Tying into the previous post...

Maybe the reason for my endless search for my husband is that I'm not meant to have one.

Some people are truly meant to be single.

Perhaps I'm just one of those people who's romantic desires are ne'er meant to be filled or fulfilled but rather is to be channeled into writing a novel or spent churning out sappy cards for Hallmark.

Kim (female), Ben (cute straight male), Kayla, and I were having the funniest conversation at dinner tonight. Kayla was sorta kinda seeing a guy on our floor (why, who knows) and she was dishing all the dirt on it.

Her longest relationship is *five months*. "I'd never stay with anyone that long again." says Kayla.

I just sat there incredulous. I'm wanting something that's five decades.

Kim dated the same guy for 10 years.

*okay, part two of this (fire drill interruption)

I'm a gay man and our culture dictates that most gay men are sluts and into tricking and most straight women are looking for a relationship and to settle down. Now in the group of people I'm around, it's reversed. The straight women mostly don't want a relationship and the few gay men I know *do* want a relationship.

Well why fall into the stereotypes? Some women JUST want sex, and there are men who DO want relationships.

But don't resign yourself to a life of being single just because he hasn't popped up. I have faith it'll happen to you, honey. (HUG)

Yes, some people are usually meant to be single, but I don't think you fall into that category.

Our "culture" only dictates us to be sluts because our culture was forced to believe a long time ago that we could never have stable relationships.

I think one obvious issue is the lack of men in St. Cloud. Sucks.

JT...You are one of the most intelligent, romantic, sexy men I know. There's got to be someone out there for you. You are one of the guys I do believe has a soulmate out there, because God/Goddess wouldn't make a guy like you only to strand him alone for the rest of his life. Somewhere out there, you may not even know him yet, is your other half. If there's one thing you've taught me, it's that you can't give up hope.
*hugs* o/` Don't give up. You still have your friends... o/`
