    Right,

    Someone has got to figure this out? is it my imagination that there are a very small number of singles girls in this city ( dublin ) or am i imagining it?

    25, and i cant seem to hold a girlfriend, im career orinatated work 7 am till 8 every day and do half days on the weekend, have 2 businesses. right i understand that im busy, but when i meet a girl, get on great, take her out, but for some reason i cant comit due to time!!!

    I go out at the weekends but cant seem to pull, all the girls i have been with are tru working relationships and friends or friends

    Is there any point going out at the weekend at this age to pull, cause i never see it happening like it used to, are we now too old?


    is it my fault( i think it is ) or do girls just need a HUGE amount of attention

    Nope, the don't need a huge amount of attention, the simple fact of the matter is that you work 7 days a week.

    The do need SOME amount of attention mate.

    You've answered your own question there mate. If you want a girlfriend then you need to MAKE some time.

    but for some reason i cant comit due to time

    Bit of an oxymoron there OP !!!

    Its nice that you have a good work ethic, but like anything taken to the extreme it can become harmful !!!

    Possibly due to the amount of time you spend working you dont have many interests or time for developing yourself outside of work!

    Although imho girls/women are nowadays more material than in days of yore* -I think the only types of girls who will be attracted to a workaholic will be the ones with €uro signs in their eyes, so do tread carefully OP !

    Maybe calm down on the career for the time being and cultivate your interests, that will make you more interesting to potential girlfriends and friends.

    *my youth! ;)

    A partner is not something you slot into your schedule.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I was interested in a guy for a long time, contact was on and off for about 7 years. He always said that he was really interested but he would never make the time or effort to meet up as he was to busy. He lives in a different part of the country which made it a little more difficult but I was willing to travel.

    After 7 years of trying to get something going I gave up, I wasn't looking to be the center of his world and I know his career is imprtant to him but some effort on his part was necessary. It may or may not have worked out but his has missed the chance to try. He's 30 years old and hasn't had a relationship in about 8 years.

    Most women don't expect to be the center of a persons world but some attention is necessary especially at the beginning of a relationship.

    Thats all he needs to understand.

    How can you even wonder why you're single. Re-read your post? Relationships are complicated, they're hard work and take time and effort from both sides. Clearly you're not THAT interested in being in one, if you were you'd make time to allow one to develop.

    Maybe they're getting the vibe of "I want to 'get' a girlfriend" off you? Like getting a sliced pan.

    You must be joking. Eh yeah... people don't pull anymore at 25...

    Nicely put Wibbs, us woman we do need our attention. 7 days a week is a lot to be working, you would be worn out trying to balance a realtionship and such a highly demading career.

    I wish you luck that you will find a woman who understands how busy you are with work.

    :o

    you might be a good candidate for online dating. You just have to be honest in your profile about when you are free.
