I understand that. But don't let that frustration make you miserable or unhappy...you might as well put a bag over your head. Chin up, stay busy, and keep your eyes open.

The best way to find the love of your life, is to, first and foremost, get married. And just when you weren't looking................................

Actually, that's true. Some even wear fake wedding rings to attract others.

I have a problem with that saying because, well, it doesn't apply to anything else. I don't get an "A" on an exam when I'm not trying for it, I don't get a promotion when I'm not trying for it. So why don't you get love when you try for it?

I think you misinterpreted the saying. The saying simply means that you don't know when love will arrive, so looking for it might or might not work. It will appear when it's ready. No sooner, no later. Some people search high and low for a love, and never seem to find it. They get old, grow tired, lose faith. Then one day they are sitting in a diner with a friend and another friend of theirs shows up and you just feel all weird inside when you look at this person. The feeling is mutual, and so you go out on a date with her/him. And it just happens. Fate brought you together at the perfect time in your life. Not when you wanted it, but when it had to be. That's how I take the saying, anyway.

how do you know that the sun rises in the morning? if a tree falls in the woods a no one is there does it make noise?
you know you've found love when it sneaks up and bites you in the butt.

I know that many people believe they have to have money to date, but Hurricane that isn't true. If a girl likes you, she won't care. She will be content to take long walks, hang out and watch movies at home, have a picnic, or just be with you. Don't let the fact that you are in school and broke stop you. Also, just continue to live and meet people and maybe you will find someone that you like.

Yeah but they'll probably be the ugly girls. Or at least the fat girls with pretty faces that can't get dates.

Ok i'm just kidding but let's be honest here. MOST girls want to go out. You don't HAVE to spend a fortune but they'd like it if you do on occasion. They at least want to do dinner and a movie which nowadays you're probably gonna drop a hundred bucks easily. It was many moons ago but in high school I had a girl dump me because "we never went out". And I didn't blame her because she had guys lined up to take her out so why not have some fun? I wanted to smoke pot, drink, and try to get layed. She wasn't being shallow either, she was a good person. Funny she wants to go out to dinner with our spouses now 31 years later.

Anyway... it's possible to find that perfect "one in a million" girl that is happy just to be in your presence, but in reality it helps to have a couple of bucks in your pocket. And a car.

i think your in a tough situation but of course it's not impossible. there are guys that can get girls no matter what, but the rest of us need to do the "normal" thing, which is to ask girls on actual dates. and yes that does usually require money but i guess if you live in a city like you do you can use MT. it is possible though for that "one in a million" girl to just pop up but it sure isn't likely.

you are in college though right? that means girls are around so you need to be aggressive in my opinion. by that i mean just start asking girls to do whatever it is you can manage even if it is just a cup of coffee. somewhere along the line the odds gotta work in your favor and it'll work out. i'd just start asking every girl that looks good to me "out" for something. once you do it a bunch of times you'll get over the nervousness too and you'll get better at it. look at it like an adventure and start writing about you experiences. who knows maybe some day you could write a book?
