I have had a lot of nice comments from people on here already which is fantastic, but after watching a few of my friends today, spending time with their gfs, im wondering if maybe being an old fashione dkind of guy is wrong. Iv had some bad experiances at high school sadly and when i
talked with a girl one time about how i felt, she was so cold towards me, saying no girl wants to be with someone as dull and as ugly as i am and they often teased me at school for being so shy, quiet and just
me. Im to sensitive so i take it all to heart. I really respect and
want to be a wonderful guy for someone, to be able to take them for dinner, to enjoy a nice walk by the sea and just to share and talk and
be happy together, not make love and thats all. Are my ideas a little old fashioned for this day and age? Do you believe good people always win in the end? Sometimes i doubt it a lot, but i always keep positive :). Sorry for the rant, i just need a bit of help really, so please share how you feel. Thank you :).

Stop it right now!

The kind of woman you want is thinking precisely the same things you're thinking!

She's seeing all her girlfriends frolicking with the studs and wondering if she's the one who's out of step.

You NEED to quit thinking of this as YOUR problem!

Don't think about how YOU can find her.

Think about how you can make yourself available to found BY her!

Only then will your strategies begin to pan out.

You'll still need to make the first move when that moment comes.

But at the same time you need to do an "about-face" in your mind.

YOU are the prize!

Fix yourself up and make yourself available and attractive to the lucky woman!

That's where your mind needs to be.

She's out there. But she's a rare jewel.

Get yourself out there where she can find you and BE PREPARED to seize that moment.

Take control of your destiny.

Damn the torpedoes and full-speed ahead!

Like Abra said "Stop It" ..... stop beating yourself up emotionally and mentally. Concentrate of cultivitating your best qualities and those are ones that you are be self-critical of - STOP IT.

To find a man who thinks and would act the way that you describe is rare so please know this and appreciate yourself. Normally this maturity and wisdom is found later in life and to think that you already have grasped these concepts is WOW - unbelievable.

The girl who said those cruel and mean things to you when you were in highschool was a fool and she was cold towards you because she possessed a cold heart. I understand that her words have had an impact on you and words can be extremely painful sometimes. But what also needs to happen is that you need to examine those words to see if they are the truth or not and from the little that I have read from your posts and the inkling that I can understand of your character is - the truth is you may be shy and quiet and that is totally fine. I bet that you are not shy around your friends so its a matter of you learning to be comfortable to share .... and shyness is something that can be overcome and its a matter of putting an effort into starting a conversation, asking some questions and letting the conversation flow. People love it when you ask them questions as people love to talk about themselves .. so I encourage to practice starting conversations .. you might be surprised at what you learn about someone.

As for the rest of the "hogwash" that she said to you:

dull - not true
ugly - my gosh have you really looked in the mirror - you're a hottie


If I could warp your age by say about 20 years .... I'd be interested in getting to know you for sure and I'm sure alot of other women as well. You are a total sweetheart.

Please keep that beautiful smile on your face and look in your mirror everyday and tell yourself about all the beautiful qualities that you possess. Make am I am list of your qualities and characteristics ... say them to yourself and post some in your room too .... affirmations are wonderful and you need to change that tape that you are playing in your head. You are listening to the wrong channel .... change it to I love me and I'm a wonderful person.

Hello rob...handshake

Just listen to Abra and the girl of your dreams will sweep

you off your feet. smitten

I think it is GREAT that there are some young men out there with

old-fashioned values. applause

Don't change your personality or who you are just because you think

it might "please" someone else, stay true to yourself & someday,

the right girl will fall in love with your heart, and those old-

fashioned ways of yours. yay


Rose.

Nicerob,
I don't think do. In anycase ther best is to be you. Don't change that. The right one wil come along and you're already taking steps towards this, right? I believe in the old fashioned way of things but perhaps there's something to be said for a combination of good methods. What does someone mod have to say?

Take it easy,

I think it has become a lost thing in some generations...

I am aquarus, and really not very romantic...but, I do have some old fashioned, or should I say, steadfast values...

like before...

being anything other than who you ae is nothing gained... improvemens where you need them are different...

choose to be you, or choose to be putty in another persons views and lose yourself...
