In a perfect world....

We're all happy,.... We're all hopelessly, disgustingly, unbearably in love. We hear birds singing the sun is shining and all is right in the world.

Sadly this is NOT a perfect world. Yes I am Jaded. VERY Jaded, and frustrated. I think most people are?

I'll be honest. ( I usually am, almost painfully so... ) I am NOT looking for perfect. To be fair I am not even sure what I am looking for.

Good / naughty conversation? Of course. Who isn't?

A friend? Maybe?

More? Perhaps....

We all want something. Or even a piece of something. I guess that is what I want... Because something is better than nothing! Wouldn't you agree?

Ladies, feel free to drop me a line.:rose:

Hope you find what you looking for and some lovely lady comes to chat

Dude, I'm an expert in very few things in life, but trust me when I say I am an expert in drugs.

This feeling you're describing is called a dopamine high. And likewise, what a person feels during a major breakup is serious withdrawal symptoms.

I promise you that no matter how much you believe you're different, no matter how much more genuine you believe you are, you will fall victim to the Holy Grail of Drugs. Now, I am no expert in psychology and I am no expert in relationships, but I heard dating described like this - The way you fall in love is the way you'll crash. Basically, if you meet somebody and fall for them hard, you'll crash hard in the end. Vice versa, if you slowly get to know your friend, you will have a much easier time coming down off the high if you break up simply because the process will most likely be slower and more gradual.

Seek out your best friend, not your most fiery passion.

;) he is wise.

You are a sweet guy superman. Take your time getting to know someone. Let them get to know you. Open your heart slowly. It'll be amazingly rewarding. :)
 
Unfortunately, I must disagree. If he's referring to drugs figuratively- well, OK.
But, not literally.
DO NOT seek out your best friend, nor your most lustful passion. Somewhere in the middle is the one who will arrive prompting the bells to ring immediately.
-That's the ONE!
 
The three closest friends I have from Lit (the males anyway) are because they talked to me as a friend. Got to know me. Did not treat me as some sex object they met on a "Sex site" and this is why we are still close.

exactly. however thankfully superman isn't known for doing such either. he's a good guy and someone really should take that in and enjoy what he can give ;)
 
Superman rocks. :rose: I love his PMs, they are simply lovely. :kiss:

And yes, some people can be that ecstatically happy without drugs! :cathappy:

However, this made me laugh out loud, because it is true for most people.

Smiles. Thank you Tiamo15, You're making me blush :eek::eek::eek:
 
Maybe you should look through the eyes of Clark Kent for awhile.
Be alert, stay away from bars and other pick up places.
Years ago the laundromat and grocery stores were places to meet women just to talk and become friends.
Buy, borrow, or steal a dog and walk in the park. Don't rush into something just because a girl looks cute or sexy.
Somewhere she is looking for you. You just have to wait until she finds you.

The Hatfields and the McCoys are nearby. See if they have a sister who is lonely.

LOL.... My college adviser was a Hatfield.
 
Or maybe a drive to the other side of the state, across the river, to your hometown of Metropolis. We can meet up the road at Dolly's diner in Veinna for lunch.
The biscuits-n-gravey are delicious.
Lot's of pretty farm girls in there.

Let's see.... I studied organic chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, central nervous system therapeutics, plus all the other mandatory topics to become a licensed and practicing pharmacist.

I'm talking about drugs literally. People don't understand that their body is a living drug dispenser. They're called hormones.

Hello Clark,

Like many have said here, I'm no expert so take this how you will, but before I met my wife I remember telling my Father the I was never going to get married.

I had just had a bad break up with my girlfriend, at the time, because she was making plans to sleep with one of my fraternity brothers.

My interactions with women became much more laissez faire. I didn't care how they responded to what I was throwing out. I was flirting but mostly I was just enjoying interacting with members of the opposite sex. I was not looking. I can't stress that enough.

Now, I can't say that women respond better to this or that because they're all different and all individuals but it seemed like I found myself with a "full dance card", so to speak, because I was more interested in just getting to know people that I met instead of concentrating on "could this be the one"...

I suppose what I'm trying to say is STOP LOOKING and just enjoy the interactions and conversations that you are having with friends you already have here and new friends you're meeting. And before you know it you'll both look back and wonder how it all got started.

If you ever need a sounding board feel free to drop me a line.

I have stopped looking for the most part. Friendly flirting is about all I can deal with right now. Thank you for the sage advice.
 
You've been here long enough to know it comes down to interpersonal responses in threads and follow on PM's with occasional Lister's. On line friendships and flirtations are possible, some can become lasting friendships. But in the end this is all about distance related acquaintances and meet-ups are unlikely.

If you want to meet women in RL without risk of rejection then look into local hobby of fitness related groups. I guarantee you'll find fitness walking, board gaming, book reading, photography, wood working, gardening, cooking or whatever groups. Everyone of these involve men and women so you're going to be talking to women in a low threat environment

If you just relax and be a nice guy then you'll find women will come up to you and talk with you. It takes time but once a level of trust develops either one of the women will develop an interest in you or have a friend who will be introduced to you.

Very true. Believe me I have tried. I have found that the good ones are taken in the area. Just a fact of VERY small town life. The situation I am in is beyond my control at the moment. But I do have a plan.

I just want to thank everyone for all their kind words and support. :)
 
Unlike most threads and comments there have been some great responses here for anyone who is LOOKING.
I'd like to see more of this and less arguing for the sake of pissing members off.

I never had to look and wouldn't know where to start. We also live in a very small town, or outside of it. Those born here stick together and the outsiders seem to remain outside and confused.
 
Thats the joy of Lit. If we aren't fighting, we are often more like one big family. But even families fight lol
In many of my hard times it was Lit friends who helped me through. :rose:
