Well, that certainly wasn't the intent of the poll.

It was stated the 'friends option', looks would be variable, which we both know what that means ...

I'll be honest, I have my doubts about the results too.

In terms of your comment on age, it sure as hell doesn't get better in your 40s. Even more people will be taken, and you'll have definitely lost something off however attractive you are now...

I don’t bare my soul or get deep wurh many people. I have tons of acquaintances but maybe 4 or 5 real close friends.

It’s why as much as she has issues I was so attatched to my friend. We have an amazing a connection she’s beautiful she’s physically attracted to me but won’t date me for certain reasons.
She's probably not physically attracted to you. Or she may be physically attracted to you, but not attracted to you in other ways.

Would be good to meet someone nocturnal at some point or just someone who is really easy going and likes me enough to not be bothered by it.

I am shortly moving to Spain permanently which is a more nocturnal culture than where I am currently.

JBT you made it sound like no woman has ever liked you or looked at you! If your friend is genuinely attracted to you but chooses not to pursue it for other reasons, then your situation can't be that hopeless

Ehh she’s told me I’m cute a few times and while that could be just too be nice she told my friends girlfriend that she was sexually attracted to me and I don’t see what reason she’d make that up to her for.


As far as not being attracted to me in other ways I can’t answer that only she can. The dude she’s with now is no looker and weird as hell but he has money and she’s with him because she’s paying for her daughter to go to college starting next year and needs is low on money because if it

Well at least that’s her excuse that it’s because I’m kinda friends with her ex husband still. I’m met her through him.

I’ve had about 3 women I’ve known initiating making out with me including her but they were all drunk so i don’t think it really counts

Lookit. The poll option meant that you value your lover’s ability to be a bosom companion to you, rather than a provider/dream specimen/solid rearing partner. 60% of people want their lovers to be friends also. Not, 60% want their friends to be lovers. We all know what it means when a love interest says “Aww, you’re such a great friend!”

Best of luck to you there. Is your condition treatable? I’ve never heard of it.

Thanks.

It only responds to sleeping pills or cannabis but doctors where I live won't prescribe sleeping pills more than one time as they can be addictive and I don't know anyone who can supply me with the right strain of cannabis, plus it's not legal where I live. Maybe I should be moving to Colorado instead of Spain. Lol.
