Not necessarily true. I would love to be approached by women (makes it easier to comprehend their desires than trying to glean information from their nonverbal actions). Unfortunately, the only times i've been approached were not genuine... many times in high school women came on to me because I had good working knowledge of the class material, not necessarily because of actually being attracted to me...

That's a pretty tough experience, but I don't see how this contradicts what I have said.

I'm saying I would love it if women approached me (and were genuine about their feelings, etc.), since that would take out all the uncertainty on my part.

Oh, so would I and many guys I imagine. I'm just saying it's not something I think a lot of guys are used to. Like, say, having to turn someone down on the spot.

I'm currently trying to detox myself from a severe crush with someone who hardly notices I'm there. I'm not even sure I want this to end. Speaking from my own experience, having a crush is one of the most cruelly excruciating experiences one can have.

It can be painful when your feelings are not answered the way you were hoping, but on the other hand I am thankful to have those feelings. Every girl that I meet and develop some feelings for, gives me new hope that I will sooner or later meet the right girl to join me in exploring this world. Even if the feelings remain unanswered, that bit of hope alone keeps me going really and keeps me optimistic. So I still do enjoy a crush, the butterflies in the stomach and the fantasies of me and her together are sweet, and no painful rejection can take away that hope that is fed again.

Although I must add, I hope that mrs Right won't stay away for too much longer. I feel I am ready for the next step and would love to meet that girl now rather than just having those fantasies and dreams. Dreaming is fine, realising a dream is much better. I already experienced that when realising my travel dreams, I hope that other dream will be realised also without having to wait for another 10 years...

My brother went on a week cruise recently in the Caribbean. He said he met a lot of very nice and pretty Cuban girls on the ship.

So maybe you could combine your romantic wants with your travel dreams?

Meeting nice women during your trips is totally different from meeting women who want to travel the world themselves though. There are definitely women out there who share my dreams, but they aren't that easy to find. The majority of girls seem to prefer the settled life, family life ; a small minority wants to wander, and I need to fish in that specific pond. I guess I should hang out in traveller bars attached to backpacker hostels more frequently...

Most girls I know prefer to travel alot. Finding one who wants to settle down at this point in my life is near-impossible...

Can you introduce me to them? :) I seem to always go to the wrong places to meet travelling girls. I would love to meet more of them but face the opposite problem of yours: all nice girls I meet somehow want a family and to settle down. I need a traveller girl, I am too much attached to my life on the road to give it up, just looking for a lady who wants to join the ride :)

A crush is like...getting squashed by a really huge rock in the shape of a heart.
