Oh but I'm not tired of trying to build a relationship, I'm tired of starting over!!

Right now I'm just being careful. I get attached very easily. If someone tells me that they are interested, I'm going to want to take it further and start developing a fondness for her.



In the meantime, let go quickly and just enjoy getting to know people.



Well that's kind of hard. I don't like people who do this and surely don't want to practice the same in my own life. I'm really getting sick of introducing myself over and over again.

Blame it on living in a small isolated town for the first 19 years of my life. A place where everything always stayed the same, people didn't move in and out, you kept your friends forever and were loyal to them and didn't take yourself away from them by going and making more new friends. In the rare event that someone new did move into town (maybe happened a few times a year), they were met with much scrutiny and territorial hostility.

I used to think that was how it was everywhere. Now that I've moved away, I've found the exact opposite slaphead lol!! But still can't help feeling that a person who lets go quickly and continuously makes the effort to meet new people is someone to be looked down upon.

I would like to change my attitude but it doesn't seem to be budging frustrated

Thank you all for responding :thumbsup: and yes, my instincts are probably right.


In letting go quickly...I wasn't saying to love them & leave while continuously searching for something better!

I meant those that do not have genuine intentions of becoming part of your life! The ones that say they are interested, but really are not...let them go quickly and focus on finding someone that is gonna offer you what you need!!! Save the powerful emotions for someone really interested in giving love a try with you & don't waste them and become bitter due to the flakes.

I also grew up in a small town too where people keep friends forever and moved to a college town and found it hard to find those kind of people. Everyone seems so fickle & moreso with people online!

I'm not really interested in manipulation by playing the waiting game to make someone miss me anymore. But this does keep on happening so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. How can I get someone to think of me without it being a game?


((HUGS Scorpio))

'tis difficult! Dating is essentially one big game & not a fun one IMO! I avoid it & just carry on being my happy little self. One day my world will collide with someone I feel I can't resist taking a chance with...LOL! You have to wade through the sea of flakes & drama queens to find someone worth your time...be patient! When the interest is real she won't quit thinking of you love

In the meantime, let go quickly and just enjoy getting to know people.


What a lovely thing to say! ^_^

All very true, me and you think alike. You seem so far on top of things fireflysgirl. I'd date a confident Lady like you anyday. It's good to know there are people like you in the world happy


haha...I am so wise until it comes to my own life laugh At least this round I am happy to start over, enjoy the lifestyle I have been working towards for the last decade, and find a deep love/trust/balance within myself!

Thanks MrBiscuit flowerforyou you are a sweetheart!
