The Singles Life
Posted: 05-06-08 23:36pm

Hello there everyone. I am actually not very sure why I am here, or very sure about anything for that matter. I guess I need some help.

Let's start. I am 22 years old - never been kissed (obviously you can deduct other ideas from this). I am not an ugly guy by any standards, and I feel very confident around people. I have plenty of friends - male and female, and am very happy with being myself around people. I haven't met anyone I have an interest in that has an interest in me tho!

It seems the people I always go for are those who "don't want a relationship now" or are already in one! I don't think it is right to just date someone for kicks - I want to be attracted to her and vice versa. It is a waste of time if both people aren't in it 100%. I am not going for very "hot" women either, just the cute, quiet, sort of shy type. I take care of my body, and I prefer people who do the same. I don't think I am being very shallow by saying that, am I?

My main problem is that I made a promise to myself long ago that I wouldn't settle - ever, am I making a mistake by thinking this? I have had women who are attracted with me, a few who just wanted to sleep with me, but I felt nothing. So I never jumped on anything. I kinda feel like an english major in a 400 level math class (sorry bout the analogy, i am a college student hehe). Completely clueless about how to go about things. I know that it sucks being alone tho, but is it worth it to settle than to be alone?

You are going to cause me competition ! Very
Happy

Anyway I have partially the same way to see things as you do.
However I did already have a first love (still often thinking of her) ; and I also did twice date girls I wasn't completely into. In both cases, it wasn't worth it. It's more frustration at the end than benefits in the beginning.
The first time was for the wrong reason: forgetting the person I still think of.
The second time was more out of curiosity: what if the spark comes after the first meetings? The spark never came for me. It did work for a friend of mine though, he tried the same thing.
I won't even start about one night stands, never done that but I think my mind won't accept it. Maybe if I get drunk, but that's just as rare as a reliable government in Belgium.

Anyway after that, I made a promise that's a bit like yours.

However though there's no need to look like your ...English...major.. or whatever. Minds do change, so if one day you're like "Frost it, I'll date and see where it goes", so be it. It's not your promise that rules you, you're allowed to cancel it when you want it. I'm not pushing you to jump on any train though! I'm just saying having a promise is nice, but it's not like a sentimental movie everyone's watching, only you are aware of the promise you talk about.
So, you actually may want to say to your "potential her" about your promise, it might filter out those who really want you from those who want your genitals.

Stick with it but don't let it control you.


I'm 21.3333 years old since 2 days and male since forever.
