Hi Katie,
Thanks again for the kind words. See, I find a decent kind hearted woman to talk to, and she lives in another country lol. Seriously though, I find that there are a lot of kind hearted and caring people on this forum. Tiny Buddha has one of the better online communities that I have seen so far. I never use to be a person who would post online, and especially as openly as I have on here, but it has made me feel better to release some of the things that have bothered me. I would have never done this years ago.

It is funny to think that we are quite a bit similar. I can be pretty introverted a lot of the time. I do have friends that I hang out with, but they are all married and most have kids, so it’s tough to get together with some of them. You seem to be doing fairly with for someone who’s relationship ended a month ago. It’s good to see that and it is better if you can move on from it. I spent too much time mourning what I thought was a loss at the time. I think I could have been in a better place a lot sooner, if I didn’t think what I had was worth fighting for.

As far as music goes, my boys basically re-introduced me to most of those groups again. I never pushed them on them, they just found them, and got hooked on those bands. It’s funny, I showed my 11 year old some new song, and he says, ” You have to listen to this, it’s amazing!” Then he plays me “In My Time of Dying” by Led Zeppelin. Yeah, they have pretty good taste in music.
George Jones was good but I lean a little more towards Johnny Cash. He was the man. I’ll check out Fleet Foxes. I don’t mind folky stuff. I haven’t seen either band you saw but I heard that especially Muse puts on an outstanding show. Thanks again Katie.

Hey belove, I understand that women go through the hardships with dating too. No one is immune to it. It would be nice if everything wasn’t tough, as you put it. Sometimes, I think it’s only as tough as we decide to make it, and I went in with that mindset both times I was trying online dating. Unfortunately, the second time was a little too annoying to not let it bother me. I think finding a couple of connections to women that I was very attracted to the first time, built my confidence . The second time, brought it down. I had trouble rolling with it this time. I need to work on myself. It just gets tiring waiting so long to have someone in your life again. I miss it.
