No disrespect to your father, BUT, not all people are cut out to be parents. The smart ones do us all a favor by not having kids when they realize that parenthood isn't for them. It is NOT selfish to not have kids - in fact, many people who should not have them, SELFISHLY DO.
I do go out occasionally, sometimes to the beach, getting someting to eat, or hanging out with my cousin.

If a see a fine girl, I usually shy away. Like I said, I'm very suspicious.

I would never date a woman who has or wants children. That's just me. I know a guy who's like that too.

When I made the decision that I never wanted children, I thought my search for a childfree girl would be easy.
Don't put the cart before the horse - why don't you see if you can find a girl to have relationship with before you think of ending it immediately okay?

The thing is, you sound like you are expecting a relationship to be like a fast sports car - to go from zero to 100 in no time flat. The truth is, if you TAKE SOME TIME TO GET TO KNOW A GIRL before you date her you would have a chance to let them know how you feel about not having kids well before you even get into a relationship.

You don't have to have a job to get a woman. Just do a search on all the women who got fed up with their loser husbands who never got a job after years of marraige.

And like Jimbo said if you're a student, not having a job is ok! I mean if you are really involved with your studies then there is not a thing wrong with not having time for a job.

And you sure don't have to have the burden of a car. You don't need the car payment, matenance issues, insurance, gas bill, etc etc. A motorcycle on the sunny days and a bus pass on the rainy days will do you fine my friend. And these methods of transport are getting more popular by the day. I'm considering getting a motorcycle myself!

What is keeping you from getting a driver's license? While it's not a pre-requisite to dating, you seem to really want one.

Did you fail the written part or the driving part? Do you have a car to practice on?

Instead of focusing on being in an LTR right now, I think you should focus on college, part-time employment and getting a driver's license since that is important to you. All of those things will give you some confidence and may help you stop being so suspicious of everyone. Being in school and working are also both good ways to meet girls, although you probably won't meet too many at a construction site. I'm sure that's not what you want to hear, but at this point your standards are very strict and you are not putting yourself in a position to meet anyone, much less a girl you could date. Getting out in the world a bit may give you some perspective on girls and relationships.
