i'm a dating snob

Andraste said:
see, sometimes i just think you're a prat *sigh*

maybe some people just aren't that into it.

and this actually comes from months of therapy!
basically, learning to tell society and it's expectations to take a flying fuck, because there's nothing wrong with not being into that.

You think I'm a prat? That gets me hot.

I'd love to get to know you better. Could I have your number? I want to call you and meet you for a drink sometime. Maybe dinner?

and making me laugh just makes it worse!
 
Andraste said:
yes, but i'm not into the dating process.
yeah, dinner is nice...but not earth shattering.
and, for all my hormonal horniness, sex just isn't my thing.

the things i find fun you might not.

and when i get a night off from the kids? the biggest desire is a nice bubble bath, a cup of tea and a good book.

company=ok when it's there, but not something i have an urge to seek out most of thetime.

and when do i want company, tea, shopping & gossip with my best gf is more fun than dating.

if i was suddenly awestruck by how wonderful someone was, then i'd date them because i'd actively want their company.

I like these things as well, I read 4 books a week. But I prefer coffee to tea.

Admittedly, I am a horny, horny bitch, but most dates do not lead to sex. (Despite my skankalicious reputation.)

It is fun to get to know someone, to learn what makes them tick.

How can you be sure that a person is (or isn't) wonderful enough to make you awestruck after speaking to them for only five minutes?

not giving people a chance.

This could be better than giving too many chances. If you are happy being single... then why worry? To each their own, and no matter what anyone tells you, there is no need for people to all "pair off" to achieve happiness.

So what was the point of this thread? When people give suggestions you defend your position, but then you say things lke this...

I just know, for myself, that if I were happy with what I was doing and I felt secure about it, I wouldn't ask what other people thought, and I wouldn't try to compare my experiences to theirs. People that are really happy doing what they do, don't worry about what other people are thinking/ doing.

That's sexy.

i was asking for suggestions for "fixing" myself?

bullshit i was!

i was noting an aspect of myself and requesting comparison...a view of human behaviour which is usually hidden.

it's called curiosity. that's how people stop being ignorant of other people's thoughts, feelings and intentions.

shut the fuck up
 
If being single ever becomes to much to cope with, please send me a P.M letting me know.
I know a guy that sells Morphine, a load of that with a glass of water will make all your problems go away.
I'll even pay for it.

Why would you want her to a dope addict?
Or were you insinuating she take her own life?
 
I don't think you are a snob.

I am EXTREMELY picky. I really am. There is always things that attract me in the very beginning, but after that... it is quickly either a yes or no. I don't waste time and think... maybe.

I get bored very, very easily. If a guy can keep me on my toes or interest me on new levels each day... I melt and become devoted.

Maybe I am a dating snob, but after all the years of issues... I have learned to NOT make the same mistakes and having my own set of standards is a good thing.

For some of us, time is tight... we have to prioritize what we do. I would rather be alone and relaxing (or working) at home than out to dinner with someone I am not attracted to mentally. The physical attraction can come with time, but if the brain ain't there, it is a no-go. I work a lot of hours, and need a reason to make time for someone.
well said, if within the first 10 min. there is no connection, its time to move on.
Life is too short to waste on someone you dont find mentally intriguing.
I look for 3 traits-honesty,ambition,sense of humor. Beauty is the icing on the cake, not top priority. Now, to find a woman that has all those traits, she is a rare gem.

Who's his alt?
 
I can understand wanting some type of chemistry. After all, there really has to be some kind of common bond, shared interest, or even lust, to kindle a relationship.

But being too picky could be an indicator of something else.

Is it being picky...or fear?
Fear of being intimate with someone else.
Fear of letting someone else see who you really are.
Fear of letting down that guard and being venerable to another.
Fear of being hurt.
Or fear of falling out of control and enjoying something that you have so long denied yourself?

There's a very large and distinct difference between being comfortable with your own company and being afraid to let someone close enough to be intimate.

As for the little things, like leaving half a dozen bottles of assorted shampoo/conditioner in the shower, I couldn't do without those.

It reminds me that we are never perfect, that each of us has things about us that aren't quite right. And besides, what would I have to bitch about if she didn't do something I didn't like?

I don't think it is

Andraste said:
in the past i always thought that made me cold.

but is needing people a good thing?

If you need people then people have the power to affect you and your sense of self. It's attachment instead of connection, in my opinion.

If you don't need someone but choose instead to be with that person, friend or lover, it would seem much more solid. In the many choices someone could make, they choose to be a part of your life. I think that's pretty special when people can have that sort of relationship.

Although one of the complaints of my ex-husband was that he felt I didn't need him or anyone else.

I think that men have a desire to be needed. I find men useful and interesting and fun, but I don't need one.
