What I honestly don't understand more than anything is why I find so many guys that are afraid and don't want to commit. Or they are too selfish, too much of a momma's boy, too into their career....I am nice, caring, thoughtful, and all I want is to find someone who will love me for who I am. I love me for me, how come no one else can? I'm not gross, I take care of myself, I'm lots of fun, good personality, I'm a hard worker, responsible...I have a lot of good qualities to share, and no one to share with. Which makes me feel like there is something wrong with me and I just don't recognize it. I don't get it? I hope to get married someday, not anytime soon, but one day I hope. I feel like that day is never going to ever happen for me.
There is nothing wrong with you. You are a very good catch that any guy would be lucky to have and any mom would approve of - that's scary to an insecure man. You're too good and you've probably had men tell you this, I did. When a man tells you you're too good for him, believe him and run the other direction - trust me they know what they're talking about. Date for fun only - not to look for a mate, do things that make you happy, and eventually you'll run into the one who will appreciate you for who you are and things will work out. I've walked in your shoes, got pretty banged up and discouraged, and finally at 31 it happened for me - I met Mr. Right. I didn't recognize him at first because he wasn't what I pictured, but he was persistent and patient and eventually I figured it out. We've been married 20 years now, have two kids, and life is sweet. It will happen for you - just give it time.

Back up a bit and go back to friends. Maybe date around and share a bit of your adventures with him. He may think you are just sitting and waiting and that may overwhelm him. Starting a new job for a guy seems to take all of their time, especially when they are young.
You had a good friendship and maybe you both need to back up and just enjoy that at this stage.

When he 'blames you' for all that went wrong in the relationship, for causing the problems, for changing into someone he didn't know, HIS INSECURE LITTLE CHILD IS SCREAMING AT YOU! ITS NOT MY FAULT IT HAS TO BE YOURS!

Don't let him remain a stain in the couch you cannot get rid of.

Believe in yourself, believe you will be with someone you want to be with, believe there is happiness, love, and respect ahead of you, and it will happen.

Yeah, too much browsing and comparison shopping doesn't always lead to getting the best goods.
