| Am I missing something here?
Posted: 10/18/2009 11:15:59 AM | What you write pretty much describes me, which is quite rare! I hope that the penultimate paragraph can also describe me some day.
I wish I could just meet somebody who is as straightforward as me - I don't piss about with people's feelings, if I like somebody, I like somebody, and I'll say so, I don't suddenly switch on and off. If I say I'll call somebody, I'll bloody well call them when I said, or as soon as possible if something came up. I don't see why it seems to be a problem for so much of the population who just can't seem to work out how they feel, and/or how to express it and actually be CONSISTENT.
I know that deep down I am quietly confident about myself, but there is also an element of bitter resignation. If somebody asks me about finding a partner or marriage, I get the urge to say something lie "me? Finding a partner? There's more chance of there being a 30th February this year..." I don't know if that feeling will quite ever go away... | |

The thing is, there are actually men whose type we are, and they tend to be intelligent, interesting and unconventional sorts, so while you may have a bit of a wait, you will find a man as relieved and happy to have found you, as you are to have found him.
Although there are flakes at every age, I think the consistency thing is largely a maturity issue. It seems that a lot of serious-minded women in their early twenties are dealing with guys who still have a lot of growing up to do. It should get better as you get older. A lot of things do, actually.
The feelings of resignation will go away once you get into your first relationship. It might not be instantaneous, though. I think I spent the first several months with my first boyfriend not quite believing this was actually happening to me. At that point, I HAD sort of resigned myself to endless spinsterhood. I'd even acquired a cat! 
Look, you're pretty, intelligent, and seem to be able to interact well socially. Even though you may not feel it, you're still really young, and still well within the bounds of a normal age for starting your first relationship. There's no reason it can't happen to you. In fact, I'd be willing to be money that it will! | |
