Honestly, all I really crave at this point in my life is not to bed another girl every weekend but to be in a serious committed relationship with someone who takes the good with the bad - and I do the same with her. And maybe then we can start a family together a few years down the line.

For all the talk of men having commitment issues, it seems to be a trait a lot of the women of my generation share. Or rather, they have issues committing to me.

I'm not bitter, just a bit disillusioned with life. When I imagined how my life would be like in ten years time after I just finished HS, me being single was not part of the plan. Not that I presume you can plan for love, but I don't understand why it's so much harder for one person than the other to find the ying to their yang.

For the record, that wasn't an excuse. That was genuine self reflection on trying to understand how I function, and then sharing it with complete strangers on the internet so they can barrate me for being screwed up because we know those people aren't screwed up themselves.

I know I'm screwed up Toobs! I wish I wouldn't tie my own happiness to the presence of "The Other" in my life, but alas, such is the way I am wired.

I can relate to this.. in the many phases of life i have experienced. I hope you find "The Other" that truly helps keep you happy in your life SS. Its not screwed up to do that BTW. Detachment is healthy when there is no one there but to find happiness with someone and being able to chose this is really cool when you are not single.. and if you are single.. I hope you have lots of people that can give you a piece of happiness to complete it in your life..

I am babbling on Christmas.. sorry.

BUT please have a wonderful Christmas and I hope the New Year brings you the happiness we all dream for.

I guess I am going down the posts now.. lol

i can tell you why some people have a hard time to find the yin.. but its a long explaination that varies from person to person.. bottom line .. its not looking for the person that trully best fits or looking in the wrong direction for what is real happiness in a person .. and its getting the emotional stuff started too soon with one person to realized that there maybe someone else near better suited for the commitment but you are too involved with the wrong person at that time. Like I said so many explanations and each person has a different senerio to work with.

These feelings tend to crop up around this time of year, so my advice would be to drink rum and listen to Lindsey Buckingham, circa 1979.

Failing that, anonymous sex with a weirdo. Do they have Craigslist in Belgium?

Indeed they do. Only a few hours have passed and I already regret that post.

Anyway, I have since fought my bad spell of the blues with the one, ultra-potent cure-all that never fails me: a Lee Marvin marathon.

After watching Big Red One, Point Blank and The Dirty Dozen in quick succession, I now feel right as rain.

Imagine doing this nearly 900 times and you'll be at my level!

Not necessarily.

Ten years ago, I was a poor uni student, but I had 100x more success with the ladies.

Now, I'm a boring single guy with a substantial amount of disposable income, and nothing to spend it on.

It's his party and he'll cry if he wants to

Cry if he wants to, cry if he wants to

You would cry too if it happened to you

I'd say it depends more on the reasons. It might get old fast, or it might be the best thing that happened to you. Just my two cents.

Yeah but I live in New York City which is the greed capital of the world...ok maybe Los Angeles is but it's close. I wish I could move to a smaller town and be with a nice girl who doesn't expect to have a fortune spent on them. :yuckky:
