Wait until you meet the right person, the one who makes you realize that being alone isn't as freeing and satisfying as you once thought.

I never thought it was to begin with. I just did the right thing.

Well, maybe the right thing now is to ask yourself if there's anyone in your life you do want a relationship with.

That's the point, there isn't and I wouldn't even know how to go about meeting people.

A bar, a club, the park...library, music shop? Favorite cafe, a bakery...friends of friends? I think you can meet people just about anywhere.

It does take time, though, to make the sort of connection you seem to be looking for. Relationships don't transpire over night in my experience.

Friends of friends. *sighs* I lost contact with all my friends after...and then I moved. The only people I know don't want me in their lives now because I refuse to keep waiting for the end of the world.

I'm just tired of watching those around me find happiness and end up hiding away from everything because...just because.

Starting over can be challenging but it's also a chance to be who you want and to decide what type of people to surround yourself with.

Make the most of it.

I think you should find what makes you happy instead of looking for a person to give you happiness. You might end up meeting someone wonderful when you least expect it. I know I did.

I had things that made me happy. My music was the most important thing to me. I had to give up my band and everything when I was younger because of what happened.

I still have my music but I don't have anything else. Not any more. It's so hard to walk through the world and see all those things you were forced to give up.

I don't want to pry, so don't feel forced to answer, but what happened that made you think you have to give everything up?

Leaving things behind should be a choice, not something that's forced.

I was bitten by a werewolf when I was younger, and not the kind that changes at the full moon, the kind that can change when ever.

After mum realised what had happened she sent me away to friends of hers who were wolves too and they looked after me for the years it took to show me how to control what I was.

I...oh...well, that is to say...um...I can see how that might be trying.

Still, I think there are people who would be willing to accept you for who you are and overlook what you are. After all, you didn't choose this, it just is.

It just...happened.

Maybe I'm not so lucky then.

Is it going badly or not going at all?

It went badly, almost not at all. Now it's not at all.

That doesn't reflect on you. Before this, my last date was 1997, and I was prepared for it to be a damn sight longer.

I'm not even sure what to think about my last 'relationship' he couldn't feel any good emotions.

Some people don't. Or at least don't show them.

He couldn't, not don't. Have you ever loved someone who can't love?

I've never really romantically loved much of anybody, so no.

It's so very hard.

I would imagine. But if you don't believe in yourself, you're not going to get anyone else to believe in you.

I know.

Give it time. It'll happen.

It happens in strange places.

thanks.

Dating? What's that?

I'm sure you know what it is.

Mmmm. Nah. I'm all for skipping the expensive dinner and getting right down to knocking boots.

How very modern of you.

Not so much modern as expedient, really. Who's got time for dating?

*grins* Besides, I'm married. Dating don't go over so well then.

Dating.

You're kidding, right?

*smirks* Honey, I'm serious. I don't date. I fuck. Totally different thing. And the husband would get seriously bent at me if I started dating now.

But he wouldn't get upset with you sleeping around on him?

*laughs* Nah. He won't. He knows every time I do it, I know every time he does it.

First one to the bomb-proof shelter wins?

First one not to run screaming at the thought of dating a werewolf wins.

Werewolf? Very 80's. I like it.

Thanks. I'll tell the creature who bit me when I was a kid if I ever see it.

Or you could cut the chit chat and make with the silver bullet. Just a thought.

That's just a myth.

Then what does it take to kill a werewolf?

You think I'd tell you?

Well, why not? Do I look like the kinda guy who goes around hunting werewolves? *shakes head, wrinkling nose* No. I've got bigger fish to fry.

Still wouldn't tell you.
