Venting About Love
Venting About Love / Dating / 5:34 PM - Sunday May 11, 2008
(Female, 22-25) asked:


Why do other people seem to find love so easily? Why is it that some people can find it over and over again? I know it's not always real love, but they always have someone that wants to be with them. I fell in love. All I want is to be with that person. I even want to just walk up to them and ask them to marry me. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. He doesn't seem to care about the friendship we once had. Yet at the same time he hasn't pushed me out of his life. I'm no longer sure what to think about his actions. Why would he ignore me but not push me out of his life entirely? How do I get the guy that would talk to me daily back? He's gotten to where he doesn't leave the room when he sees me. Which a couple weeks ago he was so mad he would have stormed out. I'm so lost and confused. So many people are pressuring me. My family wants me to settle down, but I can't unless it's with someone I really love.

I feel I have rambled on way too much. Sorry.

Yes
stop that damn rambling j/k

lemme answer your questions:

Q: Why would he ignore me but not push me out of his life entirely?
A: Because he wants to keep the option open to sleep with you again just like any other man.

Q: Why do other people seem to find love so easily?
A: They don't most people just settle for what doesnt piss them off too much then paint a pretty picture for other people of them being happy.

Q: Why is it that some people can find it over and over again?
A: Because they have low expectations thats why it is over and over again and not once correctly.

Q: How do I get the guy that would talk to me daily back?
A: You don't. Its best that you try and find someone who actually cares about you and isn't trying to keep you in their life in the hope they can sleep with you one more time.

Q: My family wants me to settle down (?)
A: tell em to piss off you have the right attitude except for hanging on to this guy and they aren't the ones who have to live with your decisions you are. at the very least tell them your lovelife is none of their concern.

Some people "seem" to find love so easily because that's just how things work. Maybe it's really true or maybe they (as you put it)just "seem" to. Regardless of this, it's better off if you stop worrying about what happens to others and concentrate on yourself instead. You should ask yourself, if some people find love over and over again, are they really that lucky? Isn't the "goal" of love to find the one person that does it the most for you? And if it isn't "real love" then what the hell good is it? I know several people who settle for just having someone with them, but in my opinion, I'd much rather be alone than ever have to settle for someone I'm not in love with.

You say that you've fallen in love but aren't giving us enough information with which to base an accurate assessment of your situation. He's ignoring you and he was mad at you for what? Did you do something that made him angry or something that would make him have to ignore you? Did you cheat on him? If I were him and you did that to me, I'd have to say I'd probably react the same way..I'm just being honest here. I can certainly understand your confusion, but you have to ask yourself if it was something you did to make him be in this frame of mind. If it truly wasn't something you did, then he's just being immature and/or playing hard to get. Yes, even some guys have been known to do that. It doesn't sound like that's the case though, so the only way to get to the bottom of why he won't be your friend anymore (or boyfriend) if that was truly the case would be to sit down and have a talk with him. You should only do this after he's calmed down a bit and in a neutral place.

The other problem that it seems you have is that you're allowing people to pressure you about your relationships. That's a no-no. It really shouldn't matter what the hell your family thinks about you settling down, unless you were making a mistake and they wanted to tell you to wait a while. In that case , it'd seem like they were doing you a favor. You have to see that you're still young and there's a lot of time left. What's the rush to settle down? When you rush things many times you end up making big mistakes, and making big mistakes having to do with your relationships are about the worst you can make. Your last statement should serve you well if you heed it's advice. Only settle down with someone that you love and that you know for sure really loves you. Never settle for just anyone because they're there and you have no one else. And never settle down because your family expects you to or you think that your biological clock is ticking. Try to look at it this way...There's approximately 6 billion people in this world. About half of them are men. Those are pretty damn good odds for you as a woman. Maybe try expanding your horizons and living a full life. Do what makes you happy and try to make yourself the best possible person that you can be. After all that, I'd say your recipe for success in finding a deserving mate will pay good dividends. Good luck to you!

First of all, don't settle down because your family wants you to. Settle down when the right person comes for you. Do you honestly want to live in a marriage where you aren't truly happy? Its YOU who will be dealing with the marriage problems, not your family. They have no say in this period.

Secondly, this guy is around because you might be his backup. Forget him. You want a man in your life, someone who will go to all ends to prove to you he is the one for you, not you chasing after him. He will come in time, just focus on other things like a career or volunteer at a good establishment.

Because you're focusing your energy on someone who isn't interested. Do you REALLY want someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings or respect the friendship you once had? My guess is no.

You want someone who wants you for you...and who you don't have to chase.

Take some time to yourself...love yourself FIRST. Yes, it sounds corny. But take it from me...I did that, and now I am in an awesome relationship. I'm with the man of my dreams..actually..he's better than what I've ever, ever dreamt.

And tell your family to back off. Tell them you are happy by yourself. My Dad keeps talking about me getting remarried, and I've only been divorced a year and a half. Do what makes YOU happy!!
