Life Is Passing Me By

[stillabrunette]

I need some romance in my life I have become a shop a holic because it is the only thing I do these days.

[Buenchico]

I'm unsure as to what type of response you're hoping for here (other, possibly, than someone offering you a date!).

You need to ask yourself which of three courses of action you wish to follow:

1. Continuing with your life as now, hoping to meet Mr Right in the checkout queue at Asda ; or

2. Getting involved with some activities that you'll enjoy anyway (which could be anything from line dancing to hang gliding!) but where there might be a better chance of meeting someone who you could pair off with ; or

3. Actively man-hunting (assuming that you're 'straight', of course!) by registering with an online dating agency and/or attending speed-dating events.

So which will it be?

Going back a year or 30, I had 5 years on my own, career getting in way
(RM's) but not seen as a problem, by me anyway. Went out for a drink one night, with a Mate, and she just walked into my Life, (in a bar of course).
Together 30 years, Married 27.
Hang in there Girl, there's someone out there for everyone!
Get out with friends if you can, it works.

I would go for Buenchico's second option. I shop at Morrisons and have never seen anyone in the queue who I'd want to get to know better (although you might have more luck at Asda). I've also tried his third option (which I don't want to talk about) as it was a very bad experience , never to be repeated.

You meet much nicer people in Waitrose tbh!

I'd stick with the shopping as long as it's for handbags and shoes...

Or the 4th option - Dizmo

Now there's an offer it's hard to refuse!

Don't let the image of my avatar put you off - I have all my own teeth.

You could try volunteering, Tai Chi classes, reading groups, anything that means you have to get out of the house and meet people. How about responding to singles ads in the better newspapers? Just get out there, but don't look as if you're on a man hunt.

So does that Beastie in your Avatar by the look of it!!!

[Dizmo]

Baldric: Nah, he was missing his back set of Molers :(

[Baldric]

He sure as heck doesn't look too sociable tbh!

[Dizmo]

He was yawning lol. He was soft as a brush that dog! Raccoon dog!

[Baldric]

PS
I like him!

[ummmm]

Romance is over rated!

What do actually want? Flowers, dining out, or company?

[mrs_overall]

Stick to shopping with the occasional foray into casual sex if desired. Romance is over rated and never lasts

excellent advice mrs_o apart from the shopping bit

Are you single OR married?

Married i bet....children off your hands, no grandchildren to exude over, husband boring, sex non existent or totally predictable which makes it boring......

this is NORMAL......it is called being married.

I would agree totally with the above post of Buenchico.

Smarten yourself up a bit though.
