I consider myself in purgatory at the moment. Lost and alone, seeking many things and only finding the day to day monotony of life as an 18 almost 19 year old still in high school. I feel that my romantic record is mediocre in the face of my friends who spout the same line over and over: "we need to get you a man"

Wishful thinking on their part, and mine. I attribute this rut to my lack of social graces, my shy demeanor and my offish attitude. I have tried seeking in my peer group only to find that I was alone in my quest. I don't like dating sites, they have failed me time and time again, however; I feel that I should give it one last shot.

It is unfortunate that I am who I am, because I cannot be what other's expect.

I'm looking for someone around my own age, perhaps a little older, who will appreciate my uniqueness for what it is. Also I'm looking for someone local that I can see more than on the weekends. I tried that sort of relationship once, it ended in disaster.


I'm hoping someone will come and save me from this funk,
