I do wish I could meet a man that was right for me, and love me completely. A life on my own has never been my dream. A family, a career, those were my dreams. It's been hard, my life, I failed in many areas. Strangely this surgery has given me new life, new hope, a believe that I can recover from the despair of the last few years.

My job is wonderful, I do well, I really like it. My part-time job is good for me too, especially love the discount. I'm not as much of a let down to my mother now. Still struggling but at least she knows I'm trying hard.

I give up on on-line dating, it's a waste. If I'm meant to met someone he'll show up somehow, someway. I do enjoy time to myself, long drives, loud music. But still having someone to enjoy life with would be nice.

Those are very realistic wants Aviza. If a partner does not treat you with respect and love it is not the right relationship. You deserve someone who loves you for who you are. We have all failed at some time, I'm glad you are going to keep trying.

I also struggle with pleasing my mother, I've had to take a step back and tell myself that this is my life to live and even though she may mean well she does not control me.

I can't comment on online dating, I've never tried it. I prefer to meet people in person..... not that I really like to meet people I'm really socially awkward.

i also feel like i have to please my mom. she has caused me so much pain in my life, but i always forgive her, and visa versa. its a roller coaster ride.

I love that you said this. I'm single and feel the same way for myself.

I'm glad you like your jobs. I bet that makes life easier for you!

One time I googled "how to meet guys," or some variation, and found some good stuff. I don't do online dating anymore.

I struggle with keeping my dad happy. There's too many secrets that I'm afraid my parents don't really know the real me anymore.

I think a relationship will always go up and down but there's always someone out there that will stick around in the tough stuff and make it all worth while. Some of us just take longer than others to find them!
