mortensorchid Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I have decided that I am going to hang it up. Despite the fact that others assure that it's going to happen, I feel alone and isolated even though there are so many around me. I have a lot of friends and activities I am interested in, online dating is just a waste of time (but that's based on my experiences with OKCupid in the past few months) where you just get into pen pal situations with others. I may as well just give up, I can't stand it anymore. Meet some guy and he's either not interested, has some stupid reason why they can't be with you and want the trash next to you, or gay. Feed up and angry with the world.
Mme. Chaucer Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Sounds like a very good time to take a break and enjoy the positive things in your life. 4
Ruby Slippers Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 You've always struck me from your posts as an intelligent, thoughtful, caring woman. But I do also see a lot of cynicism and doubt coming through in what you write. Attitude is such a big factor, as we totally attract the same energy we're projecting. Change yourself, change your whole world. And change doesn't mean something hard or dramatic. Change happens in tiny, incremental, daily steps - two steps forward, one step back. I'm sure you have a lot of love to give and receive, and I hope you don't give up on that. 2

Feed up and angry with the world. I totally know the feeling, mortensorchid. And I feel exactly the same way. About to throw in the towel. I won't tell you not to, only because I completely agree with you and am just as fed up with the lame excuses that men come up with to avoid commitment, as you are. That's all. Just thought that I'd show my sympathy and let you know that there are others out there who feel the same way.
oaks Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 online dating is just a waste of time (but that's based on my experiences with OKCupid in the past few months) where you just get into pen pal situations with others. So why do you waste their time like this? (perhaps you meant it from a different perspective, but it works both ways) To avoid becoming pen pals: Don't communicate for more than X days or Y messages before asking for a date, or asking if he's going to ask you on a date, or at least escalating from messages on the dating site to a different form of communication (and start another countdown). Pick X and Y to suit your tastes, and be prepared to break off a correspondence if things aren't progressing. (be prepared to be a little flexible, though) Don't forget that you're just as responsible for agreeing to meet up as the other person. (yes, really! )

Woggle Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 You will probably meet somebody within a few weeks. That is usually how it happens. Get out there and live life and you will meet others who are living life.
