    oh ... so, it would seem you are looking for the superficial - in which case, it's a crap shoot because by its nature superficiality has no depth and is always fleeting ...

    Sounds like Genie is looking for the perfect "Friends With Benefits" situation to me.

    I'm just wondering why no man from London on this board has chimed in and offered at this point? :confused::)

    why do men think about sex instantly? did i ever mention sex in my posts - no. i don't want benefits, i just want erm.... comradeship i don't even know if it's the right word to describe what i'm looking for.

    I didn't say it instantly, it took me a few posts. :D

    Normally the kind of adventures you're seeking can get uncomfortable when there's no benefits. Only because most guys will think that it will lead to it anyway. Especially if you get along great and have fun adventures with this person. He'll think "I've found the best girl ever" It's kind of a natural instinct for most

    did i say i wanted this person to be a guy? ;):p this person can be either male or female, their age don't bother me much either, and their sexuality can be anything. in fact all i want is great upbeat fun personality.

    Seems to me you're just looking for a really good friend. Who says it has to be a man? The best way to get this without confusion over 'benefits' might be to find some girlfriends you can share these kinda things with.

    What kind of things do you like to do? Maybe joining some kind of adventure club is the best way to hook up with like minded people?


    Edit: You beat me to it :)

    Listen to Urban Hippie :)

    I just figured you meant a guy when you said Soulmate, that's all.

    Try a new adventurous activity, like Sea Kayaking or something :D You'll meet some cool friends and you'll have adventure friends to go trip with.

    i think i'm numb, i'm also very confused as to what i want from life.
    IMO, another person can't resolve that stuff for you...you have to do that on your own. The numbness is never taken away from you by someone...you have to drive it out on your own. The confusion is different, and it'll always be there to some degree, but it seems to get less and less over time...especially if you're making things happen and inspiring yourself to combat the numbness. Then you start to see what's really important and what's not.

    but you see that's where i'm misunderstood why should a soulmate be a person of the opposite sex or someone i fancy.

    when i was younger i knew exactly what i wanted from life and who i was, but now that i'm changing and developing interest to new things and being influenced by people with weird outlook on life, and can see some limitations, and how other people lived their life, i don't know how to go about things

    mhmmm, I'd say it was the same for me. The more you're exposed to the world, the less sense it makes. Most people don't want to deal with this and think about this...that's why things like TV are so popular :p

    There's no guide as to how to go about doing things and finding inspiration in your life...just keep in touch with what makes you really excited or happy deep down inside, and you should be generally ok imo.

    how is it superficial? it's far from it. so what's not superficial then, describe it to me?

    firstly - don't take this the wrong way as most of us fall into this category ...

    but what you are looking for is a companion that suits your own personal needs - those needs can change from day to day week to week ... the components of which are essentially superficial ... you are not necessarily looking to establish a connection where you give as well as you get ...

    well i'd be proactive, but i've got no one at the moment with whom i can have fun, i need someone who says "yes", spontaneous, flexible with time, has enough money to have fun, who can be trusted and relied on, and with wicked personality. so far i've found no one who's like that. someone who tries to work things out if i do something wrong.
    :D sounds like me... except for the having enough money part :o

    Had I not found this love with you

    not feeling too confused these days but sure an adventure buddy or finding my soulmate would be cool :)
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...
