So, this is the second social site for dating that I've joined, and I must say, the results of joining have been better than the last experience. Unfortunately, I am really tired of "dating" at this point. I have a great job, which I love, and plenty of great friends, who I am around constantly; however, I recognize that I miss being part of a couple.

I recently ended a relatively short relationship (but, actually, kind've long for me) and am still sad about him. I am not hung up on him, I just have to work with him, so things at work are going to be tough for a while. I let my guard down with him, and he seemed like he was going to be in my life for a long time. Now, we're trying the "just friends" routine. Does it really work for anyone? I mean, someone like him: narcissistic, shallow, immature, superficial..maybe. But I don't have such "on-the-surface" relationships. I have CLOSE friends, who I respect and am respected by, who I know much about. I don't think I can include this man in that...so does the friend thing ever really work, I wonder?

I think I need to focus my energy on just finding a "real man". Someone who's a doer, not just a sayer. Where are these men? I've yet to find someone...but I'm still looking!
