giving up is kind of defeatist, thats ok as long as you dont let youself go. ive never felt ive tried that hard to appear desperate. i wouldnt say id give up though, id just take time out. |
Well I didn't mean give up as in stop bathing, just give up looking so hard.
In my other post, I mentioned my friend describing a girl to me as 'single, looking to get married'.
I think 'single, looking for a boyfriend/ girlfriend' is equally terrifying- it implies that rather than meeting someone, getting to like them, then ending up liking them so much that you would like them as a partner has been replaced by walking round with a template trying to find someone who fits it (or can be crammed into it).
Wanting a partner because you are uncomfortable in your own company is not healthy, and does not make you attractive.
Consider this example:
Would you rather someone said to you...
'I would love it if I could wake up next to you in the mornings'
or...
'I just want someone nice to wake up next to in the mornings'
How about...
'I want to spend the rest of my life with you'
As opposed to....
'I want to meet someone nice to spend the rest of my life with'
See how, although both are well intentioned, one is romantic, and the other is desperate?
I would rather be single than meet someone with this outlook

lmao thanx for the further expanation, i see where your coming from
i guess i meant id just make myself 'unavailible' for a while, and do my own thing, but i wouldnt see that as giving up, and no i dont walk around with a template lol

Lol! I wasn't referring directly to you, I don't even know you!
It's true though isn't it? The scary thing about a template is that nobody will fit it exactly- that's when people start trying to change their partner to suit and end up driving them away.
I'm sure no girl has ever thought 'I'd love to meet a nice guy who has had love with 50 women and is still friends with loads of his exes...'
Templates are never realistic and never include baggage.

I'm new to this (the whole idea of internet dating sites, not just here), it would seem to me that it would be very difficult to tell if someone is genuine.
Like you say, people are always going lead on what they are like in the vein hope of some love.
I also think that (although it's easier said than done) you can't have those doubts about someone always lingering in the background, as I reckon it would affect the way you'll interact with them, and then it would lead to you not really being yourself.
Feel free to tell me i'm wrong by the way!
It's gonna be an interesting time on here, I can tell.

Ive always had a problem with the phrase 'looking for a genuine man', I had a look earlier and I can say that I am genuinly a man. So when I write back and say I am genuinly a man, why do I get ignored?
I think the only way to check someones integerity is to get to know them better, talking and chatting, and then meeting in a public place if it goes that far. If you met someone on a night out however, you wouldnt ask them if they were a genuine man, so thats a bit strange how you would ask one stranger that and not another.

well i not read this shit but lets just say my relationships falled apart coz of how honest i am...
they couldnt handle me after we just friends and have to end relations with me coz i so honest and they hate it lol....
nn quite recently i met a girl nn was with her nearly a year and after we broke up i saw her true colors and she hated me for telling her them, fakes are sad nn i hate em but im sure theres other people like me but its a universal thing, since we are free thinkers.. best thing is to hang it out before u go jumping in with someone...
I normally have a long time before i trust people but i think its to waste when last relationship managed to fake me for so long and i could of done jail for a long time for that stupid cow...
O well i got last laugh coz im honest and shes a hoe... i will win the war against feeling guilt in the end im always happy and not upset about stuff i do coz i never chose to harm to get what i want...
so there u have it im random as marry... its probly this drum n bass but also its meeeeeeeee honest

I'd say the time of posting is a bit of a mitigating factor, but that aside,
