So I've been thinking about joining this local singles, activity group called, Events & Adventures. Basically you pay whatever it is to sign up, and then they send you a calender of events that they have planned for everyday of that month and then you pick which ones you would like to attend and then pay whatever the fee is. Honestly, it seems pretty cool. A lot of things they plan are sporting events, special dinner's, bar meetups, bowling, etc.
I figure that id for some I don't meet a special someone right away, I'll still make a lot of new friends. Which would be great.
Anybody ever heard of Events & Adventures or anything like it before? Because I know that E & A is based in quite a few other cities in the U.S. as well.
Yeah I know. But it's just so difficult and hard to accept when you feel that you gave your all, ya know? You loved unconditionally and tried really hard to keep the communication and love interest there, and then suddenly one day the other person stops caring and they want to cut all ties. It's like you try to help someone hike up to the top of the hill and once you get near the top they fricken push you down to the bottom!
How is it that two people can be a quality relationship for a good amount of time, and then one day one of them basically wakes up some morning (either literally or metaphorically) and suddenly comes to decide that they no longer give a f@#$ about the other person.
Yeah, but that person who comes along and loves me for me... who's to say that I will feel the same way about her? I mean, I just got out of a relationship where I did love her unconditionally, through all her faults.. but she didn't feel the same way about me. And I know I know.. EVERYONE wants to be all optimistic and say "Oh, just you wait.. it will happen" or "You're young, give it time," but why don't you take a look at all these other people who post here in the forum that are in their 30's, 40's, and in some cases 50+ and still looking for that one special person?
Well obviously it's a lot easier to meet women in college. Hot chicks are everywhere, man - they're in your classes and at parties! But hey, who says that you still can't go out and meet college women? You can still find a lot of them are on the net, at the bar, or whatever. And if you're really feeling hard-up.. just go checkout a laundrmat near the campus or something. haha
Ah God, I'm so sick of hearing that, too. "Maybe you're looking too hard.. Maybe you're trying too hard.." What a bunch of crap! Would you say the same to someone who was looking for a quality job?
I feel exactly the same way. I get so sick of this crap, but because I don't get out much or have as many friends as I used to I turn to places like this. Honestly though, I think these sites are alright. But one of the main problem is that if you live in a highly populated area there's probably going to be a lot more people to choose from and the singles on here are going to be more choose-y and set their standards higher. So someone like me doesn't stand a chance. I always get passed over for the stud with the motorcycle who can't read, spell or type.
Yeah.. but how people do you know can honestly say that they are happy, Ron? That's part of what I'm saying - I don't think, in this life, that we'll ever find true happiness. Probably because it doesn't exist. I think it's what we all work towards, but no matter how old we get.. we never cross that finish line.
I agree. I'm also interested in what he has to say about that. But I think I already know why, because he kinda hinted at it.. because it's safe and so much easier to hide a lot of aspects about your life and who you really are.
I honestly have to say that I'm reaching that stage in my life where I'm really beginning to lose my faith in both people and love. I mean, just take around this site and others like it... it's filled with people going on and on about what they WANT or what they NEED. It's all based on selfishness, ignorance and greed. And how many times have you heard about someone having "the perfect relationship" or "the perfect marriage" only for it all to come crashing down one day for some stupid reason. People in general are selfish, man. Whether or not anyone wants to admit it, nobody will ever truly be happy because there's always going to be somebody out there with more intelligence, more charm, more wit, more money, more whatever.. and unless both parties are 100% dedicated to the relationship and able to maintain very strong communication, it's going to fail because no matter how good somebody has it they're always going to find something to complain about and they're always going to want more, and once they have a big argument someone is going to walk because it seems everyone has a problem with confrontation nowadays. Nobody wants to try to work through problems anymore. They'd rather just walk away instead of dealing with it. That's why there's so many divorces. They create this illusion that marriage is the one big answer to everything, that it's all going to be puppy dogs and ice cream after they get married and ride off into the sunset, but once they get settled in and start to see all these little imperfections and problems it somehow overshadows everything prior to that, and that's really messed up. But that's just how people are getting. And certainly it's making it harder and harder to trust people. Especially when you hear and read about this kinda stuff going on practically everyday. It just takes so much more to keep another person happy now. It's almost damn-near impossible! I mean, what the hell does it take for someone to be happy?
*Sigh* Just so sick of it all. And it gets even complicated when you add in all the mindgames and stuff that some people like to play, too. Sheesh. It's a jungle out there.
Well, being that I'm still having a really hard time getting over this last relationship and how my ex-girlfriend treated me, I know for a fact that I would not be good for anyone right now. But to be fair, at least I have hinted about that on my profile.
Ok, so last time it was Beer & Pizza! Tonight it's Beer & Popcorn! What a lame excuse for another Friday night. But at least I did go out last night. It was "Asian Night" at a popular dance club in Minneapolis, so I had to check that out cause I am of course single now and hot Asian women are a major turn-on for me.
Anyway, what is everyone up to tonight? And whatcha got planned for the weekend?
