Single and liking it.......????
This topic was created in the Relationships forum by GemsRaGalsBestPal on Thursday, September 22, 2011 and has 9 replies.
Yes, I think we're programed to say we just loooooooooooove our single lives. However, I've got the itch. The cheating bastard with no soul (I just love giving peeps sweet nicknames) and I threw the scissor mafia hands up at each other back in March. Before that I was single for a few years licking some serious wounds and then "doing me". I've had some flirtations since, but other than that my heart has remained at a steady pace. Which I am sure is good for my blood pressure and all, but.....
So, here's my deal. A friend of mine (he's a massive optimist) said to me that after a certain dating age everyone left in that pool is the dregs.... all the other normal, weird compulsion free, daddy issue-less, commitment phobic free, have all their teeth peeps have paired up. Then, this charming friend of mine flashes me his big Hollywood smile and lays this one on me.... "So, now we just skim through the pool looking around for other well adjusted peeps like us, obviously, who may have slipped through the cracks." Then he sips his soda, smiles again, and finishes with this beauty, "That, or hope for a few divorces...."
So, I'm kinda wanting to get out there, but I've done the match.com thing.... barf. I've met the boys at the restaurants and bars.... barf. I've met the dudes through friends..... I told you who my male friends are right? I think one day I may have stood on the street corner with a sign.
Did I piss away my last few years in the pool with good fishes? In a big city, with tons of dating options it seems like all them men throw 'em back and trade 'em in far too often. In our over technological lives we spend lots of time behind the computer anyway (point in case) thus weakening our desire to go out and seek new human contact. This shit has gotten complicated.... Maybe I should just claim to be single and LOVIN' IT........
Lots of ramblings here..... Anyone have an opinion on any of it? Care to chitty chat about it? If not we can just consider this a live blog post.

i've talked to people (teens) about their dreams, and most of them involve a lover and a family.
i dont understand
a) why THAT would be someones ultimate dream in life..seems like bullshit -to me
b) its like, if you go throughout your life just constantly searching for people to date and looking for the "right" person that you see in your every day life, then that doesn't really seem to me like it would be something to cherish..just doesn't seem real....and i think those are the type of people you mentioned who were already paired up at a certain age.
for example- if you love scuba diving and searching for long lost treasure or something neato like that, and THEN you meet someone while doing what you love- then to me, THAT is something to cherish and would be very real.
but if you go do things, and go to places hoping or expecting to find someone that you like...then i mean cmon..if they arent that hard to get in the first place, then they usually arent worth it.

Shit, you're right. I need to stop watching movies like Dances with Wolves and Ghost.
I love how they used 'In & Out' burger. Irony, party of one? Your handjob is ready.
My single late twenties friends are having a hard time. It's crazy how men have picked 24-25 as the 'ideal' age even if they are 50 something. You'll probably have to wait for a good guy to be thrown back after a divorce and then deal with the kiddies, ex and his obsession with the ex and/or make up for the pain she caused him. No worries though, there are good guys, some you are overlooking now but will come to see their value in time. I think the best marriages happen later in life after both have matured and learned harsh lessons. If he and you are still in the hunt for love and the trials and tribulations haven't done you in, then it's possible you'll have the strength to forge a wonderful life.
Have faith, little one

O.M.G.....the late twenties people are having a hard time?????? Well I guess I may as well blow my brains out now then?
Nobody gets divorced. So don't be telling people to wait around for that to happen. Bad Mistery. Smack bottom.
and GemsR, you do NOT have to settle for batteries. Consider your bottom smacked too.....oh hang on, you might like that!
