I'm not the only one who is completely awful at this, am I? I hope not, single for 12 years...there's probably a reason for that. I think I give off a serial killer vibe or something.

    Maybe. Do you greet people with that look on your face in your picture?

    No, I actually try to smile and end up looking like the Joker. I think either looking angry or like a comic book villain might be holding me back.

    You just need to find the right person who compliments your comic-book-villain grin.

    I have no advice on single life, as I was dating my now-husband my sophomore year of high school....nine years ago. We enhance the other person's crazy, and it works.

  • I have had relationships but they all seem to fail. I have kinda just stopped looking and figure that the right person will find ME when the time is right. I still go on dates but lately I have been meeting a bunch of *kitten* haha.

    Dating and relationships aren't worth the effort. So much effort and all you get is drama.

    You're better off waiting to find someone who just wants sex. Meet, having fun for a few hours, then go your separate ways. Repeat once a week.

    Either that, or get into kink. That stuff is fun too.

    Its all about presentation. To wit: SWM seeks SWF who enjoys sunrises, listening to motivational tapes and drinking milk.

    I'm so with you on this one... I figure my Cowboy Prince will find me someday. Until then, I'm on a campaign for free dinners. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Cat woman would be ideal.
    Scotland???

    Ohhhhhhhhh I was born there, and only live about 100 km away from the border.

    I'd take what I can get at this stage, but apparently I'm just as bad at being that person people will have flings with as I am at being that person people will have a relationship with. I'm not exactly lonely as I'm a bit of an introvert and somewhat comfortable being all 'every man is an island and this one isn't served by any ferries'. But it occurred to me at some point I might like to give the being with other people thing a try.

    Just what I need, competition. Drats, I shouldn't have given the game away.

    I never dated. I thought it was too contrived, to put on this show that has nothing to do with who you are or how you live. I went out with girls to do things I would do anyway, or mostly met girls out playing sports. That way I knew we had something in common. And I LOVE athletic girls.

    If you go into it with an "I just want sex attitude," then girls who want more than that will sense it and punt. If you go into it with an "I need to be in a relationship" attitude off the bat, then that might be panic inducing. Relationships take time to grow - I say, just be yourself and, most importantly, be true to what you want for yourself. And there's no need to rush into any decisions.

    I think that's what I've learned, anyway. Dating is hard stuff.

    Get laid whenever you want? How do I sign up for this? It must be something that women can do and men can't...

    I tried dating and that failed horribly. I either get told I'm too busy because I have children or because I spend "too much time in the gym". ;) This is normally from men that have children of their own and won't go out on a date when they have their child(ren). Excuse me, single parent here, their father is NOT in the picture.

    So I have just stuck with "talking" to an old friend from high school. We talk/text everyday, set plans to spend the weekend together, exchange Christmas gifts, go to movies and dinner and hey...we sleep with each other. Unless that's dating?? Cause we are both very "chill" about our companionship and nothing is official. Heck, we haven't even discussed going public with our relationship although it is known between us and close friends that neither of us are seeing other people.
