But honestly. I don't see myself getting married, not because I don't want to, but because I'm a romantic. I'm looking for true love, which nowadays is hard to believe exists. I don't plan on ever settling for less than 'the one'.

Skywriter, we are in the same pot of soup. Am happy been single, that's what counts.

The thought of getting married again fills me with more fear then facing down a hurricane, a man breaking into my house with a gun or just about any other thing I can think of...

Last time I felt terribly trapped...I don't relish feeling that way again.

Yep, you definitely ready for no man.

You got a bad case of man fear.

Bout like one of them cowboys that got bucked off some bull. The one somebody should have taken by the horns. Probably went to the right when yall was leaning to the left.

You be definitely not ready to be gitting in that ring again with no man folks. You be needing to refocus, retune, readjust and reorder priorities.

Now quit blaming them man's folk and git a game plan how you are going to approach this here new World Order. Git youself a string of boys, bout like ordering pizza and learn the ropes.

You just need to learn how to ride them here man's boys, keep smiling with the hand in the air, show them who is boss lady. Plenty of nice wimp boys, you jist got to get a bit more selective. And yup, forget about marrying all of them. Git your favorites, saddle them loose and talk them into the reins.

Girl, you don't have to break them all, just ride a few.

Wow, he must have been good, yall got a bad case of saddle burn.

I'm sorry Cosmic but I don't now treat sex and relationships casually nor will I ever.

I am a single parent, raising one daughter without the assistance of her Father...she comes first...the absolutely LAST thing I would want in my life is a so called string of men in my life...

As far as blaming men...once again we have someone making alot of assumptions about me...I have been in some bad relationships but no one held a gun to my head...I ignored the red flags...how can I blame someone else for something like that?

Putting all the blame on the other person in a relationship just isn't realistic...AND doing that makes it so you can't really examine your part and set things right.

I'm just curious about all the married people here, not that I don't enjoy your company but isn't your spouse missing you??? I can think of more then one thing I would be doing at this very moment, the house is quiet, my daughter is in bed...it wouldn't involved a computer.

Cosmic, I know you are trying to be funny, but your not.
I don't think Lisa wants any a dem dar saddle sores.


Lisa, it is best for a single parent, simply concentrate on their children. That is what real parents do. Good for you!

My DH is on the freeway, 2+ hours each way commute!! If he was home I sure would not be pounding these keys!!
