Men who live in their parents' basement, are freshly separated or divorced, are chronically unemployed, or are hideously ugly.

Cool! I want to play a hideously ugly 40-year-old, who works at Burger King, and is best friends with a goldfish named Hercules.

That's right -- keep 'em guessing. Girls do love surprises, after all. :P

It's been so long, so damn long, that I have gotten comfortable with being alone. I like the safety of my world. No threat of lies, no threat of drama, no threat of cheaters, no damn threats. I answer to no one but myself.
I am too young, too good, and too normal to feel this way.
I loved the sanctity of marriage. I am in awe at the vows two people can exchange. I respect the family unit. I treasure monogamy. I believe in marriage and all it can represent. I don't want to cheat myself of that because of my fears.
will it make me stronger? Will it make me wiser? Or am I destined to be a skeptic?
I miss the presence of a man and all the beautiful things that he can bring into my world. But something is holding me back though, a fear that I can't conquer. A fear that I am not sure I should have.
And why? Why am I denying myself the fundamental need of love?

BB!! I am so right there with you. I have been thinking of posting something similar actually. I know exactly what you mean and it is so frustrating.
Lately I have been thinking a lot about it, I recently met a great guy, he is fantastic. I've met several great guys actually....and they seem to be the ones I run from.
I think I finally figured it out......I actually seek out guys who are ....not necessarily "bad" for me...but ones that are "safe" to me because there is no posssibility of anything permenant for whatever reason.
When my ex first left...I was visiting my girfriend in Calgary and fell head over heels in love with a guy there......then he moved to BC to be closer to me....and suddenly I couldn't wait to be rid of him. I am hesitant to fall for anybody with real promise....but I have no trouble falling for ones when there is no possibility of a future. How sane is that?
And it is fear! fear is what drives me to do these crazy things! It drives me nutts because I feel like I really am ready...its been 2 yrs, I am ready to move on, I do want a relationship....but everytime I get close to someone with real potential as a mate...I start to panic...then I bolt.
I'm freakin' tired of it....I hear ya on the too young, too good and too normal to feel like this.
I have this great guy who really digs me....I haven't bolted yet......I'm gonna try to work this out. I just wish people would slow down a bit ya know? It seems like these days you don't date....I mean I've seen this guy like 4 times....and already its got a 'relationship" feel to it. I feel like it would be wrong of me to accept a date with someone else....why is that? why can't we just date for a while? does anybody do this anymore! lol
Anyway....now that I've taken over your thread wqith my own problems ::)
I'm done! I just want to tell you...that you are not alone in the way you feel, I'm there too :-\
Whiskey
Okay..I have to add...Beren and frontier!!! You guys are messed up!!!! ::)
My god poor BB...if she wasn't scared enough before...she sure is now :o....I know I am ;)
