Wanted: a serious relationship

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Relationships are not the be all and end all of your life. At 22 get out their and live life to the full. Jesus I could write a book on this subject - however the bottom line is not very nice or worth it - but that has been my experience. Today I have a life filled with a few close friends, lots of other friends, bonk who I like and when don't have to put up with the bullshit that I see so many of my friends in relationships go thru. The lies, the games - who needs it. To many other experiences to be had.

Let go of "wanting a relationship" and concentrate on yourself and finding out what other things you enjoy and can do in life. I'm not heartless - I do understand the pain you are going thru and that awful saying of "It passes" is true then you wonder what the fk you ever saw in them.

I always feel weird with odd aged couple.

Oh well, each to their own ... as long as you don't impose your discomfort on others its all cool.

Looking for love on KB? Methinks you are looking in the wrong place..

Love is everywhere ... why not here? Especially if you value a common interest in bikes.

Take it from me this is a shit time too be single,when my marriage shat itself in Dec(few years ago) ,week after youngest daughters birthday,and didn't see it coming,kind of put a damper on xmas and new year.But ya get through it,with the help of truly good mates.Then a nice person walks into your life and all the crap can dissapear.Currently with wife I met on new years eve a while back,funny thing the night I went out,I had a feeling I would find someone,saw an ex girlfriend early on in evening,had no inclination to shag her,then a mate did the intro thing and we clicked,never looked back.

Love is everywhere ...

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes.
And love is all around me, and so the feeling grows.

Shit, now I have that song stuck in my head.

Sunhuntin, you seem cool, and you deserve somone who is good to you. I'm sure it sucks right now, but this too shall pass (the mantra of the Project Manager). Keep your chin up, stay positive, and you will meet the person you are meant to be with when you least expect it. Believe me, it happens.

You are 22 and want a 50 year old????

What the heck could a 22 year old have in common with someone
thats 28 years older or visa versa?

22 wanting a 50 year old says "Who's your Grandaddy?"

Sorry, I just vomited in my mouth.

The ability to settle for something that nobody else will look twice at?

And vice versa?

Nothing says love like desperation... Where's Dan? He's good with the ladies... He's told us on so many occasions

Not that there's anything wrong with 50 year-old's...

However, at times one thinks about "What if?" and if I found myself single again, (and assuming there was a single nice lady out there looking for an overweight, grey-haired, broken down old fart...), I look at those under 30 as being just kids. My "kids" are 23, 28 and 32, and I'd be looking at the 40+ age group.

I see older men with young chicks and I feel sorry for the girl, as, say, if I married a 22 year old,(younger than my "baby"!), in ten years I'd be 60 and she'd be 32, my son's age - in the prime of her life and wanting to do all sorts of energetic stuff!

I do sympathise with you, Sunhuntin, relationships are not easy and I count myself lucky to have been married 30 years to a woman I love more now than ever, and to know, and see, that she loves me, is the greatest thing in life. We had our tough times, and I realise that "there but for the grace...etc." However we stuck it out and tried hard and learned a lot and we are reaping the rewards. You are still very young, (sorry to sound like a Dad!), but don't sell yourself short, value yourself as a person worth loving and don't settle for whatever comes along just because you think you'll miss out if you don't take what you can get.

How about just going on www.nzdating.com ...

[Colapop]

Where's the fun in that?? It's far better to throw the option open to the masses on KB. You can garner equally as much sympathy as scorn on here...

NZdating will just get a series of Desperate Dans beating at her door.
