We talked a little about what had happened previously relationship-wise with you last night. And I already know you don't need what he put you through.

Are there places that you frequent when you are able to get out? I know having no car can be tough. And interest groups do cost money, but sometimes you can find them for free if you are lucky. If I knew the area you lived in, I'd help you look, honestly.

At the places that you do frequent, when you just talk to someone that you know or possibly don't know, who knows? You may get lucky. I've had that happen to me a couple of times just coming up to talk to friends who were talking to others, etc.

I hope you find something soon! But remember that fulfillment is in one's self. I know that can be hard considering things that have happened, but make yourself happy first and foremost. Never settle for less!
 
I dismiss dating sites becuase I have used them before with no luck. Every date I've gone on from a dating site has been an utter disaster.

As far as places I frequent, they're really very limited. I go to the store and sometimes I make it to the library. The rest of the time, I'm at home out in the middle of nowhere. Maybe if I can get this job I'm in the running for I'll meet more people. I haven't given up completely, but honestly, I'm getting close.
 
Meh, I've been single all throughout highschool for the most part and I'm pretty content. Even though having a girlfriend would be awesome, I'm not too worried about it.

I've had plenty of dates, I've been dating almost every week for a while now, but I'm picky and really don't know how to "take it to the next level," so to speak, or in other words, I suck at "commitment". But getting that date is as easy as small talk and asking for their number, just can't be afraid of rejection or let it get to you if you do get rejected. I know it might be a bit cliche to say that, but it really is the truth and I just learnt it recently. :indiff:
 
High school dating is so far removed from dating outside of high school or even outside of college. I mean, you're around girls all day 5 days a week and often times, you're around them longer because of after school activities. I mean, if I was back in high school, I wouldn't have a problem. The whole walking up to a stranger and giving them your number thing doesn't typically work. Nor does just asking for a date.

If only it were as easy as in high school. *sigh*
 
I think you do need some reflection on what you need. You are a good person and you deserve a good relationship with someone that treats you the way you should. But focus more on what your immediate needs are and the other parts of your wishlist will fall in to place. If you focus on a job, you might find not only a job you like, but the man of your future may be there as a co-worker. Or go hang out with friends, not to meet guys, but be open to the next guy that seems to have the slightest bit of decency. Don't get turned off by awkwardness or shyness from a guy. Some of the nicest guys are the ones that don't have all the right things to say.

The point is, if you go out to look for a guy, you may be too focused on finding somethign specific like you might when shopping for clothes. You might miss someone that fits you perfectly if you look too hard for "the right guy". Just let it happen!
 
Wow, two pages and noone here has hit on you yet. I'm disappointed.

Bars can be a good place to find people. It's easy as hell to spot the horny ones that are looking for a lay, and just because you like a guy there doesn't mean you need to put out right away.

Maybe just fool around a little...;)
 
Been single for around five years now and currently thinking on whether or not I should get a cat.

A big fat orange one.

Maybe you should too. :D
 
Haha. I'm allergic to cats. There's a thread all about it in the Dearly Insignifigant. But then again, maybe a little Yorkie dog is just what I need. :tongue:
 
My cat is surprisingly responsive to conversation at times. He thinks he can talk. He figures out how to make himself heard. That's communication in my book. :)
 
yep.. my cat talks! she is ALWAYS talking about something.. i just don't know what it is! just like the girlfriend!:tongue:
