fall madly in love

on dating sites who message you with some insulting comment? Do they think they are setting themselves apart? Do they really enjoy wasting their time and effort on someone they don’t like? I don’t know….but I do know it elicits the same response from me every time: DELETE.

A few weeks of it & I’m exhausted. I’ve gone out with 5 different guys and not a one seems promising. I’m going to give up again….pursuing dating just doesn’t work, but neither does just “waiting” for “something” to happen. I don’t know why it is so hard for people like me to connect with others. I feel like an alien again today…

I went out with someone recently who I really like. I’m not sure how it went. From my perspective it was a success, but because I find him very attractive, I was nervous and therefore shy, so I don’t know if he liked me.

I have not heard from him still, so I don’t know if I will ever. You just never know with guys…
I’d be disappointed, but I do have some other people waiting in the wings, so to speak. Of course, the ones I am really drawn to never respond as well to me…. :sigh:

There is something depressing about seeing goals like this, year after year, just sitting there…
I’m starting to feel like I’m going to be alone my whole life. Not being dramatic….just resigning myself to reality.

and discovered that the interesting, smart, funny, and attractive people all really do live far away. It’s hard to meet people in a small area like this. I find those with common interests tend to be in cities…
There’s an awful lot of nerds to sort through online also…I’m not shallow, but I’m not selling myself short either :X

I’m really tired of being single. I’ve been completely single my whole life, nearly 25 years. I just want to be in love for once, and have it reciprocated of course…
There’s just so much restriction in my life though. It’s way too hard to meet people I would actually be able to date….
I meet people sometimes, but it is just too difficult because of my circumstances.

We went out once & have talked on the phone a little since….he seems pretty cool, but there’s one major difference which is that I am much more religious than he is, something he doesn’t seem to realize yet. I hate labeling myself so I don’t feel like coming right out & saying “I am somewhat religious” as I will likely be judged based on some preconceived notions rather than who I am.

Even more of an issue is that I am not sure I am attracted to him romantically. I just want to be excited about someone & I don’t feel much for him at all. I just met him, so maybe I should give it time, but then I also don’t want to lead him on. He already seems like he really likes me…..I’m not sure if I like him or the attention…

“Before Sunrise” and “Before Sunset” last night for the first time. They are movies that sort of make you wish you could have an experience like that; meeting a stranger in a romantic city & having a magical night/afternoon.
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked with someone instantly like that; and maybe it does only happen in the movies….but there has to be some magical moments in real life, right? Well there never have been any in mine….not one even slightly romantic moment. All just awkward reality. Nothing close to madly in love…maybe unrequited strong liking at best.

I’ve never had a real boyfriend & I’m already tired of dating.
It’s so terribly awkward….
I just want to meet someone and have a huge sigh of relief (is that really so much to ask?). I fear I will die alone, never having truly loved & never truly felt loved romantically. Is it possible to go your whole life without ever falling in love? People do die sad, poor, miserable, and alone….what if that is me?!
