Ok, take a step back from the big picture and try to think logically and see if you can list reasons why you are single.

here is me:

1. My job. First, i didn't work since last december, up until April. I was literally sitting home most of the time + add crap weather. Even when i started to work, it's with my friend, and we work on buildings, like summer houses where nobody is home, or some rich bstrd who couldn't care less, so my exposure is limited.

2. I live in the middle of nowhere. The closest thing that resembeled a female, was a deer and a racoon, I live at the end of a town , last street, but even going to the town, it sux, because same faces + tourists. I really need to get out of here.

3. Somehow my last relationship is still effecting me, no matter how hard I deny it...it still hurts from last October..I feel no love, nothing but sometimes that feelings comes when the wound still hurts for a few minutes then goes away. I think it still effecting my life somewhat.

those are the rational explanations I can come up with. So the solution is to move and get another job, but as you all know, that's easier said than done.


There are probably more reasons, psycological and then the fear of denial or fear of history repeating itself, but those are just extra, and cannot be fixed unless I find someone and can change, but the others above are more limiting factors.
So any of you can list what might be limiting you to find someone?

My main one used to be choice. I was just not ready to deal with being with anyone after the crap I had to deal with from my last ex g/f.

Now I am. I just haven't found anyone yet.

1. My job. I get off at 11 pm and work 4 on 2 off. Not many guys want to go out and do things on a wed night or whatever random day I have off. I get a weekend off every 6-7 weeks.

2. Im lazy and dont try...I expect an alien to knock on my door and ask me out.

3. I havent met anyone that I can completely trust in my area.

1. I spent several years living in a town where I was (reliably) informed, after I had been talked into moving there and signing a long-term lease, that the only ways to meet people there would be in a bar or in a church. As a non-drinking atheist, these were not viable options for me.

The town was small, insular, and extremely clannish. If your family hadn't lived there for 17 generations, and if you didn't own 65 farm animals, you were persona non exista, as far as they were concerned.

I got out of there at the first opportunity, and, unfortunately, it appears I have not done any better with this most recent move. I moved to a completely different state, hoping things would be different. But they're not. I don't know anyone here, and have found no way to try to get to know anyone.

2. I'm basically an introvert -- I don't go out much (partly because a car accident in February has left me with hampered mobility, partly because I just don't tend to want to be around people all that much regardless). I don't drink, so I don't go to bars, which, from what I'm told, are the standard venues for people who want to meet other people here. But I don't want to date anyone who drinks -- I've been through dozens of those situations already, and I won't do that again.

3. As a writer, it's easy for me to avoid having to deal with people.

4. There was a point where it occurred to me that it was possible that the only way I would be able to meet someone was on a dating site. Having dabbled with dating sites on and off for about ten years now, I can safely say that the kind of person I want to meet does not use dating sites.

5. People claim that I'm "intimidating" because I can write well. This puzzles me -- what's the practical benefit of being intimidated by words on a screen? Sometimes I wonder if they would prefer me to be totally illiterate, but I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that one.

6. My old, formerly reliable, method of meeting people -- through friends -- has completely dried up.

7. I am rarely attracted to anyone or interested in anyone -- the residue, I believe, of so many bad relationship experiences in my younger days.

1. Myself. I'm fully aware of the fact that I screw up the majority of my relationships, every now and then something beyond my control screws it up...yet to have success, have decided I will just stay out of that lose/lose situation for a good while.

some women think the grass is greener on the other side, if they would water their own grass it would get green, or maybe it was a poor choice on my behalf
