I offered to start a thread, if he was amenable to meeting a female...( see ladies, he's way too modest to do it himself)...so here it is...
He's 32, has a young daughter, no longer in the military, now lives in Columbus, Ga, and works for the federal government. There's some good pics on his home page, so just click on his name.
After this thread is up, I'm going to ask our "Bachelor" if he'd care to post a few comments about himself, and what he might be looking for in a partner. I'd humbly suggest that it's probably better to reply, if interested, via Freepmail, but if you want to share any comments publicly on this thread, please do so.
I've often seen suggestions posted that FR should add a "Personals" section....maybe this will jumpstart it.
Be kind of neat if two folks can possibly connect, then at the very least "Tragically Single" would have to change that depressing handle...
Here ya go...wanna add a few comments...?
It's a miracle that the lonely EVER meet each other. You're doing good work here.
I saw Tragically's page a while ago. Made me wish I was quite a bit younger. ;)
I knew I should have called myself something like "tragically single"
i didn't meet the most wonderful woman - she met ME!
I thought you were Catholic.
Broken to the wheel after years of howling in the wilderness, the pain, the pain.
~~sigh~~
I wish I was younger.
*waves*
21, single male, Wichita KS. ;)
Be assured there are many of us single Freeperettes out here!!! Some of us have never been married! (Not for lack of trying though ;)
But if I ever march down the aisle again, it will be with a gun-toting, sports-loving, motorcycle-riding, conservative FReeper!
Nobody else would be able to stand me.
Get over here.
Not to mention old enough to be his mother.
Other than that..............................
I always sort of wondered why there wasn't a Freeper match! Seems logical.
I'm sure there are a lot of us single gals (and guys) on Free Republic. Although, I must say that I would probably hide out for several days if anyone posted this thread for me!!
BTW, Tragic does have a pretty adorable kid!! (thanks for posting her pic!!)
...........now if he were 55 or 60........
This will be a test case to see if JR will change your freepname. Could be changed to tragically engaged or tragically married. You do want people to recognise you are the same person.
I should clarify this. What really led to the breakup of the marriage was her getting a boyfriend while I was on duty in Bosnia, not the difficulty of separation per se lol......
He looks great in uniform...and dogs like him. That's a good sign! : )
This is great! I met my fiance on-line, although not here -he did introduce me to FreeRepublic. I think it's great to have a little "match" thread going on for all our singles to get together. Sniff..sniff... I can see it now: "FReeper wedding photos"
