My biggest issue seems to be where I am. Anyone that has been interested in me (and I have an interest in) is several hundred miles away. While I know that LDR are possible, they are difficult. I'm willing to put in the time, effort, etc, but it has to be a two way street.

Secondly, is that many of the men that I thought I was initially interested in seem to enjoy smothering me. Attention is good, being up your butt constantly is not. Being active in your life is one thing, but wanting to know where you are every second of every minute of every hour is not healthy!

Eh, life is what it is. I'm open to it, but not willing to be the only one working for it.

warning: I was completely drunk when i started this thread.




This is how I look like right now:

Me too!

I lose interest quickly with people who don't stimulate me cognitively.

Yeah, me too. And on a site like this, I'm not going to go out with just anyone who asks. Dating for the hell of dating isn't all that exciting. There needs to be something there for me to be interested enough in going on a date.

Having to much fun to date right now...why would I wan't to blow tha out of the water?..

Yep, and a personal reason.

I date quite a bit, it's a great way to get to know someone and see if there is anything there. But, I also talk to random strangers and strike up conversations with almost anyone if I'm in the mood for it. As for the site, I'm here just for the forums having discovered the hard way that I'm not meant for LDR's...


You have to be willing to put yourself out there to meet people, and there is nothing wrong with being picky it helps narrow down the numbers

Internet dating can be scary. How do you know the person you're meeting is who he says he is. I've heard some horror stories, and thankfully I've only met a few harmless pervs. You know the type, all hands, learing eyes, 'wanna come see my bug collection' type guys.

I live in a town with 2 colleges and a dominant religion I'm not a part of...
single men my age that are not of this religion are rare indeed...

I'm just forging on with my buns of steel!

i knew a guy like that once, turned out i really dodged a bullet with that one; he has serious issues.

is there a hospital? some doctors are super cute

oh yeah, i figure i might as well answer the OP's question while I'm here- i no longer date because i don't want to go out with the type of man i have access to.

I have more issues than Playboy amd more baggage than LAX!

I still have hope and believe in romance and true love, though. I'm good enough for that "someone special" and good enough to make it without her.

What is stopping me from getting a date? The fact that men don't ask me out .....

I haven't been looking for one.

Washington, 85% Hispanic... Yakima?

Simply not interested in a serious LTR right now.

When I signed on this site, I knew I was ready to pursue finding the "one" but after starting to talk to a few on here I started seeing in myself reserve. I realized that I was not as ready as I thought I was. The past relationships had left an existing scar that was blocking me from opening up to the new contacts. It still seems to be in place and it is frustrating to deal with.

So I have accepted that when enough time has gone by and the right one appears, it will happen. If this scenerio doesn't happen then I am content with my life the way it is.

I believe that I will have to be friends with the person for a bit first before the romance will kick in. I continue to work on me becoming a better person that will be more mentally together and spiritually together. That way I will bring the best me to the table when the time is right.

I have this problem too.
