What the fuck is wrong with women?
I'm sitting here at work, wondering why I'm still single. I meet attractive, intelligent women every now and then, but when it comes to dating them, I'm at a loss. I have little, to no problem dating the ones who don't live up to my standards. The few occasions that I do manage to get the ones who live up to these standards, I choke up. I have a nervous sweating problem. Whenever I'm nervous, I sweat like a pig (I know pigs don't sweat). I think I blew it with someone I really liked and hoped that I could have seen on a regular basis. I managed to embarrass her, but not in a "bad" way. She's intelligent, attractive, a great personality, and funny. But whenever she's around, all I do is listen to her. I've been known to talk waaay to much, but around her, all I want to do is listen to her--scary thought. I'm a nice person, non-judgemental, and very easy going. I talk a lot of crap, but when it's someone whom I like, I shut up and listen. I guess that one day I'll find someone who will appreciate me for myself. I've been told that I'm handsome and that I should have no problem finding someone. But all I ever seem to do is screw it up. I've been in love only a few times and would do anything for a few of them even to this day. I do anything for someone who could be my equal. I've only met someone like that only twice in my life. The first one still lives in Houston and I miss being able to talk to her. The other is in this same town, but won't respond to anything I send her. I think that she's afraid that I'm not how I act (nice, then turn into an asshole). Either that or she's afraid that we are too much alike. I like this woman, but I don't know what to do anymore. She said that we should get together again, but won't even respond to my friendly e-mails. I guess that I'll have to feel like it's her loss and not mine. All for now.

not that i am an expert on this topic... but hereis my 2 cents: finding yourself wanting to listen to her isnt a bad thing. most men dont listen (some dont even pretend to listen)... i think the lady you are interested in may very appreciate your patient ear. good luck.
Our entire lives are a mid-life crisis. Morality sure kicks you in the guts when you pass your thirtieth birthday. You've lived two thirds of your life and you wonder what the fuck is the point of the final third. I wonder if every time we are scarred by yet another, failed relationship, our criteria and checklist for the 'ideal' partner becomes so vast that although we believe what we're searching for is straight forward and simple, it is in fact, an impossibility, like reaching out for a mirage. Everyone so darn desperate to find and hold onto that one tiny shard of honesty and decency that exists in the worl, there just isn't enough of it to go around. Maybe what you're looking for will turn up when you stop looking and trying so hard to find it.
What's the bet that by then, you'll be so comfortable in your own skin that you wont need it any more?
If you come on too strong - she'll think you're a deranged, obsessive stalker. If you try to hold back and give her space, she'll think that you're being indifferent and don't give a fuck about her. You can't win. I really don't know where the answer lies - I agree, women are fucking bizarre. Try a man. ;)
