Chicks On Lit discussion

This could be a place where you talk about where you want to be five years from now.

interesting.

I will go first. I am 33. I haven't been on a date or dating in almost 4 years. I have a very slow social life because I don't drive. I have some friends but they have busy lives. I only get to see them on their time which is once every two to four months. I have a vision impairment so getting to places is tricky. Also, because I have such a slow life, meeting guys is hard as well. I am tired of being alone. I have tried church groups and the local churches dialing fingers must be broken. There aren't any groups for people my age in my community that doesn't involve husbands and kids. I am also on a budget so cost need to be cheap or free. Any thing I haven't tried?

I'm 56, intelligent, well-read, financially independent, and single. I'd like to have a man around part-time to go to movies and share a good meal, but it seems that men my age want younger women. Well, let's just say sex. I'm not all that interested in the "just for him" kind of sex. Good conversation might lead to sex - probably would. Anyone else feel this way?

Jayme, you have access to the Internet, and that means you can meet people online. I'm not familiar with the sites that match people up, but I'm sure someone here can guide you that way.

I tried dating sites and the good ones cost money. I tried all the conventional ways. I agree with you about the sex part. I don't want a guy just for that aspect. That isn't meaningful.

Jayme, I really hope we can both meet a man we like. Maybe we should try Match.com and see what happens.

I'd like to move the topic more toward painting pictures of our futures. And maybe we can share some wisdom along the way.

Five years from now, I want to be healthy and happy, teaching adults to read, and working on a Habitat for Humanity house in my town.

Five years from now I want to be a SAHM, spending my weekends on the lake and generally doing as I please.

A great question! Really made me think of what my goals used to be when I was younger as opposed to what they are today.

I am 22. I love my friends, I love my family, I love my life. The only aspect I'm not 100% with is that right now I have a JOB in cosmetics. I want to get started on my career.

In five years from now,I will be two or three years married to my wonderful S/O.I hope to be done school for social work. I want to be starting a career where I'm helping people. In five years, I want to be able to tell people that I've started travelling around the world, like I've always wanted to do. I want to be playing catch with my twin nephews, and take them out for ice cream.

Five years from now, I want to have three little ones with my husband. I want my student debt paid off, my job at the library to have gone from part-time to full-time, and to be in a house with a little more property. I want my family to be happy and healthy, and my husband and I to be as in love as ever.
