You have not lost your hopes and dreams, what you are looking forward to in life, what you are working towards, what you want in a woman?

These are all things you can include in your profile.

hmmm.... well im not sure what i can putin there. i can only play piano by ear lol its impressive but not for long. as for what i like to do... i dont do anything anymore. i broke my hip awhile back and lost everything i worked so hard for. including friends and my place to live.




Then you might say that you broke your hip and you're getting back into the swing of things again. Then tell the things that you would like to do when you do date. Just some ideas.

dating is not complicated - it's actually fun

what complicates things is the expectations people have.

Dateing is fun.............

DeadEnd - what is it that you are looking for? Are you looking to find friends? that one special true love? What are you doing to attain it?

I can relate, everyone wants to live in dog years, ad rush into a commitment, and huge controlling relationship... I just wanna have fun.


It CAN be boring.

straight man dating will always be hard as there are women involved... and thy are really complicated.
you do whine abit in your profile, the thing is women like confidence... you display none of that, until you do, you cant win, forget everything else, work on your confidence

But really, you're doing it wrong...or they are doing it wrong. Trial and error, learning is easier that way...well, unless you're trying to dodge bullets...

i know i lack confidence but my past has been full of only dissapointment. i havent really had anything to help me build confidence. and the more i get rejected and ignored the worse off it gets lol.

im trying to get better though. and i think its a start. i just need help with it.

I truly believe your own expectations and what you think you are entitled to are getting in the way. Friends are everywhere, start by saying hello to those you pass on the street, in a store, in a forum.

But you must let go all those 'woe is me' phrases, like you tried looking for friends but didn't succeed. Doesn't say much for you, and gives the impression that you give up easily.

You'd be happier with someone real to talk to, if you were to meet you, at this stage in your life, would you befriend you???

good luck

ok you make very good points there. however most people will say things like "im outgoing and energetic"
im not outgoing. i would rather not say something than say something and have a bad response come back. as for energetic lol not really i have a short attention span

im sorry guys.. lol its so bad i am having trouble giving any response that doesnt sound pathetic lol
