I realize I wrote this topic 3 days ago but a lot has changed since then and believe me if I could edit the above post or maybe even delete it then I would. I see no options for doing either though so this is the best I can do for now.

The "frustrating agony" I mentioned is completely gone now, hopefully forever. The part I wrote about "definitely wanting to get something started soon, the sooner the better" is also not how I am feeling any longer. The book I've just finished reading really helped me realize how important it is that the choices you make about things in life come from a healthy, balanced and centered place and that you not get lost in the pointless nonsense of whatever thoughts or feelings you might be having at the time. All things pass and I am glad to have somehow made it through those ones without doing something very stupid that I would only have regretted.

Anyway maybe it's pointless posting any kind of "update" on anything I wrote since this got no replies anyway, but since I can't delete or edit the OP I wanted this info to be here as well. Also anyone on here period who would even just be interested in "talking" feel free to reply here if you want, I've currently got my PM settings pretty strict so that whoever DOES message me does not live on the other side of the continent or w/e but could lift them temporarily if someone further away was interested in just talking as online friends.

Hello, just curious if there's any guys who currently live in Chilliwack who are at least somewhat attractive and who are between ages 28-49 who might be interested in talking & seeing where it goes? Feel free to check out my profile, if you don't feel "attracted" physically based on my pic, all I ask is that you be willing to give me a chance that I might be better looking in real life than in the pic (I think I am).

I am a very gentle, accepting woman who would love the chance to bring a higher level of happiness into a man's life and hopefully have the same done for me. I'm pretty practical and down to earth as I say in my profile, anyway thought I'd post this here to see if it helps improve things at all, didn't join very long ago but am definitely wanting to get something started soon, the sooner the better. Being alone is the most frustrating agony for me right now but there's no way I am willing to be used or treated like I'm not worth much so it is an extremely challenging situation for me to be in. Each person in this world is worthy and deserving of respect and loyalty if they are willing to give the same in return. If you can relate to this and think there's a chance we might click then please send me a message, thank you and good luck to everyone here I hope you find who you are looking for :)

Hey William just wanted to say sorry that is the case, I may be a woman but I know the pain of that as well so it isn't just guys that have that kind of problem. Also I just wanted to say I wish I lived a heck of a lot closer to you cos I would def. be willing to give you a chance. I can't imagine why women don't at least do that you seem like a nice guy.

It is a similar situation for me in terms of men not seeming to be interested in even just talking, it can definitely be quite depressing. Seems with online dating that a big part of it is pictures and if you don't photograph well (not saying you don't cos from what I can see you photograph great) then it is a lot harder esp. if you don't have the most bubbly, outgoing, etc kind of personality to make up for it.

Anyway maybe you would consider me "too old" (only 5 yrs older than you but I know a lot of guys prefer for a woman to be younger than them rather than older) and also we'd have to start out as friends to see how we even felt anyway lol.

Well I guess that is all but just wanted you to know you aren't alone and also that there are women who can relate to what you said as well. Wishing you the best of luck that things will change soon (wishing that for both of us actually lol) ;)
