Find the "love of my life" - someone with whom I can share real love, friendship and passion for the rest of my life.

I am a single mom of 5 kids and Im tired of dating jerks. I want to find someone that I can love and that can love me and my kids.

I am a 20 year old man looking for love. I am fun loving, outgoing and like to see new things.

A wonderful longlasting relationship, something that is going to work, starts out with deep friendship and then blossoms into something even deeper.

I can relate as can millions of others as to how trying it is in finding the right one…Dating is not a fun thing as there are many bad people who are out there.

I just have to believe it will last for the rest of my life. And that he will feel the same for me still when we both are old.

I think I’m going to give myself a break on having a next action for this goal. This one is more about “being” than “doing,” and it’s all right for me to have it here as a reminder. Probably just remembering to love myself is the best “next action” I can take towards this goal; only when I truly am loving myself will I be able to let someone else in to love me, too. Besides, right now is probably not the time for me to be taking a lot of action on this goal, since I’m not planning to be living in this area indefinitely. Better to keep this on a back burner for now. If something happens, it happens. If not, that’s okay, too. I have other things going on and am not particularly lonely right now.

Well, she wasn’t it.

Better luck next time!

my luv life has had its ups n downs now im single my aim is to find the love of my life!

I’ve just replaced ‘fall in love’ on my list with this goal. The whole hollywood romance thing is just the beginning, rather than the end of a real relationship.

I think it’s realy not so much about finding ‘that perfect someone’ but more about finding someone who’s good enough, and then you both putting in the emotional effort to make sure that it works.

Of couse that ‘good enough’ is a bit of a weasel word. How do you judge it? Myself I’m thinking that you both have to offer about the same to each other. It’s no good expecting the Prince(ss) of Monaco to come knocking if you’re a destitute welfare mom with serious emotional issues. At the other end, if you’ve got a lot to offer then you should pair up with someone who has a lot to give, otherwise you’ll end up feeling used.

Myself I’m loathe to start a passionate relationship with someone unless they’re willing to spend both ordinary, and special time with me. Ordinary time is the day to day stuff, doing the shopping, cooking dinner, ect. Special time is doing things together that you don’t have to. For me any girl who would come walk the dog with me every day would get big points. Planning holidays together and going to weddings ect are other special times.

Then of course there’s passion. There’s no doubt having a strong affectionate relationship helps to bind people together. My feeling is that it’s not an end in itself, but more a useful tool to keep you together. Some people mistake affectionate love for real love. A passionate relationship with someone can make you feel like you’re more in tune with someone than you actualy are. The danger in new relationships is that when this limerance wears off, you no longer want to spend time with the person.

I haven’t met “him” yet, but I do feel like I’m moving in the right direction. Things have happened recently that have helped me get a lot of clarity about my own life. I feel stronger than ever that I AM living a good, worthwhile life.

I’m also getting some clarity about what I want in a partner, and the things I don’t want in a partner, too. For example, it is important to me to be with someone on a compatible spiritual path – and not just someone who will tolerate my beliefs (which was the case with my last serious relationship). I want to be able to share that part of my life with my partner. There’s a bunch of other stuff, too . . . and getting clear on these things will ONLY be a good thing.

I still have faith that when the time is right, the universe will bring me and this person together. And until then, I really AM happy with the life I have now. I have a beautiful child, and good friends, and activities that are fulfilling. I don’t need a relationship, so it’s no hardship waiting until the relationship I want comes along. And in the meantime, I can focus on doing what I can on my end to remove any obstacles which might be keeping this from happening . . . gently, and with love.
