It is so true right now! I wish I could stop having these feelings! I know being human has alot to do with it! This happens alot when I am stressed out,read books where people fall in love or(this sounds silly) when I see my favorite pro footall player being interviewed! I refuse to date because I will get hurt! I also will start acting like my mother! I don't want to do that! I dream of Mr.Perfect and I know he the only man I can trust to be in a relationship!! I am 48 years old and wish I could put this feelings away forever! If I could I would have some cofidence and not have myself on the back burner all the time!I'm so sick of this pain!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hun, I've got a few years on you, and I would love to meet "Mr. Right" and I'm not settling for "Mr. Right-Now." However, I'm not breaking my heart over not having him. I'm not going to suffer because I don't have a man. I don't NEED a man to be happy. I don't need the pain of him hurting me because he goes looking for someone else? I have a home, a job, a cat (or 20) and I can be happy with that. And if he comes along, he'd better understand that the cats were here first....

Well, I guess you have to do something if you don't want to always be in the back burner. Be brave and play dangerous things, like go to a pub and start flirting. Mr. Perfect is not real, so don't wait for him. Life is an experience, so if you failed the first time, you may get smarter the next time. Age is not a factor, so don't think 48 is old. There are many 60 years old women got married to 30ish years guys. Start enjoying your life.

You have got to be kidding! I am not a bar person! If I go to a bar I'll be a f@cking wall flower! It is also to darn dangerous to go to a bar alone! I don't even like going to a bar with anyone! I just don't like bars! I would love to end up with a guy younger then me but I'm not for the bar sence at all! Yikes!

You sound depressed .Arent you?How about meeting doctor for curing that depression.Once oyu are confident,secure and happy you will attract lot of good people.There are up and downs in life .Life is just like that.Cheer up your mood and start working on yourself.

Have you figure out what holds oyu back?What are the reasons of your lower confidence?May be you dont know how to dress,how to communicate effectively with people.There is solution to everything but you need to figure out problem first and no one else can do that,but you one have to do that.

I do get depressed and I guess I am right now! I have seen a doctors over the years to help with that but I have gone so much over the years I still am burnt out and rather not go back yet! Some of my therapy was good some wasn't! I have battled confidence problems all my life! I continue to struggle with it and I'm 48! It stinks and the more I work on the problem the more I stay the same! Life sucks!

I'd say, Blue65packer, go get up, dress up and walk out of the door. Get a life. You'll see there are so much things you will learn to enjoy out there. I'm not perfect nor fitting to give u a word or two but I'm giving you them anyway. Life is not a bed of roses nor a walk in the park and AS ALWAYS IT HAS NO GUARANTEE!!! Whether you open up yourself and your heart to someone, eventually you will get hurt. Hurt comes in many ways. but you know what is sooo good about taking the risk of getting hurt, the feeling that we loved and we have been loved even if the love did not end in the way fairy tales always do. Don't waste your life feeling afraid. You deserve to be happy and you can be one if only you would choose to. One thing more, there is NO PERFECT PARTNER. Only less perfect partner who wants to give his loved one a close to perfect relationship.:-) Goodluck to you. :-)

I have heard alot of this crap before! I know there is no perfect relationship! I have a life! It isn't much but it is a life! I'll be happy once I get my confidence were I need it to be! The speed I have been going it will take another 30 years! Feelling along just gets me depressed and this isn't helping!

Glad to hear you have a life... If you want to take things slow, then so be it. It is your choice. One last word: You are a very special person and God created you beautifully, You only need to see that.And, I assure you, you are not alone, never will!

you know anyone who is going to stay with you forever will always be you. Others will always be there to support you along the way for a brief while then you and they all will eventually move on and thats the law of life or you may call it nature. Only change is the permanent thing nothing else...we all are lonely and alone even those who you seem to see in relationships. because people are different and they need their space there are fairy tales too but not fairy tale endings...live life while you are waiting for your Mr. perfect ...what if he had already come and moved on because you refused to give him one chance to date you...tomorrow will never come unless you live in the present...venture out if you do not want to date others make a date with yourself, go out treat yourself to a cup of coffee or ice cream or a movie or simple walk in the garden and look up and say Thanks to you being you and being to feel the fresh air on your cheeks and blue sky above your head...feel the dance in your steps start loving yourself even if you do not feel like it force yourself to do this and see if you don't already feel better...love and hugs

I have been trying to lovr myself for years! I don't know if I ever will! One of my problems is I always end up putting myself on the back burner! Something gets in the way! I believe in some situations I like to avoid that subject because I got don't want to deal with it! I just love battling myself!

Lonely kills Don be anti social. - Join classes held in your community centres.Maybe there your can find new friends and same time learn something new.
When if your are lonely beside dating , you can find new friends.Try joining groups. I see from movies, your can join free classses or cheap classes in your community centre? Or join some classes , your can find new friends and same time learn new skills or get new hobbies.Find some useful or something your like in your community centres.While joining those classes just smile be pleasant.

Good ideas but not for me! I have friends but all of them are married and most have kids. I lose my patience trying to get together with friends! So I don't do it unless I know it is work related and I know I'll see all my friends from work! Meeting new people is extremely hard for me! I get really shy and I'm pretty quiet! Some people mistake that as being stuck up! I am also not an out going person! Never have been! So that isn't going to work unforuntley!

first of all, dont doubt yourself, because if you dont have confidence in yourself, how can you expect another to have confidence in you? also, to be alone has its advantages, and there is nothing wrong with wanting love. i see your problem is simply the way you may be going about it. if you trust every man will hurt you then you will only be attracted to guys that will hurt you because that is what you allow in your mind. it would be better for you to learn to trust that you can be proper, and that you CAN find someone to love you properly..but you have to learn to love yourself first. water is attracted to what is wet, as what is dry moves towards what else is dry. you must put yourself in the position that you are what you want to attract. still, it is more complicated than that. whether you know it or not, you are loved already...loved by a being who could love you greater than any man any day. if only you would notice and recognize the one who already loves you, i am sure he could guide you to a man who would love you properly. be strong! have courage! and trust in the dream you hold dear in your heart. doubt will keep that dream of love from coming to life...because love is always faithful! to doubt you are already pushing love away!

I know I lack in confidence and always have! I fear if I get to confidence I'll get a swelled head and no one will like me! As a friend or for someone to love! The more the responses I see and read the more frustrated and depressed I get! I better stop letting out all my frustrations! I know it will couse trouble along the way! Some other discussions have and I have lost Mylot friends for telling the truth! sometimes I don't feel any love coming from this site and that is heartbreaking!

I know I have depression! I have battled it off and on over the years! I do take some meds which help some. I used to get help in the past but I am still burnt out from years of therapy! Some of it was good and some was bad! I am not ready to start that again at this time!
