You know, I knew it before, but now that I'm in a relationship, it really makes the "single guy looking for a girl" scenario even more comical. 

Until you're single again.

I can sadly relate to this at the moment... meaningless encounters with someone who didn't have a clue where Iraq was on the map suddenly seem more attractive now

[Mobius]

I dislike ignorant girls(and, more in general, people). They may beautiful and attractive but if they show me their impressive ignorance and shock me, then...well...I don't want to deal with them anymore.

EDIT: Fixed "may".

That's the way I felt with her, and now I'm regretting it, caus one of my best friends is rooting the chick i was meant to be rooting

[General Battuta]

Wow, uh, some of you sound pretty frustrated. Which I certainly don't disrespect, but I hope that doesn't translate into rage towards women.

You were meant to be rooting? That doesn't seem to leave much room for her desires in the equation.

[Mobius]

Depends on wheter or not you want a serious relationship. If everything you want is to f**k then you shouldn't care about her ignorance...but if you do want to experience something serious then forget about her.

Ignorant people are very likely to come from ignorant families. My gf is not ignorant, I met her when I was still attending the lycee, but her relatives are. And that bugs me because I usually feel like "What kind of people are those?!? "

Its a weird state of being.  Its getting over that part from the single to being in a long lasting relationship that is so chaotic and turmoil filled.  Nobody ever has good advice for that part.   Only the lead up to it.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

How can there ever be advice for something like that? Everybody's different, and as no two people are alike, the same goes for relationships.

[Mobius]

True, but there are groups of individuals who have something in common. We're not 100% different to anyone else.

[Mongoose]

I feel like I'm just fine staying in the "single and not looking for a relationship" stage for the foreseeable future.

[Mars]

That's where I was, and then an amazing one came and surprised me.

Trouble is, you have to know at least a single one in general to find said amazing one.

Its true...everywhere I go now and not a single single girl in sight.  Well a small few....but nothing clicking there.  The last wedding I was at I don't think there was anyone single there at all.  I'm thinking the last resort of online dating may still come up.  Those eHarmony commercials are starting to work.

Maybe I just got lucky then, I mean we had a ruff spot that nearly took us apart, but it really only strengthened our relationship in the end. I wasn't looking for a relationship, not even a friend, yet I not only found the best friend I could ever ask for, but also found the person I love dearly and somehow loves me. For those who believe in God, I know we were set up, for those who don't just come to your own conclusion.

But, the reason I said it was comical, is that maybe if you can't find someone, just don't get desperate. I just wonder if most aren't willing to go through the time it takes to create a strong relationship and just want something to occur overnight, and BTW that includes listening to problems and sincerely wanting to help out, not just wanting them to fall into your arms for listening.

Yeahh I agree with you, you've got to genuinely want to sit through everything and like the person for who she is, looks wither with age etc

No problems with any of that.  Even met a couple of people that I think I'm compatible with and just have that feeling that they could be the right one ...which is where the other shoe always drops.  Not single...not for a long time...totally unavailable.  I got burned waiting for one once just to see if that would work.

Not desperate...but sometimes its a bit hard: only single person in the entire venue, only single person in the party, gift cards such as movie night free for two, trips I'd like to take...but have to go by myself (meeting new people is fine and all...do it all the time...but ...usually unfulfilling), etc.

[Mars]

Well parties no one is really single, it's just they were before the party and will be immediately afterward.

[Mongoose]

At least you're getting out there.  I've rarely talked to anyone outside of my immediate family (whom I live with) since I left school this past May.  Not only have I never read the book of love, I've never even set foot in a library.

[IceFire]

As far as getting out and being with friends....that takes work and sometimes its serious amounts of work.  People will remember if you go to something but they will remember even more if you didn't.  As much as I hate it.,.Facebook has been key for both keeping in touch with people as well as organizing events within my circles of friends.  I'm out every weekend or every other weekend...

Keep up with people. Invest the time.  Its worth it.
