Life is for living & loving !

Life is for living & loving ! First & foremost I would like to congratulate you on doing something positive about your future happiness. It's too important to just leave to fate! Just think about it for a moment .. what's more important .. work or your personal happiness? ?????????? If you answered your work ..then you really must get a balance! If you answered your personal happiness ..that's a good start! .. think of the effort and the time you devote to your job / education or looking for a job .. you browse the paper for something suitable .. send for the application form .. read the criteria required / job specification to see if you match up .. fill in the application form then hopefully go to an interview. If you are compatible with the job / the job is compatible with you .. you commit yourself to 40 hours (approx.) a week out of your 120 hours (approx.) awake time a week. That's 1/3 !!! So why don't we spent a decent amount of time looking for a partner or even just rewarding friendships? I am not saying that having someone in your life makes everything perfect because there is no such thing .. life is a balance between good times & bad. I would hope that you have a full life and are secure within yourself, as then, and only then, can you be the type of person to enhance someone else's life. Life should not be measured by the years we live .. but by the special moments we had in those years. All I am saying is that special moments tend to happen when you are with someone .. they are better shared. Unfortunately being single is something that most like to hide, as if it's an infection / a sign of a failing in some area or something to be embarrassed about. It is actually the majority group within society today. In many ways being alone and independent is a great skill & strength. Society has changed and people are no longer willing to stay in marrages / relationships that are not working as well as they should. There is also a huge change in the age that people are seeing as acceptable to commit to someone else. Nowadays it is totally acceptable to be single in your 30's/40's/50's .... Acceptable yes .. but the reality is .. it's lonely at times! I read somewhere recently that 40% of the adult population are 'single' We are human and most of us like to be in a loving relationship. To have that special bond .. share our good days & bad .. share a joke & laugh .. share new experiences .. have trusting arms to comfort us when things don't go to plan in life .. we all need a hug at times! I think most of us search for the elusive soulmate which I see as being bestfriend + lover .. they do exist .. trust me! When you have experienced how good it can be then you loose it .. for whatever reason .. it is natural to crave it again. Dating years ago seemed so much easier .. now .. things are not as easy .. there are so many more single people around who have full or part responsibility for children from previous relationships, work may take priority with your time, you are not confident with the opposite sex, your not the 'pub / club type', your friends are all happily married and you have little opportunity to socialise ..... the list is endless. That is why meeting people online is such a fantastic concept. You get to know someone at the pace you choose. You are safe at home, relaxed and maybe even alittle braver to ask things that you want to know but would not have the nerve to say face to face. You are totally in control so you decide if it's going to be a friendship online or if you want to take that into reality and see if there is something worth pursuing. Using online to get to know someone actually develops an openness, free conversation, honesty, which ( in my opinion) is the best foundation to any relationship. After all, it's the best friend / open honest communication part of a relationship that keeps you strong together during any difficult times. I hope .. through using CoffeedateONLINE .. you find many people to laugh with .. and if you are open to romance .. I wish you special luck .. Life is for living & loving! CoffeedateCUPID x
