Hey my friend, it worked for me! Met her right here on this very site, fell madly in love with her, (Actually "insanely" in love with her: I relocated to Minnesota in the dead of winter!) and we've physically been together for 6 months now!
I never believed it either until it actually happened to me. And we are now both happier than we've ever been in our lives!
What I'm trying to tell you is, don't get dicouraged! You're only 19? Get out and live a little my friend! Just stop looking! When you stop looking, that's when they come to you!
Me? I just happened on this site totally by mistake! Stranger things have happened!

Another thing! (No offense intended!) Change your Intro pic! It looks like your wearing a pirate/superhero/fastfood worker costume! Just a little constructive critizism.

Just be patient! Everything will fall ito place for you someday. Just don't rush it!

To you, I'm just an "old guy", but why do you think I know these things?

Experience!

And I'm not trying to rush into a relationship queene. I understand that I need to take it slow and all. But my trouble is finding women that are even looking to possibly pursue a relationship. I used to be able to sleep with anyone I wanted to. And I did. I slept with a different girl just about every other week all of last summer. I can't say I'm exactly proud of it, and I know I have nothing, I've been checked. But I know I'm attractive. So, that kills that. So, somewhere in actually talking to women, I manage to completely screw everything up. I can be going great, and all of a sudden, the girl just drops off the face of the earth, no more contact, no eplanation, no "I'm not interested", I don't even get bull**** excuses anymore. And it sucks.

Sleep didn't happen tonight. I'm too pumped. I met a cool girl, but it wasn't on a dating website. You know what it was? Good ol' fashioned confidence from talking with a lot of girls, and seeing what works, ON a dating site. Take every opportunity you can, if you want the real thing. Takes work, but you gotta start somewhere drinker

Oh yea! Meant to add this too! You can find a cheap photog somewhere in Vegas! In the career you are aspiring for, YOU NEED headshots!

I used to be a model myself!

It's technically a "costume". It was an outfit from work actually. I worked at Disney World in Orlando. That jacket wasn't part of me costume, it was a friends. But that was just me and friends being silly and having funa t work in the break room. And trust me Action. I don't find you to be "just an old guy". I actually get along better with older people. They are more mature. I like maturity. I enjoy intelligent, philosophical conversations. I like that.r

Vegas is definitely not for under 21. I can't really go anywhere here. There are a few places to hang out, even a pool hall that is 18+ 24/7. I love it! I love to shoot pool! But I can't really go out places to meet people where they actually hang out. See my predicament?

Ohhh I hear Sweet_Vegas_Guy louder than he thinks I do the same things he said from age 15 and up hey I was right there except mine was a step-mom instead of the dad.

So feel sorry for him no I just understand where he is coming from.

But see my hardship started long before 15 for at 15 months old my Mom passed away so yeah my first step-mom was no Mrs Clever believe me well you might be able to call her that or my brother might call her Mrs Clever for he was the one that saw the knife less than 10 inches from his head stuck in the wall next to were his head was laugh laugh laugh


But regardless of ones childhood it is up to each of us to make things change as we grow older. We can either let the past eat us alive or we can better ourselves.

Normaly when one rushes into a relationship things go so fast that the real time is not taken to get to kmow the real person within.

One must deal with there past issues in order to make a better future.bigsmile flowerforyou

I can't change the fact that I matured quickly. My past is just that. My past. I don't let it affect me now. But it did change me when it occured, I had to step up to the plate, and I had to deal with things that most teens don't have to deal with. But I also wnt through high school as the "date doctor" kinda guy. I was the guy that everyone came to with their problems for relationships. I swear I could have charged and they would have paid. But I can't help myself at all. So I saw all these relationships go on in high school that I helped with...... yet I got nothing. Ya feel me?

OMG I hate it. But for those of you who have seen the movie Hitch...... that's me! I'm the same way. I screw everything up myself, which is kinda odd, because I'm a great dood! I'm funny, I'm charming, I'm sweet, I'm caring. I use my own pickup lines, and always make them up on the spot, pulling from the situation. I've been told that I'm the guy that every woman wnats, and no woman has. I've been told this..... I do not back this statement, as obviously somethingswrong with it, and I need to work out the kinks. But........ it kinda sucks to see all these perfect relationships that you have created but have nothing for yourself.

Forget it!

Well as far as your past and growing up fast you cna see that as either you lost out on some of your childhood or you can see that it made you a much stronger person within.

My self I chose to see that it actually gave me an insight to life. I see things differnt because of it all.

But you just need to step back a moment Patience is the key.

You say you need the headshots done and your unemployed those are the 2 things you should focus on first and foremost. For sad to say most if you say your unemployed the are gonna think ohhh I see one of those and yeah turn and walk away. Get out do some talking find out who and how much those photos will cost you. For you never know who you could talk to at the right time and might end up with a break. But like I said don't go after love like a bull in a china closet all that does is puts a distance between you and the person your talking to.bigsmile
