Posted: 11/14/2006 11:08:18 PM | | ...there's a parallel one too. At a wedding, all the little ol' biddies point and say "you're next! You're next!" ... clearly my love life indicates to the contrary. However, when we meet up at the funeral later on that year, it's pretty tough not to point back at them and say "you're next! you're next!" | |

The more comfortable you feel about yourself, the better you are as a person. Once fear is gone, one can focus and throw their energy towards the things that matter in life: setting goals and achieving them. | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 7:41:17 AM | I'm sure this should be on a different thread, but at the same time it rates right up there with why I'm not dating anyone.
The women on here that you take the time to respond, with a 100% clean let's meet & have coffee or whatever you wish. I get instead of a thanks but I'm not interested, I get Thanks, but I found someone.
Now call me crazy, but I can't understand the logic of some on here.
After seeing a woman several times showing up on the My Matches section, and see they have been on regularly, I decide to give it a shot. The worst that can happen is they say no, Read & delete, or just delete the message without reading it.
"Thanks, but I found someone"
I hope that "someone" they find doesn't mind they are quite active on a dating site while they date.
They don't have anything showing they've participated in the forums, so being active still because of the forums is out. Why still be active every other day, if you've found someone?
I think it's funnier than hell when I see someone that said "I've found someone" and STILL shows as being quite active on here.
A simple "thanks, but I'm not interested" would suffice.
Sorting through all the profiles and finding just ONE that I can invite to go to coffee, or dinner, and have fun, and talk about whatever we decide to talk about is still like finding a needle in a hay stack. Think I'll break out an industrial strength magnet to find that needle! | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 8:16:14 AM | | No particular reason, I just haven't been trying and I haven't met anyone where the interest was mutual. They either dig me, and I don't dig them, or the reverse. S'ok, takes time, and I'm in no rush at all. | |

when they add "what's wrong with you?"
Now that's just BAD MANNERS. The only people who have any business asking you that question are your mother, and your doctor.
If your best 'Miss Manners' "I-can't- believe-you-just-said-that-to-me " LOOK doesn't wither them on the spot,then you can always say "There's NOTHING wrong with me, I just know EXACTLYwhat I want, I want(insert the name of your favorite already-taken female celebrity/pulic figure) and she's already taken...." ( I usually use Donald Trump LOL)
or; "WRONG with me?? There is NOTHING wrong with me! I'm so happy,FINALLY being totally in charge of my own life,that I may never date again!"(do not BELABOR that point or you will come off as defensive and bitter!)
OK OK if it's your grandma or Aunt Jane,(you gotta be NICE) just tell her, "There's nothing wrong, I just want a woman exactly like you, Gran-and they just don't make 'em like you anymore!"
Hope these suggestions help...

Posted: 11/15/2006 10:57:55 AM | A friend suggested yesterday that I should "lower my standards".

My response: Have you MET my ex??? You want me to be with
WORSE than that???? Get away from me before I smack ya! | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 11:32:52 AM | I don't think most people mean any harm when they ask this question. If you are single and you are in a place with a lot of couples around, it's not just awkward for you, it's awkward for them. It's hard to talk about things when you can't relate to someone and they can't relate to you on some level.
That's why if you are around a bunch of couples a lot and you are single, they will probably try to fix you up, because the only way you'll all stay friends is if you are all in the same kind of situation where you can relate to each other. | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 1:18:01 PM | because every women I have met my age is angry at the world and all men on it, weird (did I mention angry) or just plain boring. Younger women want kids and I can not give them that. And being alone is not that bad most of the time.
AND, I don't share the remotes or sleep on the wet spot.
Other then that I am still looking :) | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 2:38:36 PM | | appearently, women are not fond of shy or unique men. I guess the louder and more muscular a guy is, the more dates he gets, screw evolution | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 3:00:47 PM | oh i find it such a fabulous question to answer! Frankly i just want to hang my head in shame, or at least thats how ppl make me feel by asking it. For the most part though i use to get a slight differnt approach to that question and it was so do you have a bf yet? Primarily it was when my dad or step mom would ask me and i would usually tell them yes and give thema rediculous number like i have 34 of them! Oh and my other favourite line to use would be no i am wearing my guy repelant today thank you! (family big in to camping hense the reference to bug spray)
as for the lowered my standards part, god out of all people my best freind is the one that says it to me the most.... "your just to picky" "there are alot of men out there that would date you" just because they are there why does that mean i have to settle for them? why be in a relationship your not really interested in just for the fact of dating someone? | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 3:40:49 PM | | HA HA HA... I hate that question.... My answer to that is... why would I want to do something like that??? if it happens it happens if not well thats ok too... I'm not going to settle for less that what I want in a partner. It would only do us both a great injustice and bring heartache. | |
