HI there,

All of my life, since I was a little girl, I have been searching for my one true love. I am in my forties now, and I have yet to find him. I have even tried to open myself up to just dating, to no avail. I have lived a strange existance, I never had a boyfriend and no one has ever expressed a interest in me.

I am losing hope. This man that I search for is only a dream. I talk to him in my heart, I can feel him. I pray that God leads him to me, or me to him, but it has yet to happen. I am very depressed about it, I miss a man I do not know! I am beginning to lose all hope of ever finding him. I am just tired and lonely overall...

Any insight that you could offer would be appreciated.

Thanks

We can find no one when we hide away in our own home.  Go to groups where you have an interest - a lecture, a reading, a movie.  Then see who else is attending and enjoying the activity.  Put yourself out there to meet/greet others.  To find a friend, we must become a good friend.

Thank you!

It crossed my mind....be open to all relationships - you never know when a friend met is the one you are seeking.  

Reason, Season, Lifetime

People  come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do  for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,  it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have  come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with  guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally  or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.  
They are there for the reason you need them to be.  

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an  inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to  bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.  Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force  you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need  has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.  
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is  time to move on.

Some  people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has  come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience  of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something  you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable  amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a  season.

LIFETIME  relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must  build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.  
Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person and  put what you have learned to use in all other relationships  and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but  friendship is clairvoyant.

Wow!
What a truly wonderful way of putting it and at such a perfect time too, for me that is, busy struggling with something at the moment and I feel that I now have some tools to work the situation with. Have no idea how - but this confirmed what I had already thought - now just to put it into practise - more patience. blegh.
