	ercllkk	It sounds like you've really emerged into your own skin, Aria. Everyone wants to be with someone, but being comfortable all by yourself takes real strength. Be glad that you can still be comfortable, but don't give up - you'll find someone for sure. We all will eventually. =)   Posted by ercllkk on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 2:17 PM [Reply to this]

	Brett	Good for you, Aria! You should be doing the things in life that YOU want to do - and when you find a partner, he will be a person who wants to do those things with you, and when he wants to do things, you will want to do them with him. That's the place where happiness starts for a couple.   Posted by Brett on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 2:23 PM [Reply to this]

	Raf	Good for you kid! Too bad there aren't any more people out there with that view - there's be less misery in the world... Like they say - "Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching..." Enjoy your trips around the world and the individuals you meet there on your journey's...It's better to be alone than lonely I always say. You can still be lonely when your with someone you think you love. Sucks, huh?! You're all right. Just when you think it's ok to peruse the female incontinence section of the local CVS - you'll bump into your Mr. Right... Then again - a guy in that section of the store would probably be a creep...   Posted by Raf on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 2:41 PM [Reply to this]

	♥Mrs. Hlavaty♥ Cristi Hlavaty	Hi Aria, It has been forever since I last saw you, I have missed you! I think it is a wonderful, magical journey that you are experiencing. It does take strength to be alone and you are growing into your own person. When the right person comes along and you get that feeling right from the center of your gut, you will know. Take care and love ya bunches! ~Cristi   Posted by ♥Mrs. Hlavaty♥ on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 3:39 PM [Reply to this]

	drd952	Great attitude. I am very happy that you have finally accepted life for what it is, unpredictable. Do what makes you happy, you have the time and the financial means to do so. If someone comes along that makes you want to change your life<myspace>style</myspace>, then that is great too. But you should never change for someone beacuse you feel you should. True happiness occurs when you make big changes because you really want to. Enjoy your life, and you will not look to the past with regret. Compromise and that lingering doubt of your choices will cast a shadow on the rst of your days. Now, get yourself to Ireland and sit back with a pint and enjoy!   Posted by drd952 on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 3:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Kevin Kevin Sambrookes	You're a scorpio, that explains it! So is my wife, I've seen it firsthand ;) You'll find someone. You're a gem. Keep doing what you want and having fun, but keep paying attention to the lowkey signals that could reveal an unlikely match.   Posted by Kevin on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 3:56 PM [Reply to this]

	Tim	I guess I need to come to the same point myself. I need to find a reason to get up in the morning that does not include wife and kids before I can be a whole person with new wife and kids. In that respect, I can envy you in your realizations. Take care, Aria. I wish you every success. Tim   Posted by Tim on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 4:12 PM [Reply to this]

	Igor	not quite.. the way i look at it.. the more "out there" you are, the more likely it is, to find someone with whom you share interests and speaks to you on that special level, there is a catch though.. you must not be deliberately searching for the special one :P and yes, life IS to short to put limitations on yourself. if you have the oportunity to go and experience somehting, you should bloody get off your ass and do it! if you dont, you'll always have regrets and instead of fond memories, you'll only have the 'oh, i could've done that when i was younger' thoughts. the only thing you should do is, be loyal to those that mean a lot to you, pick your friends and make the most out of your life. have fun in your travels :)   Posted by Igor on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 4:43 PM [Reply to this]

	Wabbit Twacks	Until you can accept youre aloneness you'll never be truly happy in a relationship.. it will be a bargaining.. this for that.. some compromise a part of themselves to avoid being alone, and thats what may cause the fights, because the spirit does not compromise itself easily.   Posted by Wabbit Twacks on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 4:50 PM [Reply to this]

	thebigjc	Good for you. It's not easy being single for a long stretch, but it has its upside. Having the flexibility to do whatever you want and taking the time to "find yourself" are things a lot of people never get to do. Those experiences will help you find the right person for you, because you'll really know who you are and what you want. Best of luck in your endeavours.   Posted by thebigjc on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 4:51 PM [Reply to this]

	Eric Tobias Eric Tobias	Yeah,I believe in not forcing myself to find someone...just let it happen when it happens which can sometimes seem like an eternity and can be a bummer when you think "Am I ever gonna find my soulmate".Even though,I'm soo hot and sexy(HA-HA!!),I still haven't found her.But,seriously,I understand where your coming from for I battle the same things you speak about.....it's because we haven't met yet(wait,Am I dreaming out loud)....nonetheless yeah,being single has it awesome points and then it's depressing points.I guess it's just the balance of things.

	steele	darlin just take it one day at a time we all been through it good relationships and bad, but now is the the time to really expand your horizons, besides being one beautiful woman you are a very intelligent, and vibrant person, so don't think of being alone as something negative, but as something positive, in due time all the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place, just for some it comes sooner, this is just one of those bumps in the road, old people used to say( what does'nt kill us make us stronger) and from where i'm standing you are a strong person just tap into that strengh every now and then, and you'll do just fine.   Posted by steele on Sunday, June 01, 2008 - 12:22 AM [Reply to this]

		Sure we can grow tired of being single and we will always have the option to settle for what we believe can one day make us happy. Sometimes the risk of holding out is worth the reward but if you never try then you'll never know. Enjoy the process of self growth for one day it will get you to where you've always wanted to be. On a side note..I love your taste in music! You always have great songs on your profile.   Posted by on Sunday, June 01, 2008 - 2:36 AM [Reply to this]

	Enrique Enrique Murrieta	I havent been in a relationship in almost 6 years and yeah it does suck at times but then again I do what ever I want, when ever I want,and how ever I want.If you find someone just make sure this person has there own life so they dont need to be around you all the time.Thats why couples fight so much cuz its easy to hurt the ones closes to you. Just make sure the next man you find can handle the truth cuz after not being in a relationship for so long I've learned to just say whats on my mind. Besides you dont want to be that lady that has the wondering eyes wishing she didnt just settle with the man shes with.Im tired of getting hit on by those women.lol p.s You can always have booty calls till you find someone!   Posted by Enrique on Sunday, June 01, 2008 - 11:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Aria Giovanni Index	Finding a good partner is one of the hardest things in life. You have to be lucky. I`ve been with my partner for 13 years and I know that if we would ever break up, I will never be able to find someone again with who I can be myself, share the love and friendship like I can now. You need to grow into eachothers heads, give and take, make choices, and be clear about your goals in life. I`m sure you will find someone, for many men including me you are a ultimate dream, and I don`t mean your looks only. Your adorable. Goodluck!   Posted by Aria Giovanni Index on Monday, June 02, 2008 - 12:05 PM [Reply to this]

	David	Hi Aria, life is not short it's strange. One day you are happy and talking with your best friend. The next day your friend is gone forever in a car accident :( Things happen in life very fast and you can't know wich way takes tour life so the best thing to do is tring to be happy!!! Yes being single sucks but being unhappy sucks more!!! So is better to be a single happy that have an average relationship with someone that you really don't love. We don't have to look around for love. I'm single with a wonderfull family and a lot of friends and i'm really happy. So i wish you to be happy and if one day you'll meet the true love good for you.   Posted by David on Monday, June 02, 2008 - 2:24 PM [Reply to this]

	Eternal Day	Well I imagine it's even more difficult finding someone that's not going to see you as "Aria Giovanni" and that will just see you as the soul within. In other words, being such a high profile model, most of the men you meet will see you and interact with you as such. You'd have to find someone outside of that life<myspace>style</myspace>, but at the same time who would be comfortable and accepting of your career. That's going to be a tricky find! The ironic thing is that you have THOUSANDS of admirers, some of which might actually be compatible, loving and kind persons, but it would be impossible to date a fan, because it would be impossible to weed out who was genuine and who was just a creepy, nut job. In that sense you're almost in the position of like a movie star or famous musician. You can't just date and mingle with normal folk. You have to chose from the crowd and life<myspace>style</myspace> that you're in and that can make things even more limited and complicated. I don't know, kid. You're in a real tough dynamic there. Maybe it is just best what you've done, i.e. - accept and embrace your single-ness. Anyway, we usually find the perfect someone when we're not even looking (that's how I found my wife...or I should say how my wife found me).   Posted by Eternal Day on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 11:52 AM [Reply to this]

	E.A.	So what is the type of guy that you been interested in dating? Someone who's into the whole party scene? Someone religious? Someone who a crazy-wild rocker? Or someone who just turned 18 or 50? And how can a guy get your attention? Where can they get your attention? Who is Aria's man of her dreams??   Posted by E.A. on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 8:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Hard Blonde Zeke Dickens	Bernie and Levi Dexter are the perfect couple, she started as a Betty Page lookalike but has evolved into a clothing and lingerie model where her husband takes most of her photographs. Levi was a Teddyboy back in the 70's in the U.K. and had his own band called Levi and the Rockcats. So if you want to feel even worse than you already do you should check out Bernie's Myspace @ http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=249256.   Posted by Hard Blonde on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 9:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Cross	You know what? You're right! You should live life anyway you want. Without somebody telling you what to do with it. Hey, it's your life. Do what you will with it. Life is just WAY too short to worry about anything. I do the same thing all time. If I feel like going to the movie theater, playing video games, or just hanging out at the book store all day; who has the right to say what I'm doing is "a waste of time". It's my life and I'll do whatever I want, thank you very much. And you should too. Don't let anybody tell you different. (thumps up)   Posted by Cross on Saturday, June 07, 2008 - 7:58 AM [Reply to this]

	David	One thing I've noticed Miss Giovanni during the past five years that I've been single is that many people, both male & female, are with someone just to be with someone. Regardless of that person's looks or character or anything else about them. They simply have to be with someone. I've heard people like that called "needy" and "desperate". They define who they are by whether or not they're with someone and I'm glad that you're not one of those people. I know I don't have the greatest self confidence when it comes to my attracting the opposite sex. My friends have said it's low self esteem. They're probably right too. I usually go on my gut instinct whether a girl will like me and it always says no. So, I don't even try. The one thing you have on your side is time. You're still young at 30. If anyone asks why you don't have anyone in your life now, use my response "Because I'm not desperate". Believe me, someone as beautiful as you will find someone.   Posted by David on Saturday, June 07, 2008 - 12:43 PM [Reply to this]
