I met my BF online. Not on a sex-site, mind you.

I found it hard to meet guys without going to a club or something...and I don't like guys into the club scene.

not that I'm looking for a girl right now. But I hope one day in the future I'll have a girlfriend. I just can't see it happening though. I was lucky with my last one. She was the best friend of my cousin.

As I've said, I only meet through family. Beause I make such poor first impressions, I need someone to vouch for me.

but then I wonder if I really want the complications in my life. I like to keep my life simple. Is sex really worth such complications? I like sex, and think about it all the time. But I can't help but feel it's overrated. I'm just not sure if it's worth it.

Sex is only part of the whole package. A partner is supposed to be a boon & help you thru life's little complications, not be a problem. If you look at women in that light well then it's no surprise they don't want to be with you.

Because they thought that being married meant never having to say that your not getting any. Not necessarily so.

It's also those same guys - who thought being married meant never saying that your not getting any - who often are clueless about negotiating, especially in the bedroom, and reciprocity. It is surprising the number of guys who never figure out that if you keep her happy in the bedroom - you'll be alot happier too. You don't hear those men complaining, so you don't notice them.

if you can't have sex in a marriage, what's the point?

and no, this does not reflect negative attitudes towards women. Rumour has it women enjoy sex as well.

I'm not married, but might as well be. If we broke up I'd miss my girlfriend more for the company / intimacy than for the sex.

not rest stops or truck stops?

just kidding.

and you guys don't believe me when I say I don't want a girlfriend. Do you guys really think I'm that pathetic I can't get a girlfriend? don't answer that. It's a rhetorical question.

The only time I want a girlfriend is when I'm horny. Like last night. I took care of that by doing... you know. And now I have no desire for one. Perhaps later today the hormones will come flooding back, and I'll have to take care of it again.

As for intimacy, it looks good in the movies and all. But it never turns out that way in real life.

and it would be selfish of me to have a girlfriend just for sex. It wouldn't be fair to her.

no way dude. My life is sorted.

Today I saw this white trash couple yelling at each other. Actually the woman was doing all the yelling. She was really screaming her head off at this guy.

I want no part of that. You could say it's an isolated incident. But I see a lot of women yell at guys. And I don't like to be yelled at. Yes I did join the military and go to boot camp. But they didn't yell that much at me because I didn't screw up that much.

Tell me what is so great about relationships?

What's so great about a relationship? It's a chance to give your love to someone, and recieve the same from another person.

If you haven't been loved, or felt loved by another person, I can see why you are skeptical, but if you have, then it's a pretty simple question. You remember the times in which you have loved one another even when you are fighting, since that reminds you what is really important.

I can't live without it Dissident, and I know I've just scratched the surface. I am really looking forward to everything else that is yet to come, even if I have to wait for it.

That's what I wondered before entering one too.

Now that my ex and I broke up, I strive to be in a relationship again. As BK said, it's pretty simple once you've experienced it.

Do as you wish, I'm not here to be a know-it-all, and it may be the best course of action for you.

However, I can't help but feel sad for you. Unless you've been systematically trolling in your whole time on Poly, you seem to be living a very sad sentimental life.

Diss - your letting yourself get spooked by the bad examples. Count the number of times you see a couple yelling, and then look at the number of times you see a couple holding hands or kissing. Relationships can be good. It's not easy.

You have to be ready to compromise. Compromise consists of

1) communicating. You need to know what the issue is.
2) negotiating. This means you must genuinely be willing to give up some of what you want - that doesn't mean always giving in, but it also mean you can't always have your way
3) follow-through. If you say you are going to do something, or stop doing something, then you have to try, extemely hard.

If you are not ready to do this, you are probably right in that you are not ready for a relationship, and that you are being ethical/moral avoiding one right now. The fact you can realize that fact, though, makes you at least closer to being ready for a relationship then many people.

The other thing you have to be willing to do is DO NOT rush into relationships. Talk, go on a few light dates, do not rush into bed. Let her do most of the talking. You may find out that she want no children ever, and you do someday. Or vice-versa. She may be devout and the member of another religion, and expect you to either convert or as a minimum raise any children/live the lifestyle of that religion. If you don't have that kind of strong religious tendency, avoid that lady. She may expect you to take care of you, and yet still be in charge. I detest those.

One lady wrote that someone looking for the right person should go on several hundred dates a year. What she meant by that, though, was something as simple as talking to somone on a bus, while evaluating them for follow through. She strongly suggested a very hard, consistant set of initial critieria to evaluate someone by, so you could winnow out those who you should never start going out with. Good luck, and I hope

how so?

I haven't been trolling the whole time. on occasion maybe. I admit I am emotionally sensitive. My feelings get hurt easily. It's not easy for me to recover from such things. Maybe in time I will.

Well, you're alone, and you don't seem to enjoy it. Your loneliness affects your self-esteem, as you seem not to feel that you're worth anything to anybody. You're not content with your situation, as you often say that whores are clearly inferior to girlfriends.

A few months ago, you were interested in a girl, but it didn't work out. For the while it lasted, however, you looked like you were having a renaissance, with greater happiness and self esteem. You looked like you had something to strive for.
Now, it's possible that you didn't feel like that at all. Maybe I was just projecting. But the impression was strong, and I think there was much more than projection in any case.
