But I wonder how gun shy I will be on my next relationship. While I hope for love, I don't know if I will be this patient with my next love.

It sounds like a tall order doesn't it? Meeting them, attraction, chemistry, things in common.....I'd call that fate. It's happened...I just ran smack into the "if it's meant to be, it will happen" part. [sigh] But I'm not going to give up. It's a beautiful, wondrous thing.

I think those of us that can love deeply, can find others that love deeply as well. Even easier

Positive Polly!

I think the key is to want it, without getting obsessive about it. You can't force it to happen. But I do believe that the way we think can influence events in our lives. If we want it without getting obsessive; if we can let go of outcomes without giving up on the whole thing - this, I think, is the best frame of mind you can be in for it to happen.

The corollary... If I was on fire with passion, instead of smoldering unsatisfactorily - it couldn't help but intensify who I am and what I do, far beyond my time in the bedroom.

This. So much this. Pretty much wasted the past 24 years having my fire doused every night with icy cold water. At this point I am not looking to rekindle the flame. I figure my wife wanted soggy coals, so that is what she is going to get.

I want to fall in love again with someone who wants to fully live life, isn't afraid to be vulnerable, emotionally intelligent who wants to do things and loves sex!!! Cuddling etc. I don't think I'd want to get married.
I'm in the Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football cycle that DryCreek mentioned. That's interesting someone else mentioned it because I used to always think about that when believing my H that things would change and falling for it again and again.

Would never trust another partner not to pull away the football. Part of why I stay. If I am not going to allow myself to trust, no point in going back out into the pool.
