Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

Few things have a 'guarantee.' Doesn't mean you can't hope or look.

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

well, i agree with that, i'm just saying the language of "it will happen eventually" is always kind of weird to me

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

It gives you something to believe in and allows you to stop stressing about it and think about other things.

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

but if it gives someone hope, it's a hope which may be false

i just feel like you can communicate "stop stressing about it, it is not the be-all and end-all of life, if it happens it'll happen in its own time" without saying it that way

i don't know, maybe i'm just being ridiculous here, it just kind of bothers me

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like you're being a little bit mean for no reason and maybe this conversation should end.

Also I should note I'm not the original anon you were talking to, sorry if I gave that impression.

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

Original anon you were talking to - sorry my wording apparently wasn't to your liking.

I'm not trying to be mean, but...

I've been single my whole life. I'm not weird or anything (I don't think, anyway), but I'm in my late 20s now. And I see everyone around me in relationships, and it mostly seems to make people happy, and I'd kind of like to join the club. But it's never clicked with me. And so when people tell me "One day it will be your turn!" when there is no guarantee of that, it's kind of...not really helpful. It's not really helpful to have the people in relationships come along and say, "Oh, it's not the be-all end-all!" not because I don't believe them (because duh), but because that isn't the point. I'm in my late 20s. I have a college degree. I have a steady, if totally uninspiring, job. I have hobbies and friends and I do fun stuff in my spare time. And I do all this single, so obviously I am totally capable of handling the whole IRL thing without somebody there to hold my hand. I know it isn't the be-all, end-all. I don't think it's stupid for me to sometimes want somebody to hold my hand anyway.

Basically, it doesn't ever happen for some people, even if they aren't weird. At this point, I'm thinking I'm one of them. And that's fine because my life is awesome, but it's lonely sometimes and I don't have an SO to call and pester about that. And if this is you, there isn't really something people can say, but every time they try it just kind of reminds you that you don't have this. You pretty much have to learn to deal with it on your own.

Re: I wanna fall in love

original person who disagreed with the "It'll happen someday" here -

You said everything I wanted to say, probably better than I would have done. Everything here, I agree with. Thanks.

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

You're in your late 20s and you've decided it 'won't ever happen'? I'd understand you saying that if you were 60 or even 50, but really? I figure most people seek relationships from about age 15 to at least age 65, so you are, at most, something like 25% of the way through your dating life. Saying it won't happen seems kinda silly.

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

This. Life doesn't end when you're 30.

Re: I wanna fall in love

[(Anonymous)]

Well, would you rather I'd posted 'sucks for you, it's never gonna happen'? I mean, it's not like any of us can see the future, so there's always the chance. Yes, it doesn't always happen, but I don't think being pessimistic was really going to help anything. I likely won't win the lottery, but I can daydream of it sometimes.

But hey, whatever. Basically, I was trying to be nice is all. So much for that.
