So I have had about the worst luck with men lately. I'm 27 years old and I'm totally starting to feel like Bridget Jones, destined to be a spinster.....
I moved to this town a year ago, which is 400 miles from where I grew up, so I'm just starting to get to know people. But all the guys I meet are either married, divorced with kids, alcoholics, have some awful quirk, or they're 21 years old. I don't know, maybe I'm just getting very picky.
The guy I'm breaking up with is 23. We've only been dating a month. But at 23, his life revolves around his friends, and he just doesn't know how to date someone. He makes plans with me, then if his friends plan something, he ditches me. Sorry, I'm not just going to be someone to hang out with during the week and then have him break plans with me on the weekends, so he and his friends can go ride their motorcycles. I'm too old to play high school.
Sorry this is turning out to be a vent. I just have no idea where to even look for a decent guy. There's not a whole lot to do in this town, although I'm sure the summer will be better, but who knows.
Thanks for letting me vent!

Y'know, now that I think about it, at that age, I too had that same experience. lol. Maybe it IS the age bracket.
I would find guys who were 21, partiers, etc, or the men my age had like 2 kids already, or just as childish at the younger ones, or older men, like in their late 30's. It's like, where's all the normal men, MY age? lol.
Hugs. At that age, I was married a second time, then divorced, then dating my now dbf. Can't say 27 was a great year. lol.
Vent away, I'm sure we've all heard it. Sorry, no advice on how to find normal ones.
Cher, you're awesome. Thank you so much for all your posts.
My bad luck started at 20. Got married and divorced within 6 months. Then dated a guy with 2 kids for 4yrs. That ended badly, couldn't do the whole step-mom/deal with the ex-wife thing. Then I dated an immature, un-educated, possessive guy for a year. That ended.
Then I moved 400 miles to be closer to my parents. And the town sucks. It's about 30,000 poeple, no colleges, therefore no younger people. So it's full of un-educated, drinking, smoking, really old or really young men. Or at least that's all I've seen this past year. I ended up with one of these types of guys for 3 months. Killed my self esteem. And then I moved on to the immature 23 year old I'm dating now. Don't ask me what my problem is.
Anyway, some days I don't know what i'd do without these boards!
