IYKWIM, gentle, kind but strong.

Rub it in with the ex.

ooh ooh mee mee. but can someone else nominate me i don't know what my good points are.

scrooged · 05/01/2009 02:20

We know you so you can nominate yourself. It's the friends that no one knows, it's kind of a reference that they are not axe murderers and so forth.

bumping this thread for you scrooged - it ought to carry on!

MrsSnape · 08/01/2009 09:46

Can I nominate myself?

MuthaHubbard · 08/01/2009 20:55

Can I nominate my almost ex husband?

thumbwitch · 09/01/2009 00:17

is he lovely ? if he's an almost ex, Mutha, why would you pass him onto a fellow MNer? Unless it's cos you've found someone even more fab and you want to share the joy?
