Is it me or not?
| Sat, 11-18-2006 - 9:12pm |
I have been single for the past 2 years. In that time, I have only gone out with one guy, and it was only a few dates that never went anywhere. Since then (6 months ago) I haven't had any prospects at all. I just work all the time, and then come home, and go back to work. I love my job, but it is my whole life, and I want my life to be more than this. So, I just can't figure out why guys don't want to go out with me. It's not for lack of trying, because I meet people all the time, but there just hasn't been anyone. I am a teacher, and the only guys that want to go out with me are my 16 year old male students!! I can't figure out if the problem is me or not...I am just frustrated and don't know what to do about it! I keep trying to tell myself that it will happen on its own time, but I am beginning to get impatient! What am I doing wrong?

Hi! I had to chuckle at your post b/c I've been subbing at a high school. I may need to pick your brain on how to handle 16 year olds! :)
As far as the dating thing, I feel the same way a lot times. I've been divorced for a year and sometimes get in a rut where I'm just working and coming home. However, I have had a few dates this year. My advice to you is this, and I need to learn to take my own advice: just relax. One thing I have found this year with the few dates I have had, is that men can really sense when we're down on ourselves. As women, we have to stop being so down on ourselves and thinking we're doing something wrong. Believe me, I do the same thing. I think if you just try to have fun and don't worry so much about what you're doing wrong, things will begin to happen for you. I know that's easier said than done! :)
Please feel free to e-mail me anytime! I think we would have plenty to chat about!

I have no idea.
I've been single for 8 months. Only actually divorced for about a month though. I've gone out on two dates and had a makeout session that I wouldn't quite call a date with another during the last 8 months, but I haven't been out at all since July. Decided I wsan't ready and then there was lack of people asking me out too.
I am a single mom to a 14 month old. I work a lot. I stay busy. I usually go out with the baby. I have tried and am currently trying online dating. It just seems like there are a lot of freaks. I get checked out by men when I go out, but no one has ever come up to me and asked me out (since I've been single). I don't know. This is a whole new thing for me.
I'm looking for some prospects myself!
