i have always heard that you will get a good relationship when you aren't really looking for it that when the time is right that it will somehow find you and that things will go great for you, and things like that...and i did wait for mine and it was like it was just meant to be because one night she found me and just started talking to me and it has been going strong for eight months ever since then, and its still going great...so i was just wondering about all of you, were you looking for your current relationship or did it find you? i would like to take this time to thank everyone for taking the time out of your day to come by and read and review my discussion and hopefully answering, and trying to help me, and i hope that you all have a great day and night tonight, thanks again for taking the time to stop by.

I was definitely not looking for the relationship I am in. Last Thanksgiving, I ended a relationship & I was on a man hating strike. I decided why not have a little fun & talk to a few guys. I ended up only talking to one. I didn't want it to get serious, because I frankly, was in no mood to deal with a relationship again. God had other plans for me. On Christmas Eve I got a package & was told not to open it until the next day. This man was in Iraq sending me presents. The next day I got on webcam to open it & it was an engagement ring and a wedding ring. He asked me to marry him over webcam. He came home a month later & two weeks later we were married. He is my soulmate. I never expected it to happen. We have had many bumps in the road, but we are young and in love. I am happily married to a soldier & because of our geographical location right now; we will spend our first wedding anniversary in Ireland. I wish we could be back in the states, but what girl would pass up Ireland. I know for Christmas he is taking me to Italy. It is supposed to be a surprise(shh!) but he doesn't do well at hiding bank records. :) I definitely say when you aren't looking for it; you find it. To me, if you are looking for your happily ever after, you end up settling. You want it to work so you make excuses for what you don't like. Love is beautiful & it can't be rushed.

If this was my thread, you'd get a best response! You are absolutely correct. When you look, you focus on the wrong things. If you just have the mindset of I'm taking my time, I just want to have fun and friends, things will mean more and be better. One definitely does settle when 'looking'.

When I met my Hubby, I was rebuilding my life after a break-up with my ex-b/f of 9 years. It was about a year later and I was finally working, learning the internet and decided to start making friends (all of mine were lost in the break-up) and along came Hubby. He had gotten divorced 6 months earlier from a 17 year marriage. So neither of us were looking for anything more than friends...someone to talk to. After a rocky start (I thought he was another internet guy hitting on me) we started talking and it was like a landslide...things just came together that fast. We've been together 8 years and married 2 years. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

I was not looking for a relationship. I actually had just ended an almost 3 year relationship. In speaking with a friend, he said "you are pretty and young, you can date, just take your time"....So although I had just left a relationship, I went online made a profile and met a few guys. Well not really met but "online met" a few guys. We emailed each other via the site until one asked me out on a date. A real date! I wasn't ready and didn't want too...but my friend said to go it's just dinner and a movie. So I went...we just celebrated 2 months of marriage yesterday. This all happened this January 2008. :-)

I am tired of waiting. hehe I am 51 years old and have been married two times and am now single again. I had no choice but to leave my husband of 11 years, just 6 months ago. Now that is another story to be told, but not in this discussion as it is not about the subject you posted here. I think you could be right, though. I know when I met my second husband I was just getting my life to be content and along he came. It was good for about 7 years but the last 4 years have been hard and we fought all of the time. I guess I have to wait again for Mr. Right to come along, but I am not going to just sit at home as he won't come knocking on my door. I moved to a different city and since I don't know anyone I have been looking for some friends on plentyoffish.com but so far haven't made any new friends. I am a little afraid to meet someone that way but I have to take the initive if I want to meet some people. Alrighty then, talk to you later. Your friend, Chris.

I was not looking for a relationship, mainly just a friendship and my now husband he was the one that actually found me. Our relationship has been going so well. I do believe that when you go and look for that certain person that most of the time it does not turn out right. In the past when I searched for that relationship, it always ended in the wrong way and so I guess I kind of just gave up and then popped up my now husband. Sometimes I guess we just have to be patient and stop trying to speed up things and just let things happen when they happen.

I was not looking for a relationship when me and my s/o 'found' each other in chat one evening. I was going through divorce, had been on my own almost a year and in no way was wanting to be in a relationship. That is until I met him lol. We met in person only 3 weeks after that first chat (that lasted 6 hours), and 2 months after that first chat I was moving 1600 miles for us to be together. We've been together 3 1/2 years now.

I definitely was not looking for what turned into my marraige. I had broken up with my boyfriend of 6 years about 6 months prior and was just working, saving up money, and spending time with my friends. I was working in a gym on a military base. My now husband came in every day to play basketball as he knew noone in the area and didn't have anything better to do. After a couple months of coming in every day and having polite little conversations, he finally asked me out on a date. And here we are three and a half years later with a one and a half year old daughter! Boy, I never saw that one coming!

i am looking for a relationship right now but i have no success as of now. i have some feelings to a particular person but he does not seem to show any interest on me. i hope that i will be able to express or show my feelings without looking that i am running after him. i don't want to give him the impression that i am pushing to him when he is just not showing interest. i just don't know though if this person really does not like me or what.

Well I was certainly not looking for my relationship. I did not think I was ready for one. Well needless to say I am in one. I have been with him for almost 12 years and we have been happily married for 9 years. Good luck.
