Trust me bro; you'll get plenty of attention. . .

I think I might use that one myself.

You will find the right person and look back and all of this and think "why was I so worried?" I could tell you some things I did when I was single that were really foolish, but there were so many of them, they'd probably shut me down for having too long of a post! Don't be too hard on yourself and keep on posting right here! Don't ever apologize for being yourself! There are alot of nice, young gentlemen here and you are one of them!

Oh Barry = we'll be living in Florida in 3 weeks. And - I have a daughter------

Just go on with your life and concentrate on doing what you like to do. Important to find someone with similar interests. It's always when you least expect it. It could be someone you already know but never thought of asking out!

I really shouldn't, but is she over 18? Does she like roller coasters and would travel around the country to ride them?



Well, on another subject, if the unnamed DIS'er appears at DIS Con II, I may have to stand on the other side of the room.

Barry-
I received this e-mail after reading your thread, and I thought of you.

1. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

2. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

3. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

4. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

5. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

6. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

7. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

8. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

9. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

10. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

11. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

12. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

STOP LOOKING AND YOU'LL TRIP RIGHT OVER HER.

 

[BarryHom]

Thanks for the replies. I think my heart has been bruised enough that I need a break.

BTW, do you ever get feelings to go back to an ex? Just curious...

 

[SonjaB]

Barry, the others are right. Take care of Barry for awhile, do nice things for yourself, get involved in something you're interested in, expand your personal horizons and when you're not looking for her......there she'll be. You're such a nice guy, generous, sweet......you have a lot to offer, the timing just isn't right yet. She's out there making her way to you, give her time to arrive. I promise it will be worth the wait.

{{{Hugs}}} Barry. So sorry things are looking glum for you right now. You're a good person... keep smiling. I really like the quote that J&D posted... "Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile."

Take care of yourself. I'm in a similar spot tp you, single and lonely, so I know how that feels. It stinks. Big time. So being in a similar spot I don't have too much advice for you, but hang in there Barry, you'll get through this. And easier said than done, but try not to worry about it. I'm sure one day in the (hopefully not so far off) future you'll be posting that you feel like the happiest guy on earth.

For your question "BTW, do you ever get feelings to go back to an ex?" I can take that two ways. Do you mean "do you ever have feelings to go back to an ex that you broke up with" or "do you ever have feelings to go back to an ex that broke up with you?" For the second question (an ex that broke up with you), yes I absolutely 100% have feelings to get back together again. More than you could imagine at times. Since he broke up with me though, that's not really my call, but yes, the feelings are so there.

As hard as it is, try to be happy Barry. Hang out with friends, do things by yourself for you, whatever it is that makes you smile.

Another {hug}.

Barry, it will work out, when you least expect it..

As for ex, well, hard to say.
It all depends on the ex, and how the relationship was.
Did it end friendly? Do you still talk?

Think long and hard about ex's, I've done that, and it was sad because we were friends, and then became "weirded" out after dating again...

 

[Poohbear123]

Don't feel bad, my 19 year old DS has just ended a relationship of 2 years. He even left home, got an Apartment and has been living with her for 5 months. However, when his money ran out, and she had to get a job, all of a sudden she met "someone else" and doesn't want to live with him anymore. Now he is stuck with an Apt. he doesn't really like, but has to stay there another 7 months, as that is when the lease is up. He said the same thing you said: "He's giving up on women for awhile." I will be at Dis Con and I will be glad to stand on the same side of the room with you!

With my bad experience (two abusive drunks ), I doubt I will EVER date again. I would love to have a good friend to spend time with and someone to talk to. However, I have given up finding the "right" person. So, no dates here, either!
