As I was walking down the main drag in Cozumel...dodging ultra slow moving cruise ship people, my mind rambles on about another trip here alone...and wondering how much better it would be with someone I love. Then the realization that it may never happen and the basic thought of just giving up on finding the one thing that has eluded me for so long.

Oh well, such is life. And the painted tile guy is not around. Hopefully he will be here later. I have been buying those tiles for some time now and may eventually use them in a bathroom.

Hopefully Baskin Robins is open today. The one at Punta Langosta was closed Sunday so I had to endure a day without vanilla ice cream. Ideally I partake of ice cream while watching the sunset but clouds sometimes spoil the view.

Can't guarantee that you'll find love or anything BUT a good time (and that I can guarantee!!!) on a SingleDivers.com trip but if I were looking to meet great people that might spark a romantic interest...I'd start with a LARGE group of SINGLE fun loving scubadivers and go from there!!

Guess you need to dive with us if you don't totally want to give up on your dream of diving in Cozy with someone special!

And all I can say is...if you can't fine ONE special person....just dive with a group like us and you'll find 15-30 special people!!! Or at least new friends and THAT makes them special to me!!!

Although many people don't know this...we have a number of fun trip connections on our first singles trip and even had a few cupid connections that continued well past the trip. In fact....one of those connections just took a romantic trip to Cozy last week together after seeing each other every weekend since our Jan trip. And yes...they have been FLYING to see each other every weekend!!!

So CP...you being a pilot and all...what are you waiting for???? You need to go and dive with us!!!

oh....why didn't i know about sd.com in january so that way i could be in on all the cozy secrets!!!!!! don't stress, CP! you find her or you don't, either way you've got a bunch of people to have fun with where you don't have to worry if you've got spinach in your teeth or not.

I often find when I am travelling alone I get into these funky moods too- my last trip to Belize everyone one on the boat was married or had an SO . I really feel like a freak being single sometimes. I think these group trips are a great idea- thinking I'll try for North Carolina later this summer. When you get back from Coz you should send me an email- we could swap dive stories. I live here in Denver and welcome new friends and possible dive buddies. What shop do you work with here? Stay happy- you're diving!!!

As soon as you give up, that's when you find someone. At least that is what I've been told.
Besides you're diving in Cozumel we can't feel too sorry for you.

I can relate, I feel the same way

[DiveScoop]

I can relate with you ladies about traveling and diving alone. Let's hope that we all hit the lottery or at least find some time off in order to join some of Kamala's upcoming trips!

Bonaire's going to be a lot of fun. Be sure to watch the board because we're planning to post pictures during the trip so that you all can be real envious

Never give up... just hope it happens before your teeth fall out and your hair does too!

Been there...done that...got the t-shirt...threw it out! Ain't doing it anymore! Now that we've formed SD.com...I know I won't have time for those funky moments anymore! Anyone up for creating some really FUN moments???

I really feel like a freak being  single sometimes.  I think these group trips are a great idea- 

Hey...we have all been there...but again not anymore. No one felt that way in January...and I know they won't feel that way in Bonaire or NC either!

...thinking I'll try for North Carolina later this summer.

Girl you'll love it. Hey normally we run about half women on our singles trips but usually the NC trips are about 1 gal to every 6 guys...I REALLY need to bring those odds down just a little bit...do you know how tiring it is to keep up with 6 guys each??? LOL!!! Just kidding...I find it takes at least 6 guys to keep up with one of us!!!! Gotta love the odds in NC and the oh yes...the diving is AWESOME!!!

[nycamico]

ok, ok i'm convinced- i'll be in north carolina with bells on ( or at least neoprene and lycra-ooh la la!)

Too awesome!!! So any chance you can do the 4th of July trip or only the Aug trips???

I have a trip to Grand Cayman over Thanksgiving Week that I know will be that way for me. I mean the couples are even bringing their children!

The only thing that I know (I did the staring at the moonlight thing ALONE in Providenciales last year.) is that I plan to take full advantage of the complimentary diving. Can anyone say a whole bunch of night dives?

Next year, I will be doing at least one trip through here where I know that it won't happen.

LOL... sadly I agree CP,

pretty much given up... so gun shy now that someone would have come up and hit me in the face to show there was an interest. So pretty much bury "Self" into photos, diving, computers outdoor stuff... there was another thread on when was the last date?? Geeeshhh.. I'd be embarrassed to say when, EVEN if I could remember it... and we're talking years.. it's become more like an interview process of questions and answers on "How was your parents relationship..." Although it might be some indication, I could, if I felt the urge to discuss it with the interviewee, suggest that if it was bad, then it would be good as I'd know what was wrong and correct it.. if good then wouldn't know bad... so either way??
Just a WAG

Anyway, in the words of Woody Allen,
"I wouldn't go out with anyone that wanted to date me..." or something like that..

Sigh... looks like that part of life is pretty much over...

I'm not looking for love! I would much prefer to have GREAT friends that I can hang out with, go diving with and confide in. Both male and female friends. They'll probably be around longer than any guy anyway and I don't have to go through heartache etc. of a breakup.
