I agree with that theory about moving on and accepting, and it does work for some people, but my situation is a little different and it’s hard to accept a friend not being in my life. Right now, and for the past 6 years, I haven’t dated anyone, I’ve been alone, I work and come home and sleep. I stopped going places because it gets old going alone. I want to experience life with someone. I eventually want a wife and kids and I think having a family would be a great thing for me. This girl is the only friend I have in the town I live in. The other two friends I do have, they live in different states, one is a few hours away, the other, a couple of days away. Up until last week, i’ve been working to pay bills and have maybe $30 a month to spend after the bare necessities. To not have her in my life, and not being able to see her son grow, that’s depressing. I don’t want to give up on her because I feel she deserves a decent guy in her life, regardless of whether it is me or not, she still deserves a good guy. I feel i’m that person, and she’s even mentioned that she’s thought about dating me, but that conversation in particular got interrupted and we never finished. I still don’t know how she feels about me, or where I stand with her in terms of being relationship material.
I don’t date because simply no woman has shown interest in me. I have tried, and i’ve failed every time. I take this personally unfortunately because it feels like it’s because of who I am they don’t want to give me a chance.
