lonely and depressed...

[tld221]

i suppose ill throw my "woe is me, im single" post:

ive been single for... a few years, i guess 6 years now? the last real relationship i had was short and sweet. ive been on a couple dates over the years since then, but they were all lame ducks--dudes who wanted to do the friends thing, dudes who liked dudes, dudes who had girls already, etc.

i've done the "im single and loving it" thing. and the "im single and hating it" thing. and then the "im gonna dress really provocatively and see who will take me home" thing. and then the "im gonna be a total spinster and see who will ask for my number. the "ill be a woman of the new generation and ask HIM out" thing wasnt so empowering.

so now im doing the "welp im almost 25 and ive never felt this much pressure to be in a relationship" thing. of all my friends, one recently got married, another engaged, and the rest are either in committed relationships (im the oldest of 4 and all my siblings are in relationships!) or desperately single like myself.

so now... im just doing me. which is what i shouldve done all along. but dammit, man company is nice you know!

You haven't done the personal ads or internet dating, yet... Be creative and safe when you do that, though... Some ppl are psycho out there. If you meet someone in your city, let GC know what it was like...

bwhahaha, i never went back to edit my post.

ive also done/doing the "hey, maybe 'the one' is on Myspace/Match/Eharmony/Yahoo Personals so ill spend money and sad nights on there."

man i wish i could get that money back. the same people out there are on the internet.

i actually did meet someone on the internet but it was long ago, back when internet hooking up was still new and kinda freaky. being 16 doesnt help that, but the situation was awful, just awful. not that i wouldnt do it again, but im a lot more apprehensive about it.

but i havent done the "get a BOB and call it a night, a good night at that" thing.

in a while, sigh.

Whut's wrong with a BOB? If you need him, then use him... Nuthin's wrong with that till you find a physical man to satisfy your need. Besides, the gentlemen that DESERVES your presence, is being prepared for you...

Welp, what obstacle(s) do you think you have to overcome to get that "special gentleman"?

To tld221. I posted the borders thing to get a reaction from CG. The barnes and noble CG, not the Captain Kirk CG. We've had this borders and barnes and noble rivalry going on for a while now.

Anyway, if you go to church you might want to try one of the singles retreats. A lot of churches have them. Of course not to meet a man, but to learn and be around single good people. I agree with AKA_Monet. You never know where you'll meet a joker.

What's a woman with a great sense of humor like you doing single?

You really should try Borders. There are a lot of one woman men there. The kind where getting to know the woman is 1st, starting a serious monogomous relationship 2nd, and the sex is....well...soon after?
