Man, I really don't know how to put my thoughts down on 'paper' right now since I've got way too many floating around in my mind right now. I've been feeling somewhat lonely. I just want to meet a nice girl who can appreciate me, someone who I can be there for and who can be there for me. Y'know a couple weeks ago I mentioned how I had a deep conversation with one of my housemates... well we've had a few more... she's not quite my type but a girl somewhat like her would be pretty rad. I think she's very good looking even if she doesn't meet the modern standards of what constitutes 'hot,' she's kind, caring and honest. Very honest, which is something I like about her. She'll tell you straight up what she thinks of you, generally with tact but hey at least you know. Maybe it's her age (23, though I've met plenty of other women her age who still act like 18 year olds) but I haven't had much luck meeting women like that.

I'm not sure what the hell the point of this thread is, I guess it's just to get my thoughts off my chest. Better than keeping them bottled up, that leads to bad places. Does anybody know what I mean though? I'm tired of feeling so alone. I just want somebody to love and to love me. Everybody keeps saying it'll happen "some day" but who knows when that is.... and who knows if I can make it that long.

There are people who have had tons of relationships who want the same thing as you do.

Who doesn't? We all want to be happy.

I guess we should just never give up, no matter how down we may feel. And while it's natural to feel "down", we should do our best to get up & move on and make ourselves feel happy.

Don't forget that we have to be happy with ourselves before we can be happy with someone else.

I can't blame them.

@Soviet that's the hardest thing for me.

Do you know what's sad? When two lonely people are too afraid to really get to know each other and bond with each other. It's a pity most women who say they are lonely are generally unattractive (physically or otherwise) or just really picky.

Unfortunately it happens when and if it's planned in our blue prints of our journey in life.

There's nothing like talking to a girl who's telling you what she wants in a guy and mentally checking off each "requirement" because you know you meet each one and wishing you could just shake her and wake her up to what's right in front of her.

I don't really believe in blueprints of life or whatever you want to call it... I mean, a few years ago I would never have thought I'd be at the university I'm at now, for instance. I don't like to think that I don't have complete control over my life. I obviously can't plan for things like, say, an asteroid slamming into my house and obliterating me... but I can plan for whether I graduate with good marks or not.

It is one thing to want. It is another thing to be it. If you are not it, it is difficult to recognize it in a person who has it. Maybe that is why they don't see it in you.

Yeah the bottom line is dating is just a practical exercise for obtaining the best genes for your offspring, whether you actually have offspring or not. You can't go past the genetics of it. But that doesn't mean there isn't a whole other level of relationships beyond that, at a more 'spiritual' level if you like. Dating is merely the preliminary stages. Most of what is discussed in this board relates to attraction, same with magazines, websites, dating resources etc. What is really special is when you find that person you connect with on a level you never dreamed you could with another person.

Alas I've not experienced this myself, so I'm in the same boat as you. I suppose someday, before I turn 50 I hope .
