    A terrific woman by my side. I was married but it didn't work out. We have a kid together and I love him to death but I need companionship. Someone to talk to other than a 6 yr old. Someone to spend time with, do things with, travel, listen to...

    Sorry that your marriage didn't work out. What have you done to try to find happiness?

    I have tried to meet new people, there have been a few that I thought were good. Most women my age don't want a 6 yr old in their life either.

    Are you looking for love in too many faces? All the wrong places?

    Go to a bar and seak out a old alcoholic looking person. Drunk old guys, in my experience, are friendly talkative folk.

    maybe you should find a few female or friends in general to talk to or hang out with that maybe can offer some type of companionship..and just let love find you..youre a package deal if they cant deal with you having a child thats 6 then they prob arent worth it in the long run...good luck...you seem like a very nice guy

    Maybe you are just looking in the wrong places? As for having a child, I just looked at your profile to see what age you are, I suspect there are a lot of women in your age group that are also in the same situation (single with kids). How do you feel about getting involved with a women with kids of her own?

    You are seeking happiness in big. That is a mistake many unhappy people make. You are looking at others and thinking "I want that". No. That isn't happiness. That is envy. And while there is nothing wrong with trying to get there, many people forget that in order to get there, you need to enjoy the happiness in little doses life gives you.

    Happiness is watching your 3 years old nephew steal your ice cream and running around. Not even eating it, just running from me because its funny for him.

    Happiness is hanging out with your friends.

    Happiness is making your friends laugh at the expense of looking like an idiot.

    Happiness is a choice. I know depression and it isn't fun. I still battle with it hard and every day. But I have learned to appreciate the little things and that seemed to have made things better. I hope you find happiness too.

    I have dated women with kids, I LOVE kids. Just haven't found the right woman yet, they like my kid but it just doesnt happen for me.

    Its funny you say this. I used to goto chicago and NY and usually late late night. I would just goto the local tea shop where most of the cab drivers are having some rest. Every single one of them is eager and waiting to talk to somebody and all you have to say is hello.

    I guess I should quit looking then.

    Your happiness cannot depend on someone else. It isn't fair to put that kind of responsibility on another person. Be happy with yourself, and the rest will follow.
