A lot of people don't end up going into a relationship until later in life so you shouldn't be beating yourself up over never having had a boyfriend yet. There are also plenty of people who don't finish their post secondary education until a bit later in life. My mom started going going to college in her 30s. She's thinking about potentially going to university too.
@EvisceratedJester I have been through a lifetime of male rejection and its always the same outcome no matter what I do I am never enough.
Over the summer I met a guy (nothing serious) who is 30 years old as I was ready to move on from the 55 year old man I was in love with. He was a very tall redheaded white male from Norway. I really liked him for his personality and I genuinely was attracted to him. He made me feel so inadequate oh my god.
I regularly told him that I find his hair and deep dark brown eyes beautiful. The compliments I gave where never enough for him. After complimenting him on my many occasions he asked me to confirm if I find him physically attractive. It was so hurtful because I worked so hard on those compliments I gave him.
These were the compliments I gave him
● "You are eyes are so soulful, warm and inviting I never get tired of looking at them" This is how i genuinely felt every time I saw his eyes.
● " you are very handsome man" ", I love your long beard"
But still the man questioned me over my attraction to him.
When it came to my height his comments were hurtful
● He pointed on multiple occasions how "Tiny" I was compared to him. He mentioned how his exes were "not as small as me".
● He questioned how someone small like me can be attracted to man big as him. I told him I don't care about his height because "I am staring above his face and I like what I see"
I was getting fed up of him having a problem with my small height so I tried to find out why he has a problem with my height. So I asked him the following question" if we were to have sex are you scared of breaking my bones and me going to A&E[hospital]"
The man response was " yes - that was one of my initial fears " meeting you
I was interested in genuinely knowing this man as a person and all he could think about was sex and whether or not he will break my body. It's not physically possible to break my body for a woman's body to break during sex the man must use excessive force.
He even gave me the slient treatment for 2 whole weeks and acted like nothing happened. Eventually we parted ways amicably
27 is still young, I'm sure you'll find someone, what are you studying in uni?
@JoysoftheEmptiness I am doing a masters degree in Law. I want to be a lawyer working for The Crown Prosecution Service as a prosecutor or specialising in an area of law working in government or assisting law enforcement or working for a charity. Working in non law related jobs made me miss studying law and forced me to look at what i really wanted in life
The older I get getting single is more and more harder everyday something so natural other women can do I can't get ot right and have a man be genuinely interested in me.
Every time a guy shows some interest in me it's because he has split up with his girlfriend and needs someone to pass the time with. I have always been the rebound girl and feel incomplete as a woman because of it. Why am I always a magnet for men whose relationships have broken down and then leave once they get back with ex. I give all this love and care only for the men to discard me once they reunite with their ex girlfriend.
If not the rebound person I just attract men who don't make any effort to want to know me as a person. All my life I have known male rejection over and over again.
Over the summer I met a guy ( nothing serious) in his 30s. He made me feel inadequate and never enough. I gave him compliments because I was genuinely attracted to him and liked his personality but still he was questioning my attraction to him and asked me to confirm if I found him physically attractive even after I complimented him.
He had made hurtful comments over my small height and he even gave me the slient treatment for 2 whole weeks, it was so cruel and caused me so much pain.. we eventually parted amicably.
what spaces do you pursue men? clubs? bars?
Over the summer I met a man( nothing serious) and this is how I pursued him.
He is 30 years old and from Norway. The guy and I knew each other because I am a regular customer at the CBD shop he works at.In the shop we regularly talk to each other and we have the most interesting conversations. The shop is at certain times has no customers so yeah that is how we talk. Whenever I come to the store he looks happy to see me
In july when the shop was closing I asked the man for his number and asked him if he can go on a walk with me. The area has canals and lots of markets.
He actaully agreed. We had a great time on our walk and that's how we got messaging each other regularly. As time went on he began to make me feel inadequate and never enough for him no matter what I did.
I put up with his unhealthy behaviour because I was scared he would give me the slient treatment again. The man had a lot of insecurities and issues from being abused by women in the past. I feel very sorry for him and we decided to amicably go our separate ways.
