Just venting

Hi everyone! I hope it is ok, I just need to vent somewhere today. Most of my friends are in happy relationships, or are guys and do not understand where I am coming from. I am a single 24 year old female that just keeps kissing frogs. For example, this weekend, I hung out with this guy who I had a good time with, we hung out a couple times in the past, whatever. But, now nothing. No call, except for one canceling our plans tonight. Awesome. And, this is the repeat for basically the same type of situation with other guys. Why is it that everything has to be so complicated? I do not want a serious relationship (I really dont), it would just be nice to have someone there that actually wants more then just a once in awhile weekend fling. Does anyone date anymore? Do guys ever hang out just to have a good time, not to just get laid?? Can anyone relate to this, or am I just meeting all the losers?

Thanks :)

Nope, I'm with you. :) I don't necessarily think it's that no one dates...actually I don't know what it is. :) I'd like to think it's a dry spell, so I'm still clinging to that. But no, you're not alone (and I'm a 23 year old single female). Have you been dating guys your own age? They seem a little clueless about dating and stuck in between that goofy awkward high school/college phase and actual dating. Again, I bring up the example of the guy bringing his twin brother out with us to a hockey game. Uhh, what?? He seemed nice, but just like he didn't know WHAT he was doing.

Haha, seriously what is that??? Yeah, I would say I have been dating between 22-26ish range. This last one was 22, and that probably was the problem. It is typically younger then I prefer, but he seemed more mature. But, true to his gender, he wasnt :)

I think men will date if you make them.

Those women that I want to "hang out" with are women I'm only interested in having a friendship with not a romantic relationship.

I get tickets to shows and concerts and right now I have no gf so I ask women that I have just met that I think they would enjoy the experience. I don't consider this dating because I'm not interested in them as a partner so you can call it "hanging out."
