Ironic...Tiffany, I feel the same with some friends. Ironically, sometimes I feel friends online get me more than people I meet in person. I want to be happy being single but I'm not, and I'm not happy dating either. I too hate when I send out heartfelt messages, for me, I think to guys it comes across as "not manly" and to females as "I want to date you" or if married, "be weary of my friendship. But I do keep trying just a lot less than I was previously.<br /><br />I will keep you up on that offer should I need a listening ear and I dont mind listening either, just so ya know. Thanks for reading and commenting, its good to know this speaks to someone and also I am not the only one out there dealing with such issues.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Single Me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06103435759220839291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617587460049997457.post-83253233107984566012015-09-12T13:14:50.304-07:002015-09-12T13:14:50.304-07:00Dan, (can I call you Dan? Or is Daniel preferred?)...Dan, (can I call you Dan? Or is Daniel preferred?) I love you for everything that you've put on the line. Everything that you've shared is shared by millions of people. Singles are often swept under the rug or assumed to be happy being single. Personally, I am. And with every rejection I deliver I feel lower and lower. I could jump into dating feet first, enter love into someone else's life and solve their most immediate desires. But where will that leave me and where will that leave them? When the relationship crumbles because there was no spark to begin, little desire in it, that only leaves heartache and a much deeper, more emotional rejection. Something that was thrown in my face recently in a much different way from you. I want to hug you, to pray with you, to help you through this difficult time in life, but I don't know how to be there for someone from 2000 miles away. Sometimes, when I send the most heartfelt messages online, the only thing I feel is emptiness in those words. Because they're just words on a screen and we crave the human touch, voice inflections, and presence. I hope you are doing well and that you are comfortable reaching out to me when you crave a friendly ear at the end of the day.<br /><br />PS - the Catholic church is similar. Nothing for singles to bring them together. At least in my own parish.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843490019234255233noreply@blogger.com
