Soo.... I tried to ask someone out, but it didn't work. Meh, this is life I suppose. Got to move on. But this always happens. I always say I'm going to give up this time, but then someone else comes along to reject when I make an effort and the vicious cycle never ends.

I would be happily single if my family would just stop asking if I've met someone yet? They make me feel like a failure. :cry:

Well, I re-met my Jr. High sweetheart 33 years after losing contact and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

However...

In the meantime, I went through a spate of toxic relationships and three toxic marriages.

I mean, your mileage may vary. I'm not saying you've already met THE person (if there is such a thing) nor am I saying being alone is great. I am saying if you need a reason to feel good about being rejected, there's a possible (some would say probable) plus side.

Very astute. I didn't really notice but my family has done the same for a decade or so. Damn the torpedoes! Just date anyone with the fastest motorcycle! I did that once and although unsuccessful in the extreme, it did a world of good for the next girl I met. She rules...

Thanks guys.

Smudge it's not really very exciting, but I asked and he said no. I wasn't all mooshy, I was just straighforward, do you want to go to x? He didn't. I tried to strike up a Facebook conversation a few days later, just to be friendly and show there's no hard feelings and I'm now being ignored.

Meh, nevermind. I've had a nap and I feel a bit better now. :roll:

My family doesn't care about my love life. we live together and hardly interact.

I too can't give up on stuff it seems. It seems stupid for me to keep looking for love and work. yet I can't give up. :(
