I'm continuing to be single by choice OP. My life was a bit of a mess before but right now I have a stable job in the industry I want to be in, I'm updating my certifications, training for a half marathon, bought a nice car, have plenty of time to come and go as I please, spend my time however i want. A relationship right now would hinder this. I'll go out and be coupled after I have gotten to a place where I am happy to be

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Mindset like that gets you made fun of for wearing fedoras. This advice is commonly given, but it only works when "being yourself" means "being someone that everyone likes".
This is wrong.
There are people who dont look goofy with fedoras because it fits them.
Exactly the people who try to imitate or havent found out who they can be, and then switch to doing what everybody likes get laughed at (which isnt the right response too).
I think you should rethink your bitter mindset.
Having a hole to stick your dick in might be though.
The sure fire way to guarantee never being alone, nothing is off the menu.

Lol.
Social Anxiety combined with any hobby you can enjoy alone does that to you.
If you use your brain its really not hard to understand.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

This thread died way too fast. Where are all the naysayers?
Snacks speaks from experience. Why, he's been sober for years! That last breakup was nasty.

Nothing is wrong with being single.
It's just that some gaffers act like wounded animals when they're not in a relationship.
I'm guilty of this too.

That girl should be given some sort of award though for giving him a chance.

A year ago I never had a girlfriend (I was 31 at the time). Never thought I would achieve anything substantial in a relationship.
Today I am married. Some say you just need confidence. I say you need two things. Confidence, and the will to try. You need to get yourself the fuck out there.

This right here. It needs a lot of time, effort, understanding and a lot from you. It's real rewarding, but it's no roses and butterflies all the goddamn time.
You need to ask yourself what are the pros of being in a relationship (no, having someone to fuck with and kissing are two things you can perfectly do with a friend) and what are you capable of offering to your couple. If you don't have the answer for both, then stay single, jack off to porn/play games/go jogging/learn Chinese, it's a better use of your time instead of fucking sighing about being single.
What did you do specifically to change your fortunes?

He is a gem of understanding and empathy.
I remember you having some serious issues with a girl or two (I forgot why) and everyone was telling you to break it off and get out of a messed up mindset you had. It was something along those lines anyway. What happened to that? Less than a year is a very short time to get married.
No offense intended here, genuine question.

Focused on a few things to improve myself. Joined the gym. Brought my med use back to 100% (the med reduction was holding me back). Got a stable job that pays well.
And started asking girls out more frequently. Online and in life. The more girls I asked, the less rejection hurt and the quicker I was able to bounce back and ask another girl. It's a numbers game. Started going on dates every week (mostly through OKCupid). The first date with my wife was on August 1st. The first date was a little shaky, but the second date pretty much sealed our relationship, even though it wasn't communicated that we were boyfriend/girlfriend yet.
We started off dating about twice a week. Went to San Diego on a weekend trip in September. Went to Hawaii in December. I think it was December when I communicated that I wanted to get married (I went about it kind of causally, we were talking at her place when I brought it up. We were talking about my brother and his girlfriend. Said something like "I think my brother will get married soon. But I believe I will get married sooner. What about you?". She agreed.), but didn't actually propose until a month later in late January.
The wedding was a city hall wedding. There's no real reason to spend 40K on a wedding.

I've been single for 27 year strong and I'm Loving it!!!!. Funny how people assume if one doesn't have a girlfriend all sexual contact will seize to exist. Some people enjoy spending their time alone.
