I'm just venting, as I do not know the answer to the question I posed, but I do wonder why I am here some days, as I love my friends dearly, but romance keeps escaping me, or perhaps I am incapable of seeing it and emabracing it?...I can't tell any longer.

I know I am chronologically very young, but I've always felt like an "old soul", like I have sacrificed love for other more material gains in past lives (the recent Leo moon past life catching up to me, mayhaps?).

I'm a little lonely, even knowing all that stuff anout loving yourself first and foremost. I try really hard...but nothing seems to help

Ladies dont rush into love, let it find you when it is ready. It is difficult to wait, but really only when the time is right will you "know"

For now, I send you love

I'm 26 and single too. I empathize with the old soul feeling and having a hard time trying to find the right guy. Then to read fluffy tales of "the One," and true reality being completely different for what seems like 99% of the population . . . Well, you can see how a girl with a Capricorn Moon can feel all depressed! These sorts of things really make me wonder if our society isn't getting something and whatever "it" is, slips under the radar screen if you know what I mean.

Yes, astrology and other spiritual practices are extremely insightful for learning about ourselves. Truly! But in the end, learning how to work with Time and with what we have are the most important facets - in the face of having dreams and aspirations.

By the way, aren't you in Florida or something? I think I read somewhere that you got into a really cool program, along the lines management and retail. Disney World??? How is that going? Are you going back to school this fall?

If you lived out here, I'd invite you out to kick it with me and my Cappy cousin. She's about your age too. We'd have a couple of pitchers of Sangria and eat warmed, smoked Spanish cheese at this cool tapas restaurant located next to the art galleries downtown.

and *hugs*

Enjoy your life. Don't make longing for love the center of your life.

I know we are in the Soul Union thread here, and if I didn't believe in that I wouldn't be here myself, but on the other hand, it is my deep conviction that the IDEA OF ROMANTIC LOVE has wrecked more lives in the history of man (and woman) kind than all wars combined.

Yes, we all have soul mates, but this need/greed for love is endlessly fed by song lyrics, romance novels, soap operas, commercials, and everything else that surrounds us. In other words, VAA, part of your dilemma is that you are succombing to peer pressure and hormones. While natural to wonder when you will meet your beloved, it is also a BIG mistake to make this longing the center of your life, and in fact, if this is really the case, it could point to a lack of purpose in life. Do you have any kind of passion in your life for a particular activity? Do you work or study? You know what I am getting at: Get a life. An independant life regardless of whether there is a man in it or not, because he can never fill the vacuum in the life of a woman who doesn't know what to do with herself. (Not that I am suggesting this is your case.)

And Sue G. - before you slam me for trying to kill the idea of romance just because I am not a romantic - I damn well AM a romantic. I am smitten right now with someone who isn't even good for me, and he's not my husband , infact, we aren't even speaking anymore, so how is that for stupid. But I am also a Virgo, and analyze I must.

VAA, you are a Virgo too, so I have confidence you will get what I am saying, if not now, then twenty years from now...

Damn, you sound so sweet and innocent and young... I wish I could put you in a bubble and put a spell of happiness on you and keep you safe for a while longer....

What's your mother's phone number? (Just kidding)

Lots of love

I can see, special smilies are in order, which I forgot to insert into my comment earlier. I should have put a , or a , or a or something...

Of course you are not coming across like that, you of all people.... You are one of the sweetest participants here, and I always read and love your posts. I am sorry I offended you. I was actually smiling as I wrote it, and because of that I thought it was obvious that I was making a joke.

Love,

Evenso, when you are in a relationship and living w. s/o and practicalities intrude and you have to put up w. all their little (and sometimes enormous) quirks...sometimes you can want to get out of the fire. Romance has a bit of a tendency to work at a distance!!

Take your time and DEFINETELY try to maintain an independent lifestyle for a while, even if you find yourself in a new relationship.

Hugs,

BUT....... I have to say I have never met anyone I would have wanted to marry and if I had married I would be divorced by now! I find that as I get older I realize how Serious of a thing Marriage is and I don't feel the majority of the population get Married for reasons other than Security, Financial or just cause they can't be alone, due to Societal Stigma! I look at those people who are miserable and think how lucky I am that I haven't made the same big mistakes.

I just wanted to offer a bit of encouragement: When I was a young, a very wise woman told me that I’d find the love of my life the minute I stopped looking for him. It’s taken me years, and three failed loves to really believe the truth in this statement.

I remember the heartache of being 18-21 and having never loved someone. I used to feel as if I had a bubble around me that kept those of the opposite sex from even noticing me. Then I finally emerged from that bubble and was blessed with the love of three men. Each man I’ve loved and lost has taught me something priceless, but none of them have lingered. As a water sign, I’m a hopeless romantic and yearn for a deep and abiding connection with someone, and I haven’t found that yet. But at this age in stage in my life, I’m ready to actually take to heart the advice that wise woman gave me back in high school.

I’m going to relax, and learn to love my life alone. I’m going to stop looking on the horizons for the man that will hold onto me as tightly as I do him. I’m going to trust that fate will bring his ship to my shores when we’re ready. I suggest, dear friends, that you do the same. You may love and loose men, and you’ll learn every time your heart breaks, but the one you yearn for will only come into your life at the fullness of time – when your souls are ripe and ready for one another.

Hold onto faith and hope, and find peace within yourself.

I wish you the best!
