Agreed.

As long as one doesn't go in with the mindset of meeting someone for dating purposes. A lot of people in those clubs or groups are there to enjoy the activity(s) with other like-minded individuals. If you meet someone that is interested in you great but don't let that be the main motivator b/c you could end up being disappointed.

i really havent given this guy any thought aside from wondering what happened. believe me, i have been thinking about more things like cupcakes and days of our lives.
women do the same things to guys
act like they are into you and then you never hear from again


the heck with him and wait for the next one

I have some good friends where the woman is Jewish and her husband is Lebanese and they are expecting a baby any day now. Been married for about 5 years.

Thing is, you never know what you like until try it. People are so hung up on certain things that it really does limit and shrinks the universe for them.

I absolutely agree with you! Hence the "ya never know!"

You look an awful lot like the girl from "Mythbusters" tv show. With that being said, we can all agree that most guys will find you physically attractive, which also means, that you have no problem attracting and getting attention from guys so I am thinking that the problem could be with you. You come across here as being a bit of a drama queen and feed off of the attention you get. I think a little introspection is in order.

There will be none of this "Oh, I dont want to lower my standards...." b.s. that a lot of people talk about because you wont know enough about someone in just 3 hours (or evern 2-3 dates) to determine if they meet your standards or not.

Some things you should do:

1. Move out of your parents home. You said you still live with your parents in where Chatsworth? Granada Hills? Spread your wings and move to Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Westside where you'll be on your own or with a roomie.

2. Stop just looking for Jewish guys. You dont seem to be practicing or all that active yourself. So open up a bit to others. You live in the north valley but go all the way to Jewish center in LA when there are plenty here close to you? Something is not adding up here. LA is one of the most diverse places in the world. Why shrink your universe by limiting your experiences with ONLY someone from a certain group of people? You may meet a really nice Lebanese or Irish guy that you get along great with and have lots in common, so open up.

3. Get a hobby. Do something that will allow you to get out and meet other people. Take up martial arts, yoga, join a hiking club, something that will give you the opportunity to meet new people and do new things.

I think lot of people here are giving you attention because you're pretty and everyone loves a pretty girl. If you looked like Shirley from "Whats Happening" Im 100% sure that miu (and others) would not even bother. Im just being honest and trying to help you because you seem to really need it and you seem to really want it.
1. moving-right now i am saving money by living with my parents because i dont plan on leaving the area until june. i think it would be foolish now to move out, spend money, and then move out less than a year later. in september-june of next year, i am working on call because i start an unpaid internship.
also even if i were to move, i dont like the areas you listed at all. if i were to stay in la, i could only see myself in certain parts of echo park and the fairfax area, but i want out period.
2. jewish guys- look i am not in the stage of my life anymore where i will just date someone for the intention of having fun. i am looking for something serious that could lead to marriage. i dont want to compromise my religious beliefs should it come to marriage, and i dont think whoever i am seeing should have to as well.
3. i have hobbies. i hike, travel, go out to restaurants, go to amusement parks, read, and write.

i have no idea who this person is on mythbusters. i post on the relationship forum because i would like feedback on things and to share my experiences. if that is a drama queen, so be it. this is stuff i talk about with friends, but it is always interesting to hear the perspective of people who dont know me.

If we went out once I think I might be able to look over some of her shortcomings.
