Is it me?

By Jules - 12/06/2024 08:00 - United States

Today, I once again have to attend a family gathering and never hear the end of, “Julie, you’re 33 and you still haven’t found a man?” What they don’t understand is that every time I pour my heart out to a guy, I always get the ladder kicked out from under me. As a result, I can’t get close to anyone anymore. FML

Been there girl I’m the only one left in the family with no kids. Just keep your help. The universe has something amazing for u.

OP, unless you are living there with family you really don’t have to attend family gatherings if it causes you pain… Regarding dating and relationships, most men and women are scared off by someone who seems desperate for a commitment too soon. You have to let relationships progress at their own pace. A sudden declaration of “true love” while you are still getting to know someone will scare off all but the desperate and the predators… I understand, we all want love and companionship. But you have to take it slow, especially in the beginning. Let feelings develop. But at the same time there are reasonable lengths of time when a relationship is either going to get more serious or it’s time to drop what isn’t working for you. These are hard things to understand and do.

I'll pretend to be your plus one if you want. When they ask "why isn't he here?" tell them I'm on Death Row for murdering people who didn't know when to shut up, and then walk away.

I'm a 36 years old man. Haven't had a date for over a decade. My blood line ends with me.
