This is where I post an incoherent and immature ramble

A few months back, I signed up for a dating website, two of them in fact, and although I struck out with most of the women I did find some amount of success with one girl. We've gone out twice and talk almost everyday online.

A few weeks back I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend. I think this was a mistake on my part because although we had talked extensively online we had only met once at this point. But, she said "yes" and for the last few weeks we have kinda been bf/gf. We haven't had sex yet, but we have kissed and made out. So I guess we're kind of like a middle school relationship.

Anyway, I'm starting to have doubts about her. I always have doubts about women I date. I just can't bring myself to trust them, but with her I really tried to break that and believe her. That's why I asked her to be my girlfriend. One day while we were talking, she started to really sweet talk me. She was telling me about how important I was to her and how happy I made her. Those words really touched me, because I'm just not used to this idea of someone who isn't my mother caring about me like that, so I threw caution to the wind and asked her to be my girlfriend.

Since then, we've gone out and talked a lot and she's continued to act very sweet towards me. I of course like this. I'm very lonely and I want to have an emotional and physical connection to someone. I've never been able to do that. I've had physical connections with women and emotional connections, but never both at the same time. That bothers me greatly.

I'm 26, but I've never had a real romantic relationship. A lot of that is my fault. I've had a few women in my life who were interested in me and my failings as a human being led to the collapse of those relationships. I don't like that. I want to be with someone. I want to be in a relationship and be happy. All my friends say that being in a relationship won't make me happy, and that's probably true but it can't be any worse than the loneliness that is being single.

That's why I asked this woman to be my girlfriend. She just seemed interested. Most women aren't interested in me. Now, I know that most likely she's not really into me, or at least not nearly as much as she claims to be, and that starting a relationship so quickly is a recipe for disaster, but I can't say that I really care. I'm lonely and talking to her, even just online, does so much to alleviate my loneliness and sadness. I really feel almost happy when I'm with her.

Anyway, I'm starting to have doubts about her. I logged onto the dating site where we met to cancel the auto renewal on my VIP membership and I saw that she had logged in just the day before. Now, it's possible that she's using the site just to make friends, but I find that a little bit doubtful and the really damning thing about this is that she had told me previously that she had stopped using that site. So that's at least one thing that she's lied to me about.

I guess I can't blame her for trying to find other guys. We've only known each other for about two months and haven't even had sex yet. But, I just don't see why she would agree to be my gf and then continue to search for other men. Why would she come onto my so strongly and then just look for someone else behind my back. That doesn't make sense to me. I know I'm not a great catch or anything, so I don't expect for women to value me or have any interest in the idea of being with me, but I don't expect for them to lie about being interested in me. I don't expect for them to exaggerate their desire to be with me. That just comes off as cruel to me.

Anyway, regardless of what happens, at least I've had a good three weeks of being kinda-sorta happy. Maybe for someone like me that's the best I can hope for.

Maybe she logged onto the site to cancel her service like you did? Or maybe she had met other people there and was still corresponding with them?

You'll never know if you don't give it a chance. If it just shows up on your page that she logged in you could ask her about it. Just tell her you went on to cancel and saw she had been on and you were wondering why.

Wally, you should really try to stop talking down about yourself. The more you talk yourself down, the worse you are going to feel in the end. I've read what you've said about social standing and looks and other things many times. Those things are obviously important to you or you wouldn't go on about them. Trying to accept yourself for who you are and being HAPPY with yourself is the best thing you could do for yourself (just my little opinion.) The better you feel about yourself the more it shows on the outside. People that are happy look happy and people that are sad and grumpy look sad and grumpy. Looking happy can make you more attractive to the opposite sex.

That is such good advise! Please heed it! It also sounds like you may be going through a pretty serious bout of depression. Talking to someone could really help you! Take care of yourself! Hug from me too!
 
Captain Paranoia, I salute you sir!

There are 2 ways of looking at things. Paranoid navel gazing - which always becomes a turn off, & ignorance is bloody bliss!

The paranoid thing can become a self fulfilling prophecy. It doesn't do you any good, or anyone around you.

Women, in particular, are drawn to a confident person. Of course you have to show that you care, but if you stop looking for clues of deceit, & start concentrating on living, you'll be a brighter happy chappy!

I've said this to you before - concentrate on the things that you can control - what you do for leisure, your interests - & develop them.

In this way, you have your life sorted out, & plenty of other stuff to think about, should any relationship go tits up.

Your life should not revolve around getting & keeping a girl. Your interests & anything that puts what you like first should be the core priorities spiraling around you.

A woman only starts at the outside, & it should take a long time before she corkscews in & supercedes your other stuff.

Try something different every opportunity you get, till you find something you really like, or excel at, or find some people with whom you feel you truly fit in.

PS - Alexandra Bastedo famously was phoned up by Warren Beatty one night, & she turned him down. 5 hours later, she got another call - HIM again. He'd gone through his little black book, & was starting over again!

Moral - Even WB knew that to be succesful with women, you had to shamelessly plug away, & even 100 knockbacks an hour won't stop a cheerfully resourceful inividual - & yes even WB got knocked back!

Doing the same shit that got us nowhere will only lead to depression & doom. But you have the choice!
