Stick a fork in me, I'm done

[rockymountaindem]

From the continuing (non-existant) romance files of rockymountaindem...

So, today, my suspicions that "all the good ones" (by which I mean girls) are already taken have been reconfirmed for the umpteenth time. I quit. I will no longer allow myself to be tempted. I'm just going to wait until I'm out of college and established in the working world and then get a mail-order bride so I can live a normal married life like everyone else. Yep, that's the ticket.

(Of course the latter part is probably impossible to achieve, but it's a nice idea. However, I'll just keep getting taken in by the charms of the opposite sex like a glutton for punishment, only to be disappointed time and again. Nobody's available. Nobody but me.)

:banghead:

1. I'm glad you've finally found peace with the truth

2. Don't despair, rocky.

Everybody goes through that. By the way, what do you mean by "the good ones"?

[rockymountaindem]

9. "The good ones" = girls I like

i.e. "my type of gal", even thought I can't quite decide what that means. It matters not anymore.

3. Don't say that.

Nobody will show up while you're looking; it's a law of nature. In the meantime it's an easy thing to say but a hard thing to put into practice, that you must learn to be happy on your own. And it sounds like you are still young. You have lots of time. :hug:

4. Don't beat yourself up over it

It gets easier over time. :thumbsup:

7. Oh hell yeah!

6. A lot of mail order brides end up murdered or murdering their husbands.

So, you'll have that to look forward to.

8. Huh. I wonder what literary category of irony that would fit into...

10. Been looking since 7th grade here...

Don't bother looking in the future.

If you want sex, get it and hope you don't get a disease.

If you want to wait for the right one, don't bother. Your career (and bankbook) will prosper. In theory...

11. relationships are overrated

self-love is where it's at.

12. And in order to get, one also has to give. Talk about handy advice...

:crazy:

13. alas, college is often where you screw around

and get your heart taken for a spin a few times. It's part of learning.

Then later on, you meet or re-meet! your sweetie.

Just one happily married person's view.

Be patient.

[rockymountaindem]

15. I've never even gotten to screw around!

It's all just slipping away.

16. I wish I could say that being drunk helped

I was quite inhibited in those days and alcohol often seemed to be the path to my disinhibition.

Just be bold, say I. ;)

17. Are you still whining? That just MIGHT have something to do with your inability

to find a woman...have you ever considered that possibility?

Just a friendly suggestion.
