What's a guy suppoosed to do?

i want to marry Rosie.

 

How about "co-conspirator" instead?

 

Great post by Rosie.

Is some high school rivalry b.s. really keeping you from pursuing a woman? C'mon!

We've discussed it on sj many times, but.........................

If you use it as an insult, one might wonder if you're good with it. Some women would be turned off by that use of it. Pairing it with 'drivel' is particularly unfortunate. And you never know, you might meet a woman here.

It sucks that you were near the ladies room, but go the extra mile to not even give the appearance of ogling. Be a gentleman!

I'm sure something will break for you soon...

 

Stop making work the center of your life.

 

Women can sense a lack of self-confidence like dogs smell fear.
You have to be cool, not cocky, not being over obvious.
It's a tough balance.
Someone once told me when you're not looking is when you're going to find someone.
It actually happened to me in a way, although I was pursuing her friend.
Felt like the good Lord evened things up for a lot of years of misery.
Hang in there and take some of the advice of the others here, they make some good points.
Perhaps, ask a friend who is going out with someone to ask her if they have any single girlfriends?
Can't hurt.

 

Dude, one phrase, two letters:

AA

The chicks you'd meet there would be perfect for you; plus, they'd never know you once watched women leaving the toilet at work years ago.

 

I'm think if you're single at age 40 you should have a few bucks saved up.
My advice: Hookers!

 

Sounds like the gas is pretty much out of the tank. Try making friends first. Baby steps. Don't make every approach to a woman a do-or-die situation.

 

Gonna throw this out there and wait for the ridicule, but along these same lines — Weight Watchers.

I know, sounds stupid as all hell, but it has real potential. First off, I joined and went from 290 to 220, so that's a good thing, BUT ... I was stunned at the number of good-looking 30-something women who attend meetings. And, yeah, they all have a little to lose, but most of them are only dealing with 10-15 pounds ... very few of the pre-surgery Star Jones variety. Lots of divorced women trying to take their lives back ... not unlike yourself.

Being a married guy, these women were of no interest to me, but it's a veritable gold mine for guys looking for a low-pressure place to meet women. You'd have to put in the time ... can't act like it's a singles bar ... but the ratio is silly (like, 25-1) and any man in the place comes off like the bravest, most secure guy in history and it sounds like you could use a little of that.

It sounds crazy, but if Mrs. Bangs ever kicks me to the curb, I'd give it a shot.

 

Patchs is right.......your lacking self-confidence. Women are most attracted to confident men,...looks, style, job, car, will all be overlooked if you carry yourself with confidence. I'm sure you often say to yourself..."why is that beatiful woman with him?....I'm certainly better looking than that freak!" Most likely that guy had the guts to confidently approach her, and should could tell he wasn't concerned or worried if she turned him down.

 

another thing you can do is ask a woman you know -- wife of a good buddy, cousin, etc. -- to give an honest assessment of the way you come across to women. make sure it's someone who is honest though.

 

HANGIN’ AROUND
By: Counting Crows
She sat right down on the sofa
I said, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you.
Cause last night I had something so good
These days get so long and I got nothing to do"

Chorus:
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town so long
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town for way too long

We spend all day getting sober
Just hiding from daylight watching TV
We just look a lot better in the blue light
Well, you know I gotta get out
But I'm stuck so tight
Weighed by the chains that keep me...

Repeat Chorus:

And this girl listens to the band play
She says "where have you been?
I've been lyin right here on the floor"
Well, I got all this time
To be waiting for what is mine
To be hating what I am
After the light has faded

Repeat Chorus:

Way, way, way too long
