I'm Bridget Jones!

[Homer Simpson]

Did anyone see Bridget Jones last night? Well i did for about the 30th time and it seems to be getting better everytime! Bridget's life is my life, going from one disaster to another, except i havent had the happy ending! [:-((]
I've met so many Daniel Clevers and Mark D'arcys, in fact nearly every guy i've met was a Daniel or a Mark! [:-(] Every New Year's Day i make the same resolutions but never keep them and i keep meeting all the wrong guys, is there any hope for me?
Is there anyone else in the same boat as Bridget and I ??? [:-?]

Join the club! I'd say every woman at this stage feels like Bridget especially when it comes to the "big knickers" trying to hold everything in! Men treating us like total crap.

All by yourself............[:-))]

To change your life around I recommend not using purple string in the soup.

Don't be down Homer Simpson........we all get our ups and downs. The right man is out there for you somewhere.[@};-]

You are not populist claptrap written by a poor man's Sue Townsend.

Unlucky in love yes, but please don't think you're the misfortunate Bridget Jones. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy I'd hate anyone to wish upon themselves.

Instead, think of yourself as a happy well-adjusted chap who has had some misaventures in love. Who knows? if you start to believe it, it might come true.

I hate to rain on your parade but there is also the chance that you may be single for a very long time. the sooner you stop placing your self worth and happiness on finding the right guy then the happier you will be.

You might also want to look at the pattern of guys that you are dating it could be that you have a fear of commitment (think about it) and thats why you end up with the same guys over and over again, because deep down you know it wont work out.

It does you no good when people say "ooohh mister right is just around the corner" because all that does is give you false hope. sort your life out first, do things that you enjoy doing and stop fucking worrying about your love life.

My apologies if that seems a bit harsh it is not my intention to offend you.

i am waaaaaaaaaay too sober to be talking like this chatelaine have the maid bring the car round i need to go to the offy.

I must agree with you Joe. I don't think its healthy indentifying with a girl who has low self-asteem and such large relationship issues who holds out in the hope that Mr. Right will come along and, if he makes a mistake, he'll make a huge gesture to show how sorry he is. Ladies, I've never once heard of this happening in real life. Mr. Right might not come along and you are responsible for your own happiness. Men generally don't know what they've done wrong or how to make up for a mistake so grand gestures are nigh impossible. I might be written of as being negative but I'm just being realistic. I have to be careful with your heart and you can't leave it up to faith like these women do to find "The One".

[joeohara]

I have to agree with petit also, it's really not healthy to identify with some silly moo (this applys to men as well) who thinks that if they lose a few pounds and change their clothes or hair then *poof* the man or woman of their dreams will appear.

All that film does is make women of a certain age seem like sad needy people who's entire life revolves around finding the right man.

I made my peace a long time ago with the fact that i may be single forever and i am ok with that. it took me a long time to get used to the idea but the moment i stopped placing my happiness on finding Mr right then the happier i became.

That is why you need to be ok with yourself inside & out and settled in your life before you even think about looking for a relationship. You owe it to the other person to have your head sorted out.

Hope this helps ya out. chin up babe

Lads your hilarious! I don't really think all men treat us women like crap only the ones we want but can't have! Its true about the "big knickers" though!

[Nula]

I honestly don't think there's the "One" either I do believe happiness is what you make of it yourself. As for what women want, not even women themselves know the answer to that!

Well I think it is like everything else.......the more effort one puts in the greater the chance of success!

[Homer Simpson]

I'm laughing here because i think people misunderstood me! I posted this thread as a light hearted topic but people seem to take it very seriously! I think we have a few amature psychiatrists here [:-D] Can i just make it clear i'm not some desparate guy mad to meet a guy to make my life complete!!! [:-)'] I'm a very happy contented person and I love being single! [:-P] I've great friends and ive a great social life. Ok if a nice guy comes along, that would be nice but im not out to grab the first guy i meet! [:-D] My god, do you all think i'm man hungry psycho? [:-O ]

[chatelaine]

My god, do you all think i'm man hungry psycho? [:-O ]

Yes.

Only joking! [:-D]

I am sorry but your post is confusing and you can't blame people for taking it seriously as the above post can hardly be called "light hearted" [8-|]

Ditto. We were only trying to help! @};-

[Homer Simpson]

My apologies to everyone! [:''] In future i'll be more careful and put more thought in to how a word my posts! [:-D] Please forgive me! [:-(] Joe, you have wisdom beyond your years, you should go in to counselling! [:-D]
I think we can all amit to having a Bridget Jones day in our lives? [:-?]

In the words of Terry Pratchett

Soul mates exist, it only makes sense that while the Gods are absolulte bastards at times the also fell obliged to see that their subjects are well looked after. However that doesn't stop the fact that the fact that your one true love could be a 5 year old sheep herder in Nepal, did I mention that the Gods have a sense of humor as well.
