Gosh! I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling “down in the dumps” Jules. I think most of us have been there at some time in our lives. I know I have. I agree with “Full of it”. Most of the time love comes to you in the most unexpected places or times. Hang in there my friend, things will be better tomorrow. You are a fine person, beautiful, talented, and have a million things to offer. Don’t give up the ship. We love you little meeces to peeces. nanamama

I like your description of the feeling as “hollow and echoey.” I definitely felt that way for many of my single years (a long period of time, given that I just got married for the first time at age 31.) Try not to take the romantic drought personally. It is not a reflection of your attractiveness or of your worth. This is just where you are in life right now. It does not mean you will always be here. Maybe try doing something you have not done before that is social or a new on line dating site. I met two of my long time male friends that way and eventually my husband, but it took time, perseverance and some humorously bad dates. Then you can tell us all about it.

This really resonates with me, too, Jules– my hobbies are fun and enriching, I have some good friendships, I get to travel, I don’t have to worry about anyone else, I don’t have anyone making demands on me … but sometimes when I’m out on a long ride, I think — it would be nice to be sharing this trail with someone.

*big hugs* I’m sorry my friend. You are an AMAZING woman. Don’t sell yourself short nor resign yourself to ANYTHING you aren’t happy about. Happiness will find you the minute you stop looking for it. Happened to me. Much love!!

Don’t I know exactly what you’re talking about. Feeling much the same these days, and trying to stay busy so I don’t have to think about it

Just echoing what the others have said. I’m sorry that you are feeing this way and going through this.

Much love and many wishes for you Jules… so sorry that you are at that place. You know that I have been there and I didn’t like it one little bit either. There isn’t much anyone can say to truly make you feel better so just know that we love you. I love you, and it will all come out in the wash my friend.
