Thoughts to consider

You can't expect someone to want to be with you if you don't want to be with yourself. One must be in tuned with one's self. I believe that your true love will complete but not in the sense of you being incomplete. You, yourself, must be fully happy with yourself and be ok with being by yourself. You shouldn't depend upon the strength of others for your own happiness. Once you have become content with this, you will find that special someone. I believe this to be true.
They will complete you even more. Like 150%.
Think about it this way. Who would want to be around you if you don't want to be around yourself?
Exactly!
You being you, will attract them to you. That's why you don't find love. You fall into it. like gravity.

Another thing. It takes time.
Sometimes, things aren't suppose to happen when you want them to. Take a break.
Sometimes, you need to take a break and look at what's going on around you. Be aware of you surroundings!
Just because you are ready, doesn't mean that they are. RELAX!!!! If it's meant to be, it will happen. Have you ever heard the phrase "If you love someone, let them go. If they love you, they will come back. If they don't, then it wasn't meant to be."?
I have I believe it's true. it kinda happened to me before although it was really "love" at the time. Here's the thing. Or, at least my honest opinion. Sometimes you just have to be friends. In fact, I only date friends. You tend to be close to friends. More open to them. You care about them and they care about you. If you do have strong feelings and they want to be friends. Then be friends. You never know what could happen. Just be yourself. Don't try to impress. Be REAL! Everybody loves a real person. Be there for them when they need a hand. Be available to them when they need a shoulder to cry on. Be honest with them. If their breath stinks, tell them. Or...Give them gum. they will get the hint.

If you don't, you might ruin a good thing. But fret not. There is still a chance. Just take it slow. Yes. It is going to be much harder now than it was before, but if it wasn't worth it, you wouldn't be doing it. Take a step back. Review. Look what you have done. Now fix it! Just like a programmer. I make mistakes. I can't just "give up" or "throw in the towel." I have to see what went wrong and fix it.

Life is about mistakes. Mistakes make you stronger and wiser if you learn from them. Having good friends to talk to late at night while intoxicated helps to. (LOL you know who you are. Thanks to you all) So learn. Be strong and keep going. Be true to yourself and you will be true to others. I need to go. I have a date with myself. It's been complaining lately that I don't take it out enough!
holla!
