It's been a while since I went on here but then I realized this site seems to have some understanding, intelligent people. Anyway, I met a woman my age a week ago and we hung out today...she likes me as a friend. I wanted to say "ok I get it. Sorry I won't treat you like trash and I guess I'm not the idiot youre looking for." This is getting really old. Btw I actually respect women and unfortunately that's an unpopular idea. I don't act desperate and try to ge a gentleman but I get rejected...on the rare times I actually get interested in someone. Real shame because she seems nice and she's quiet but not that frigid, nasty type of quiet. Honestly I'm just really discouraged and havent dated anyone without involving drugs since I quit well over a year ago
First, congrats on making better life choices for yourself. That's a daily struggle.
Don't give up on dating...there's someone out there looking for you right now. They deserve your respect, kindness and love...and you deserve the same from them.
Remember that each "no" gets you one step closer to the "yes".
