Dancing, I don't think you should worry about not being attracted to anyone at the moment. This is my opinion. I don't think we are romance machines who should find an object at any given moment. Even if the situation stays the same over a long period of time, there is nothing to worry about. I agree personally that it is nicer to be in the company of someone you love than alone. But being alone is my second choice to just play the game of dating with the hope that it will get someplace. I don't like dating sites as they seem to me a bit like a "meat market", though that is only my personal view and the sites wouldn't have existed if they didn't have a value. I also have a past of being a technofob, so perhaps that plays a part of the way i see these sites. Perhaps I am being superficial here, as i don't have much experience of my own with dating sites. Anbyhow, i think: Do what you believe in and be where your heart leads you, and in the right time you shall meet the love of your life.

Thanks, Ayelet! I have my DC ruler in the 11th so Internet has been a good fishing market for me. But right now my attitude is "same old, same old".. I've done this before and I know people only seem too good to be true until you know them. :/ Sorry to be such a cynic, but I don't see anyone truly "special" right now.
I don't mind being alone. I love being by myself and I have a fulfilling life as it is. However, I do want a family and kids and occasionally I panic that time is running out. It pains me to think back on the time I've wasted on people who turned out to be not so serious about this, though initially they promised the moon and sky.
But I know that my readiness is a process and like with everything else, I seem to take my sweet time getting ready (Taurus Venus, perhaps). So I am not sad or upset about being single, just a little frustrated sometimes that I am too critical (which like I said, I can be ~ self protection mechanism and all).

I think we should stick to our standards if they are realistic, if you couldn't find what meets your standards 10/10 you can lower them a bit, but you shouldn't go lower 5/10 of your standards.

Of course setting standards based on appearance alone is a bit shallow as we Humans consist of Spirit Mind and Body not Body alone.
