mortensorchid Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I went out last night to a BBQ at a friend's house. I have been favoring leaving my regular social circles and trying to throw myself into a new pool of people if just for a little while. I had a nice evening, me and this one guy seemed to connect that night. He seemed nice, he seemed to have things together (job, house, car, etc.). And I was happy to say he initiated the conversation with ME rather than my approaching him. Then he told me he and his girlfriend of seven years had just broken up and he moved out of the house six months ago. I immediately realized this was a lost cause, because in no way, shape or form was he going to ask for my number. And I was right. When I said my good-byes, he just shook my hand and said "Nice meeting you, see you around". So I went home and went to bed. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect wherever I go that someone's just going to appear and fall all over me, but I got my hopes up for a second with him. Wonder if he could see it on my face? Ah well. Life goes on. Just needed to vent.
Butterflying Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 This happens to me aaaaaall the time. Wish I could say it gets easier; but I'm merely posting to let you know you're not the only one dealing with this.
SmileFace Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Ugh, I feel for ya. I was home doing HW all weekend, looking forward to my plans next week. To only realize that my friends are dragging me to a male strip show. Which means a bunch of horny women and nasty ass strippers. No decent guys to talk to -FUUUUU!
willowthewisp Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I know this feeling too. I recently met someone who is not long out of their relationship, he asked for my number (I knew him years back so gave it to him), now he has made it clear he only wants a friend. I'm fine with that, i don;t want to be someones rebound, no way! However, it is so frustrating, why can I not just meet someone who is ready and avaliable? So I get why that was depressing for you, feel for you and wish there was some advice I can give, but sadly, I do not know the way forward either, there seems to be a lack of men?????
willowthewisp Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Hi RedRussian, Not sure if you were referring to me or the OP? But if me, then he's out of luck, I don't do casual sex, all he is getting from me and has gotten from me is platonic friendship, nothing more.
