Lonely heart seeks happiness

BY Honey West ("Ask Miss Honey")

I am very lonely. I'm 33, decent looking, heart on my sleeve, have nice things, but can't get a date to save my soul. It's been 12 years since i've had a hookup that actually felt good. It's been about 8 years since the last lousy hookup. No relationships since. Recently my dog of 9 years passed, so now the house is quiet. I have noticed that my hobbies (building/racing cars) scare everyone off for some odd reason. I don't smell, I'm clean cut. What gives? Is it because I still struggle with my identity? Some wierd unknown vibe? I'm tired of the heartache and searching and need to move on. How does one transition to better things than the dating scene?

Well you are not alone in your search for love. Remember people are out there looking for you as well.

Are there any car clubs or organizations in your area that you could meet guys outside of a bar? I would suggest you make a list of the qualities you find most important. Not just physically, I mean real qualities like being honest and kind. And make sure you become the person you want to be with. The more you love yourself, the more it will show and people will notice. We sometimes project to people how we are to be treated and perceived. Make sure you are loving yourself and love will find you. When it does just be ready to recieve it.
