The single life is great. Don't get me wrong, don't have to cook dinner for two, don't have to expect phone calls at certain times, don't have to take turns paying for somebody else's dinner, or movie ticket, don't have to buy extra special gifts for that special person in your life, more money in your pockets, etc.

but i'm sought of sick of being by myself. I have great fun going shopping for myself, and watching movies by myself....but it seems that i go different places with my friends (and i'm sick of hanging out with my female friends now, they are getting on my nerves) in an effort to look for guys but no luck. I've been hooked up with guys who at first seemed to spark my curiosity, but after a while I just found that they are either crazy in the head, too needy, or desperate for sex. And I usually find out all these things within 3 weeks of knowing them.

What the hell else am I suppose to do?

The Internet has, how do you say, eleveated a lot of my 'single-guy' frustrations.

How ya doin?

missfee said:

I'm available for no-strings-sex!

StDrew said:

is this by talking to them online and swapping photos...??? then eventually meeting in person?

Where have you tried to meet men? At Church? Clubs? I would go with church at least you know that if you find a friend there-they're trying to be right and that's a good start . Personally I love being single wouldn't change it for anything .

It's never perfect. Sometimes I envy single folks, but I remember some terrible single days.

church is the last place where I would try to meet a guy. Most of the guys in my church are players..some are even married and are bold enough to date other women in the congregation knowing that they got a family....it's crazy. but this is why i don't trust men from church, because i've seen all of this first hand myself. when when i go to clubs, the guys there just want a "hot sex on a platter" one nighter...they aren't looking for someone to just chill with.

and i mean i've seen the ugliest, most sloppiest women with the most respectful good looking guys..it's rediculous....

it almost has me thinking "should i go out the house with an attitude in my bedroom slippers too"? is this what it takes?

missfee said:

Well, there are posers in church too and that's truly sad . I'm not a person who goes to clubs so I wouldn't even make that an option either. What about some of your friends-I know they may want to introduce you to someone ? You know older folks always say for that special someone to be sent 2 U and nowadays that seems like the right thing 2 do. You are taking a chance if you meet people any other way.

missfee said:

I would hope not, but I know what you mean. I see people with their mates and I wonder what the hell is going on-if they can get a great person why can't you or I. I blame it on them big-booty freaks (sorry Luxury).

I never ever ever been single. It's seems like sooooo much fun. I want to be single.

Doing good, dont see you on the IM anymore...

luv4all7 said:

Were you married young, or you always had a boyfriend?

missfee said:

Sure, let's go with that.

NDRU said:

Always had a stupid boyfriend. ALWAYS. I got married at 21.

StDrew said:

I'm never on.

luv4all7 said:

You're still young, maybe you'll be single someday. But probably not for long. Part of the fun of being single is meeting people, which often ends the single-ness.

NDRU said:

Yeah. You kill me with your ability to rationalize sometimes. Oh and I'm wrong, i got married at 22.

Being single is nice because it gives you the time to grow and to change in ways you're afraid of shocking your partner with, but the silence can be devastatingly lonely.

NDRU said:

Yeah, where was all this advice 5 years ago.....

luv4all7 said:

I was typing it. Where were you?

NDRU said:

In the back of an S10 Pick Up, I suppose.

luv4all7 said:

Sounds kinda like something single people do.

NDRU said:

Nahhhhh, I was totally engaged, come to think of it. And not to my husband either.....

luv4all7 said:

wait...five years ago...I'm doing math...you married your husband really quickly? Yes, I remember now, you didn't give me details though.

NDRU said:

Yeah. We jumped in pretty quick. I don't recommend it to those of you watching at home. (AND NOOOOO I wasn't knocked up!)

Huh.....this thread is becoming to about me.....Sorry missfee, I'm really envious though, of the singleness.

It is a lot of fun, and really easy. I have no plans on being in lockdown for some time.

And I don't feel lonely at all.

NDRU said:

this is my problem.
