Heather - Given Up on Falling in Love

I have been on my own for such a long time, it feels like the longing for a partner has become a part of my personality.

In other words, a big part of my identity and persona is wrapped up in being alone. I have become so accustomed to it that I suspect I attract energy that keeps people away. I also just can't quite seem to imagine/believe that I will be able to find someone, fall in love, have them fall in love with me and then have both of us choose a committed relationship with each other.

I feel like I have given up on falling in love and really dont want to give up on it, but it seems that I have.

I also feel exactly the same way as you. I have been divorced for eight years now, I say that I want to meet my soul mate, I am tired of having only my two sons to share my life with.It seems like even though I think about falling in love or trying to meet someone, I somehow find some way to sabatoge my efforts, even though I don't realize I am doing it. I too have a hard time accepting that someone could fall in love with me.
