Why must a loving soul be so alone...

[ForceUser]

I've met a few nice guys online.

Personally, I find dating--the whole ball of trying to meet someone, going out, worrying about the impression one makes, spending money on restaurants/movies/theatre/etc.--to be a chore. I dated throughout my twenties. I'm over it. I just do my own thing these days and meet people along the way. Some turn out to be great friends, others casual pals, a very few potential partners, but most forgettable.

This didn't address my question at all.

Sorry. But that's my POV on the whole thing.

Me too. That's probably why I aim to have friends moreso than trying to find a date.... and if something comes out of it, then cool... but if nothing, then there's no worries there. And we all have fun in the process. Just hanging out with friends is worthwile, IMO.

Buy a big cute dog. Find your local dog park and go there often. If you don't have a dog park, a well-trafficked walking path will do as well. Trust me, you'll have to fight off the ladies with a stick. Cute dogs are like the spanish fly of the 21st century.

And if you don't meet a girl, you'll accomplish two things. 1. You'll have a nice companion who will never fight with you or cheat on you. 2. You'll get some fresh air and a little exercise too.

Anyway, a friend of mine, as a joke got me one of those "European Connections" catalogs. The name is a misnomer, since they are all Russian, or from a Soviet state. It's basically a travel service. You pay a lot of money to ...

Dude, don't pay anyone anything, especially sleazebags hawking women on the internet. Just go. It's a rock solid guarantee that you'll meet plenty of fine, talented, beautiful young ladies.

I realize I'm repeating what other people said here, but
Faith is important, You've gotta have faith in your ACTIONS
Not only be happy with yourself , but be confident about your actions
Everyone can sense confidence.

This thread reminds me...

...I need to advertise.

93 minutes straight, 7 times (for her). Single employed male in NYS seeks SF for monogamous relationship, eye toward marriage/family desired, but not required. See above, references available upon request. Reply via e-mail to m3gal0man1acATyahoo.com (replace AT with @)

Fruthaka, I'm in the same boat as you, but 7 years farther down the road. You're not alone, and the competetion is vicious and mean. Take me for example.

This is nitpicking, but it's billions. The world population passed six billion a few years back.

A billion is 1,000 million, so his statement wasn't really wrong.

Couple of hints for you:

-Get out of the house and meet people, just be around people and meet as many people as you can, expand your friend group and just learn how to talk to all sorts of different people. It doesn't take money to get out of the house and be around people, just get out there. You will meet no one sitting alone in your house. (being with friends while out will help when it comes to talking to new people too, groups breed confidence).

-Get over yourself and get on with your life. Lets face it you might never meet anybody you can spend the rest of your life with or you might meet a dozen different people next week. You still got to live your life though. The only thing that can complete you is you, having a girlfriend or wife will not automatically make you any better or more complete. Stop worrying about it and just get on with your life, this type of self pity party is like kryptonite to women, nobody wants to be around somebody who is like that (and believe me women know, even if your bright and cheerful on the outside they have pity party radar). You got to be happy and confident and self fulfilled all on your own first, self confidence draws them in faster than anything else.

-A friend of mine back in High School gave me the best dating advice I've ever heard. "Ask everybody out, even if you have to ask 100 girls out all you got to do is get one to say yes and you have a date". Talk to women and don't be scared to ask and get shot down, what's the worst thing they could say? No. If you never ask anybody out for a date then you will never go out on a date. The more women you talk to and ask the better your chances of getting that one to say yes will be.

I have had faith for so long that I'd find that special someone by putting my life in the hands in the one from up above...

Thats what I did last year. The one from above sent me someone I thought was my soulmate and we really hit it off. I was so happy for awhile. Then I found out that person was deciving me from the start and not anything like I thought she was, She is a major pot addict. I'm still devistated by this so its back to what I used to do for female company.
Escort servies are the way to go, you get what you want, she gets what she wants (money) and you don't have to go though all that BS of buying them crap or taking them to dinner or any of that stuff. So either way, you are still spending money to get what you want. Weather its paying for an escort or paying for dinner, you still spend money to get what you want, so its no big deal.

What services do escort services provide? I am aware that there are a couple in my area.
