Today is another day that I was blocked on facebook for cold-messaging a girl which I didn't know. After a couple of hours it still kind of hurts.. I mean I've been dating women for a while (I'm in my late thirties) and every time I get passed aside it feels like it's the first time. How many rejections can a guy take? Actually this post is not a question I think, somehow I just wanted to talk to somebody about it. I've been single my entire life, I had only 1 girl who really liked me and I liked her back, but that lasted for only a few months. It doesn't hurt also that she used to model and do beauty pageants, a bit of a stunner when wearing make-up, but the reason I broke up with her is because she had a kid and I wasn't ready to be a step-dad. ever since then my love-life has been a barren desert. Back in my 20's, I used to ask girls out if I found them attractive, from bank tellers, to airline cashiers, to elevator girls, masseuses, waitresses, none of them really stuck.. I don't know what girls are looking for to be honest. If they say no the first time, or shows disinterest, should I still pursue her and show how serious I am (or is she testiing me?). Am I not boyfriend/father material? I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm nearing 40 and still stuck in a rut. What do women want in a guy? I'm pretty decent, I don't have much vices besides videogames, I think I'm pretty normal, physically I guess I'm ok-ish? I wish I could live the life of couples in movies, like going to war and meeting your partner, having somebody to embrace after coming home from a battle (well yeah technically not applicable to this era)...
