How do you know I AM? LOL! I've been married, and have also been in two very long term relationships, (other short terms along the way) and learned my lessons. I'm very particular now, and I won't settle for anything less than I derserve. I'm a very honest and sincere person, and I expect nothing less from anyone I meet.

I do date, but I choose to spend my time with people who are upfront and don't want to do any game playing. When and if I get into another relationship, I play it safe, but I don't lead anyone on either. I get to know them. I put friendship before anything else. I can get sex from anyone, but I can't find a best friend everyday, so I don't fill my head with a bunch of expectations.

I really find I meet more quality people that way. I want to be with someone who wants me for me. I've always gotten comments on my looks, but I find the people that get to know me beyond that, are the ones that stick around and want to know more. If they just want to get laid?. well they can go somewhere else!

You are right, I should not have ASSUMED you were single but I had a gut instinct. Seems like very few people on this site ( even the veterans) are actually married or in committed relationships, which is slightly concerning. I used to be like you and very selective who I dated. I should not settle and deserve to evaluate who I am dating closely, but, the guys I tend to fall for (minus a few wall st. types) are bad boys and have a lot of time on their hands. More time means more attention for me. I like that a lot. I am starting to think that whomever I am with will have to give me a lot of attention because I am unsure of myself at times. It makes me feel good when I am needed by a man I am dating. I feel special.

ALSO, who would PEOPLE say you look like?. since we are discussing outward vs. inward beauty... :)

Can I tell??

Hmmm... Well people quite often (I don't get it really) say I look like either Goldie Hawn, or Uma Thurman. I take that as a huge compliment.

Actually, quite a lot of people I know on here are in very long term committed relationships. One of my best friends on here, I talk to almost everyday, and she has been happily married for many yrs with 2 beautiful children. Another has a wonderful wife that he can't help but brag about every time we talk. There are so many of us that are in different parts of our lives.

I have 3 stepkids, and a step grandbabe that I love to death! They talk to me more than they do to their father. I don't feel old enough to have all of this, since I am still young, but they are the light of my life. If it wasn't for their (idiot) father, I would have never had them in my life, and I couldn't imagine it without them.

That is why I say... I look for a man to be a friend first, and a lover second. There are so many other things that make a relationship.

My computer crashed again! :(

Farrah?. does that mean I could have been married to the "Six Million Dollar Man?" ::weeping::

Sorry AmExp, just a little fun to lighten it up a bit. We all need a laugh right?

Hahaha. Yeah, we sure do. Any light-hearted conversation is always a plus. I am gearing for school ( summer flew by) and I will have to face this person again ( more than likely). As many have already said, I need to make sure that I am mentally healthy and happy which will already by annoying for my ex. Thanks to everyone who has helped.
