Love And Why I Will Never Find It

FountainandFairfax

in a VAN down by the RIVER
I just ate half a bag.

A party-size bag.

Because I'm a one-man party.

Apparently, I'm also a one-man "economy" and "family" as well. ha ha

learn pickup/game.
you'll learn life lessons from it too and improve your overall life, not just finding a love life.
it for sure helped me boost my confidence socially

You want to know how I got these scars?
I dont want to be alone forever. why? because it's terribly lonely.. xD

you know, I believe if you go 'looking' for mr /mrs right on purpose, that your chances of finding them are drastically reduced.

Problem is, you have to make yourself known to potential suitors. Sitting at home wont let others know you're out there and available.

But dont change who you are in order to find someone. Rather, do the things you love but do it in a setting where others love the same things.
Hiking groups, cooking classes, volunteering, etc etc these sort of things can get you in amongst others without having to resort to trawling pubs and clubs for a mate.

I assume I am like most of you people here.... pretty shy when it comes to dating. In my case, 26 years of keeping my pants on.

Anyways, when I really want to send myself into a depression spiral this is what I think of.

I have a hard enough time connecting with 1 girl. Its a heck of a lot of work for me to even have a conversation with a girl I might be interested in, let alone form a real relationship. The problem is that love at first sight is pretty rare and most people go through several partners before they find "the one".

So I always think to myself, even if I could get a girl to even KISS me, chances are I would still fail and need to start the search all over again.

Thus, the complete and utter depression, the black hole space in my chest. Endless. Hopeless.

Have a good day.

This pretty much sums up how Ive been feeling the past two days or so except that for me its nearly 30 years of keeping my pants on

I have lost the capacity for feeling romantic love. I may get a flash here and there but for the most part I see the whole thing as a big farce.

Do you know how much time, energy, thought, and money it takes to sweep a woman off her feet?

And then what? I get a mate for life that always has my back and is always on my side? Yeah right! Keep dreamin'!

I met someone new today, someone I immediately liked, but my insecurity and depression got the better of me again so I only have negative expectations of what, if anything, is going to happen in the future. I'm 35 and have been single for most of my life and I'm terrified of rejection. My last two romantic relationships have ended in disaster partly because my insecurity and fear pushed them away. The last one was two years ago and lasted for four months and since then my self-esteem has become even worse than it used to be. I want to feel better and I want to be able to connect to people on an emotional level but I always end up pushing people away because I am incapable of suppressing my fear of rejection, so I have almost given up on love and I'm starting to face the reality that I might have to spend the rest of my life alone.

I'm right there with you. I'm 25 and have never been on a date or kissed a girl. Like you, even I did somehow get a girl to go out with me or whatever, I would have no idea what to do and would probably just end up making a fool of myself. That's what I pretty much did back when I was in high school during my sophomore year. I tried too hard and made a complete fool of myself and got no where with the girl I was after. Sadly, that's the closest I've been since. My fear of rejection, making a fool of myself, and a total lack of opportunities since have made me something of a permanent bachelor in the worst kind of way. The older I get I feel, the chances of me ever finding love decrease dramatically.

As a misanthrope I find the dating game to be incredibly INCREDIBLY BORING! I'm really not that interested or curious about other people's lives so finding some random woman to talk about her day or some other small talk just bores me terribly.

Then, interlaced between all this boring small talk you have to weave in signs of interest.

Then you have to read and watch for signals of interest from her which are sometimes misleading and you end up wasting a whole bunch of time and energy.

Sorry, but modern dating feels like driving at night in a really really dense fog on a mountain road. I have done that before and it is not pleasant!

Then as a man you grow up hearing that you need to be aggressive, "decide what you want and take it", fight for things, chase women...all takes more energy than I got and quite frankly I'm too bored with people and the world for all that.

Aggressiveness is great as long as the woman finds you attractive. If she doesn't then you become the "creeper." Do this in a place where you frequent often and now you will be known as the resident "creeper."

Modern dating is filled with flakes, creepers, divas, players, people who think they are SO much more than they actually are, people holding out for "perfection", users, gold diggers, people looking for a dad/mom for their kids, endless texters, married people playing around, and many other shadowy figures.

So it's no surprise that I get on best with misanthropic women. That way we can avoid most of the small talk. But they are rare to find these days. :-(

Jesus ****in Christ. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way. :applause:
