Now this is an interesting topic and one not addressed enough in my oppinion, especially amongst blokes. We're all "conditioned" to bite the lip and soldier on but the fact is that men/woman are social animals and we all like a bit of fluffy company now and again.

Sure when we're young we worry less about it because we have the whole world to explore but as we get older, a little calmer perhapps, we start feeling an urge to take things a little easier, settle down perhapps...who knows.

I've recently fallen into the same boat as the original poster, my own fault really as I keep popping off on mad adventures. The last one was crossing Greenland, took a month and got dumped as soon as I got back

. I'm off again at the end of the month , this time for 2.5 months so I can sort of understand somebody not wanting to wait. Mind you, during the war people waited a lot longer....or did they :hmm:

Anyway, my advice, and i'm 42 so not sure its worth a great deal, is to carry on being you as that's what makes you unique. Who knows, maybe some of the posters here who say there is a "soul mate" for everyone out there are right, but even if not then you will eventually meet someone and things will sparkle. Just make sure you maintain a good social set so you can get out and about a bit....well they're not exactly gonna come knocking on your door out of the blue are they. The main thing is to be you and DONT TRY TOO HARD!!!

Another thing that i find a bit wierd is that most married blokes say its a pain in the ass and we should stay single. Most single blokes say its a pain in the ass and they would like to be coupled. I'm not sure if the married blokes are just saying that to cheer us single blokes up....I wish they didn't

And yet another thing that i find annoying is the way woman try to change us. I mean they like us when they meet us fo what we are, so we get together and then they do their damnest to change us. Eventually we change this and that, to keep the peace cos we like a quiet life, and then we get the famous "You're no longer the same person you were when I met you"........well thanks to you honey!!

Right, glad to get that off my chest, time to get back in my box.
