Well, at 32 I hope you are beyond defining yourself through a relationship...

Enjoy life, mate.

I don't think many people here would categorise you as a failure, Jersey.

So that's what you do every night in your bed too? Gets mad.

Youre not jaded. I think thats normal. I think if you are single as you get older, youre standards do get higher, because for instance when youre 18 and you havent had much experience of anything, youll take what you can get, but by the time youre, say 39, youve put up with all that before and youre sick of it. I think thats perfectly normal. Its just harder to accept those standards getting higher because as you get older you slowly realise/become convinced that the perfection you want doesnt exist. Its completely imbalanced and it keeps you from your happiness but hey, I didnt write the rules.

It doesnt sound like too much to ask for to me either. Youre never the only one - even if youre still single at 60 that doesnt mean theres not an abundance of other single 60 year old gay men! Who said that just because we get older we all get paired off? Id like to see some statistics about that because there are plenty of single people of all ages, who have had just as much luck as you.

We all want movie love dont we?! I know I do! All I tell myself is that at the very least Im sure I have a few more in between relationships or even "real" relationships to get through, thats enough for me to looks forward to. But im rather a lot younger than you.... (22)

have faith, theres nothing else you can do but that to get you out of bed every morning.


Why did I write so much?

onenitealone said:

Same here. I've also considered losing weight to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

No, you tell him girl!

Miguel, I certainly hope you're not jaded because you're a wonderful person who deserves every bit of happiness. Any man who doesn't see that is a fool.

And you, susannah, deserve every ounce of happiness too. Whether it comes in the form of a boyfriend or not. You're a Grade A sweetheart.

But I totally understand that longing for 'movie love'. I think, secretly, deep down we all hope it'll happen like that. Especially since these things are usually out of our control. But I think it's usually down to chance and being in the right place at the right time. A combination of factors. But there's nothing wrong with dreaming, eh?

For you both ----->

Cinny, PLEASE don't say that. If you do it, do it for yourself, not because of some shallow asshole who's only interested in one thing. You're worth far more than that.

onenitealone said:

I just think some people can't "see" how awesome I am.

I hear ya.

onenitealone said:

got nothing better to add but a huge cosign to all of it

Alun,

you are in the wrong business!! Thank you for your kind words. I still have some hope left. If it doesn't happen, I'm still very happy having my friends around. The people I have surrounded myself with will be around forever.

Hi Babycakes,



What I would give to be having dinner with you at that Italian place off of Trafalgar Square(?), although they did take a little long.

xxooxx

at 27 years, i have had 8 relationships, and a few more girlfriends on top of that.

i was very busy in high school, but not at my studies.

been stuck on this last one for 7 years now (with a couple of breaks here and there). can't shake her off!

i've learnt more from this current one than all combined though... so much so that my dating days are well and truly long gone...

getting married later this year!

Don't let it bother you. It's hard to find top quality women these days.

Maybe you should switch to guys, spats.

Spats said:

It doesn't really. I always go for girls with issues, and I've made a conscious decision to stop that actually.

Just when I thought I might have had a chance.
