*bump* I started to start a thread titled "This is where we b$%^& about being single" but this seemed appropriate.
This is my sentiment and I thought I'm schpiel about it. I'm almost 23 and NOT in the market to be married. I don't even really want a serious relationship--it would only complicate my life right now. I decided I'm not looking for ANYBODY until I get my Master's because there's no way I'd want to stay in this area. As soon as graduation hits, I'm moving (if I had my preference) so there's no point in getting into anything long-term, I've already gotten through my first year. But I would like to date around in the meantime. At least go out with a guy every now and again for fun. However, I've always been the one to do the asking. I've always been the one to say "I like you" first. I want to know what it's like when the guy you like wants you to like him,
wants you to go out with him. I don't get that. I'm not looking for a proposal (I've had that once, it really sucked) I just want to find a good man and have him tell me he likes me and wants to spend time with me. Too much to ask?
Seriously, I've given up on dates. I went out with I guy I've been crushing on for 6 months and told my friend "That wasn't a date; that was a go-see."
I just wanted to know if we were compatible and that kind of thing is strictly a go-see in my book (takes the pressure off). He turned out to be a total wuss. We went to a theme park and when I refused to get on his favorite ride (one that scares the CRAP out of me) he sulked about it for 12 HOURS. I'm a little sorry I asked him, but at least now I know. I'd like to do more of that but all the guys in grad school seem to be married, engaged, or serious. Plus, there are only about 5 of them in my program and that DOES NOT HELP.
