It's funny you say that because it could be me writing exactly the same thing...... I think I am just totally over it!
I think it's a bit sad really, oh well life goes on and at least that is adventurous :)
Peace everyone

What I think happens is after a certain point you have a fair idea of what appeals and doesn't appeal to you. Sure you might be surprised by someone new from time to time, but you also might be running into the same type of people and falling into similar patterns time and again.

On the other hand, you may crave the chance for new experience each person brings.

Sometimes a friend of mine will bust my chops for not going out with this person or that person... I admit I might be a little jaded but I also don't want to force myself to do something I know is not really catching my attention.

I made it 10 days with "dating" on my profile this time. Record for me. Then the reality sank in: BLECH. I'm back to forums and "talk/email."


I barely got the gumption to actually post another fvkcin' pic after five months or so. Don't know why, as I'm ready to take the fvcker down four days later. Still have a disclaimer in my profile though, so maybe it's just my half assed attempt that sucks.

I met with someone on Friday and I was ready to blow my brains out five minutes in. But sh1t if I didn't feel it was a waste of time to begin with. I gotta get me some more hobbies besides hating people.

I hear that. I'm always having to face that talk on a weekly basis. I wish I was deaf sometimes.

I feel very disillusioned by women that I date, I feel like they want me to be their knight in shining armour, I have to be funny all the time, romantic, charming...... but at the same time, I dont find that women put out very much effort at all....


This is exactly how i feel. I always feel like i am on stage as opposed to just relaxing and having a good time without all sorts of expectation...i suppose i would know we are compatible when i dont feel that way as a gauge...

I told you "verygreeneyes" but you don't care for an original :devilish:

I love good dating but it's just so far and few in between, just like everyone else, that I have more fun being with our friends and a dad and big kid to all our kids too. Yeah, I should update my profile with a few summer HOT pics and better desc of myself since mainly a BS'r on here but shyt, I don't know, I'm still ugly lol :).

This past weekend, our friends and us went to SixFlags then to the 200th annual Archiodiocese festival and had a BLAST! Great weather, music, dancing, beer, and good talking.

There was quite a few good looking women sitting or standing around and we all talked so as we were all about to leave, we asked for their numbers but could not believe that 2 wrote down their e-mail addresses from myspace, thought WTF??

I said thanks but just as these poor girls obviously needed help But not by me

I get very tired of trying to explain the ups & downs of my disability to people who either don't really listen or don't try very hard to understand. You tell someone you have trouble with something & they figure you always have the same level of difficulty with it. Makes me not want to bother.

Bored with online personals. They are of few types and mostly all the same, none of which even resembles fun. Bored with emails that say nothing or next to nothing. Bored with the endless parade of women looking for someone better. Bored with my has-been romantic ideal. Bored with ordinary, mediocre, conformist, unoriginal, sexless, romantic comedy drivel and the horse it rode in on. Bored with interview questions, hostility and fearful confusion. Bored by my own certainty of futility. Bored with blameless women victimized by loser men. Bored to look at one ad after the next and see nothing but lists of qualities, descriptions of the perfect relationship, and warnings not to bother if. And most boring of all, this

I definitely get bored with the lies and the games but I miss the sex. It's also boring when you go on a date and all they want to talk about is problems and the BS from the ex. Soooooo boring, no thanks. I'd rather cuddle with my cat or go out with friends, thanks.

Something tells me that would lead to a "Bored as Hell with my Favorites" thread. Just jivin', just jivin'!


I definitely get bored with the lies and the games but I miss the sex


I'm glad someone said it before I put it in a more crude manner. It's everything about the sex that I miss. Every touch, every breath, every sound, every whisper, every groan & moan, the dirty talk, the orgasm of course and that feeling that nothing else matters at that time. I just wish it didn't come at such a high cost of disappointment after realizing that the person you're with is just not on the same page.

So it begs to be answered: Are we just in limbo right now? Just waiting and hoping? Have we really become so apathetic? Or are we all just taking a break getting ready to charge back into battle? Will we even know when we're ready?

Let's face it, the alternative is shutting out everyone and being alone. No one is magically going to be the "one" on the first date, unfortunately. Ultimately, all we can do is take it one day at a time with the understanding that a person we choose to be with has the same ideas about long term love as we do. So is it the risk of being hurt or disappointed yet again, that we fear?

Here's another question: Given a choice between being alone and having a great relationship for the next 20 years, what would you choose? It may not be forever for most of us, but it's definitely LTR.

Sometimes dating makes me nervous. Just meeting and always trying to "fix myself up" with hair, make-up, a bra, and new clothes, smelling good. It's so much effort, and I feel I really don't relax very well. I'm not very good at dating by wearing and looking like something around the house. I want to look my best, probably because I want to put my best foot forward. I do this even when I attend night school.... dress up somewhat. My life is very full now. I only go on dates if I am attending somewhere I have never been before.... that way, it's not too boring. It's nice to meet a guy, in order to have someone attend special events around the holidays. They always keep me company, and help with things around the house, with entertaining, and such, but they seem to be on their way, disappearing into the horizon, and another shows up, helps me out during that season, then, he too, is gone. I guess this is the way it is supposed to be for now. Each new man brings me a special blessing, introducing me to a new interest. One likes Nascar, another has a Harley, the other is into shooting pool, another into baseball. Dating brings me into different activities with different people, and this adds interest to my life. Always something new.

I have read through your OP and other posts, and I have to say that I have been feeling the same way that you stated how you feel for the past couple of years.

I found that I was always wanting to be in a relationship because there were couples all around me getting married (from the moment they left high school).

There came a time when I thought to myself, "why are you putting so much pressure on yourself to be in a relationship?".

Now, I see that so many of the people that hooked up years past have been divorced before they even turn 25. Why put the pressure on ourselves to find our soul mates, get married and have kids?

I know that I am happy, but that I would like to meet a man that is my companion. A relationshop where he and I can be in the same room for hours on end reading novels, and not have to talk but know what each other is thinking.

Some people may think that I am off my rocker for wanting that, but I am not.

My parents have that, and they have been together since practically the beginning of time!

OP...you ask, is this a result of getting older? and you're 36?
jeezuz, i better get to work on that living will of mine then.

dating, sex, and everything else? Well, that covers a lot of ground there guy. Do you mean with Life.? Never, ever. Not for a moment

Dating and Sex? If it's happening, great! If it's not happening at the moment...then, still great!
for Life goes on, within you..or without you...(Beatles)
how can that be?
You'll find out.

peace

For me it's a combination of boredom and routine. Dating has become a chore for me which is part of the reason I'm not currently looking to date. I haven't had a dating experience that's truly wow'd me in a very long time. For the most part they've been predictable.

While I would like to be in a serious long-term relationship, I don't have a burning desire for one. I certainly don't feel any pressure to be in one. While I do feel lonely on occasion, I don't mind being alone.

I'm with you there. Life is more stress-free when I'm single.

I couldn't agree more with you. You have to change it up. I think you measure success to your own degree. I like to challenge myself to certain things each day, they may be small goals or on a larger scale, you have to do what you think will get you into a different surrounding.

Thanks for posting this comment. I think this is an eye opener for most of us. You need change and things to look forward too, different from what your use too. The person you are seeking may be at one of the events you are going too, or if you have found someone it will give you something refreshing to look at together.
Good luck,
Bella

I see your point OP, sex is important in a relationship but face it, there's 161 other hours in the week to fill, and even if you sleep 8 hours per night (who actually does?), and work 50 hours (including a little commute time if you only work 40), that leaves 55 hours that you may have to potentially spend with a significant other, awake and looking at her. A daunting thought at times. All that being said, I think a real match is worth it. When I am not in a relationship I don't miss sex the most, I miss the hugs, kisses, holding hands and light touches the most. Sometimes just the thought of her being there for me when work is over for the day, that she will be with me at dinner, to go to the beach with this weekend or watch a movie with tonight, a bike ride before dark, THAT'S what I miss the most, all of that foreplay and the sex is just the end result. Okay, off to watch "PeeWee's Big Adventure" with one of my 6 year olds.

For me, it's disillusionment. I would love the longterm, committed relationship with a man I can hero worship a little.

Unfortunately, I'm tired of being misled and undervalued. Maybe time to take a break for a long while.

Im with you on this one Nutt!

Im bored with the empty meaningless situations I get myself into (Notice I said 'myself', Im not blaming anyone else).

Im holding out for the real thing now....Well at least for something more than just sex!

I feel the same way OP...but I never feel lonely. I'm really not sure why, only thing I can think is I don't feel lonely because I don't feel like anything is missing within myself. After a lot of bad years ( most of which spent alone ), I have found a real sense of freedom within myself and I'm not sure I want to risk losing that feeling.

^^^^^^exactly! as i always tell men,i want a man who says what he wants and means what he says. self imposed break for me,i just couldn't take it anymore. seems like every guy i met said the right things,then it turned into them only wanting a booty call but packaging it up pretty to get it. sex is great,wonderful,but its so much better when you have something real beyond 'friends' behind it. so i stay alone and feel lonely but its better then the constant disappointment
