B/c it's my nature to please people and be kind, and it's hard for me to say "no", and that's a bad thing when you're around a manipulator or selfish person, b/c then there's no give and take and it's only me giving and not receiving anything back. I don't like to constantly be on my guard around someone; I would rather be relaxed and able to be myself with someone who I can trust not to take advantage. And for me there has to be more than just sex. Hell, anybody can get sex. But for me, there has to be more. I've been in some abusive relationships--some absolutely hellish--and am averse to it happening again. So until then, I'm single and *very* happy about it.

Lots of reasons. New job, new town. But I just don't have the desire to be with somebody right now. I would love a few good friends, but I don't make friends with girls very easy, and trying to have a boy as a friend usually leads to too many problems.......

Because this didn't work to get her back.

I started going out w/ her for all the superficial reasons that lame guys go for any good looking girl. Then I kinda fell in love w/ her but hated how fvcking uninteresting she was, she was only concerned w/ superficial GARBAGE, so I broke up w/ her (after 1.5 good years). As unfathomable as the ocean is, is how fathomable her depths were (read; surface) .. if that makes sense. Everything was TV to her. Now I'm a lonely slutbag that is looking for a girl w/ a heart of gold.

PS. Any takers on that ring? I accept paypal.


Oh yeah .. for all the ppl that say things like "no time" .. I call bullsh!t on that. People are meant to be together, no matter how busy you are, there is always time to at least sleep in the same goddamn bed as someone. I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned or some stupid sh!t.

My saying I don't have time is NOT bullshit. It would be different if I said I didn't have time and never tried. This isn't about me, I'm really crazy about this girl and I feel she deserves a guy that maybe be around a bit more then I can. True, it's not that I couldn't sleep there or whatnot, but she deserves more then that.

Deserves more than what?

Don't get me wrong, me calling bullsh!t isn't meant to upset or insult anyone. I just think that people got the wrong idea of a relationship .. probably because of stupid TV. Being in a relationship doesn't mean .... going out to clubs/bars all the time, dinner, movies etc etc etc (which is okay to do though)
Two people that love each other can have fun doing their homework together. Enjoying someone's company is just that, enjoying their company, no words need be spoken. Just be near each other and feel love. Goddamit now I'm gonna cry.

And to further my point..

If you love each other, that is first. Everything else comes second. Somehow we've internalized it in our culture that other things come first, like superficial sh!t like "we're not into the same thing" .. or whatever.. man, that only makes things more interesting. Well, nevermind me, I could have made it work, that girl was crazy about me and I shafted her, so don't listen to me. The only thing I care for and want out of a girl is that kind of love. I don't care if she likes computers, if she likes punk rock or reggae music .. if she's interested in art, science or nature .. just that love, that's it. I can make the rest of it work. Two people don't have to have the same interests and all that, what do you want? You want to love someone that is a female version of you?
For me sensativity and compassion are important, if she has that, then everything else will fall into place... basically, this qualifies as a "good" person far as I'm concerned. I just want a good hearted girl that likes to get down and is HONEST, with me and herself. Oh yeah, and I'm anti-selfish/superficial too .. I guess I do have other standards aside from love.

Well, see, my situation is perhaps a little different. Before you start to get the wrong idea, let me tell a little background. This girl comes from a family with a LOT more money then mine. I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does. I was raised old fashioned by my parents and that model doesn't really fit today.

Anyways, this girl is the active social type. She's a big theater buff, loves to go out and wine and dine, and all of that. Now, keep in mind that this isn't just and extra type of activity, this is what makes her HAPPY. I wanted to point out that she's from a better off family then mine just to prove she isn't a golddigger, and instead always offers to pay for my expenses as well (Which I always refuse of course). Now, I have no time to do any of the things she enjoys doing with her. At this point in my life I feel like I know her better then she knows herself, and I know that she would be happier with a guy that can do those sorts of things with her on a regular basis, instead of a guy like me who always has to cancel plans with her because I got called to a meeting, have a program due, big university HW assignment, that sorta thing.

Do I love her? Yes, which is why I am willing to give her up for her happiness. As I had said, there were other factors, but this was my main one.

I'm single right now because last year I got divorced and since then, all of the women I have met with the exception of one, have been complete losers. Things between me and the one are going pretty good, so may not be single in the months to come.

<< People are meant to be together >>

Where do you get that from?

The same TV and crap you say gives people the wrong idea about relationships?


Unless you mean in the sense that humans need a human of the opposite sex to produce offspring. Which in a sense is what all mammals are "meant" to do.

But other than that I fail to see why people are "meant" to be together.

I'm very happy with my life how it is. Why am I "meant" to be with someone else?

In 1977 my final year in college I was stunned and amazed by a young lady. It never seemed like work and we never fought or argued. We moved in together in '78 and then in '80 had our first child. In 1982 I had the pleasure of making her my bride. I wake up every morning knowing that I am the luckiest man on this planet. I wish all of you the same. To my bride Dayna thank you for 20 years of bliss. She is the other half of my heart and I would have it no other way.

Don't force relationships, that person is out there and sometimes it may just feel difficult. Over all the years never have a questioned my love for Dayna.

Sorry Off Topic but that is the forum.
