1. Not anymore.

Knowing me, it's probably for the best. :)

2. Nope.

We all hear about "What happens to isolated, lonely people".

Well, we have lives too. We just don't jump into bed and risk getting a disease or heartache.

4. Never have,

not even a proper date, and I never expect to; I will turn 52 in about three weeks.

After getting my Asperger's DX a few years ago, I at least was able to stop beating myself up about it. There are a lot of things I am not hard-wired to understand, and this is at the top of the list, so I just accept it. If you can't figure out how to walk through a minefield, better to stay at the back lines and remain safe.

He's significant to me, anyway. :)

6. Yep.

We've been together for years despite the lack of that piece of paper everyone seems to think we should have. I'd really like to know where people work up the gall to drop hints like that, by the way, but I digress.

I'm writing from her place now. I really should have moved here ages ago, since I basically live here anyway.

7. I did...

...but after 9 years together (5 married), I came home from a business trip--very happy to see her--and was informed the next morning that she was leaving. No explanation, no shot at couples counseling, nothing. Just finished. That's been a bit over a year, and I guess I'm still pretty bitter, and, aside from going to work, have mostly become a shut-in. I don't even want to put myself out there--not where I currently live, anyway. Pheh.

But it could be worse--at least she didn't try to take me for everything I had.

9. I think love is always worth it.

One failed relationship does not represent all future relationships.

People are different with different people. I'm sorry you got hurt.

Don't close the door on love.. try again! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

10. No, but I wish that I did

I guess I'm going through the same thing George from "Seinfeld" did; when they like me, I don't like them. When I like them (and damn, it's hard to even find someone to "like" these days) they don't like me!

I've been searching for 23 years now. It's probably well past time to give up and just settle for the cats. :-(
