My Parents...
715 days ago 12 comments Categories: The Present Tags: blah

I heard my parents talking about me today and my dating habits and it really made me sad. It kind of hit home to me that I just can't seem to find someone decent.

 

The conversation pretty much went like this:
Dad: What does she think she's doing? Going on this dating website.
Mom: Well, she wants to find someone, a constant. Someone who's going to be there for her.
Dad: Well this isn't the way to do it.
Mom: Well the bars aren't either...
Dad: That's where we met.
Mom: Well, things have changed. It's not so easy...

 

And the whole thing kind of goes on from there. I don't know the parts that I missed, but I pretty much got the whole gist of the conversation from that and it really made me upset and I'm tearing up a little bit right now just thinking about it.

 

 

I've really tried to stay positive during this whole thing. I've tried to look at the bright side, which took a lot especially after the whole fiasco with F (which I still miss btw and it really takes all thats in me not to text him). But it just looks so bleak. I can't seem to find anyone in these past couple of years that is worthwhile and has stuck - and it really just sucks. I don't even know where to look or what to do to meet people. Because the bar scene sucks, there's rarely any good people there, the online scene is often filled with freaks and weirdos - and I just don't know anymore. Cry

    Dont worry so much about it. You dont find love, it finds you. so let love come to you...stop looking for it.

    I've been experiencing difficulties to in finding the right one. I also tried dating online but all I got were perverts, and the likes who would never take a girl seriously. However, my parents were kinda supportive when it comes to me going on a date as long as they knew the person....they even advised me to go bar hopping but with proper precaution. I guess, it is me who is resisting the trend of boy meets girl then fall in love.
    We'll find someone who is meant for us, but sometimes waiting is not for everyone. Just hate the feeling of expecting too much out of nothing...

    Why not go out often with your friends then ask their help for blind dates, at least it is personal and not mediated. Plus the fact that your friends set up the whole thing, that would be great... :) keep on smiling

    I am probably the last person to take relationship or dating advice from right now because I haven't gotten back in "the game" since my breakup but I am a strong believer in it will come when you least expect it and maybe if you stop looking you will find something amazing. I know sometimes that approach is hard especially when you just want to find someone but maybe spend more time on something other than dating and someone special will find you. I mean, join a new club or sports team or hang out with a new group of friends...usually any type of change like that will bring in prospects that you don't have to find in a bar or online.

    Maybe being alone for a few weeks or something will help you return your focus. I always feel like such a loser when I date someone for 2 minutes and it doesn't work out. But then I'll hang out for about 2 weeks and usually meet someone randomly and the cycle starts over again. Things dont much work out for me but its always nice to have that smiley feeling every so often. Your mom is just worrying. I don't think lying to her is smart because parents find out anyhow. Do what makes you feel comfortable but just try not to tell her so much from now on. Protect your mom's image of you in her head. It will make everyone more comfortable. And can your dad hook you up with someone? that would be cool.

    I don't know. I have thought lately about just chilling and being alone for awhile. I met someone recently and it went all weird...even though I liked him a lot, I had to stop dating him for my own sanity. Can you just chill out by yourself for like a month and then start up again? Do you absolutely HAVE to be looking all the time? Maybe that's what your parents mean. But, you're right. They are certainly not up with the times.
