Well, it's been 8 years since I've been on a date. I socialize very little, even less (if there can be a less than very little) since my friend Linda moved back home to Moline, IL.
I will always be a hopeless romantic, and I do have dreams of being one half of a couple again, it's just that I don't see it as something real or attainable at this point in my life.
My trust issues since the divorce have not changed. Unless I'm able to drop my guard and let someone in I will spend the rest of my life alone.
I married for life 30 years ago, and I took that vow and the others I recited that day very seriously. Unfortunately, my then husband met someone else 15 years later and discarded the life we'd built together as easily as changing his shoes.
I believe even more now, that if you choose to share the rest of your days with someone, there is NO get out of jail free card. It's a serious commitment you're making, so take it seriously or don't even go there. I've had enough of the current state of relationships and their revolving door policy.
I can see practical aspects of marriage, but I no longer see it as something necessary to make people happy and fulfill their lives in a way nothing else can, and to keep society from descending into chaos.
Good grief! I'll get off my soap box now. I hadn't meant to write a sermon on the subject.
I'm glad you wrote a lot! That's the point of Q & A, you know? This isn't facebook...I appreciate conversations, not "Like"s. :)
After the men I've dated in my life, I have trust issues, too. I've never been married and don't think I could at this point even though, like you, I'm a hopeless romantic. :)

The simple answer to your question is - no.
