What is stopping you from having a boyfriend/girlfriend?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Honestly?  I'm over dating . Felt that way for years and the feeling just won't go away. I'm kind of content not dealing with the games and nonsense associated with dating and relationships. And if that'd not a good enough reason, let me list what else is blocking me: Being unattractive (at least from a dating/relationship standpoint) I live in the real life version of Mayberry where there is no dating or social scene Having a boyfriend requires someone actually wanting to date and be attracted to me... well that eliminates my chances 😂 Have y'all been on dating apps lately? Enough said.

I have a partner but for sometime, it was best I stayed single because my work schedule did not allow a personal life.
I tried dating at that time and I felt bad at telling people I was only available Saturday to which I would cancel because that the only day I had to myself to catch up on personal appointments.

The area I live in. All the girls here are drug addicts or prostitutes. Maybe in a better area I'd date.

I seem to only attract narcissistic people who like to use guys for money or sex. A lot of guys would jump on a girl who only wants sex. It's OK if you're a jerk with no other expectations or an attention span of a goldfish!

I do a lot of writing too and I don't think many girls like writers. They think we're too emotional or something like that, really in all reality, the characters in the books get all the emotions.

I haven't met a decent girl in a long time, so those days are probably over.

Apple1996 · Answer

Well I desperately want a girlfriend but my husband told me no 😕

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Probably because I'm already married and too lazy to pull more side chicks. It's just too much work.

Now give me some whiskey and some of the devil's dandruff (I don't do cocaine, I just like how it smells), I'll take home a fat chick or two.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I got out of a relationship a month or so ago and I just want so me time. I am not like most people who just bounce back and start the following week. I tend to put my heart in soul in a relationship, so when it ends it takes a little piece out of me.

Lionman95 · Answer

A lot. Not having a strong frame, I´m tall but not muscular. But generally speaking one too many rejections from different kind of women. At some point life dating gets harder if you´ve never been in a long term relationship. To me the biggest factor that´s stopping me is the feeling of being not born for one. I don´t hate myself but I got aspects or preconditions that make it hard to get in a relationship.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Generally, my refusal to consider living together. It usually goes like this: we start dating. We get close. We get closer. She points out that she is over at my place most of the time anyway, so why not move in and save whatever she is paying in rent? I say no because I am not granting her or anyone else legal residency in my house. She takes it as a rejection. We break up.

@coachtanthony Finding a woman who's 99.9% identical to me is stopping me from having a girlfriend. Finding a woman who's 99.9% identical to me is important because it would be impossible to form an emotional bond without maximum similarity.

blahdimirputin · Answer

Got cheated on very badly two months ago. My ex drunk called me one morning when we were having relationship issues. I told him to get to his home safely then call me back. He texted me an hour later telling me that he had just effed his friend that I never liked.

In the one hour between his call and text, he called the girl to ask her to sleep with him, picked her up, drove to a shady hotel, did her.

Pretty sure I'm going to focus on myself for a really long time.

Jmmmfi4 · Answer

I'm absolutely positively 10000 percent convinced no girl could possibly see anything in me worthwhile

Counterclocking · Answer

Not finding a woman that’s pretty enough is what’s stopping me. Without exception, I definitely want a girlfriend that gorgeous like Jessica Alba. However, when she’s wearing a dress or skirt, I always want her to wear pantyhose. Sadly, not very many women wear pantyhose these days. The thing is without exception, I want a girlfriend that’s an avid pantyhose wearer.
