July 17, 2003Time AgainOn occasion, the singles of the blogosphere break down and bare their souls. I've done it, Yeti's done it, Edie's done it, Anne, BreakUpBabe, Jez, etc., have all done it. Some of the newer single bloggers will if they haven't already. Periodically, most will do it again. It's my turn to bare my soul again. After some time of Helping Folks Out© and NotDating™, I've met some wonderful ladies and had many rich, rewarding friendships. Some are candidates for a long term relationship. A few could even be a candidate for Mrs. Married Guy In the South. I will continue to advocate the two systems to all singles. They are an excellent way to meet people whether intimacy is involved or not. However, EmptySex® and casual relationships can only fill certain needs. Carnal desires, mental stimulation, and even some emotional needs, are all fulfilled. There is a greater need I believe we all seek, regardless of gender. Fullfilling those lesser needs without filling that greater need is akin to a car without a motor, a baseball game without a batter, or a house that's not a home. What is this greater need I speak of? Keep on reading to find out. The greater need not met is spiritual. It is a union of souls that is the rarest common occurence in the history of mankind. NotDating™ and Helping Folks Out© seem to be the most swift way to eventually get to a person that mutually fulfills spiritual needs. The problem with these systems and dating as popularly conceived is the confusion between the traditional daters and the systems adherents. All three systems seek the same end. Each have their own benefits and drawbacks. Regardless of our path, aren't we all looking for the same thing? Finding that person who is "The One?" The quick description of this site is "The epic ramblings of a young professional in the South in his Quixote-like quest to find ''the One.'' I've known so many people and seen plenty of blogs by married folks who are clearly still looking for their "One," because now married, they have discovered their partner is not "The One." The rare instances that we find a love we spiritually connect to is a blessing, indeed. To be candid, I envy those who have a spiritual connection. I want what they have. When I met Mike and Rita, I loved them and envied them at the same time. It was clear to me that they complemented each other. Further, and more accurately, they completed each other. Together, they have what I seek. It is what the epic quest is all about-the lady that completes me. I will find or realize her-find if I haven't met her; realize if I have. I know that I already love her; she already loves me. At the moment we realize we complete each other, it will be our best day. Until then, the quest continues.

That was the sweetest thing I have read in a long time...... goodluck............ Posted by: holly at July 17, 2003 11:13 AMYes, yes, well said, and sweet. But you're braver than I. I just put my number out. You bared your soul, and some woman is going to read that, and they're going to think that just because you get it you're their "ONE." I would have pretended I was someone else and just talked about it. You're inviting danger. Drawing a big red target on yossef. Right now, women across the blogosphere are saying "Ladies and Gentleman, Mrs. Married Southern Guy." You are just the sweetest thing! I just hope it doesn't take you 40 yrs. to find it like it did me. Mike & I both recognized what we'd finally found the first moment we laid eyes on each other. I suspect you will too. Oh BTW, completely off topic, but my daughter's wanting to start a blog. She turned 23 today too. *whistling innocently* Posted by: Rita at July 17, 2003 09:06 PMPost a comment
