i got internet today so, i'm pretty happy.
and it's connected at 54mbps, faster than the dial-up back home, so i'm *really* happy!

now onto the sad...haha.
sad...(?)

well, i'll be turning 24 on the 24th of this month.
and i've never had a boyfriend. it seems like when i said that at 18 or 19, that there was still some hope that i might get one.
but now that i'm about to be 24, it seems kinda blah that i haven't had one.

and while i've wanted one for a long time, i know that i'm very picky.
and since i'm picky, i've turned down a number of people.

i really want to find someone, but i don't want to lower my standards.
and since i don't want to lower my standards, i know it's going to be a long time before i find someone.

....but now that i've got internet, i guess it doesn't matter....yeah... eh-heh laugh.gif

sad.gif
i write an important thing, and do not let's finish. a way of writing for freedom.

Oh My God! You seem like me!

I absolutely like you, been single since 3 years ago and the picky thing, the standard thing, it's absolutely like me! The different is just I am 20 happy.gif
My parents already feel so bad because their first daughter still single when every girls around has so many boyfriend at once. Just like you, I just have some standards and no one could reach that standard yet.

I still enjoy this life, however, just like you. Maybe love isn't important too much for us, so I think it's okay. But since the age grows older and older, it gets complicated.

Gah! I really could feel what you feel. It sucks sometimes.

Well....I think I can't give you any idea or solutions since I need it too, but if you need spirit for the single, I'll be here for you sweatingbullets.gif

Ps : maybe you could ask your parents to search for you? Hahahaha....I think I don't mind with engagement.... Hahahaha....!!!!

high standards are set ups for high disappointment. as long as he's not a loser, what have you got to lose? you never know, he might turn out to be the greatest guy in the world. same goes for guys with high standards. there's a lot of gems out there that just need to be found, and when you find them, oh man... treasure it!

Really? Oh yeah....I guess maybe. Accumulation of disappointment could turn into high standard. Actually, I know exactly that a person like what I want is never exist. I probably use the high standard thing just for give me a hope and also to eschew from the relationship complication.

However, the feeling is complicated. Moreover for me, I found once a person with my standard but *sigh* I found out he's already married. Bwahahahaha.....!!!!! Don't know whether have to cry or laugh out loud...

However, thank you for all your concern and make me realize, hahahaha....yeah....I'll looking for ordinary guy, at least, he could make me feel comfort beside him and so does he.

and how about you, little_mixed_girl?

by "high standards", i don't mean things like money or looks.

he doesn't have to be perfect, because i'm not looking for prefection.
however, i can tell when i meet someone whether or not i'll get along with them.

i'm sure many people see that as cutting off options, but...it's true. when i first meet someone and talk with them, i can tell whether or not we'll get along.

it takes me a long time to get to comfortable with people, and so i don't like it when people try to get familiar too fast.
and in a relationship, i'm not looking for something superficial.

i have friends who seem to go out with whoever asks them out, then they break up after a few weeks or a few months and they are wondering why they keep finding losers.

so...that's my position.

don't settle for someone just because they want you. go for someone that you know you like and be happy with him.

Yeah but at the same time - first impressions aren't always right. Always give the person a second chance at least. If they make you uncomfortable - yeah walk away but if it's just because you don't get a long with them - then at least give them a second chance, I honestly think that people aren't always themselves on a first meeting because they worry about a lot of factors.

There are so many guys out there who don't look good on paper but are good for you... and tons of guys who looks awesome on paper but just aren't.

But personally, I think I'm about to lower my standards on something... I'm really tall (about 6'0) so I don't date guys shorter than I am... well, not by more than an inch or so. There are some tall guys attracted to me but man, the number of shorter guys who just hit on me... wacko.gif Sometimes, I wonder if they are just taking the piss (trying to be funny) or really think it could be possible.

My mom keeps going on and on about this or that person who married a shorter guy (mind you, my dad is 6'1 and she's like 5'3) and keeps bugging me to give one of those guys a chance. Anyhoo, I think I just might try a shorter guy. I don't know... but we'll see.

You know - thats the one thing I won't budge on? Height. I'm only 5'1 but I have yet to have dated anyone shorter than 5'11 I just can't do it - tall guys are hot.

I think that's the #1 question all guys should ask themselves before getting into any serious long term relationship. Just because one has money now, it doesn't mean one will have money forever. There's nothing worse than a girl ditching you when you are at your downest time. Also, she's gotta love you for you and not your wallet.

I agree. I've always looked for someone who's financially sensible. Some people think that's ironic because I'm dating a man who plays poker for a living, but what they fail to accept is his descipline and understanding that he has money set just for poker and money set for everything else.

That last line. I don't know whether to grade it a "Jack" verse from Will&Grace or a well-versed saying. tongue.gif Sweet though. I would only expect of another what I too can represent and give forth to him. I also don't expect a relationship of equalitarian, but one of which we both bring support, understanding, and acceptance to each other.

oh the drama.

@ little mixed girl..being 24 and not having a bf isn't a big deal...just think of it as being worry free of testosterone driven jealousy, other-girl-drama, other-guy-drama,i-think-i'm-pregnant-drama,i-got-someone-else-pregnant-drama, i-love-you-no-hate-you-drama, give-me-my-stuff-back-drama and so on and so forth.

however i will say that if you do want a bf..try not to take things so seriously..i mean, you're only 23 going on 24...it's not that serious. if you like the guy cuz he's cute, but he's an idiot..IT'S OK!! you don't have to click on some deep spiritual third level...just have fun and hang out with with him. if anything he could end up being your best friend.

the thing that gets me is why are we( those of us who are in our early-mid twenties) so hung up on finding ''the one'' i mean if you happen to find that person early on, then GREAT! more power to ya'..but don't sit and mope around about not being attached...go out. have fun. you're only young once..why waste it worrying about something as..well...dumb... as not having a bf.

you know that if you're looking and pining for someone to be with the chances of finding them are real slim...guys can spot needy and clingy and just overall depressing girls *and visa versa* and they steer clear of them. (well atleast the decent people stay away...)

(don't take this the wrong way please) but get a life. literally. find something that makes you happy and do it. chances are you'll meet someone who appreciates the same things.

...but then again on the other hand...maybe you haven't had a bf yet cuz....you're not really attracted to guys...maybe you're a lesbian..and don't know it...or you could be asexual..and not know it..lol iono..i'm reaching now...i need to take my ass to bed.

good night.

haha, i think this is one thing that others never get about me.
but, i'm never wrong.
it's not a looks thing....
when i talk to the person, i can tell. and usually as i get to know them better, what i thought the first time around becomes more and more apparant.
and it's not whether i get along with them or not....i might be able to get on fine with them, but it doesn't mean that we can date.

i especially dislike guys that try to put up a front when they meet a girl...because they all use similar lines ("i like you're hair", "you're funny", etc). compliments don't win me over!

lol~
i don't need to date "the one".
but i don't want to fool around. if i'm going to date someone it's because i like them and not because they were just there.
because it doesn't seem right to date someone if i don't feel anything towards them. especially if that person really liked me.

and while i do have high standards, i don't have a set type that i *must* get.
i'm fine with various personalities and looks, which is why i know when i meet the guy whether there's a chance or not.

the guys that i like and would have dated, already had girlfriends.

the guys that asked me out tended to be...either weirdos OR people who are ok as friends, but not as dates.

sort of in regard to your post, i have a question...

like, lets say im this guy who has no job, no money (well, lets say ill be making 6 figures in one year) but im kind of supposed to meet this girl that someone introduced. i havent met her yet but i will soon (this weekend). i come from a middle class type of family but shes from this really high class family. they are ridiculously rich lets say. i have this CRAZY pressure because truthfully someone that rich is intimidating. not the person, but like their whole family and mannerisms. it seems so easy in dramas where theres always this really rich person and the other is poor. im kinda worried, i mean, im not expecting this to go anywhere, im sure we'll just meet a few times and probably not talk after, but still... what does everyone else think?



Money shouldn't intimdate you, however money plays a big role in serious relationships / marriage. I'm a fim believer in the fact that different financial status creates different lifestyles. When that difference is bigger than 5 on a 1-10 scale. then the relationship doesn't really work. You'd really want to find someone who is like you and your family in that particular aspect.

Well the guys I'm interested in have been single forever and ever, when I met him, he was single, 3 years later he's single, and I don't know he's not interested in me. There are other guys I am interested in as well, they're single and looking, but they're not looking at me? This is the reason y I'm panicking as to what's wrong w/ me?

LMAO you're bad.

maybe you guys should stop looking so hard. just enjoy life and go out with friends, if you find someone - you find them. Whats all the rush to have a bf? It's not really all it's cracked up to be. Just think of the level of responibility you have to the other - sometimes its a lot more work and not worth it at all.

All is fair in love and war. It's not "stealing" if the person willingly leaves the current partner to be with you.
