    I agree with PP...go do something fun. I used my single years to volunteer for recreation organizations for disabled people. I learned to be a white water rafting guide, cross country ski guide and downhill ski guide (all for people with various disabilities). I was definitely out of the house doing great things for my mind and body and the community. No time to get lonely!

    Have you tried Match.com? I had great experiences with it and fabulous dates. You just meet in a public place. I will probably try again, but frankly, at my age??? I did it in my 30's, 40's and 50's. My problem was I kept going back to my ex BF. Big Mistake.

    Good Luck.

    It's not about how much you way, it's about how confident you are. You could be a perfect size 4 and be GORGEOUS.....but it you don't have the confidence or attitude to back it up, no one will be attracted to you. Confidence is sexy.

    THIS! I've seen women double my size with handsome, loving attentive men in their lives. It's not about your weight, it's about your self confidence and openness to a relationship/love. If you don't feel worthy of love 25lbs heavier, its not going to change with weight loss. There are supermodels that can't get or maintain relationships.

    You're a desirable person no matter what your weight, and once you own that, you'll start beating men off with a stick! Like it was said above, confidence is sexy, no matter what the packaging!

    He's in the position he's in now because he wanted to be a donor. He was gone by the time emergency help arrived. They revived him enough to get him to the hospital. Their main goal was to save donor parts. He died 3x's that day. He managed to after 2 weeks get to where he was breathing on his own, but that is all he does on his own. He's been in a coma too long now to be an organ donor. I'm thinking of donating his body to the local med school so he can still be the donor he wanted to be. And he can help someone else become the good nurse/doctor he always dreamed of being, but can't.

    While the loss is hard, helping someone else gain the skills to save the lives he couldn't is such a beautiful legacy to give your son.

    I'm single again with 6 kids. 5 of my kids all have significant others, including children still at home. My other son is in a coma in a nursing home so he doesn't know he's alone. I'm the only one in the family who is alone. I get really lonely especially this time of year. My work schedule (overnights) makes it hard to have friends. But such is life. I guess that's why I come here from time to time.

    OMG you just BROKE my heart, :brokenheart:

    When I was married, it sometimes felt like I was alone. And then I stopped buying into the "Hallmark" hype. It helped. Commercialism, again, fuels feelings of emptiness, disappointment, and inadequacy.

    Finding love within myself for myself was an important step in realizing that loving myself was as critical as the love I have for others.
