    I find it sad, how it seems the problem both men and women have, is they dont understand each other, as previously stated. Yes its easy for me to be myself on here, a far different kettle of fish out there in the big world.

    Im guessing its just as difficult for the ladies on here too, hence we all seem to find solice being in here and openly discussing relationships. (we prob never would say half the things face to face Im too shy, and most of you are too). I feel secure here in that I can get a perspective of how women and blokes view one another. I guess we have all learned a little something here.

    I dont pretend to be anything special, I'm your average Joe Bloggs, Im honest, I work hard, and im plain and average looking. Yet you have all made me feel so special.

    Shyness is my biggest downfall when it comes to a woman I like. Men cant tell if women like them back just by lookin at them.

    Its worrying that most of the women on here prefer to be singletons. Are all single women happy as they are? That certainly makes it even more difficult.

    Im not after RIch, Super models. I just want somebody who I can trust, someone who can love and be loved. Is that so bad, does it make me look choosy or at worse desperate?

    I wouldn't necessarily say that is the view of us singletons, I think sometimes its easy to take the view that sometimes it may be easier being single, but that's more about the comfort zone I am sure.

    I know I would love someone who I can trust and can love me and be loved by me, I just don't seem to have the tools to be able to locate one atm :o

    I certainly don't prefer being single, but I have just got used to it I suppose. I would like to meet someone but I can see from other people's stories that is not always the best option. It just gets lonely at times, also feel that by 36 I should be more settled than this. When all your friends are in couples and you are struggling with debt it is hard to meet people.

    I am happy being single but if i do met someone - i wont dismiss them.

    Its more of i'm not at home sitting there thinking omg i'm single - its the end of the world type thing rather ok i'm single i'm going to make the most of it - does that make sense???

    but that's just it, you aren't average, I just do not meet men or rather did not meet nice men, and i don't mean nice in the Twee sense, I mean kind honest funny men.

    Either not many people have the confidence to behave like that and always have to put on face or there are a lot of nasty people out there. these days i am not prepared to take the risk.
