			<description><![CDATA[Want and need are two very different things.  Maybe some time alone will help you figure this out? 
  
 I know that no one wants to be alone, but I think sometimes we need tobe alone for a while to figure it all out,to take good care of and focus on no one other than ourselves. its not an easy thing t...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Like you, I also always needed a man in my life to feel "complete". But now I made a conscious choice to not date for at least 3 months.

			<description><![CDATA[I so relate to this, yet the "new" me is rather enjoying NOT having a man (other than my son, step son, brother-in-law, etc..) in my life.  For the FIRST time in my life...my needs come first!  My wants, my desires.
