I'm in there with both of you, 100%. I love to travel some, enjoy my family, meet new people, but I am a homebody too. It would be great if there was a man who joined me in this life, but I WILL NOT SETTLE, again. Question is, where do you find this man with similar interest? I want a helpmate, a soulmate, a kindred soul, but where is he? Where do you find that special one in this life? Somebody please tell me! Till someone falls in my lap, I will enjoy my yard, my vacations and road trips, my little grandchildren, and keep looking for Mr. Right.

You said it. Where are they? I am not settling either. Until God opens up the heavens and says: "Here is the one I have chosen for you!" I am not going to get involved. Also, my dog Harm has to approve. Until then, I am involved in the same activities you have mentioned.

I wish I knew, I promise I would tell you!

Maybe we want too much, maybe there are very few that actually find their soul mate. I think if I got on the net and was willing to relocate, perhaps I could find him but relocation for me is not possible, at least not for the next five years. Besides, how would you really be able to spend time with them and find out if you are truly compatible if they are so far away? I would want to spend a great deal of time together to make sure I wasn't making a big mistake. This thread was a good idea because we know we all have the commonality of being conservative types but you run into the same logistical problems here as on dating sites, distance!

I work for a pretty big company, there are 5 married couples I know of, at least 4 met at work. One couple I admire greatly, eat lunch together, take walks together, treat each other with respect and seem to just enjoy each other's company. That's the kind of relationship I want, I'm sure it's not always honky dory but it looks like it from the outside in. I'm not prepared to accept anything less than this type of relationship, I'd rather be alone and it looks like a good possibility that will happen.
