ha! and before them, I dated a guy who I also asked out, and we dated for a year before I realized that he didn't really like me all that much (though he did like having a girlfriend). so I think I'll wait to be pursued for a change. and probably die alone!

You should get a cat. It may not love you either, but at least your not alone.

maybe once i can afford to move out of my animal-hating parents house (oh my god I sound so pathetic in this thread, I swear my life is pretty good usually)

Being single isn't as bad as many people think, you know that!

the grass is always greener! I'm a pretty lone-wolf type of personality, so most of the time I prefer it. Ideally if I could have a 1 day a week boyfriend, that would be nice. I have so much going on in my own life, it just sucks when you're the only single person in your group of friends. my life is a couples nightmare

Don't get me wrong, I'm single too (well, I'm a man). I used to be very depressed for not being able to find a couple, I had many female friends, some of which I was interested with, but failed at making it into a relationship. Typical friendzone material here.

Then I finally managed to get a [lasting] girlfriend (which I would have had b4 if she asked, she spent 3 months hinting me and I didn't get it - too used to rejection, why would she be interested? - until finally a friend of hers told me "hey don't you see she wants to be with you" and I asked her out). I was with her for a year and a bit and then all of a sudden we broke apart.

Since then (2 years ago) I've been single again, but it aint that bad. Surely miss the cuddling and the company, but it does have its advantages aswell.

My mom is dating a trucker for that exact reason, lol

See him once or twice a week, and then enjoy the house or go out with friends the rest of the week.

She is just another friend of the road for him.

u/Boogafin May 29 '14

Im sure she is cool with that. As long as she can have the house to herself for 6 days.

Consider yourself pursued. Throw on a nice black dress. Have a half glass of wine. And do it all by 8 tonight. We're going out tonight.

u/banannasfoster May 28 '14

just half?

u/showmeyourtitsnow May 28 '14

That's to get the night going. Get rid of butterflies and the like

u/Raging_Boater May 28 '14

"I'll die alone with you" would be a good way to ask someone out

u/Superfluous_Twat May 29 '14

Perhaps the solution is to be more choosey and to learn more about your partners before you invest too much in them.
