Anyone else fed up with being single right now?

Pissy Missy · 24-04-2014 9:07pm #1

Anyone ever get a bit peed off with being single? Maybe I'm just bored but when it seems impossible to meet someone nice or someone that wants more than an easy ride over three years, it does kind of get to you a little.

I have tried dating sites and I'm not saying all guys are the same, but the guys I met were just looking for the one thing. I socialize and put myself out there but in vain it seems. I have lovely friends and family so I'm grateful for that. Before you say anything, I am focusing on myself, trying to keep myself busy but can't help feeling a bit lonely sometimes. Anyone in the same boat?

Sounds like an idea. I may look into some activities but I guess Portlaoise is so tiny, I'm sure there must be a few things out there. Thanks

Three years? I can only last 15 minutes.

Artful_Badger · 24-04-2014 9:19pm

At least you have options OP. Try being a guy with literally nothing at all to offer a woman. I'm in line behind the guys your dismissing waiting for a chance to get dismissed.

All right I lied about the fcukin bike. But I swear I've got the pants !

pragmatic1 · 24-04-2014 9:28pm

Nope. I still remember the amount of effort I had to put in and lack of personal time I had in my last relationship.

A downtrodden personality. Lack of confidence. Self pitying

Buy a toaster -they're cheap. At least then you can offer toast. Girls love toast.

No, just would like a cuddle or some fun every now and again, it ain't that bad but I just have some days where I would like to be with someone special.

Single and to be honest, I'm loving the freedom again to do what I want, when I want, how I want, the way I want. Don't know if I ever will go back to it. Been there done that, bought the t-shirt.

Worksforyou · 24-04-2014 9:36pm

Look at all the losers trying to get the chick. Leave it out squares and let the big boys take over. Yo lady, I think I've seen your picture somewhere before. Oh yeah, that's right. It was in the dictionary next to 'KABLAM!'". Ditch these fools and take a ride with me on my BMX.

Just don't let it burn or you'll end up wishing you took it out a few seconds earlier. A bit like the pregnant girlfriend.

Not sure that's a great selling point. Have you tried lying? Though that can backfire - a single mate of mine was chatting up a bird in the pub there a few nights back. She goes "so, what do you do?" and he goes "I'm a Vet, actually". Quick as a flash, she breaks into a huge smile and goes "wow! Me too!" How fecked was he? The lying little plumber..she asks him "Ok, prove it, what side is a horses heart on?". Things went downhill from there..

There's no doubt that there's decent lads out there that feel exactly the same, but at the end of the day if people are not mutually compatible in their habits and interests, they are probably better on their todd in the long run, unless someone happens to come along. If you have friends and family, then really you're grand, (families in the one house all day want to kill each other half the time) and sure if someone comes along, grand too. There's a lot to be said for your own space and doing you'e own thing, sharing it 24/7 is no picnic at times either.

If your previous relationship meant that you couldn't do things when, how, and the way you want then it wasn't very healthy. There are compromises to be made for sure, but you shouldn't ever feel that your life is dictated by another person. You obviously know this since you got out of it, but it really doesn't have to be that way.

Unless you have kids, which probably means you can't really do what you want whenever you want!

Anyone else fed up with being single right now?
