		<description>Deidre - my brother always told me once I stop looking I&#039;ll find it.  But I honestly don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything wrong with being proactive in looking for/starting relationships.  I just don&#039;t think people should be consumed by it or let other opportunities pass them by.

CMigs - Thanks.  :)  As for a horrendous work environment, that&#039;s definitely something that I don&#039;t think you need to wait to get out of before starting a relationship.    However, you do want to be careful not to let that negativity seep into your search for and budding relationships.    I mean, a truly awesome guy will be able to support you through that (and other) situations, but they shouldn&#039;t be a crutch at all nor should you just unload everything about your bad work environment onto them.  My bad place was my stepmom passing away.  I was in no shape to start a relationship at that point.  And I believe that was the right things for me to do.  However, I&#039;ve also dealt with a work environment.  I was on anti-anxiety and antidepressants along with seeing a psychiatrist because of my job.  Would I still date during that time? Yes.  But I left about 90-95% of my work baggage stored away when I was out.

And don&#039;t worry.  We&#039;ll work on that boldness. ;)</description>

		<description>I think this is some of the best advice, that when you&#039;re ready and open to new things it&#039;ll happen :) Great post!</description>

		<description>Yay! I like the advice. And, yes, I&#039;ll admit, that I am entertained by your exploits -- mostly because I have none at the moment and am not very bold. 

Here&#039;s a question: what if the bad place in your life is caused by a factor that is semi- out of your control, like a horrendous work environment that leaves you depleted on weekdays and weekends? Do you just wait to pursue the relaysh until you can find another job? I might have to wait like a decade for the R-ship to land if it is contingent on my finding another employment venue.</description>
