I'm really not looking for anyone right now, because I'm still holding hope for the woman I love to be ready for love. My friends and family have convinced me to make my profile visible again and put some changes in, just in case she's never ready. I've been trying to distract myself and prevent myself from thinking with the forums and trivial stuff.

A friend of mine has set me up on a blind date Monday night with some 25 year old girl. I have no real interest in going out on a date, or meeting any new women right now, but my friend set it up first and told me to be there. I owe him a favor, so I think I should go just to make us even, but I don't want to go. I'm still in love with my one and only true love.

If you really don't wish to go then don't go.Just explain to your friend your situation.If he's any kind of a friend he'll understand your feelings about it.

Well, I'd probably just sit and talk about my ex-gf the whole time anyway. *sigh* Probably not a good idea to go.

its not fair on the date as she will be going with hope that this may be the one this time and your be going there knowing your still in love with your ex ans whilst that is in your head then no one will compare, even if she is the nicest girl ever
you need to get over your ex before you can move on
good luck hug

No It wouldn't be such a good to go cause all the time you'd be thinking about your ex and wishing it was her you were there with.

Keep in mind that a date need only be a date. It needn't be a romatic adventure. It could be nice just to get out and exercise your social skills a bit. You can be a gentleman, have a nice conversation and do something fun and you might even enjoy yourself; all without taking it any farther. If you're going to be spending the night brooding about not being with the one you love, however, then I'm with those above.... feeling sorry for the girl if you go. But if you relax and don't make more out of it than you want it to be, then who's to say you couldn't have a nice night out doing something different and enjoying what might be good company.

You guys are right. For me, right now, there's just no getting over the one I love. I'm just going to stay home, drink, and kill zombies on the big screen.

I'll have to pay back the favor some other way. Plus, might ruin any chance I have if the one I want does come back to me.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I've made my decision.

My friend can ask me to do something less emotionally demanding. It wouldn't be fair to the girl, and it would make me sad, so it's a no. I appreciate everyone's help in making me see things from varying points of view.

Sounds better not to go. You sure don't want the girl to fall for you, and put her in the same place you are, waiting for a call that may never come...I'm not trying to be mean but I waited, waited and waited for a call that never came. Now I'm 41 and feel there is little chance I'll ever find someone.

Don't let yourself get to wrapped into the whole "your true love" and "soul mates". I did that for 19 years waiting for him and he turned out to be wrong for me, and he knew it. The world is full of so many people, if we are truly meant for only one, then were all pretty much screwed.

A day will come when you stop and realize you didn't think of her that day... it does get easier.
