If I knew

If I knew when I would meet 'the love of my life' then I could relax. But every psychic has said 'he's just around the corner or in the next few months' so I get all hyped up, expectantly seek the connection with all new arrivals & watch as it all fades to nothing.

Just tell me when. Tell me the truth! I want to say. If it's not for another 5 years, then, sayonara to this rabbit hole & hello to a new cubby house in another world. Teach opening champagne bottles to 3rd world waiters ! run an illegal boarding house in Fiji! catch fish in Greenland !

I'd love to take a sabbatical from this dating fiasco. My entire life is geared to preening, watching, observing, trying and hoping it will be over soon (my single life, that is) I'm exhausted!!

I went to a party on the weekend, by circumstance I went by myself, thinking I have the social skills to get around and I thought I'd know enough people. It was a swamp of gay men and married people. I felt like yelling "who's single here? come and talk to me!!" The party represented one of those 'best opportunities' for meeting someone. ie. it was a private, friends' party so you can talk to anyone, you know they are from a certain background/ professional group and more likely to be of interest to you.

One thing I've learnt, cut your losses. So I left after the speeches, snuck out the door and with some sorrow, walked slowly back to the car, re-assuring myself I did everything I could, he just wasn't there. I do hate having to judge an event on the dating sucess rate, but that's my life.

Have you asked Mystic Medusa - to whom you link, as I've seen - for an analysis of your chart, e.g. the next year?? I find her amazing, and it seems she's more often right than others.

It would make things so much easier if we knew eh?
I would love to have someone tell me when I'm going to meet 'him.' It would make life so much easier.
I see people coupling up all around me, and meeting these incredible guys I get along with so well, to find out a)they'd never work for anything more than a flight;
or even better...
b) they have a girlfriend

The uncertainty kills me. The wondering, when/will I find him? And then the HOW? Further, it seems sometimes there are absolutely no decent single men around. I’m with you Cat, I’m tired of looking… do I need to start searching under rocks?

Amelice, it's not easy, maybe that's why we will value that bloke when he finally come hooning into our lives.

Anon..I saw Mystic a few weeks ago..my stars all look good, Jupiter is in the right place, but apparatently something is scheduled for 2010 which is powerful! *bangs head on table, repeatedly*

K, hate that! when they have a gf. I do become suspicious when they are so relaxed & flirty.
