This is pretty similar with what happened with the dude and I, sadly I allowed myself to let it go on too long. Good for you for getting out.
Also because I'm on an anti-online dating rant this week, I will totally say that I think it does breed this idea of "something better" when you have access to thousands of women it doesn't make them appreciate the good ones.
I don't know.... I mean he is interesting and I enjoy his company and think we could have fun together but I am not interested in being hurt again when he finds someone better. I suppose one day I will meet the guy who thinks I am the best out there
Men around here are so confusing...I am more successful, intelligent, traveled, and educated than pretty much every guy I go out with here and I feel like I am not good enough sometimes. They are just looking for something I am not I guess. I actually don't know what men are looking for at all.
Okay you know I think you're awesome, and I've told you this before, but you keep saying how much better you are than all these men and I wonder if that isn't coming across in some way. I also agree you've met a lot of duds though.
And just like women, all men are looking for something different. We can't try and guess what that is, we just have to be ourselves and we'll eventually find the person who is looking for that.
Well I definatley took what you said into consideration and really focused on being down to earth and mostly talking about my family, my camping trip, my past and tried not to be overly annoying about anything. I really tried to be myself and be open and not be bragging or anything. I was really aware not to come off as full of myself
I am over online dating for now
I honestly think we'd be so much better off as a society if online dating went away. And I'm sure you're totally awesome on these dates. I'm just stumped because you do seem like a girl who men would love, so I'm like what is going on? I'm guessing location is what is going on...
eh.. I say that but sometimes I don't really believe it.

I suppose I am going to spend the winter alone working on myself and then move to Portland in the spring time hopefully. I just sometimes hate my ex husband so much for being such a complete fucking waste of time and I hate that I spent most of my twenties with him.
I'm such a hypocrite right now, because I'd like to shake you and tell you stop being so down on yourself, and OF COURSE you will find someone that thinks the world of you. But, I feel *exactly* the same. I am just not convinced I'll ever find anyone that really thinks I am awesome - where I feel the same about him.
Me three! I think the biggest issue is that it's not a guarantee right? And there really isn't anything you can do to ensure it happens. It's not like advancing your career or something. What you put into it doesn't necessarily mean what you'll get out of it.
I think this is why you just have to try (and I'm getting there) to be at a place where you love your life no matter what.
eh.. I say that but sometimes I don't really believe it.

Trust me ladies...i was where you guys were up until this week. i was SO over dating for a long while...didnt really respond to many messages on the sites and didnt do anything. I just didnt CARE anymore...well I met a cool guy last week and then an even cooler one this week. Seriously, its been MONTHs of me on these sites, and I never met someone before this week that i liked a lot that liked me back. I promise, there are some guys out there! Keep looking!
I am going to work out, learn spanish, go to Peru and move to Portland in the spring. Sex is fun but I don't plan on having any for awhile and I am ok with that
I feel yea RV. And YAY Portland. When I get like this I realize it's time to start refocusing on me for a while.

Well I am sure that did come off as a big arrogant but I have not really been dating quality men here. I have spent a large portion of my life getting an education and working towards my goals for myself personally and professionally. I want to be with someone who is ambitious and successful. I am not trying to say I am perfect or amazing but I want someone who has worked for and acheived some goals and made learning about the world outside of Idaho a priority. Most of the men I meet when I am out here are unemployed, working part time, haven't been anywhere but Idaho and Oregon, etc.
On match there are currently 31 men aged 30-35 with graduate degrees and no kids in my area... some of them aren't active so there are about 20 that are.
Do you only date guys with grad degrees? Just curious.
