I really don't see a need to not date at all, perhaps back burner it on a low flame but don't put it out all together. If you find someone you like spend some time if not then don't and keep doing what you are doing now.

I think this should just be a time for you alone. Put dating on the backburner and concentrate on your goals. It is very distracting to be in the beginning of a relationship and everything involved with that. Congradulations on your weight loss and good luck.

One of my good guy friends did it for a year. He was celibate. Had just completely gotten ripped apart during a divorce and was left basically homeless living with his parents with his two kids. So he took the year off and got his shyt together including getting back in the gym. He's now got his own place and making 90K a year and looking better than ever. He said it was the best decision to focus on what was really important to him at that time.

I suffer from ADD like symptoms too. How have I coped with transitioning to a new phase in my life?

I like what I'm doing with what I want. You can have the power to transform your life however way you want to.

Empowerment is all about knowing you can change your situation for yourself and going for what you really want.

When the time is right, I know when I'll be ready for a romantic relationship.

Sometimes, if you're not quite ready and are getting your life together, a relationship might be a bit demanding when you just don't have that time for yourself to get yourself somewhere.

I've always been one to believe- if you go for what you want and you're content, things will fall into place naturally.

You'll meet the people you want to meet in your life, because you come from a place of calm (being disorganized can be really chaotic), and you come from a place of want instead of need. The difference between the two is about how truly content and happy your are with yourself. You attract the similar in that way.
