Topic : Tired of Being Single

Well, girls, I did it-MY way, and on MY terms. 

I found a wonderful woman who is half Russian, half Armenian-and, before you give me the "she's only here for the green card" line, she's been in this country for fifteen years.

She takes great care of me, as she's a great cook.  I take great care of her, as I back her up.

Another kick in the ovaries for feminism and another victory for the patriarchy.

To those of you who haven't yet learned that it should be done the man's way, I wish you luck in your lonely world-because men win when they act like themselves instead of the mice some of you want us to be. 

Spasiba, Vlinderby!

I appreciate the congratulations.  YOU and ONE OTHER WOMAN on this board were the only ones who seemed to understand where I was coming from.  I appreciate your congrats.

Spasiba is Russian for 'thank you'.

I am 23 years-old, and recently found a job through a summer youth program. I work at a food bank. This is where I met a guy I will call "Joe." Joe and I have been flirting, but the last few days it kind of wound down. I could see it in his eyes that he was thinking about not starting a relationship with me. He told me to give it time several weeks ago, and so I figured that I was being paranoid about the look in his eyes, because I am self-conscious. I am upset because I have been very distrustful of relationships, and then I meet "Joe," who is good looking, intelligent, and nice. I have lost a lot of respect for him, as he had none for me. Instead of talking with me privately, he had a conversation with other co-workers behind my back, then had another guy "Ben" tell me that he wasn't interested in a relationship. Am I disappointed, yes; do I respect his wishes? Definately. My problem, is that either a guy flirts, but doesn't ask me out; other guys only make comments about my body, so I avoid relationships with them (most times). I haven't dated in 2 years; my last date broke up with me the day after Valentine's Day, and I have never had an actual boyfriend, though my younger sisters and brother have had long term relationships. I am wonder, what am I doing wrong? What am I supposed to do to attract a good looking, intelligent, and nice man. What is wrong with me?

Thanx.  Don't know yet, but will keep you posted. 

I have practice my Russian metal axe skills so I can shock her at Guitar Center in Sherman Oaks.
