In that case, I think it is a good idea for you to leave women alone for the time being, if not for the duration. You seem to have the wrong attitude (meaning, no empathy, living inside your head, it's all about you, etc.) to be a good partner to someone else.

This is likely part of the issue.

Yes, I get it. I'm a terrible human being. Thanks for your wonderful insights throughout.

More tears and drama! My goodness, you remind me of my teenaged daughter.

Jesus, 24!!!

No wonder. Of course she isn't serious and she is playing around. She's a kid!

I would hope that a 24 yo would be focused on career and having a good time, not finding a LTR.

You don't understand sarcasm. Essentially, I was politely asking you to **** off.

Thanks!

Yeah, okay. So where does that leave someone in their late 20s looking for a partner? Haha.

Damned if you are, damned if you aren't.

That said, you seem to have a completely different mentality about relationships than most everyone I know. The people I know don't have rules about when they should consider a LTR and when they shouldn't. There are plenty of people out there who'd consider a good LTR in their 20s if it came along.

You should look into women your age who want the same thing. Very few 23 year olds are truly ready for a commitment. Those who do are far more bold and less fickle than your current interest. She seems to just want casual fun.

Lots of 29 year olds in good relationships. Age isnt the issue, its tact and compatibility.

She's like five years younger than me. It's not like I have a decade on her. But I guess it can't hurt to consider all possibilities.
