Hello, new friends. I asked this question on my good buddy LT Profits' weekly CFB thread, but I wanted to get some insight from the community as a whole. JJ Gold Lakerboy, Seaweed, ANYONE who has had some measure of success with the ladies. I'm in need of serious help and have nowhere else to turn. Essentially, my situation is this: I'm incredibly lonely, and it's taking a toll on my life in the worst possible way; if it wasn't for gambling and whores, I don't know that I'd still be alive, if you get what I'm saying. (And if you don't, I'm talking about ending it, once and for all. Retreating to the world of eternal slumber. It's something I still think about from time to time, but I'm doing everything in my power to stay resolute in this black hole we call "life".)
It's hard to meet a good woman these days. A co-worker recommended online dating, so I gave that a whirl a couple of different times when feeling especially desperate...let's just say that my results were less than spectacular. Granted, I'm not the best looking guy in the world, nor am I the most interesting, but I'm not hideous by any means whatsoever and I do alright financially. The way I was treated on these sites, you would have guessed I was John Merrick, "The Elephant Man"!
One quote still sticks with me. I sent a woman a friendly message, and her response was this: "I wouldn't touch you with a 10-foot pole. LEAVE ME ALONE." Perhaps I've artificially inflated my attractiveness/life prospects as a self-defense mechanism? I've struck out so many times that I start to get sick when I think think about it. Literally sick to my stomach.
If anyone has any dating tips for me, I'd love to hear them. I know this probably isn't the best place to be seeking such advice, but I don't trust therapists who just try to pump me full of medication, I don't really have any of my friends, and most of my family is dead, except for my aunt...but trust me when I say that you do NOT want to heed her advice...Listening to Aunt Rhonda is like playing with fire, and you can't possibly imagine how many times I've been burned.
Thanks a bunch, everyone. I'm eagerly anticipating your responses.
And, most importantly, BOL to everyone in CFB, NHL, and MLB playoffs today.
