I just feel like i need someone to hold 

Yeah I feel the same way.  I just want a guy to take me in his arms and hold me.  It's funny - I have been to physical therapy, and happen to have just been coming to terms with this divorce idea when I broke down in tears.  My pt was rubbing my back and wiping my tears and it felt so good to have that "mans touch".  So then I started dreaming about him! I actually felt like I had a crush on my physical therapist!  Luckily it didn't last long but it's funny what those needed emotions do to you.  (I hope you laughed out loud!)
:-)   ;-)    = )     :-o     oh, btw, my pt is married....  :-(      LOL

I see it the same way Shanny, I didn't choose to be alone but here I am.  I feel like I would do anything to for a companion right now, anything but alone.  I also considered my stbx and quickly realized that if I tried to live with her again that I would never be able be happy knowing the kind of person she has become, not to mention loose any/all the dignity I had left following the events leading to our separation.  It's mainly the family unit, the companionship, and the sex that I miss.  I know now I would never date the kind of person she is, though I will admit she is beautiful but she can lie without a trace and manipulate men like puppets! (I still feel violated!)  The reality is, I'll just have to be more careful about anyone I may meet in the future. 

Quite a considerable thought Shanny.  We all should have "just a thoughts" like that...
