[CavalierEternal1]

My love life is kind of - well, like a shortwave broadcast which drifts in and out and changes in tone and content from one minute to the next. Anyone who's gone dial-surfing during the golden age of shortwave (Ooh, The Kinks on the BBC!) knows what I'm talking about!

Oh, how many people here remember the Ultra-Brite toothpaste "How's Your Love Life?" commercials from the 1970's?

Find myself all by myself

This is a pretty sensitive subject to most people so I wasn't expecting too many replies. I had been watching romance comedies around the valentine's day weekend and I watched 500 Days of Summer. Pretty good flick- not really romantic or funny but very realistic and relevant to people searching/ looking for love. Anyways my philosphy of life right now is to cowboy it out. Stay free and figure things out on my own by my own.

[The_Crusader]

Non existant. Turns out in not anyones "type"

 

[the_jimmy_james]

I'm not seeing anyone, by choice. I was laid off from my job in late November. I have always told myself that, if I don't have the means to provide for a girlfriend, then I refuse to date. Not fair to either of us. I remain confident that things will turn around, though. 🙂

Hmm, so that would explain the term "reverse cowboy"! 😀

Seriously, I hear what you're saying!

AdamN - Anyone worth knowing won't care so much about your financial situation. Just because you can't support a family right now doesn't mean you should deny yourself friendship and/or fun. I've known women who could've cared less about my bank balance.

I appreciate the kind words, friend. I have been tempted to give it a shot, but honestly, it doesn't feel right at the moment. Someday soon, I am hoping it will.

If you don't want the hassle of dating at this point (or just plain can't afford it), I can totally relate. I hope you don't feel as though you're not worthy of a romantic interest because of your money problems (been there, done that).

My love life.....(shouldn't post while I'm depressed)

I feel like I've met someone I'd like to share my life with, But...(there's always a "But")...

Here's the WTMI, in case anyone has a suggestion;

I've known her for over a year, we have lots of the same interests but it never "happens"- you know, when you see a chance to kiss her or make a move, I never see it. It never seems "right" for some reason. She'll make me dinner, we have a great time, go to movies, laugh at the same stuff; really makes me feel alive, but we're always "just friends".

A friend met her, told me she's just waiting for me to make a move but I don't see the signs. I just think she's not attracted to me physically. Also she's got this morbid outlook; she doesn't expect to live all that long (maybe 5-15 more years) and yes, that's realistic with her physical health; but even 5 years can be a lifetime...

She's been in terrible long-term relationships before. Her exes were either cheaters or needed her to be their second mother. She's never had a strong, solid, equal-partner relationship (I don't have money or looks or an exciting life, but I can offer her a real adult relationship) So she says she doesn't want another boyfriend again, this is her time to spend with herself....(but she's depressed by herself)

I'm looking elsewhere but not finding anyone. Starting to feel like love and sex are only for people younger than me (I'm 40) or for financially succesful men who want to chase "trophy"-girlfriends half their age. This woman really brightens up my day when I see her, even if she's "just" a friend...

Any suggestions?
