Its all about signals. The way you dress, look, smile, move around.

The split-up probably inflected your attitude towards men unintentionally, thinking: I don't need men. They noticed that.

Now go out and have a good time.

Hoof hearted; would that be a 1963 split window? *he asked drooling*

Very insightful.

The moment I made a resolution to be 'open' someone walked in. So it's true Diana.

Unfortunately...no. The '63 is from the second generation, mine is from the third. 1978 Silver Anniversary, just over 15,000 produced in the two-toned SA colors.

It seems attitude IS everything...
You know...both Hubby and I admitted to having given up on finding anyone when we found each other. Sometimes, I think if you look too hard, you tend to pass over many good oportunities from being too critical. If you just let it happen, it happens. You DO have to be receptive to it, and recognize it when you see it...maybe when a person relaxes, that is picked up by members of the opposite sex as being confident and/or available?

I will TOTALLY agree with this statement.

Earlier this year, I had decided that it was my lot in life to be a single woman, and to be happy with that little bit of destiny. So, I started finding what it was in life that made ME happy - instead of trying to make everyone else around me happy. I decided to 'enter' society instead of standing on the fringes and watching everyone else, and I ended up finding someone that I hit it off with instantly - we met as friends, but quickly fell in love.

I truly think that 'wanting' someone so badly puts off an air of desparation that other people can sense. You may not realize it - and you may not even be desparate for someone in your life - however part of you subconsciously is searching for that 'other half' in every person that you meet, and that can be picked up on by other people.

That said, I recommend letting go - take each day for what it is, and make yourself happy - you may be surprised with who falls in your lap.

A very nice piece of machinery indeed! I luuuve these 50's pastel 2-tones. I predict these will be en vogue again sometime in the future.

For the "invisible" DanaC:

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.

(Lord Byron)

They weren't pastel in the 50's, they've just faded over the years.
