No need to be desperate just because you're single.

Not only that; you can be married and desperate. Trust me.

Sometimes less is more, but it can still be lonely. (Is that profound or just meaningless?)

I admit to being desperate before,but now I'm spending time being single and enjoying it. I've had too many bad relationships and dates.

You should look at demographic statistics and sex ratio's in your local area and country as a whole, it will give you insight into what you're up against.

In today's world people do not form lasting bonds, period, it's all about money and what a person can get out of another person. Real lasting bonds are getting rarer- and rarer in our overworked society in my opinion. People are checking out into all sorts of distraction.

And no I do not believe just because you are single you are desperate... that may be the fact with some AS guys, but not all of them.

I am one of those who are not desperate. I don't go out with just anyone. I want my perfect match.

No, because this forum is not here for people to pick up dates.

It's for people wanting advicce on things to do with relationships, whethere they're dating, single or married.

Same as what Hale said.

Plus, there are certain.. advantages at being single which if not matching up to the disadvantages (which ocasionally they do, especially after a good relationship goes sour), at least compensate a fair bit.

I wouldn't say i was desperate for a relationship.. desperate for love maybe, but with these things it really does pay to take your time.

I'm stuck in a rut now. I don't know where to turn for a date. After being smashed by a break up and then I'm in full recovery. Outside wrongplanet I don't know here to look. Would someone love me?

Is it insensitive of me to laugh?

Personally i don't get what dating all about, it seems to be more trouble than it's worth.
Ha! Coming from someone who's never dated. :wink:

But seriously, if you're not with someone you can do whatever you want, whenever you want (providing it's legal) you don't have to consult with someone or get their permission, you can be utterly selfish, and i am very selfish.

Depends on your outlook on life I guess. I have been a bit desparate in the past (you'd understand if you saw what I dated so as not to be single, then I decided to respect myself more) but not now. And I'm not just saying that because I have a fella, I wasn't desparate before then either.

About 2 - 3 years ago, I'd say I was pretty desperate. However, being desperate is, in my opinion, not a good thing. The people I attracted during this desperate period of mine were people more unstable than I was, people who just wanted me for a quick f**k and wanted my virginity over anything else. I believe they saw this and tried to take full advantage of it, whether they knew it themselves or not.

Now, though, I could really care less. If it happens, great. If not, I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. I've learned to love my single, chaste, celibate, virgin lifestyle and I know if I were to die that way tomorrow, I'd still be happy and satisfied with what I've accomplished with my life.
