I probably shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I think my loneliness is over...but not because I've found someone. In fact, I'm probably more isolated than ever. The thing is, I've found life to be really gratifying lately.
When I first found my way to this site, I was looking for some sort of explanation for why I had become wholly unconcerned with dating. Mostly, I read others posts to see if I could find this perspective I sought...but to no avail.
I don't really feel like "getting out there" into the dating world again. I'm a 29 year old virgin who has been single for his whole life with the exception of a couple long-distance relationship filled months back in '04; a relationship was something I'd wanted all my life. So, despite not really being that interested in "getting out there," I decided to join a dating site (again) and resolved to put a little effort into this ambivalence-motivated endeavor. But, you know what? I don't think it's happening.
I'm literally one day into the online dating experience and, as I peruse my "matches," I feel nothing. Sure I'll see the pretty ones, I'll read about the "interesting" ones, I'll compare the aspects of our compatibility, and...blah: nothing. There's even a co-worker of mine who flirts with me very obviously and I basically ignore it...
Before all this began, I was burned pretty bad by a female...I don't know, is it possible to be "broken" by a bad situation and feel completely happy? I've even tried to bum myself out...it just doesn't happen. Anyway...thoughts?
