My only issues dating is just the fact all the guys out here are shallow arses. If I want an easy lay I seriously just have to scroll through my gamer list of guys out here i game with. However none strike my fancy. Same with our girls though I have other issues with them. The only guy I'd want to date if I were even interested in a relationship is 5000 miles away from me so....Oh and the fact that most of the guys aren't at all intelligent either.
Funny, because I have a similar situation with woman. All the woman I know here like the loud drunken douche bags.

"Eh."

There is way too much emphasis put on being "in a relationship". Being single has not been documented to have killed anyone. Being in a relationship does not give you access to some Holy Grail of happiness or somesuch.

It gets really creepy when people seem convinced that they "ought" to be in a relationship, and that therefore there is something deeply wrong and unjust with people who don't want to be the other half of this.
Well, if it's anything..........

http://www.cracked.com/article_17063_5-reasons-being-single-sucks-even-more-than-you-thought.html

Yes, I read a lot of Cracked articles, but dammit, there really good. And they cite their information, so, it's not like they don't hold at least some merit.

I've been wanting to have a girlfriend for a while, but I honestly don't know how. Even if I did ask someone out and they said yes, I really wouldn't know where to go from there. I mean, FFFFFFFUUUUUU!

Seriously! I've convinced myself that since I haven't been able to figure out by this time, I'm screwed for the rest of my life. I ask for help from my friends all the time who do actually have girlfriends, but they don't really help all that much, because none of them ever come up with straight answers. Or, I guess they do, it's just that I have a lot of questions that have yet to be answered, and I'm always competing to get the guys attention whom I'm trying to ask the questions to. When I finally do, get there attention, I ask they question, they answer it without really answering anything and then they go off talking to someone else when I wanna say "Hey! Asshole, I'm not done yet!"

Yea, that's pretty much the problem. I've never really had a girlfriend before, so, I really know next to nothing about keeping girlfriends, and my friends are never really getting out of their way to help me out. It's not like they need to, but come on, it wouldn't hurt help out a little, would it?

I have only had one girlfriend for two weeks, and she stabbed me in the back.

I've given up all hope. I am an abomination. A rather intelligent one with generally good morals, but still. I'm ugly beyond belief, and crazy beyond words. I take pleasure in making people scared, for god's sake. I have purpose, but it dies not include love, hell, I don't even understand that word. The damage to my already not-perfect psyche is too great to even risk it, I'm happier without trying.

I was once asked if I'd been thinking of getting a girlfriend. To which I replied "I spend more time considering chemical castration."

Like some ass of a radio show host once said. I'm paraphrasing the following the best of my remembrance.
Let them turn you down and break your heart, use the time to your advantage: get a good education and a well-paying job. In twenty years they will have lost their looks and you will be dating their daughters.

This is why, My dear friend. Remember, girls love 'em.

"Chinese lettering" - 90% of people I know with those kinds of tattoos have no idea what they mean, and since I speak Mandarin, I find it funny. I bet I could start a tattoo parlour and charge douche bags for tattoos of Chinese characters that mean nothing what they think it means. Imagine if you found a guy with a tattoo for "Fag" on his arm? :D

I've always been told that im a nice guy and good looking to boot but I was not that good at starting conversations with anyone but I have since fixed that problem and I am very excited for my new intel class because the level of girls is very high and I like my chances with at least one of them.

Because keeping quiet and not posting guarantees that we'll see more relationship threads.

Ignoring them means that better threads get displaced so that people can blather on about their romances.
Well, I guess I can't fault you for the amount of effort that you're putting in, as futile and somewhat misguided/inconsiderate as it may be.

Single at the moment. I quite like it though, as I'm spending the summer off uni to dedicate time to myself and make myself a better person. The freedom's a nice thing to have. Of course, that may all change once uni starts up again.

hahahaha I love that photo. not the first time i've seen it. I'd like to either get kanji or mandarin for bunny on my back but i don't trust people enough because of that so I won't do it unless I can start learning it for myself


I finally have a working computer that runs games on it well enough for me to play so not limited to just my ps3 anymore. Now to take all my music off my ps3 and put it on my computer


Give me a socially awkward pale ass gamer boy with a little stubble and I'll take that over your stereotypical douche any day and be 10 times happier than any other girl with one of them

No-one needs another person to make them happy, you find happiness on your own. Then perhaps you will find someone, perhaps not, but don't sweat being single, just enjoy it. Don't get into a relationship because you don't want to be single, it's not fair on your partner and it's not fair on yourself.

Don't put everything into one person because, when that person is gone, there goes your little world.

According to a lot of my male and female friends, I don't seem like the type to know what "romantic" is or means. What is that supposed to mean?

I wasted my youth pining after a girl I now know to be an intolerable ***** (general consensus, not just my opinion), and threw away three or four potential relationships in the ultimately fruitless pursuit of her. My problem? I was just an asshole. In fairness, she did ask me to our prom and generally loved me, but not in quite the right way. But yeah, I've made a lot of mistakes in the past but self-pity isn't my style, so I'll just have to not make those mistakes again.

Never 'officially' had a girlfriend, but I've had... things that make putting quotes around officially acceptable. Not sure the best way to describe it w/o going into detail (which I won't).

Anyway, my girl-related circumstances can be summed up very simply: Girls like me, then I go herp derp.

Level of satisfaction with current situation: good enough for now.

All I want is a nice girl/guy. Is that too much to ask??

Okay, actually, there is a nice girl. So dammit, why can't I man up?

Blah blah blah 16-year-old angst etc etc.

hooboy...

Back in my early teens I had rat-tailı. Said rat-tail was nothing new as I had had it all my life but there was something different about this piece of hair as soon as I went to Middle-School. What I am trying to say is that I was ostracized for the late 12th and early-mid 13th of my life because I my haircut was completely different than that of the entire student body that made up my 7th grade class. Needless to say, my view of society and the human race itself has had a much more cynical look to it ever since. Being left alone everyday allowed me to become more observant and really take note of my classmates which led to this discovery: everyone is terrible. This is, of course, a view point that was created by a teeny-bopper (or however you spell it) and has been changed over time to reflect the evolution of my understanding of the people I went to school with since.

The next major factor (yes there are at least two of them) was, and still is, my father. My father went to an all-boys school for high school and junior high which meant, I'm assuming, that he did not have much of a chance to test the waters of a relationship in his youth. Thu-sly, he would tell me once or twice a week that, "you should really get a girl friend or else you'll regret not seeing what a relationship is like later in life," or something attuned to that. Being the slightly rebellious teenager that I was, I decided that it would be best to stay away from getting into a relationship and declared myself an asexual.

I never had a girlfriend till this year. We were both in the same college class and both in our second year. Up to this point, two other girls had asked me. I had given thought about dating one of them but she had a tendency to get liquored up whenever she could. Any who, the night that my ex and I became a couple I asked myself "Am I okay with this?" The answer turned out to be yes but I had no idea what "love" felt like up to that point in my life. Long story short, she left me two days later, though not because of anything we had done, more of a financial thing.

At this point I've begun my third year of college and here is what I've come up with for being single: More data required.

I've known what being single is like, but I only had a couple of days to try and figure out what being in a relationship was like. I suppose at this point that I don't mind being single, but I wouldn't half mind giving another relationship a go.

ı: I got rid of the rat-tail my 10th year in high school.

Oh god, the cynicism.

Personally, I've had quite a few relationships, but I'm single now [sub]Ladies?[/sub]. Actually, since I've been about thirteen I've been as much in relationships (relationships with varying degrees of seriousness) as not, which I suppose is odd for The Escapist. Probably because I'm such a dashing bastard. Being single and 'free' is a myth. You get way less sex when you're single.

But, by posting in these threads, you displace the better threads of which you speak. I never see you post in other threads either. Just relationship ones.
