I'm single...but rather happy about it really.

Tried the whole 'serious relationship' thing and found it wasn't for me. There is the loneliness aspect I suppose, but generally casually 'dating' various people is far more exciting and requires a lot less effort/responsibility.

Perhaps when I'm older I'll feel the need for something more permanent, but it will take a certain 'someone' to make me think it's worth it. Not sure if this person exisits, and I dont want to waste my life searching for them when I could be out having fun

Well, I'm alone for quite a while now.

Things didn't workout with my g/f shortly before the military, and we broke up. She later wanted to try again but I refused.

Then I had a short time of fun - meeting new people and even dating a bit. But that ended in the military.

Today I work long hours with a fixed group of people, and even though I meet lots of girls there, it is problematic since they are either taken or fall for older guys. (my unit is small and varied in the age groups ranging from 18 to 22 (the older commanders are irrelevant). Not to mention it is a very difficult environment since rumors and gossip travel faster than a rocket on its way to a terrorist.

I usually only have time to go 'out' on weekends or rarely during the week. But there are several problems:

1) I'm quite poor. Army salary doesn't help.

2) Don't have a driver's lisence yet ("My dad will pick us up, ok?") because I spent my money on the SATs I took before the military, and I don't have time to take the courses now anyway.

3) My friends circle has become small. I no longer find my self invited to huge "frat-like" parties at people's houses, where you could drink, chat and such.

Most times going out means meeting the same people - either my male friends or my female friends who aren't options (really - they aren't. I dated one before, and the other one is not suitable for it).

Alot of time I feel like I'm wasting my time going 'out' with my female friends when I should attempt really dating and picking up chicks.

But I'm too "skeptical" either about my chances or about the girls. I have quite high demands and I almost turned down my previous g/f because I wasn't sure about her. I tend to think about each girl - would we manage having a normal relationship? And usually I find reasons why not - so I just do nothing.


So while I got excited about some girls during the first several months of military service - by now I'm pretty numb to it.

I keep thinking that I just don't have the time, money or car needed to have a relationship right now. And it sucks since I feel I need one.



So, am I the only one not getting any?


my not getting any status is legendary here at Apolyton.

I've come to realize that I'm a bit of a loner. I don't think I could ever make a long term relationship work. And usually all I care about is sex anyways. There are times I think it would be nice to just snuggle with a woman and be friends with them. But usually I just want to bang them.

I might be off the mark here Diss but a lot has to do with trust, once you get over that, you can be yourself with a woman and you can be with her.

Not that I'm looking for a 24/24 relation, I need some space too.

I'm looking at a 99% of getting hit upon tonight.
Hope I still remember how that whole thing works...

Funny, ask me a month ago, and I would have said, yes, I hate being on my own.

But then I turned down a friend who asked me out, (a wise decision), and who kept after me even after I refused.

So maybe I've gotten used to this over the last while.

Guy's Rules Of Dating:

1) You don't want to date someone crazier than yourself. You want the mental illness in the relationship to be the other person's problem.

2) The crazier the person, the better the sex.


And yes, clearly, I have yet to work out a way to reconcile #1 and #2.
