Damn, there are some jerks on here. Not you, OP.

My last date was in fall of 2009. This lasted for about 4 months. I won't elaborate, and can say nothing bad about her. She had a MBA, is Catholic, and is of the same ethnicity. On paper, it looked good. I wanted her birthday to pass, and then called her up a week later to say it wasn't going to work out. I don't have the energy to play this game. Games are for kids and/or those who have that level of energy. I don't.

Your post makes no sense. At least to me. If you don't hook up (yeah, that term again) with someone you casually got to know in school or at work, the dating game SUCKS. Period. Who the **** wants to sit there at Starbucks or at some chain restaurant asking these interview like questions? Have at it, folks.

Read what you wrote, then read what I wrote, and it will make sense.

Anyway, if you approach dating like a job interview or game that always has winners and losers, with nothing to learn from it, of course it is going to suck.

I rejected all women by not making myself more desirable to them. It would have been relatively straightforward to do things like clean up my appearance and style and lift weights and do other things that make women attracted to men, but I decided not to do these things.

I rejected all women by not trying to learn where to meet women, and by not doing social activities.

I rejected all women by not asking out those I've met in the past and thought about asking out, because of fear of being rejected myself, or because of simply not wanting to be in a relationship and using fear of rejection as one good reason to avoid them.
I think he's rejecting all women. I could be wrong.

I don't want to be in a relationship with somebody telling me what to do, and having to share my time all the time, and stuff like that.
Generally speaking, when two people are in a (healthy) relationship, there is give and take from both sides. No one wants to be in a relationship where they are putting forth all the effort. It isn't fair, isn't respectful, isn't loving, isn't healthy.

Or it could be the other way around and this is his way of coping?
