I really enjoy being single, but ultimately I would love to find someone to be with in a meaningful relationship. I have to say that busy family times really make me miss having someone there to help and just talk things through with. It can all be so overwhelming sometimes.

MickMan · 06-11-2012, 08:34 AM

I have been single for about 5 plus years now. As much as I would like a relationship, it will be hard. I care for my mom who has Alzheimer's and it is a full time job. Not sure many would understand.

But, it would be nice.

Spikester · 06-11-2012, 10:01 AM

Hello to all the singles, one thing sucks about being single
Is that have vacation time and no one to spend it with

I have a small daughter and I feel the same way. For any relationship to become serious, my daughter and I have to be a package deal. It certainly complicates things but I have hope.

Exactly. Mom is going no where anytime soon, as I am sure the case with your daughter. Children and in my case my mom, need a lot of attention and care. Should someone choose to be a part of this life, they could see the devotion one can have for another.

Peace,
Mick

You'd be surprised how many people who are in the same position as you. I also take care of my Mom, but for different medical reasons. I moved to Mobile from Milwaukee to take care of both my parents. My dad had cancer and died a little over a year after the move. My mom cannot live by herself. It does get difficult to balance your personal life with your family commitments. I do agree it does get lonely at times. Honestly it is frustrating, but you got to do these things when someone in your family needs you. I wish I weren't single and I would love to be in a relationship with someone. I guess in time it will happen. Thank you for sharing your situation.

LoyalWolfsBlade · 06-11-2012, 09:51 PM

To all the singles with family situations that make getting into a relationship difficult I would like to give you some hope. There are people out there that wouldn't think twice about dating you whether it is a child or a parent that makes you a package deal. I know because I am one of those people so others must exist. I would NEVER date a femme or get into a long term relationship with one if she had a child and I wasn't ready to step up and have that child become a part of my life as well. I never understand butches that get into relationships with moms then get upset that she has a child. The same would hold true for anyone that was taking care of an adult family member for any reason! So never give up your special someone is out there. Might be right in front of your eyes or around the next corner you take or thread you post in.

Licious · 06-11-2012, 10:20 PM

I am encouraged by this singles thread.

I am happy with myself, but it has been a while... and I wouldn't find someone to spend some of my time with. I have some special circumstances as well, and like to think someone out there would still be happy to be my butch. Time will tell.

Meanwhile, everyone have a great week!

Little Fish · 06-13-2012, 06:33 AM

Alix,
Your point is well taken and we singles would do well to remember this and be encouraged.
I have an amazing 8yo son whom I share with my ex-wife. Since he loves with me half-time, I do get a chance to date and maintain friendships, I'm lucky in that regard. But at this point I am clear I want more children so I do not even consider seriously anyone who doesn't already have children or who is not open to this--it can limit the pool but generally I think I benefit from the Butches with Babies/Kids thing...

(a thought for those of you caring for parents, often times the condition-specific local chapter --say Alzheimer's --will have a respite program to allow you to get out, take a break, whatever--for all of you, I now it's hard and devoted care, you have my support.)

Julien · 06-13-2012, 07:01 AM

Good morning to all you singles,
I hope you are well and are ready to face the day. I woke up to my furry alarm clock, aka Connor my cat, and am not fully awake. That's alright, I am off to work at the library. I also would like to thank you for your support for my post concerning the care of my Mom. Have a great day.

MickMan · 06-15-2012, 05:22 AM

Well, another day and well, I guess that's about it. LOL Another day!

Life is good and hope all of you enjoy your days today.

Seize the day!!!

Mick

Spikester · 06-15-2012, 02:49 PM

Still single here lol anyway everyone have a good weekend

Mr Nice Guy · 06-15-2012, 02:53 PM

Single like a one dollar bill.

Julien · 06-15-2012, 03:08 PM

Well it looks like there are a few Butch or FTM singles out there, so my question is this where are the single Femmes?

Can't we start a conversation? You'd think this thread would be full of activity. We can't all be as shy as I am.

Mr Nice Guy · 06-15-2012, 03:11 PM

That sounds like fun. I'm game.

Well that makes two of us. I think we should hang a banner that says "Party tonight!" See if anyone is interested.

ruthie14 · 06-15-2012, 03:30 PM

I'm going out tonight but I will check back and see if you all got a party going!! This femme is going out bowling. I will actually be cheerleading and NOT bowling. It's a tough job, but this femme is up for the challenge! lolol

Have a great evening singles!

Beloved · 06-15-2012, 05:57 PM

There are lots of single femmes around. We need a butch femme commune because it seems we are all geographically challenged!
