Hi Sophie and Little Buddha,

I want to thank you for your insights into my post. One thing that might be different about me is that I would actually like to have a relationship. I felt I could have had one with one of those women, but it wasn’t in the cards for me. I shouldn’t have just said I was excited about the dating process. I liked being connected to someone else. I liked being a part of their life, and them being a part of mine.

I thought, only to myself, the possibilities of building things to something more, in the future. I don’t want to come from a needy place and have someone so I can feel validated. After over 3 years, I just want to share my life with someone again.

Maybe I do need a break for a while and maybe you are right that someone will show up when they are supposed to. Tomorrow, I am going to go to a meetup group I joined a long time ago, but never have attended one of their meetings. Perhaps getting out and meeting different people without expectations will be beneficial to me.
