Singledom.

I've been single now for over two years. And I can't even begin to grasp the concept of dating or even meet someone. What's wrong with me?

I believe what they always say, that when you're looking, trying too hard maybe, it doesn't happen, but that when you just live your live well, not worrying about it, not forcing the issue, which I know you're not but still, love will come. Oh, and you're not old, just sayin'.

I'm not looking at all. I don't get the whole concept. I'm actually running the other way as soon as somebody shows minuscule amounts of interest! I don't even know where to begin to get over this block!

Once again, I'm ass-backwards as so many of the women on my flist around your age are actively looking so, I read you wrong. I wish I had some proper Words of Wisdom but I don't.

While I have been very hurt by others, I've always, for whatever reason, remained receptive. I'd retreat for some short time and then, get back into the game open to whatever or whoever came along.

But you have a child who can also be hurt by a relationship gone wrong and that puts you in a very different situation than I was ever in.
