I'm so glad that some random guy thinks I have a poor sense of humor. Why don't we all just calm down and not take this thread so seriously. She's obviously uptight and needs to just relax a bit. Might help her find someone if she wasn't feeling like she "needed" a relationship.

You need to work on being funny, and aside from your poor attempt at a joke you gave no real advice or help, you just agreed with her views on online dating...thanks for your contribution!

Why is online dating NOT for you? I mean, you're sitting online wailing about the impossibility of meeting anyone and how depressed you are. You could be out meeting people instead. Seems pretty ridiculous to rule out a method that would provide a host of options to you for whatever unknown reason you may have.

I haven't had much traditional "success" with online dating but I've mostly met really cool guys and had a good time on most of my dates. A few are still friends. Some developed into relationships. Others have provided excellent conversations and insights. I've enjoyed myself immensely for the most part.

Most of the time, I think the disasters people report are due to them not reading the obvious red flags in the profiles or arranging dates after only a couple of emails.

Hole in the soul syndrome. Your choice what you "fill" it with.

How about you shove it? This is an internet forum, not an episode of Dr. Phil.

Yeah I think online dating is pretty cheesy and pointless and downright weird.
She and Brahma should meet.

Today I decided to check their fb account, which I haven't done before. So the ex from 3 years ago has a gf, as I could see on his fb - I saw their pics together and frankly, it didn't upset me at all, which is surprising but I guess after all that time t has no impact on how I feel. The most recent ex - couldn't find out much but I think I don't love him anymore, just miss him a bit... sometime, when I'm down like now.

Still, I feel so lonely now and I feel like crying. I miss having a bf, someone who would care about me and love me. It's been a while now since my last serious relationship and I had only one short fling. Now I'm back to being single. What's wrong with me? I'm worrying that I won't have a bf again :-(
This is a hard time of year to be single. The weather is gray and depressing and every where you look it's happy couples and happy families doing happy couple and happy family things. Every other commercial is about what to give your loved one this holiday season or about how Christmas is the perfect time to get engaged. Having someone special is really thrown in your face right now and makes the singleness stand out all that much more.

Join a spinfishing or flyfishing club, or bird watching, mixed bowling league, perhaps.

This is interesting.

You say you're not interested in online dating, yet you are suffering from the very reason that online dating exists in the first place.

This -

Finally it's weekend, I can do all the things I wanted to do all week long but simply didn't have time for

No one has time. As each decade grinds by, we are busier and busier trying to keep food on the table and pay the rent.

This is why "online dating" is no longer the Domain of the Creep it once was. All sorts of people use it.

A few sensible ground rules and you will be on your way to a full, active and healthy dating life if you just relax your attitude a little.

You are not the only single, lonely, exhausted young human out there.

Look, you're asking randoms for advice on the net, right? So what's so bad about meeting someone on the net?

What is it with this forum's obsession with joining social clubs? I swear that seems to be the answer to everything


You feel terrible loneliness? Join a social club
You Injured yourself? Join a social club
You have aids? Join a social club


What exactly goes on in these mixed bowling leagues anyways?
