Very true and very hard to find...romantically speaking. If I find a good man, he will feel wanted. Hell, I made my son's dad feel wanted and he treated me like shit. I know I'm capable of appreciating someone.

To me, it's a natural human need/desire is to be wanted and loved.

I have always felt that way... untill the one i loved made me seem crazy for it

True indeed

Unfortunately you can't be wanted without expectations, and no human can sustainably fulfill all expectations all the time. What people really want is to be wanted unconditionally, and that's an oxymoron. The closest you can come is for someone to agree to enter into a shared fiction with you such that they implicitly agree to ignore their reservations and irritations about you if you do the same for them. And in my experience that's even hard to pull off. The abstraction always leaks.

If I could go back for a "do-over" in life, yet knowing what I know now, I think I would approach my relationships with a lot less idealism and high expectations, and then I would naturally question whether I should even bother. Most likely I'd fly solo the whole way. It costs a lot less in emotional energy and even money.

Hi, Anthony, and welcome to the website,

Maybe you'll find someone special here.
This website has a bit of a learning curve if you want to date.

If you answer the profile questions and write your profile, listing your hobbies and interests, you'll earn website points, and members can get to know you.
Commenting on posts and writing your own earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

The website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many women prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find compatible partners.

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

You bet! And I must check online to see what the experts have to say about why that is and how it came about. Then there's the issue of us not wanting people - using headphones, man-spreading, MGTOW and what- not. That's in public, I guess. I wonder do people coming home from stressful jobs just want to be left alone instead of wanted?

And coming home to someone who is happy to see you

Reminded me of the old saying: lock your wife and your dog in your trunk. After an hour let them out and see which one is happy to see you.

@Louise1920 I'm pretty sure that even my dog would my ass if I did this.

Isn't there really anything else? ?

Hope you find that special someone to love and be loved.
