Hey Jim, I can understand where you are coming from. I'm also a closet hopeless romantic with an externally protective shell (Protect IV ftw!) Both of my younger siblings are married, as well as a large majority of my friends. Basically what you posted on here was what alot of people think, but never admit to thinking to anyone else. However, in my vast experience, (I just turned 30 lol) I would have to agree with Mil on several points. You gotta have faith in yourself, even if its an act to a certain extent, exude some self-confidence. Also, you have to come to terms with yourself. As long as you can be honest to yourself, even about your strengths, that will certainly be a step in the right direction.
Basically, I feel like when the time is right, I will meet the person that I will spend the rest of my life with. Until that time, I'm going to just go with the flow, and try not to WORRY about it too much, lol. I'm also working on me, so I'm ready when the time comes.
Heya Orig, thanks for take the time to read and reply man. It's always nice when someone can relate to how you're feeling (especially when it's something as sensitive as this where, as you said, most people wouldn't feel comofrtable admitting or talking about so freely). At least I know I'm not the only person left out there that still thinks there may be hope, and full respect to you for keeping your hopes and moral ideals and not selling out on it (because it's much more weaker to do that imo).
As for me now, I'm really just in utter shock, I spoke to her for like 4 or 5 hours on the phone tonight and it whizzed right by. All I could think about was how awesome she was in so many different aspects. She's supposed to head over here tomorrow and I just keep thinking that i'm going to wake up and this will have all been a dream. All I can do now is try my hardest to just enjoy it and not sabotage it with my over-active imagination. Even if everything falls to shit tomorrow this has still been one of the most amazing and exciting weekends in a long long long time
