Tired of Being Single

Quote From: skwirl

YEP!!! It's all about the individual, not the sexual orientation. Is that what I meant to say? Cuz it sounds kinda funny. I mean it's not that it's women or men, it's the individual, the HUMAN!!! Yeah, that's better!
Yeah, I think sexual orientaion is more sexuality than sex.  Ya know like sexual preference.

Tired of Being Single

Quote From: hobart7

Sounds like we are twins huh? My ex was controling also. She would get mad if I forgot anything to.  This was the last 3 years of the marrage. She turned like rabies or something? Now she talks to be like things were ok, and so polite. We have our daughter to bring up. If we did not I would never talk to her again thats for sure. I do not think ANYONE should treat the person they claimed to love that way! I am so happy to hear that your as healthy as you can be now that your divorce has fixed the problem. I had to quite drinking beer for around 7 or 8 years. Turns out that I drank to loose the thoughts of her mouth. I have resumed drinking again, and being light headed (only) at home is ok now.  HAve you been able to drink beer now? I am even more relaxed to. Wow Life is great, but wish I could find a women that wants me for me, and not to customize me like Frankenstine. God Bless.   Randy

The thing about controlling people is that if we didn't let them do it, then they couldn't do it! I was always afraid that if I didn't comply with whatever he wanted that he would get mad and leave me. You could have never told me that I would be the one to leave him. The thing is, if I would have stood up for myself more, instead of crying and whining about it all the time, he would have had a little respect for me and we might still be together. Oh, well, you know what they say about hind-sight! I made good money cutting hair and I gave him every bit of it. He wouldn't even give me $10 a week allowance!!! It was just stupid. Anyway, none of that matters anymore as long as I have learned from it and don't repeat the same mistakes again.

Most definitely, I love my beer. I can eat whatever and whenever I want and I have no problems at all. It was all stress, and once I ended that all the symptoms went with it.

Tired of Being Single

Quote From: kbbmr2007

Boyfriend............ RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. Seriously tho sounds to me that she has a major fear about it happening again with someone new. The "old" man? Well he's safe he's someone she already knows what to expect, you? Your new she's not sure like waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's not you hon she's afraid, she's using that stuff about what she grew up with to hide behind. That's why she kept saying to you over and over again "and don't forget I have an ex and don't forget I have kids" she was trying to scare you off that way she'd feel better safe. This is a problem she will have to work out for herself, she's been so burned she can't let herself trust in something good. You can tell her and show her till your blue in the face that you love her and your willing to stick around, and most men wouldn't, but what she has to deal with you can't do for her. At some point, if she's pushed you away till you've had enough and your gone, she'll realize what a huge mistake she's made and at some point she'll dump that bum for good. All I can say to you hon is good luck and if things don't work out you will find the right woman as you can see there's a ton of us dieing for a good man don't waste it on a woman who can't appreciate you.
Glad to see your trying to help someone, and OMG its a guy!  I almost don't want to tell you that you replied to a post that's like a year old.  But I'm sure if he was still around to read it he'd appreciate it.

Hey great to see  your reply . It was fast to. Anyway. thats what I did to. Just did it in hopes she would shut her trap, and let me get along. I have a worlds amount of respect for women, and what they can do for this world. I am being a man when I say this, but it's wit hthe most respect also.  I love to look at them. I do so with respect, and I do not feel being rude about that is even close to ok. I like I said have respect for women, and thats what anyone deserves. I think I need to go get a beer. God Bless. Randy

Hey I think it has to do with the first meeting of the two sexes. there is the first that is sexual, but then it leads you to talk, and see if there is compaitblity. One women was so thinking that it was not. she said that it was you just walked to a person, and ask then to talk, and the first look was not it. She has some thinking to do. If  your attracted to someone you will then go to them to talk Right?

Sorry, when I said "I think," I wasn't really uncertain.  It just sounded better that way, I should have just said "it is."  Here is a definition: "the direction of somebody's sexual desire, toward people of the opposite sex, people of the same sex, or people of both sexes."  But I like your effort, it definitely makes sense, if you just try to combine the two seperate definitions of the words together.  Well, sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, just got my words screwed up. Glad you could find what I meant in all that jibberish!  Basically what I was trying to say is, there are jerks in both sexes, all men aren't jerks and all women aren't jerks. It's the indivudal and has nothing to do with what sex they are. Now wonder why that was so hard for me to say when I first posted it? Too much beer maybe?

Tired of Being Single

Quote From: slayereve

Maybe, but I feel like guys will never like me, because I'm not good enough...and I don't know what to do or how to change, so that I can be who they want in a girlfriend.

That's your first problem, your goal is not to be what someone else wants in a girlfriend, just find out who you are and be yourself. Go and do the things you enjoy and one day someone will walk into your life and you'll discover that the two of you enjoy a lot of the same things, therefore both of you can be yourselves. 

  

Are there things that you've never done before but always wanted to, new things to learn, new places to see?? Discover what those things are and go and do them. 

  

Also, if you don't think you're good enough then why should someone else? You give out a vibe whether you realize it or not. People can sense your low esteem and dislike for yourself. You need to discover and love yourself before finding someone to share your life with you.

I'm not too convinced by this! The boyfriends I've got on best with in the past have been a year younger than me, and recently a male friend who is only 5 years older than me said that I was "much younger than him"!

 

I have never had a boyfriend my own age, only younger or much older guys seem to be interested in dating me. Something about my youthful apptroach to life seems to put them off, as they're all busy trying to make it in their careers in their mid-thirties, and I just want to enjoy life without being a slave to the wage :-) Not that I'm flaky, I'm responsible enough to have always had a job and payed my own way, it's just not the top priority of my existence to make it big in business..

 

Maybe this is off-putting to guys but I don't really understand why.

Everyone is different when it comes to the age of the people you date. Personally, I have always been attracted to older guys (not 10 to 15 yrs) I'm talking more 4-8yrs older. But then I have some friends who have always dated guys younger than them and some that date the same age as them.  

  

I look a lot younger than I am, high energy, and love to live life, I'm not a slave either. The key is finding someone who has the same interests in life and you are in the same place in life.
