Search Results: marriage advice

So my marriage is shit, my wife is verbally abusive and I've finally had enough. I'm crazy about this girl at work and I finally got the guys to say something to her. I knew I had slim to zero chances, but she is seriously my dream girl and really needed to try. I opened up and told her everything, all the things I love about her (voice, hair...) and how beautiful she is and how she makes me feel so amazing just by being nice. The only thing is, she doesn't have feelings for me, only as a coworker she said. All this was said over text too. We had a lunch break at the same time so I asked if she wanted to hang out and talk, but she said she had midterms work to do and asked me what i wanted to talk about. I didn't want to text it but was worried I'd never get another chance and probably ended up oversharing. Now I don't know what to do next. I'm worried I shared too much and creeped her out. Or maybe it's the age difference or maybe its she just doesn't find me attractive, I don't know. She's barely acknowledged me the last two days at work. I'm trying to just back off, I don't want to make things any worse or seem even more like a creeper than I might already. But I'm just not ready to throw in the towel yet. I still can't stop thinking about her. She is seriously my dream girl. I've never been so sure of something, I've never felt this way, not even with my wife, who I'm more convinced then ever I married for comfort and because I was scared rather than love. So I guess what I'm wondering is what other girls would think in a situation like this? Would you want space? Or would you want to be wooed? Like I'm ready to go to her house and blast Peter Gabriel from my boombox to show her how much she means to me but I don't want to scare her or make her more uncomfortable or like she's wrong for not liking me. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I am very conflicted at the moment about what I should do. I have always been serious in dating for marriage. But until now there has been no one suitable after searching for years.

A bit of background :
Every interested single I have met either has been run through by Chad and Tyrone, is a single mother with a few kids or is obese or all of the above.

At 6 feet tall with a body forged from lifting weights. With both university and professional degrees. A permanent job as part of senior management for a conglomerate. And the best being debt free.

All this takes time and I only dipped my toes into the dating pool at 28 after reaching management level.

Now the dilemma:
I think everyone has an idea what kind of girl I am looking for with my kind of profile and the perks I bring to the table. The problem is there aren't any.

My parents (left leaning which is shocking) are telling me to look at 30 year old women as candidates for being my wife and not care about virginity, her past or it will get worse for me later.

My friends are advising me to only play with them for sex only. I have never had a relationship like this before and have so far resisted but as the years go by I am getting more and more tempted to just date for sex. I am not getting any younger.

I can say without question that I do not want to marry women who reached 30 or those who cannot even take care of their health or morals.

Should I just lower my standards to date women, enjoy the sex and if someone better comes just replace the current woman I am dating?

My parents are against this of course, my friends are for me doing this.

Currently interested in a few women but recently found out that all of them have already been run through by Chad and Tyrone.

Spoiler alert: I have no sex skills since I don't play around, smoke, gamble or drink.
