Lovelorn DU'ers check in

[MidwestMomma]

Lovelorn: Bereft of love or one's lover.

Sigh...This is so unlike me. Been content for years to be just me. Now I yearn to part of a pair.

What's up with that?

[gmoney]

1. Check...

...sigh.

[MidwestMomma]

4. Thanks for checking in

This too will pass I'm sure :)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

2. Is that like a m-m-m-marriage? Or a c-c-c-commitment?

[MidwestMomma]

5. You made me laugh

Thanks :)

[KG]

3. take an asprin and go lie down till the feeling goes away.

[MidwestMomma]

6. I'll give that a try

Thanks :)

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Seems to be the usual for me

But right now I'm in the "meh, fuck it" phase.

[MidwestMomma]

9. Yeah, that's usually me...

I'm probably just having a midlife crisis. :crazy:

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Haha, that's where we differ

My midlife crisis is still many years away, haha.

[MidwestMomma]

11. Thanks, I needed that!

:P

NOT!

[ghostsofgiants]

20. Haha, I do what I can

I can't help being a young'n.

[unhappycamper]

8. I'm currently in a pain avoidance mode. Ain't got no one &

don't want no one.

[MidwestMomma]

12. That usually works for me too

That's why I'm puzzled by myself.

[unhappycamper]

15. No puzzle. When you're happy with yourself and ready to be

vulnerable again, it's time to seek a mate. (I am neither at the moment.)

[MidwestMomma]

16. Ahhh. Ready to be vulnerable again...

Is that what it is? Interesting...

[unhappycamper]

18. Yup. Here's my vunerability test.

When I read "The Prophet" and become inspired, I'm ready. When I'm 'right' with the world, this just blows me away:



Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.

If either your sails or our rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.

For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion; that it may sing;

And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.

I would have you consider your judgment and your appetite even as you would two loved guests in your house.

Surely you would not honour one guest above the other; for he who is more mindful of one loses the love and the faith of both.

Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then let your heart say in silence, "God rests in reason."

And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky, - then let your heart say in awe, "God moves in passion."

And since you are a breath In God's sphere, and a leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.

[khashka]

13. Yeah me too

And I hate the whole coupling thing.

But I miss having a guy around.....

Khash..

[MidwestMomma]

19. I haven't had a guy around in forever

And I'm usually okay with that.

But lately...I've been stupid obsessed with the idea of being alone.

Thanks for sharing.

[coloradodem2005]

14. Here here.

Man, I don't know what the hell is going on with me. I never wanted to feel this way about a woman. But I fucking hate it right now.

[MidwestMomma]

22. I don't know what the hell is going on with me either

That's what prompted the thread. :)

Sounds like you love someone but it's not going well. Sorry to hear that.

That's probably worse then not having anyone to love at all. I'll have to think about that and get back to you.

[elshiva]

17. Yep. Lovelorn here!

[MidwestMomma]

24. I'd say welcome to the crowd

But who really wants to be here :)

[johnnie]

21. Once in a while

I feel lonely. Today is one of those days.
What really takes the cake is that I am one of those people that is around for everyone during "tough times" and today I had one, and everyone seems to be busy.
Go figure.
But you won't hear me complaining. LOL

[MidwestMomma]

23. I'm not a complainer either

Most days anyway :)

Maybe the people you are always there for view you as a pillar of strength and can't imagine you ever 'needing' anything. So when you are having a rough time, they just don't realize it. I run into that sometimes.

[johnnie]

29. Oh, I didn't think you are a complainer

I understand. And yeah, I have always been the "strong one" and I'm sure no one thinks that I might need a bit of...whatever it is, but it's cool.

[southlandshari]

25. Johnnie, darlin':

come on over here and let me give you a bigggggg :hug: !

[johnnie]

28. Awwwww

Thank you hun :)
Here's one for you :hug:

[leftofthedial]

26. I'm horny

Does that count?

:evilgrin:

[MidwestMomma]

27. I think so

I'd say I was horny too but I can't because I'm someone's MOM! :evilgrin:

[Pale Blue Dot]

30. Yep. Not desperate, but lonely.

Somehow, in the past year since my divorce, I've become extremely picky. This is completely unlike me. Women are hitting on me all the time lately (No, really!), but I could care less. I'm waiting for the right one.

Still, it's tough to walk out of a movie theater after seeing a great film and not have anyone to share the experience with....
