Love to.
Women literally and costs of dating costs of a house and how women just leave blank and boring responses and i'm always responding asking questions in a conversation she's there expecting me to lead but when it matter all of a sudden she's in charge.
I have better conversations with brick walls no lie one of them even responded with a knock think my neighbour was checking if I was ok.
Well, I got out of a serious relationship earlier on this year, so I'm not all that excited about the thought of getting into one at the moment. I feel like I still have a lot of growing up to do, so I want to try better myself first in preparation for the next woman.
The fact that there aren't any attractive, available women who are interested in me coming into my life due to my shitty luck and the pandemic. It seems like they'd all rather have a relationship with their phones or their reflections. Maybe one day, though.
This is going to be way too much information and I doubt anyone is going to read it but here you go, I couldn't fit everything into one response on here due to character limit:

By the way if anyone does read that I just want to clarify that I am not adverse to a relationship, if it happens it happens, but taking into account everything you read, there's a 1 percent chance of that happening.
However, I'm genuinely content where I am in life and the life goals I have set for myself and I have accepted that if I'm to meet someone rare who falls into my criteria and we end up in a relationship, great, if not, also fine.
The fact that most guys are only there for sex, will definitely lie to you, lead you on and who knows that they might be showing the same romantic gestures to other women and saying the same words to them also?
Or they will simply fall out of love one day and start distancing themselves like nothing ever happened.
No 😂 no i do not. For a while i thought i did, but then i met this girl during the Pandemic, literally the coolest person i've met in a while. We shared a ton of interests and she seemed super into me!.. which was super intimidating and i cut things off lol, i'm better off single
No not right now... because I just got out of one and I’m enjoying time by myself.
Yes, I do. The problem is finding a suitable partner. I learned with an ex last year that it's not possible to fix serious flaws, so I'm strict about what is, unfortunately, a long list of necessary dealbreakers for a long term partner.
No, I don't have my shit together and wouldn't want to waste her time on a nobody. The biggest thing holding me back is depression and drugs. The pandemic only made it worst! God damn, what am I even doing anymore.
can't find anyone who is willing to be in a serious relationship. Most are interested in a hook up and doesn't want to get to know me as a person. Even the guy I thought liked me, ghosted me. Just have to leave it up to fate. Nothing much to do.
I have a hard time believing posts like this. Most men want sex AND want a relationship and depending on what you show leaves you available for either... that’s how it is in my base. But women don’t seem to be worth the relationship anymore. Sex on first dates and such
@Dreamy2020 exactly you are having same problem like me.. thats why i am still single and searching
@VanillaSalt I don't do casual sex at all. I have to have feelings and trust them to have sex with them. So I don't, and that's why they ghost me.
Of course I to be a relationship, finding my happily ever after would be great but for some reason the only guys I attract are ones who see me as disposable, temporary or they just run scared because of my past.
Def stay away from jerks like that and never settle for less than you deserve
It would be age for me, I want a serious relationship now but I don't want to get married till I'm out of college and I don't want to force my girlfriend to sit in anticipation for 4 years or more.
The only thing holding me back is finding someone I'm generally Interested in.
At the moment I'm taking a break from searching because it's time consuming and want to focus on other things.
Yes I most definitely do want to be in a very serious healthy loving relationship
What's holding me back from that are as follows :
Finding the right person , accepting me and my small immediate family and me being accepted by her and her family
I am in one and yes. I don't like being alone although I like alone time, I don't like being lonely. I do like being with my girlfriend and we live 10x more when I'm with her.
No. The thought of a serious relationship makes me sick actually. I like being my own person and making my own decisions without having to check in with a bae every goddamn minute.
i don't think being in a relationship really means you have to pass everything by your partner. Why do you think that?
@heyhey100 that’s what a serious relationship is. You can’t just check out and live your life for awhile independently. Now you’re a unit that has to discuss everything from dinner to big life decisions. It’s smothering and exhausting and for me it’s not worth it.
I am open to it.
Holding me back? Based upon my preferences, those who are willing are not worthy and those who are worthy are not willing.
I did up till a couple years. Ago. Now i see it as a virtual impossibility. I have too many strikes going against me for a woman to give me a chance. Then there's the other side of it. If they want me i'm not interested. So basically after years of trying i know it's not worth making a real effort for anymore.
The guy I fell for wants to play the field and I don’t know why I allowed him to string me along but not anymore. Basically I don’t set healthy boundaries
I do, but haven't find the right guy who would take it seriously with. Most of guys in my age range prefer friends with benefits and one night stands more than a committed relationship. I guess i wouldn't be in one soon since i haven't met one.
