For those of us....

...looking for "the one". I know there are lots of guys and gals on here that are alone and in search of "the one". In my case it's kind of funny, I'm always the friend. Most of my friends are guys. Always has been that way. I'm told I'm cute, funny and a blast to be around. If that's the case, why don't I have a SO? I'm okay to have as a friend, but guess I'm just not the girlfriend material. I've thought about that on occasion and with the holidays approaching it seems to cross my mind more often. As I'm sure it crosses your mind too. I'm not a girly-girl...I'm more comfy in jeans and a flannel shirt than a dress. I guess I'm destined to be just one of the guys.

I keep this on my desk to remind me that I'm sure eventually I will find "the one". I thought I'd share it with you.

"I am a collection of characteristics
Both physical and mental
That makes me completely unique
No one else anywhere
Is exactly like me
And I realize that not everyone
Who crosses my path
Will be interested
In what I have to offer

But my strength comes
From the belief
That Someone
Somewhere

Can and Will
Appreciate me
For what I am"

To those of you who have found "the one", congrats and cherish your time together. For those of us who haven't, know that someone out there will appreciate what you have to offer. Happy Holidays, everyone!
Hugs and peace,

Diva

When you least expect it ... they say that's when it will happen. Remember, it's better to be single than with someone you don't get along with too well. Keep being a sweetie and your Prince will arrive soon.

Very well put. I know lots of folks in so-so relationships just because they don't want to be alone.

Better to be yourself and single than in a shitty relationship. And yeah, the right person does seem to show up when you're least expecting it.

Pet Theory: when you're not looking for a partner, you're more relaxed, more fun to be around, and therefore a hell of a lot more desirable.

That's how it happened to me. I had just made up my mind that I wasn't going to meet "the one" for another 10 years, but in an instant my life changed and the girl I had been waiting for appeared in my life and everything fell into place.

Don't stress, don't be down, smile and remember that life is just prepairing you for the person of your dreams.

Not a comment on you specifically, because I don't know you, but it seems to me to be less disappointing to just appreciate myself for who I am. That doesn't mean I don't hope that "the one" exists out there (in reality there are probably many, many "ones" for each of us), or that I don't hope to cross paths with her someday when the timing is perfect for both of us. It simply means that I'd rather hang my strength and happiness hats on what I have today (myself), than on what I might have at some point in the future.

Happy holidays to you as well.
Blues,
Dave

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate myself. I'm a hell of a chick and I take care of myself. I'm definitely not sitting around waiting for someone. It would be nice if someday someone appreciated me for me. It would be nice to have a partner in crime, that's all.
