Absolutely it's possible. First, you have to find the right person. Is it possible that you rule people out because you are afraid of being hurt again? Are you comparing everyone to your ex? If there is any reason that even subconsciously you are not open to having a real relationship, you won't find it. Why do your relationships end? Are you getting dumped, and if so why? Is there something you're doing that is turning off your partners? Are you getting rid of them? If so, why? Valid reasons? Also, if you don't date often, it's going to be very difficult to find that right person for you. Where are you looking? One great way to meet people with similar interests is to join clubs, teams, classes that you are interested in (baseball, running club, dancing lessons, gourmet cooking class......) You'll have fun even if you don't meet someone!

I think it is possible, yes. The main thing is to release any emotional attachments you still may have to the person. I also think it is good to get rid of or put away pictures or things that have a lot of meaning from the past. Open your heart and try not to regret the past. New Year's Eve is a good time to write out what your wishes are. Then put it in an envelope, seal it and put it away ( I put mine in my Bible). I think it is a good way to help manifest what you want!

My outlook is "Expect nothing.. if you do get something, you will be pleasantly surprised". When you are looking for something, you seldom ever find it. When you are just kicking around aimlessly in a place, there is what you might have been desperately searching for months ago. Oh, sorry to sound negative but nothing is permanent in this world. I have a husband today, he could be dead tomorrow.

Judging from the number of people I know who have a successful 2nd "real relationship", it is quite possible. As for expecting it, you can only realistically expect things from yourself, not from others. I think in most cases it's harder to commit the 2nd time around - you already made a huge investment once, and that's probably true of people you've dated post-marriage as well. Remember that everyone has baggage, and sometimes that means that if you do or say anything reminiscent of the "failed" earlier relationship it sets off alarms. Maybe that isn't fair, but it happens. You may have done that yourself, I don't know. If the people you date see the whole person they can better understand your motivations, character and past life. Be honest about your fears in a relationship. People need a context; they need something to tell them what they can count on from you in different situations. And you need that too, from the other person.

Without knowing WHY your relationship ended or the dynamics in it, it is abit hard to be as precise as I would like to be here. I would say this generally, from the very tone and nature of your question: It is very possible to find other relationships and even LOVE again, once and when a person has dealt with (grieved, gotten angry, been sad and come to accept that life moves on) the loss of a relationship. Unless and until you do, you leave no room for new people to come into your life in a similar way or to the same degree. Nothing is permanent and nothing in life is going to last forever. We can have our health today and tomorrow be diagnosed with a terminal disease. We can have a wife or lover one day and the next day they can be gone due to death or something else that happens in life. When you have cleared the way for a new person who could be as important to you as the one you had in this last relationship, you will have room. You also might think if there was any abuse or negative stuff going on that ended the relationship (like an affair, substance abuse, etc) of getting some counseling, so you can get rid of all the garbage around any of those issues. That will make it alot easier for you to be open to making yourself available emotionally and otherwise. The only reason people cannot have relationships is if they set up barriers to them consciously or subconsciously. Also, coming from a "needy" place is never a good way to attract anything other than another needy person. So if you don't want a co-dependent relationship, and you want to have as good or better a relationship in the future, try to put the past in the past, clear out any leftover things that may be bothering you about the loss of the relationship (with or without professioanl help), and then make yourself available and open to a new relationship happening again! Don't seclude yourself and don't put your face on billboards. Just be yourself, do what you love to do, be around other people, set the "bar" at a reasonable height and you will find some new friends, and quite possibly a great relationship. Good luck. Anything is possible if you don't try to "make" it happen especially. Ever try holding a large inflatable ball under water? The harder you try the more difficlut it is to keep it submerged! If you throw out positive, attractive, loving energy, that is the kind of of people who you will attract. What you give out will come back to you in time. Be patient with yourself and with others. If it is meant to come to you, it will. In the mean time, YOU are enough. Know that and believe it.

I know, it is very difficult to find someone out there, once we are free and alone. Besides "Out there" is not what it is always cracked up to be. I think the "no expectation" rule applies here. Just date, enjoy, and dont expect to fall in love, (lust maybe)and be patient and eventually you will meet the right one, JUST when you least expect it.
