I agree and you are focusing too intensely on dating. Self revelation is a powerful thing and once you become happy and content with yourself and where you are in life, it will all come together for you.

Dr. Wayne Dyer is a good start.
Dr. Wayne Dryer, isn't he the founder of that alleged cult thing that John Travolta is into?

Don't forget the stainless steel appliances!

Anyway, my message to the original poster is simply: try something new. Stop with the online dating sites if it's not working for you.

My story to share is that I met my boyfriend online (he was 29, I was 27), and on a gaming server (Counterstrike). We shot each other and it was love at first BAM!! Haha, jk. What it takes is lots of communication and deciding if this is worth your time. You need better filtration! Weed out the crap.

I wish you good luck!

I'm not hyper. Just because I can write elaborately and quickly on a computer shouldn't give impressions of being hyper, I don't know how you get that.

I don't need drugs. I just see this for what it is. I'm entitled to my view. Not everyone has to have a purpose for a relationship. Many people live fulfilling lives without ever getting married or finding "the one". I can be just as happy without dating. Its just something that isn't fun for me, and it doesn't feel like it's meant for me. Some people just aren't good at dealing with certain things. I don't NEED mental help, my therapist has already told me he doesn't recommend me to keep showing up, but I've hit my deductable for insurance when I had knee surgery, and I like going as I feel better afterwards.

I'm not as screwed up as some of your presume just because I'm deciding to give something up that makes me unhappy. Just because it comes so easy to the rest of you doesn't mean I have a major problem because it's tougher for me to deal with.

Everyone struggles with something. This happens to be one of mine.

Yeah it had nothing to do with how eloquently or elaborately you write. Geez!

Maybe I should have said anxious. At any rate it had nothing to do with your superb writing, but how you handle situations that I've witnessed over many of your threads.

Hell, no. It's never been easy for me, and I don't think it has for anyone else either. Just look at the size of this Relationship subforum.

I completely agree with this statement, and I feel like I'm very happy and confident in myself in almost all other aspects of my life. I have a good job, I'm well educated, I have a lot of friends, I have some very good friends as well, I'm active, I play a lot of sports, I'm outgoing and have no problem meeting new people, I know how to have fun in social settings, I am proactive about improving myself and trying new things.

I'm just trying to keep an open mind to meet people who are interested in a potential relationship, but I just can't deal with this one aspect of it. I find it appauling and disgusting. I'm an honest, straight forward, and respectful guy. It's just so discouraging to learn that most people are like this.

I agree with you as well. I can't handle these situations so I'm taking the steps neccesarily to make sure I'm not in theese situations ever again.
