I have been out the of singles' life for 10 years now, and in trying to rejoin
the single-scene, I am feeling quite lost. I had been involved with the same
girl for almost 10 years, we never married for the simple sake that we never
felt the need. We had lived together since the 2nd year. We had a great life
together, each built around the other. I lost her to an automobile accident
this pas summer, and since then have been working up the courage to get out
in the single life again.

Since I have been trying to be active, i have found more obstacles than i can
ever remember being in the way before. people play 3 times as many games as
they did the last time around, and the word trust seems to be just that, a 
word. Everyone seems to feel that you are out for something ulterior, or they
want something from you. I can only be myself, but I have seen people portray
3 or 4 different people in the same night.

Has anyone else experienced things like this ? Is it just me ? I am only 32
and am fairly decent in the looks and personality department, so what does
it take to get a chance taken on a person ?

All help/advice will be greatly appreciated !!
