So, I've gotten so desperate

[Dragonbreathp9d]

I've resorted to the whole online dating thing. Most people are fake, or 'escorts.' I'm 20 and havent had a relationship since high school. Dont know what I am doing wrong, but even one of my best friends (love interest, but we were best friends with that known for a year and a half, refferred to me as her 'platonic boyfriend') decided to just stop returning my calls and leaving my life forever. A fling at work was a one time thing for the girl, I wanted more, she led me on for a few weeks. I just cant seem to meet anyone that wants the same thing as me. Either I want a friendship, they want more, I want more, they want sex, I want sex, it just never works out. Granted, I'm weird, but, come one, 2 years plus without a freakin simple relationship? grrrrr

1. I didn't have my first relationship until I was 20.

Then I did pretty well for myself for awhile.
DOn't give up hope.

2. It might work out

Several friends jave met their men on line. One was able to check him out with people she knew who knew him. Another is still with her online date 3 years after he was her 2nd EVER online date. A third girl bought her husband at a charity auction.

An awful lot of my friends met their true loves at a goofy Gilbert & Sullivan performance group. Working with people is a great way to get ot know them. One guy in the group was WILDLY unattractive (still is), but has a beautiful soul, and he met his wife in the group - this is someone who would fail miserably in a bar or electronic dating situation, but once you got to know him - wow! When you're spending time with people working for a common goal, you start seeing past "Weird" or geeky or unattractive or whatever superficial stuff is in the way.

What about a group of people who share your interest?

3. My son's life was much like yours and then he met someone while

On some on-line chat room.

They dated and are now happily married and have a kid.

So watch out what you wish for!!
