deux ex machina Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 You're just not in the headspace for it right now. When you're ready, you will. It's good to have that kind of insight into where you're at. Don't let anyone try to get you to go out with someone if you are simply not in the right space to do it. I'm not going to be dating for quite some time. When I'm ready, I will. I'm finding I like just doing my own thing.
kizik Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I must say I am encouraged by the amount of people in this thread enjoying their single status. Sometimes I feel like the only single person in the world. Loving this thread, except for the one psycho-babble poster.

And I just wanna be left alone! It's not that I don't want to date for a long period of time, it's just that I want a breather. When it's right I will know.

So find yourself a FWB to tide you over while you contemplate re-entering the dating pool.

Yukikazi Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 There you go again, toying with my affections! I believe in keeping things warm... Ya know.. like I baseball with the pitchers wearing a jacket so their pitching arm stays limber..
donnamaybe Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 So its just the dating that you got an issue with.. ok.. So find yourself a FWB to tide you over while you contemplate re-entering the dating pool. I wouldn't advise doing that. I thought it would be a great solution for me back when I was "through with men," but then the FWB I hooked up with fell in love. It turned very ugly.
D-Jam Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I always get a kick out of the women who sit there and demean men in general. Making us all out to be beer-swilling horny animals who will gladly take any warm, moist hole we can to put our manhood into. I like how these same women then speak of how they can easily score a date every night of the week and how it's not hard to get men to do whatever they want, further demeaning us into being idiots. Then you step back and look at this woman...she's alone...been alone...hasn't found her mythical ideal of "Mr Right". Oh she'll make excuses claiming no male has shown himself to be a "real man" to her and such...but forget to mention the few guys she thought were the "perfect men", only they didn't want her. Maybe they bypassed her for someone younger, hotter, and less "bitchy". This isn't aimed at all women here, but those who decide to get on your Sex and the City "Let's bash men in general" high horse...if you want us men to not lie to you and to respect you, then it goes both ways. I give women respect when they treat me as an adult. If they automatically look down at me because I have a penis, then I just walk and not be surprised they are alone. No one loves a bitch.

Author Waitress Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 I think she knows I'm not being serious Hey! I thought you were making me an offer! Kidding. I knew he was goofing but thanks for giving the good advice on not trying FWB. I did it a couple of times and it wasn't that great. I'd rather be alone in the interim.

I am not sure what LS would do without the truthful prose of D-Jam. You f*ckin rock, buddy.
CaliGuy Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I hear ya. There really isn't much out there at all but sometimes it all feels like too much, so go figure. I don't dislike men, just sick of the whole thing more than anything. So what you do for now is FORGET about meeting someone and let it happen (or not) naturally and don't get wound up by it. Besides, the people you're going to find the most interesting are people you have spent some time with personally (via work, friends, hobbies, etc) anyway!
