I'm so lame I can't meet people online..

---

Seriously,For about a week now I've been trying to meet a chick online. Just someone to talk to. but via Text Messages on my phone. Never meet, no physical relationship, just kind of like penpals, but via phone txt conversations. NOTHING, nobody! That's probably where I'm going wrong, but whatever. No one wants to hand out there phone number to a stranger. It makes sense to me. A lot people have unlimited text. I just want someone to text. But I got nothing. No ones up for it. Craigslist turned up nothing. No one is up for it on MySpace.It sucks. IRL I can meet people left and right, i'm a very good people person. Then I go online and bam.. Nothing but rejection.. Damn, then internet is rough. Could I really be that lame, no one on the internet likes me? Ouch... /end rant

try plentyoffish.com

done, and done.. Message a couple people..We'll see what happens.

good luck!

Try putting some pants on, going outside, and meeting a real girl.It's actually easier, and much more fulfilling.

Ok, that was completely unnecessary. he said hes not looking for a relationship or anything past talking and you seem to be treating him as if his life depends on his connection speed? wow...

yeah I did that whole thing too. Met a chick at bookstore.. we talked a little, recommended some books to one another, walked out together, and then went out for a bite to eat. Pulled a number, and we've been talking about a month or so.. I'm in Littlerock, AR.. but she is from Dallas, Tx She was just up visiting family, but plans to move back in the fall. Met another chick at Home depot. She worked in the garden section, I caught her dancing in an isle to some shitty music, and she laughed and got kind of embarrased, and had this OMG did he see that look on her face. I just said Oh yeah, I saw... She laughed and we started talking. We sat in a garden swing and chatted it up for about an hour.. Pulled a number, but she's got a boyfriend. I prolly won't pursue thatIt's not that I have a problem "putting on my pants".. it's just I just broke it off with money grubbing succubus of girlfriend of 3+ years.. truthfully man i'm a little broken inside. I miss the whole aspect of having a female companion i can share things with that I normally can't with my buddies. Just a chick to talk to.. Sometimes it's needed. So back off a little man. I'm just a dude looking for new people that I normally wouldn't give a second look.

Yay I finally feel helpful because I just went through something similar.Best advice is tell yourself this line, "Who gives a fuck." Now before I get flamed be an adult about it, and just remember how much better off you are moving on with your life and how much you are going to accomplish. You can PM me and we can chat some, as I just overcame something very similar.

Do you need a hug?Strangely enough, that web site I mentiond was my dating life for the first year after my separation. It also lead to my pants laying on several floors other than my own My intentions weren't pissy at all (although hugs are always welcome.) I wasn't trying to be snarky or harsh or suffering from any lack of understanding. I was merely pointing out the fact that f1y is looking in the wrong place. Whatever his need is, and I believe it to be a legitimate need, scoping for girls to talk online or by text is not gonna meet it. It sounds like he does a good job at initiating and carrying on face to face conversations, but he gives up when they won't give him his number. So my question is...does he really just want a "pen pal" or is he looking for something more. Either one is a good thing. He just really needs to be clear (and honest) about what he's really looking for.It's my opinion. Take it or leave it.

I would rather meet someone IRL rather than on the internet. People lie so much on the internet and it's a little out of control. Like... you can't trust anyone. And the web is hurtful. Why do you want to meet psychotic, biased, narrow-minded, prejudice, hateful, terroristic idiots on this stupid thing?

Sorry. I'm still stressed out. From my usual manner, It's difficult finding people on the web to just be friends. Most people are sex-hounds. That's not me hold on. Let me try again.

Usually if you're on a website like this one and you're discussing on any random topic like this one and you find someone that you agree or even disagree with until the point it's just the two of you... that's usually the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Was that good enough? Ugh... I'll come back on a better day but I hope that helped some.

Plus, if you're a nice guy like you say you are it shouldn't really be too much of a problem.

I'll let you know when something happens if that's what I wanted I wouldn't put to much pressure on yourself. I think it's probably more common than many of us want to admit...the whole not knowing exactly what we're looking for. Sometimes it's just best to "explore" (in a healthy way, of course) and let "what you're looking for" reveal itself to you. Make sense?By the way, on looking back I fear unsupervised might have been right. I think I came off a bit snarkier than I intended. My apologies. I hope you got the gist of what I was trying to say anyway.

and i apologize to you, i was a bit miffed that it seemed like you were pegging him for a lifeless loser when (at the time) it sounded like all he wanted was a penpal at which theres really no problem with finding one over the internet

Thank you.
I feel sufficiently chastised and condescended towards.

Haven't you heard, Rad?
I'm a lover, not a fighter. :wink:
