Dating/meeting new people

Would you like to have a boyfriend/girlfriend, but feel you don’t know how to form a relationship that requires that type of deep emotional/physical connection or are too socially awkward?

Yes.

after years of relationship after relationship, I’ve been alone for a year and a half now and I feel great. Sure I would like that but right now I’m kinda learning how to be with myself which feels really good

That’s a three parter.

I could see a relationship as being a mostly good thing but potentially bad as well.

There is a tendency for women who get close to me to start bossing me around, get’s annoying.

They try to be nurturing but don’t see that it gets in the way of having a good time.

I don’t know lots of complications involved with that. Depends on who comes a long I guess.

Right there with ya

does it always require an emotional/physical connection to form a relationship? cant you fall “in love” (not emotional just find it sympathetic) to the style of the person (how he/she behaves and speaks) aswell?

Eventually emotional attachments develop on one side or the other. Only in rare cases do they not and people remain to stay together.

I think you mean idealizing the person through the first impressions you get. I believe love is deeper than that

one girl told me she fell in love with me but i felt absolutely nothing for her and didnt persue. i never persued any girl even though they showed strong interest in me. no idea why. its like i had other preocupations - but i didnt. i feel very strange in social situations (or used to) i never had such an experience as most boys get when they find a teacher sexy (boner) but i feel very distracted by other matters (what i and how i shouldve done/said things) that sex never even crosses my mind or i develop a lust in conversations. i feel lust when im on my own thinking of girls but when talking to actual ones its not there at all and never was there as long as i can think. do you have the same problem or are you much easier aroused by females giving themselves to you?

na, even longer periods - years. not just first impressions. cant you be atteched to the ideals of a person instead of the psysical or emotional part?

You can… there’s millions of people who do that

Hmmmm…

When girls get intimate with me socially/physically I typically have a response. It’s not totally consistent though. Some girls have thrown themselves at me and it didn’t do anything. Other times it’s the exact opposite.

im single and ready to mingle

but i feel that women arent as great a percantage as men are in those millions. they have absolutely different criteria and the older they get the worse it becomes.

I wouldn’t put so much pretense into it. It’s not some great puzzle you’re going to solve.

Every single girl out there is different than the next. Find one you like.

I can understand that. I’m a woman and I don’t relate to the criteria you said, but I think I’m a romantic.

i like it when they return interest but in the last 4 years atleast i havent seen that at all and ive met a couple of females. (like i said the older they get the worse it becomes, the more and more you have to do to “earn” their interest).

How old are you?

I haven’t really ran into that yet.

still young - under 30. why? how old are you?

I don’t know man it’s still a crapshoot.

In college everyone had this illusion of success ahead of them. Was a lot easier to see the playing field as even.

Things are different. That’s for sure.
