DustySaltus Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 The dating world has become a minefield filled with many clingers, flakes, career students, druggies, rebounders, cheaters, players, gold diggers, psychiatric case studies, momma's boys, girls with daddy issues, people with no class, serial texters, facebook stalkers, myspace marauders, twittering tools, alcoholics, people with no direction, people with too much on their plate, 30 year adolescents and the anti-hygenic. And of course, once you've negotiated yourself through this minefield and find someone that suits you they turn out to have a BF or a GF. It's tough out there.
alphamale Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 why do you think so many people stay in bad relationships?
Ms. Joolie Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 "...psychiatric case studies... girls with daddy issues... people with too much on their plate... " I'm lovable too!

Sadly, we all have to dig throught the $hit to get to the pot of gold. I'm still looking. Somedays I give up, and feel destined to be single forever.. Most nice guys I meet are wanna be players or married or in LTR. Oh well, back to the digging, my pot of gold is out there somewhere (over the rainbow)
Author DustySaltus Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 You forgot the multi-daters. Can't leave those out . Here's a few more: 1) Baby Daddy/Mama drama 2) Intellectuals who look down upon others not as smart as them. 3) People who are "tired" all the time 4) People who can never hang out on the weekends, only at odd times like "tuesday at 1:45pm....meet me at the back of the white castle" 5) Vegans (yeah it's a cheap date, but don't keep asking me how am I going to eat my steak 50 times lol. Just venting here.
Ms. Joolie Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Okay now you're getting too picky, Dusty............ And don't be telling yourself it's hard out there! I think relationships are largely a growth process. If you aren't willing to help a person grow, and you hope to find that 'perfect person' for you, well you bet it's hard out there! You sound disheartened, but maybe you have to just separate the novelty about relationships from the real deal. In other words, of COURSE people have their issues! You are just telling yourself it's hard because you don't want to deal with relationships.
Author DustySaltus Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 You are just telling yourself it's hard because you don't want to deal with relationships. Believe it or not i'm actually with someone at the moment.
Ms. Joolie Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Believe it or not i'm actually with someone at the moment. Oh you've found somebody out there. ..Then stop telling us it's hard! lol
Author DustySaltus Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 Oh you've found somebody out there. ..Then stop telling us it's hard! lol Yeah, but I don't know if it's what I want long term, still trying to figure it out. But when I think of things like this and what I've experienced in the past, it makes you think ya know? And you're a sweetie joolie...not part of that minefield lol
Ms. Joolie Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Yeah, but I don't know if it's what I want long term, still trying to figure it out. But when I think of things like this and what I've experienced in the past, it makes you think ya know? And you're a sweetie joolie...not part of that minefield lol Awww.. thanks. O=) So you're not certain about who you've got, but uncomfortable in letting go and searching again?
boogieboy Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 You really should find out if someones involved before getting attached to them dusty.
Lucky555 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I needed a good laugh today! This post was great! I think you left one out COMMITMENT PHOBES! ya..
Author DustySaltus Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 You really should find out if someones involved before getting attached to them dusty. Always have, always will. I'm just saying that it's tough to find exactly what you're looking for because they are already taken. Its a timing issue.
mella Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I just started another thread asking how to know when you are ready to date after an LTR. Your thread makes me scared of stepping out there! Makes me feel like I am getting ready to cross the street during heavy traffic!
TouchedByViolet Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Its a timing issue. I agree 100%. So much of life is a timing issue. Thinking back to my exgf and old friends the relationships developed because it was the right time for things to come together.

Thinking back to my exgf and old friends the relationships developed because it was the right time for things to come together. Life in general is all about timing. The older one gets the more clear it becomes.
