This goal makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs

And that’s all I have to say about that right now.

all I can say...
Do what you do, be you, don’t go beyond yourself to try and find the one. Hope it works out for you.

Oh, I AM being me
But it has been over 4 years since I have been on a date (except for the one that I accidentally went on with a woman), I don’t even know that many men, and I refuse to go out trolling for one. It didn’t feel this difficult when I was younger, and I really don’t look all that different. Oh, and when there is someone around who could, potentially, be interesting, I freak out.
Yes, I am being me. I put a lot of time into pursuing my dream of being a teacher, being a good mom, and even getting involved in more of the things I love. It just feels like that there’s this one enjoyable part of life that I am missing and it is going to be too late too soon.

Accidental Date story
One of my old neighbors was a very outspoken lesbian. We were friendly, but I thought it was very clear with all my references to ex-boyfriends, plus the fact that I am a mom. One day when my daughter was with her grandparents she asked me out for coffee. I assumed that meant that she wanted to go drink coffee with me, not hit on me, but I was wrong.
Insightful!
Wow, what an intelligent piece of advice. “Don’t go beyond yourself to try and find the one.”
It covers so many related things. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not, don’t go beyond your boundaries/comfort zone and don’t invade another person’s boundaries (don’t stalk/obsess), stay centered.
Thanks Aaron!

I think you maybe giving me too much credit. ;)
I just know that to be happy in a relationship you have to start it as who you are, being honest with the person and yourself. I really don’t have much advice when it comes to where / when to meet people, as my out going nature has always done that for me. I can say however if you don’t try you’ll never succede.

milkbox is happy! sees the sun rising
we can do this together!
But not in an accidental lesbian date sort of way. Just two girls (or women, whichever you prefer) screaming their lungs out together out of sheer frustration, annoyance, ugh-ness, what have you. Misery loves company—you don’t have to do this alone! :)
Okay, 123, Go
AAAEERRRGGHH!!!!

late to the party
But hey, here goes:
AAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Wow. I feel better.
Milkbox
How are you doing with this? My summer was crazy. I was briefly interested in a very attractive piano played with dread locks, but never worked up the nerve to talk to him.
I totally didn’t mean to ignore your invitation to do this together. (in a non accidental date type of way.)
milkbox is happy! sees the sun rising
pretty good
Hehe. I had actually forgotten all about this! But we had done the yelling sort-of together, in a more or less synchronised non-lesbian, non-date way. :)
And ooohh… a dreadlocked piano player!
I had ticked this one off about a month ago; it took a long while, as well as about ten entries, before I did. It’s been quite an adjustment (we were good friends before this came up and I never expected it so I was more than incredulous at first, I completely freaked out), but things are working out well because he’s been really patient with me. :)
Are you sure you’re not looking too far? Because this one turned out to be right under my nose!
Not usually one for yelling
but heck, maybe it’ll attract some attention!
ARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!
(more like a pirate-y growl, actually)
Screaming's hard on your throat
Why not try singing?
I find that it also helps one get through frustration and pain.
And if you do scream or shout, try some lemon and honey to soothe yer throat afterwards. I think you will be glad if you do it.
I'm the queen of car idol
It takes me a little over an hour to drive to school, and I spend the whole trip singing along with the radio. It is satisfying, but not the same as screaming. Unless I am singing along with Disturbed. Then it is more helpful. But not many radio stations play Disturbed and the tape deck in my car doesn’t work. I find peppermint tea with honey to be very soothing also.
