Joyride Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 so, it’s Friday night… nothing much going on. most of my friends have had long time boyfriends and sometimes I do wonder why I’ve never met anyone who makes me feel “that way”. I don’t want to meet people through apps, etc because people never get the right impression of who I am and conversations just lead nowhere. Have you ever felt the same? Like somehow life is plotting for me to stay single and live like this forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fauxtography Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Being in a relationship isn't everything. I've been in one for 4 years and spend every day wishing I wasn't in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not exactly “wishing” I was in a long time relationship, but I would like to meet some guys out there and know what it’s like to be loved. I don’t or don’t want a ltr.

kandicha Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Because I’m too shy to approach people I’ve also been working from home since the pandemic started and it’s been harder to meet people in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAg Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 cause guys are afraid to commit to me for some damn reason, and the ones who are eventually down to commit to some degree are already in polyamorous relationships in which I wouldn't be a priority, if i were to be added. and, I don't know how to talk to girls! so yay lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAg Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 this isn't to say that I don't stan polyamory btw! I consider myself mostly poly, but I want to be treated as an equal in a relationship again someday lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suneclipse121 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Well for me it’s a combination of reasons- 1. I am very inconsistent with my active dating phases. I would try dating for about a month or two and go on a couple of dates. And when they don’t pan out I pause dating for years at a time. 2. I notice that a lot of the guys I go out with are emotionally unavailable and that usually leads to very uneven power dynamics where someone gives more than the other person. I recognize that this might be an issue I need to correct because my taste seems to be trash. Usually people can’t match my energy. Even when I tone it down. I’m a bit more aggressive with weeding these guys out so I don’t waste my time. 3. I believe in monogamy. I don’t compromise on this core value at all. I would compromise on a lot of things but on monogamy their is no room for negotiation. So that usually wipes out a lot of guys who want to just have fun. I think I know if I put a LOT more effort into dating and really go all in I could maybe find someone who is compatible and shares the same core value that I do. But honestly most of the time I’m just not motivated enough to even try. Edited August 6, 2022 by suneclipse121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
