Wow, nice to see this thread resurrected. When it was originally created in 2011 I had a wonderful man in my life, and I still do. Only we aren't together now. Physically it didn't work out because I was so scared of the reaction to my body and I have such self-esteem issues.

So he broke up with me. Fast forward 8 months later we still talk on the phone every night and have a wonderful friendship. But.....I still love him.

I have tried dating sites and trying to get to know other people, but I always comparing every one to him. There is no one like my Dave. I love him so much I am starting to realize. That's the worst part about being desperate and dateless, when you have someone you love and they don't love you back.
