23 years old and from LA, California, United States
For starters, I'm 20. Not 23.
I like to complain about how I have a severe lack of love in my life. You've been forewarned.
I enjoy sipping tea at my local coffee house, and pretending that I'm with a girl who's interested in me. I have conversations with my car and ask his advice on girls but he doesn't have much to contribute.
Sometimes when I think about girls and my love life, I find it quite rewarding to go up to a wall and bang my head several times-desperately trying to figure out and understand why am I still single, what is wrong with me and why do people take this simple four letter word we call "love" and go on making it hundreds of times more complicated than it needs to be.
I like to sit down and contemplate what it is that women truly value in a relationship, yet time after time the moment I seem to have discovered the diamond solution, a woman will walk by discussing with her friend about how she can't see her boyfriend because her shorts are "blue" instead of "green".
Several years ago, I was approached by a girl. She asked for my name and asked why I was sitting on a bench all by myself. We talked a little bit more and she even gave me her phone number without me having to ask her. I thought I was sent an angel from the heavens above.
Two years ago she dumped me. There were no previous arguments, no disagreements, no sudden changes in our lives. When I asked her why, all she could come up with was, "...we don't laugh at the same things." or "...we've had 3 years together. We were great. It's time to move on." or "I don't have to tell you why. I have my reasons."
A week later she asked out a man who was younger than I was, shorter than I was, about 25-50 pounds overweight, in boy scouts, had greasy curly hair and looked as if he hadn't showered in weeks. (For those of you into astrology, I am an Aquarius and my ex was a Gemini. The guy I just described above was a Capricorn.)
I suppose that being approached by an attractive girl is a mere fantasy in which you see in movies. Surely our modern day societal stereotypes would never allow for such open minded free thinking. That just taboo, right girls?
I see some of the biggest losers in my city going out with some real gem stones and yet a guy like me, who enjoys working out, keeping in shape, going to see a late night movie and hitting up the occasional party/club/get together has yet to find a girlfriend.
And if they aren't losers without any form of a social life, they look horrid. What is it with girls going out with ugly guys? Sometimes I sit back and wonder... How the hell does she have sex with him?
Is it looks? Personality? Lack of looks? Lack of personality? Interests or the lack thereof? Am I really that unique? Am I the only one that can see the forest through the trees?
What has this world come to with women and what they look for in men? Is there any woman... No, any human that understands my unbearable frustrations?
A: Yeah, the guy that you've been seeing and waited for ended up being a total jerk. It's much better this way, as you know that this guy is an insincere ass.But don't worry, you've got your whole life ahead of you and I'm sure you're cute enough to attract some other dude's attention in the future.... more
A: Sounds like he's trying to show off his life to you by showing you his new place. From what I'm reading it sounds like he's definitely trying to get you into him. Especially since he got mad when you didn't show up to his place. Anger=attachment.
A: That's actually pretty cool. It shows that you have tons of self restraint and that you make choices very carefully. Turn on.Now that you're starting to shake the shyness bit, and looking for someone, try to make some new friends. Maybe take a class or two in university. Perhaps you could meet... more
A: "When I break up with them and I see them with some other girl, he treats her as if she's the angel of his world."Are you sure that this isn't just your perception? Maybe the fact that you're seeing them together, happy, is what you're paying particularly most attention to.It could also be the kind... more
A: He could either be scared of commitment, or scared of losing you as a friend. He might be thinking that if he dates you, something in the relationship could go wrong thus leading to the end of a mutual friendship. It seems like he's playing it really safe with you by doing all this... more
