I was in your position about a year ago. I worked a lot and my career was going well, but the problem with that is, it left me little to no time to meet new people. Plus I got sick of clubbing and gave it up long time ago. I did go on dates, and I did meet girls, but they weren't my type and some where too young and crazy. Just not in the same stage in life as I am.

The thing is, it is true what they say...You'll meet someone at the times you least suspect it. I did.

Been there. A couple years back, I had been dating this guy for a couple years and then he decided to cheat on me and dump me on New Years eve. We weren't engaged though... Difficult to have faith in the opposite sex.

How do you **** that up? (Not you EG, the guy) A chick that loves hockey, that from what i've seen is nice looking... and isn't stupid.

It blows my mind!

Long term relationships are over rated besides side effects may be warts, rage control issues, loss of trailer, loss of income, loss of all friends, loss of reputation, loss of interest in living, and death.

Please consult the nearest bar if any of these symptoms occur.

This thread is useless without pics...

I know many of the guys were thinking it. LOL.

Keep working at it... it's where you're looking the hardest that you'll never find it. Just let it happen, and it will.

not at all, but why would a straight guy leave a good looking smart hockey fan?

Never a larger collection of e-mackers than a nerdy hockey forum.

You I like

I think he just liked a different type of girl. The girl he left me for was a "princess" type, as I call them. Basically, a pretty but vacant girl that didn't have much to say, the type most guys say they don't like but end up chasing after all the time.

Although... the gay thing may be right. He was a Leafs fan.

does love even exist? i wonder sometimes

Winsor_Pilates · 01-18-2007, 08:50 PM

Some of you seem to need this

MattyK · 01-18-2007, 09:04 PM

I haven't discounted anyone on race, per say. I have on religion/culture. I have a few Islamic friends...their culture is just too different for me to consider a relationship with them.

That's not to say that, if I was dedicated and there was true love, I couldn't get over it. But seriously...with the large cultural differences, I doubt that a relationship could even get off the ground. As such, I don't even bother thinking about it. There is a positive side, though...there's none of that pesky sexual tension that there is with other girls, so I've become fairly good friends with two Islamic girls.

And these girls have many other girl friends, so...

ewww, you should have just dumped him.

burnin_vernon · 01-18-2007, 10:00 PM

Love stinks! Ya Ya!

I haven't had anything serious for 5 or 6 years (who's counting?) I don't even remember how to get in an argument with a woman

Oh well, I don't look anymore cause everyone else says "the one" will come when you least expect it. I'm going to start hanging out at gay night clubs...talk about least expecting it.

Que Sera, Sera

) then one day I met the coolest chick and all that stopped. We've been married for 2 1/2 years now, and we're both very happy, had our ups and downs but who doesn't.

Crap like this always happens when you least expect it.

25 is young still, lots of my friends are almost 30 and not married yet either, it's not the end of the world.

Awww, come on guys, finding love is awesome. That weak feeling in your knees when you see them, the excitment around everything, the gittyness, the firsts, the newness of it all... I love it!

The problem isn't finding love, it's keeping love.

I have a serious, serious, SERIOUS fear of commitment. Yep, I am ashamed that I have hurt many guys that did not deserve it because of my own short-commings. But I've tried everything, and I feel like I get suffocated whenever I get close to someone. I've been dating someone since last April, and it's been long-distance since October. I'm starting to get that "dine and ditch" feeling... And I can't help but feel sorry for him, because underneath it all, I love him. The thing is, I can see myself getting married one day and I definately want kids, just not right now.

But I guess what I'm trying to say is embrace your singleness and your freedom! Don't mope around wishing you were with someone, live for yourself! You want to travel? Go travel! Flirt with the pool boy, see what you want to see. You have the rest of your life to be married, you only have now to be your own person.
