17. Single and not looking....
as I am still healing from the end of a wonderful (for the most part) relationship. It's been almost 11 months (I can't believe it's been almost a year) since it ended and I still cry over her everyday (I'm a lesbian and this was what I thought was "the one"). I still think that there's a possibility we could get back together. I don't think it's fair for me to be "single and looking" while I still love someone else. I only hope that, if we don't get back together, I'll someday get over her and move on to another wonderful partneship.

It's not a fairytale. It involves work, patience, selflessness, and commitment. There are good times and bad times.

God, that sounds really boring, lke I'm preaching. But it's horribly true.

50. That's fair enough. But what is this "sex" thing you refer to?
Is it anything like when cuzzin Milford brings over his favorite sheep and I get lots of strange tinglings in my naughty bits? (It's been a looooooooooooooooooooooong time...)

Edited on Tue Feb-03-04 12:47 PM by VelmaD
I have a "friend with benefits" that I see infrequently but that doesn't mean I'm not also looking for the love of my life. There are a couple of people I'm interested in in that capacity but I have no idea how things are gonna turn out. That's part of the fun. :-)

34. Single and I don't see no ring on my finger right now
I have a friend that contacts me twice a week because he is depressed.
I can't keep waiting because I am not getting any younger and anyone can see I am on DU when I am not at work which means I don't have much of a life right now.

35. Regretfully have the friends with benifits
It had been awhile, so I decided to start a friends with benefits but I have a very guilty conscious because I believe she is starting to want a real relationship now and I like to consider myself single and looking. So, if I do the right thing soon, I will be officially single and looking.

Came out of a long-term relationship (6 years) a few years ago, have been super selective since then. A few dates, some friends with "benefits", but nothing serious. Living in WV, having trouble finding folks with similar tastes.

42. Moribund. As in "In Mothballs".
I must really be afraid of being alone, y'know?

The "Relationship" consists of her bitching about everything from her job to how much her phone bill is, and me trying hard not to get caught "tuning out"....

44. Married for the second time
and this time works a lot better than that first mistake! It'll be five years in April, and we've been together almost 11 years.

(Oh, and I'm married to another DU oldtimer, JohnYawl.)

48. long term relationship here
6 1/2 years and going strong. We'll get married as soon as she finishes grad school next year (her family has this hangup that she'll quit school if she gets married before graduation).

We're not really financially ready for kids or stuff like that so its easier to just remain "dating" for the sake of world peace. We act like an old married couple anyway.
