Title: Demographics
Post by: Liberator on May 21, 2004, 11:06:20 pm
I'm a little curious about everyone's relationship status.  Yes, it's a pathetic, voyeuristic attempt at a non-political thread, but I'd appreciate an answer anyway.

BTW, I'm probably the most pathetic person you'll ever meet when it comes to relationships.  I can't even get women to look at me cross-eyed, much less consider going out with me.:( :sigh:

I have accepted that I will most likely die a lonely bachelor.

Married, happily, for five years. We've been a couple since before some of you lot were born, and I know since before Liberator knew that girls were good for more than cooties. ;)

Sorry, I'm an other. :) Certainly not married, no steady girlfriend, though I've been on serious dates before - I guess I'm closest to #3, but I regularly go out with bunches of friends who I do know - uni friends, church friends, old high school friends. :nod:

Umm, number 4 was for pathetic wretches like me, who have never, ever been in a romantic situation, period.  With the exception of mik and a few others who are married, I suspect most of you more balanced people, certainly more balanced and sane than I, fall into group 3

You know, I'm scared by the number of people for whom option 4 applies. I never expected a result like that, not even from the internet.:shaking:

Option 3 for me. I've had two g/f's to this point. I managed to stay together for three months with the first one and 7 months with the second. Go figure.

I'm in 4, but it's mainly because I have issues. :p (I.e. I've had co-workers and freinds of _both_ sexes ask me out, and I'm still alone.  Must be psychological)

Edit: But I have been in #3 occasionally. And I had a female friend who I always hung out with in Florida before I moved to NY. But she was more of a really good friend than a date. We merely enjoyed eachother's company.

Damnit, I fit into 3 categories... :sigh:

I'm in the same.... situation.. if you want to call it that...
I go out with friends fairly regularly. We usually find a pool hall, shoot some pool, get drunk, go to one of our homes, get even more drunk, pass out, wake up the next morning and scramble to get home so we can get ready for work. That or we substitute the first 3 steps with "play video games"

for those of you who are unable to get a date

1) Do not Try to hard, infact DO NOT TRY, it never comes to those who look for it.  (IT being Love :D)
2) Put yourself in situations where you make contact with members of the target gender often (this doesn't count as trying, just making yourself available)
3) Let what will happen, happen.  Do not resist the flow of time


Just let it happen.  I know you probably don't believe me about this, when I was in your position I didn't believe the people who would tell me this, but it is the truth.

Trouble is - it only needs to reliably work once for you to say it works. For those of us who've had a lifetime of it not working its a lot harder to be content with not trying. Anyone who's loved and lost may know how hollow it feels to have nobody when those around you find love... in light of that it's hard as hell not to try.
