I do the "search and then time out" cycle all the time. I have been in several other sites and quit after a while. I meet and date someone for a while. When it ends, I eventually get ready to search again. I then get tired of looking and quit. Until I'm ready to search again.
Its just not the center of my existence. I have a busy life and lots of responsibilities that take my time and energy. I want someone special in my life, but don't believe searching all of the time will help me find him. I sometimes suspect I will just run into him one day, when I least expect it. There's a power greater than me in charge anyway!
Like mrsmiles, I also see the same faces/profiles all the time. So, going away and coming back makes the "search" fresher. At the very least, I am fresher.
But this site allows the development of friendships, which I am enjoying. Especially for many of us 50+ people: we have our work, our families, and our day-to-day lives that we give a lot of energy to, but socially, where do we go to meet like-minded people? Bars are not where many or most of us want to spend out free time. DH allows us to make friends and share thoughts and ideas, and search as we choose, or not.

I am not addicted to searching. I am concerned of "taking the plunged" into the investing into someone I don't know what I am investing in. I guess I am scared of the fear of being hurt because I don't know what is coming. The person I just met, is wanting to be "involved" and I am nervous and won't give him an answer. We are going out again on Fri. and I have to be strong to make him realize where I am with my emotions. ~I guess I have to depend on communication and hope it is honest.

I did not come here to search...., and I was never a "chaser".
If there is enough of a "blossom" left on my "stem" at this later stage of my life, a beautiful butterfly will find it, and decide for herself whether she wishes to come back just to visit, or stay.....
As I wrote in one of my favorite poems many years ago.....
Love for the young is very much like that of a
Butterfly’s Love for flowers:
It flutters from blossom to blossom,
tasting each bloom, seeing each color,
and in very much haste!,
seeming to know by instinct,
that Fall….., and Death…..,
must also have their moment in the Sun.
Yet, while it lives, the butterfly has
the awesome dilemma of choosing
it’s lingerings between those having
the most nectar, the sweetest nectar,
And the One…….., with the greatest beauty!

rumors??????????????????? about me?????????????????? now why would you all speak while I'm away???????????????????????? being friendly does not make me easy.....................having fun, does not make me easy. BUT, if you say so, then that's an opinion, and do respect that. can't say I agree, or more so that it is true, yet what you believe is what you believe. I'm not one to go chnaging anyone. even when it is wrong about how they think.

PS. There was a time at the university, many years ago, when I was not searching for someone, and it just happened one day.
It seemed for while that life was complete being in love with another. But it did not last. She was soon with someone else, and I was left to look upon them with envious but kind jealousy.
That was when I wrote the following poem. It was the last one I gave to her.....
"I wish I were that I might be
a measure of that entity which captivates
your fancy free Spirit entwined about his heart.
Though I have never had a girl
Who cared enough to make unfurl
Feelings within me felt for you.
Still, I can dream that I am him
Who partakes of your warmest whim,
And whispers words of Love unspoken,
Heard only by our Hearts unbroken."
