Life is not a Disney movie. Love is not a Disney movie. A relationship, a marriage, parenting, they are all hard work. They take time and attention and dedication. But if you want to sit around waiting for prince charming good luck.

I swear Disney has screwed up a whole generation of girls.

Ahahhahahaha He's not deployed? He's in another state but hardly texts you, does he ever call you or Skype with you? That's not how a man that is interest in you acts. He's not playing hard to get, he's giving you a very CLEAR message about his feelings and intentions towards you.

Nothing wrong with that.
No you don't have to believe in magic. If you want to believe in something, believe in yourself! Don't wait for a prince to come along and make your life complete. Go out and live your life, now, here, in the moment.

Yupp. I'm sure his buddies are getting a good laugh about this girl their buddy met twice who won't leave him alone.

I always get tested but obviously I would want him to but it's scary to ask because... some guys don't like it. That happened before. I am just going to let him go with the flow of what he wants I'll suggest protection though
What license? Your LCSW?

I doubt you'll ever hear from him whenever he does get back.

Guys who are into you, text. A guy who wants to talk to you, will. His silence is a LOUD message.

I can't believe in this day and age young women are still pinning their hopes on a man, any man to make them feel whole. If it isn't the right man, it won't work. If you marry for the wrong reasons, it won't work. And if you have a child thinking it will strengthen the relationship, it won't work.

I am studying for the LCSW and I will hopefully be ready next month. He said he wants a family. I even asked him I said "I feel like maybe you're just lonely there and you talk to me but when your back you won't like me anymore" and he said that won't happen and I worry too much and and I asked "what about if you meet someone like one of your little friends" and he said "I have no friends why do you think I didn't go out when I was on leave accept with my family". He also said that he ignores his brother and family too so it isn't just me.

I have told this to many people who have asked me for advice who later most came back thanking me for saying this: "PLEASE DON'T FOOL YOURSELF!"

Maybe i am being an ass,but why in this day and age must a woman wait for a man to have kids?

Go get what you want OP.
If thats a baby,so be it.

You have a mother or other relatives to help you out?

Its not 1888 anymore,heck not even 1988.

Isn't that a contradiction?

You are telling her that a woman does not need a man but does need a mother or other relatives to help her if she wants kids?

Because it's an incredibly selfish way to act. This woman is neither financially nor mentally fit to take on raising a child at this point. Using a child to fill a void in her own life dooms her and the child to a life of diappointment.

But children do need their father in their lives.

No they don't, it is nice if he is around and involved but he is not required and in some instances it is best if neither biological parent is involved.
