*Sigh* Another girl with potential turns out to have a boyfriend. |
|
This happens all the time and I'm tired of it. Why are all the good ones taken? Oh, right, 'cause they're the good ones.

Whenever I was looking it seemed like all the available women went into hiding. I wish I could give you a way to just draw women out but I've had the same problem as you.

5. Hey. I feel the same way. |
|
I have permanently sworn off of women. They are either attached. Or they have no interest in me. They fuck with me and want no part of me. As far as potential prospects, I am beyond done. Never again.
But, you have my sympathies.

6. There was a while there... |
|
When I was interested in three girls in a row who all managed to get engaged during the time between my meeting them and my thinking about going after them. I've quit actively trying since then, not that I was trying too hard anyway...

I run into to available women all the time, thing is I'm NOT available. I have an SO, keep looking till you find a good match.
One strange tend, I run into more available or interested women more when I'm in a relationship then I do single :silly:

16. That happens to me too |
|
Or maybe it's just in my mind, but everytime I'm in a relationship or out on a date, it seems as if strange women are checking me out. But when I'm alone, they don't check me out as much.

women out. You just accept them the way they are.

13. The trick is to find a girlfriend and then.......... |
|
all kinds of women are made available all of a sudden. Never failed before I got married. I would have a long dry spell in between girlfriends. Then I would find a someone and 50 women would be crawling out of the woodwork.

A girl who I'd had a thing for for about a year now has decided to stay in Beijing for ANOTHER 6 months. Just found this out yesterday, when I was expecting to take her out for drinks in just 2 weeks. :argh:

if you and her have a connection talk to her, is there a "spark"? It's so very important not let one walk away for any reason, it may well be the true love you both we're meant to have, that one is out there. Bang the glass at her church during her wedding if it goes that far, if she loves you then hop in the sports car and drive off in the sunset. Never ever give up on someone you think might be right, always take a chance, roll the dice.
Michael, a man who has many many regrets.

21. But whatever you do, don't become a stalker |
|
If the lady says no, believe her. Especially if she says no consistently. (I had a stalker in my senior year of college, so I'm real sensitive on this point.)

I have four loves in my life that have moved on. In their defense they were all close to their families and never wanted to travel. I married one of them and we had to be right next to her family, it was stifling. I had been a traveler since I was 15, parents trusted me and I kept the car running so I went off on adventures. Needless to say very few women had interests in adventures.
I look back and realize I still love all four of them, and should have compromised on my wanderlust. The regret will follow you forever for in my case I don't know how to FALL out of love. I love everyone I've ever met, each has a place. While I have the memories it pales in comparison of the company.
I think of them everyday now go call that girl right now or I'll dump all my baggage on you dammit. :)

them or feeling bitter. As long as you keep room for new people. If you have a big heart, then there's always room for one more, right? i like to think so.

I went through a series of dry spells, some real losers and some women that were outright, batshit insane before I hooked up with Mrs. GTRMAN. I was 28 when we met and got married. Just celebrated our 13th anniversary last month.

25. My wife was "taken" the first time I asked her out |
|
In fact, she was "taken" for about the first two years I knew her.
I kept my sense of humor about it (because basically I always loved her) and waited my time.
Love doesn't fall on your head. It requires patience.
