I don't really know what I'm looking for anymore. I've spent two years looking, y'know?

I even have a list of names that were all failures.

I don't really know what to do anymore...I mean...how many different people, and methods, can you exhaust before you just have to give up?

I find it pathetic.

Any thoughts?

You can always try EHarmony, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I know of a few people who have found that exact someone through eHarmony's extensive researching methods of compatibilities.

This is a last ditch effort though, I still approve of just going out and looking.

and Eharmony totally costs money!

like i said, last ditch effort.

what are you exactly looking for anyway?

eff, someone to pay attention, like me, want to spend time. I sit in my goddamn house all day doing NOTHING because nobody wants to bother. I can't even get most people to talk to me on an average day.

Hey TVent i know how ya feel man. Since i was like 13 years old I dreamed of finding this perfect girl and spent so much time into searching for that one perfect girl. But I don't think we really need to search so extensively. I like to believe that things tend to work themselves out for the best if we are simply patient. At the same time I guess my theory has yet to successfully do anything other than give me an excuse for being single haha. I dunno, if there is anything thta I have learned in life, it's that there is always somebody who loves you, sometimes it just takes you too long to figure it out. Trust me on that one, it's the story of my life haha

I went on eharmony.com, and they got on to me because i mentioned masturbating in my profile.

yeah I don't see why they would possibly do something like that.


I just want to feel like I'm noticed and someone cares,

Well, you are still young man. You have a lot of time (theoretically) to find someone. I think you should worry less on finding that someone, and firguring out what you are going to do in life.

I already know what I'm going to -do-.

And i'm not looking for "That someone".

I'm. Looking. For someone. Who'll care. and notice.

Well... where are you looking. What are your techniques? It is a skill and an art.... it must be mastered.

I'm looking 'everywhere'. I don't have a technique either. I talk to people.

sometimes that isn't good enough... It is hard, very hard. And sometimes harder for some than others.

Yeah, no kidding. When I -try- I get nothing. But when I stopped trying, someone came to me.

I wish I could offer advice here, but I may as well be in the same boat. I'm still going through with what was mentioned in my other post in this section, but for some reason, I'm not nearly as optimistic today.
I think the problem is this, though.
We are all at least semi-smarter than your average Cumberland County student, yes?
Mentally, we've blossomed and matured much faster than those around us.
3 words.
High. School. Girls.
While we look for compassion and companionship, they have a much more shallow checklist.
Going into and coming out of this point, many to most attractive girls (despite what they say) are into the tough, or rebellious, usually somewhat stupid guys OR they have their standards set incredibly high, sometimes from their attitude, or their religion, or their parents, but whatever the reason, you are still overlooked.
From what I've heard from friends, and from what I've observed myself at several different colleges (I have friends I talk to at UT, MTSU, a couple in Florida, and one at Vanderbilt), this is when many girls make the transition into "reality."
In "reality" that bad boy they used to be into has no particularly bright future ahead of them.
In "reality" that perfect guy may not exist, or maybe he's just not exactly the way those high-standard girls initially imagined him.
Now, don't get me wrong. This is not a stereotype that should or could be applied to every girl. There are plenty of already good ones out there. They're much harder to find, though, as they don't feel the need to flaunt themselves about like some others, do.
Maybe that quiet girl that keeps to herself would love the opportunity to talk to you. Maybe she's waiting for you. The one I'm wanting to ask out would've never known a thing about me had I not taken a strong initiative. Actually... I'm pretty sure I would've made a complete fool of myself had she not gone along with me... but that's what they call risk, right? If the girl thinks you a fool for trying, then she's obviously not the right one for you.

This is also my question.
YOU say you do stay at home constantly.

You need to go places and meet new people.

I can't go places, I have no car right now, and nobody ever wants to come out to crab orchard and gimme a hand by driving me...even though I totally have gas money.

Borrow your parents car. Boom. Transportation.

I don't think they would let him. Just save up and get one. A car is an indispensable resource in the dating "game". ..sadly

They let him before!

I have a car, it's broken!
And yes, they have.

Well borrow it for a day to go somewhere so you can meet people.
You're certainly not doing that in your house.

The only suggestion I have for places to go to meet people is Mr.Ed's. And i'm -not- going to a trashy bar.

Go to the bowling ally. The skating rink. Chuckles! I'm not sure if there's cafe-places on main street or whatever. But if there are. You should try places like those as well.

All of those places require money, and I'm short on that most always.
