fortyninethousand322 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 When I was about 18, I had my astrological chart done at a Renaissance faire. It was one of those things like you see in bad movies - the astrologer got a very uncomfortable look on her face. She told me that I was destined to never be happy in love, and ultimately alone. That really did trouble me. Since it has turned out to not be the case, I'm sure my hypothetical answer will probably be different than if it had. But anyway, I believe I would have formed some kind of familial living situation with other friends including children, and made a life with them. That is something I wanted to do during my years as a single mother, but I didn't. I would hope that I'd still have learned to be deeply grateful for all the privileges, beauty and opportunities, and even the miseries, of my life, even if it hadn't have included any sexual / romantic love. I shook a Magic 8 ball once. You'll never guess what it told me about my future love life...

ltjg45 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I remember that day where I posted on the Jaguars forum before the Baltimore at Jacksonville Monday Night Football game where I said that if the Jaguars defeat the Ravens that night (when Jacksonville sucks hard and Baltimore was at the top of their division), I would give up my virginity. Jacksonville won 9-7. That was over a year ago. So far, I still got that virginity. So much for fate.
Zulnex Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) That's an excellent and very challenging question. Well, it would take me a long time just to accept the fact that I am destined to be alone. This process would be difficult and very painful. After accepting this fact, I would fully focus on others. Volunteering to help the sick and poor would be my first priority. Staying active in the community and internationally would make me feel very happy. Knowing that I am making a difference in someone's life would be truly rewarding. If I end up alone, then that's what I will do. Edited April 1, 2013 by Zulnex 1

ltjg45 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. You have to first find me. I don't make myself very well known.
todreaminblue Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I'm talking a life where the most you'll get are friendships, but never the romantic love, boyfriend/girlfriend, nothing. How would you spend the rest of your life? And forget the "I don't believe in fate" answers. Just be a little hypothetical or refrain from responding. I would throw myself into charity work........do something for others......I have been single a long time......once my kids leave home...i will do what i have always wanted to do if i am still single which is travel the world, or live on a farm or both........as long as i can help others i will have a full life with or without someone....deb 1
El Brujo Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Well, at least I wouldn't get any more of those offers trying to sell me life insurance...
Esoteric Elf Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I'm talking a life where the most you'll get are friendships, but never the romantic love, boyfriend/girlfriend, nothing. How would you spend the rest of your life? Already happening and well in motion. I am concentrating on publishing a simultaneously academically rigorous and popular piece of fiction. I am writer by birthright and shall die one, good or no. I see myself continuing to move upward through the ranks of the business world, and, once I get high enough and satisfied, I will apply to Oxford or Cambridge, and spend the rest of my years there as a professor, writing, working out, practicing archery and doing anything else I deem useful and the least bit enjoyable. Somewhere in there before grad school, I would like to try technical writing as well.
Mr Scorpio Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Play guitar. Drink manhattans after midnight. Exercise. Watch television. Read. Cook tasty food.
Celtica Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I'd be a nun. A hot one though! Because, after all, if God said I wasn't going to be with anyone in the end, who's it gonna distract? Might as well have fun as a nun 1

lino Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I wouldn't do anything different I guess other than finding out how to adopt a child. If things don't work out with my girlfriend then I think I'll be doing just that. I've never lived my life or done things in certain ways just so I could get a girl.
dasein Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Am choosing to be alone for the time being and have never been happier. Habits haven't changed other than getting better sleep. I wake up and lay there thinking "damn that sleep was good!" If I ever do get back into a LTR, there may have to be separate bedrooms. 1
