    hi, I just wanted to get this off my chest. I am 25 years old and I have not been in a serious relationship. I am fairly popular with woman, being funny and good looking (or so I think) but i never manage to find ms. right. I see loads of people in long term relationships and i wonder why has that not happened to me. I used to think that my standards were too high (personality wise) and that majority of people were with people they did not like as much as they should for the sake of being with someone. Now, I am not so sure. I don't want to end up going out with a girl for the sake of going out with someone which I did already. That was a disaster as I never felt very comfortable around her as her feelings were stronger than mine. So, nearly all my relationships end in the first month or two. Ended by me, I should add. Thus, I think it must be some sort of intimacy issue but I would not be into going for psycho-analysis as I feel that if the right woman comes along all my issues above would disappear. Anyone else, have a similar experience? are they happy now? Did it just resolve itself or were they proactive about it?

    Youre only 25 man.. relax and enjoy your youth and freedom..

    There is no rush, when you find the right girl you'll know and
    things will just feel right almost from day one and everything will
    sort itself out..

    By the way, Ive found that if you go looking you'll never find, so
    just go with the flow and ya never know, that perfect girl you've
    been looking for might just fall into your lap (literally) some night
    when youre out on the town..

    Patience is the key.. :)

    Just Chill

    When she appears on the scene you'll know. Don't try looking so hard - when you're not looking she'll appear out of the blue

    Sounds to me as if you are suffering from a touch of the old - Peer Pressure - complex.

    Forget this "serious relationship" trip, it will happen when it is meant to happen, if it is meant to happen.

    I know many who now wish it never had!. So, take a chill pill, play the field and stop worrying.

    Don't even try looking for one they will find you, then you will wish you were single again

    When somebosy is looking for a relationship to happen, they are usually externalising some need. Better make yourself solid and happy, stop looking outside yourself, and you will find that love will come to you, normally when you least expect it

    Listen Horse...... Bill is on your case......


    Problem No 1 ... trying too hard....back up there!


    Problem no.2.. women are very unpredictable...you must be a little unpredictable too.


    Problem no3... be a bit dangerous ... they like that....they don't like a punter who shows no initiative.

    Remember its a jungle out there... the strong get their rocks off!

    The weak go to bed with Mary Fist....

    Its like the animal kingdom.... the most dominant get the pick of the crop... Go out there .... think positive....

    Follow your heart and not your head, alot of us end up in
    relationships that we really don't want to be in and it can
    take so long for us to realise it.

    She'll come, don't worry, destiny just likes to fsck with us

    You really think its that simple? Does anything just come like that? I don't doubt that their are plenty cases where one
    "just finds the right person" , but I don't think everyone has it that simply.

    There are plenty 40-55 year olds out there (generally women) still waiting for the ideal relationship to happen. Of course, it never comes.
