| I deleted my OK Cupid account. I didn't get a single response from all the messages I wrote, and I'm convinced I'm hopeless, and besides, I'm too unnattractive. There is no one for me |

| So I'm trying online dating again, and built an all new OKC profile. I've really tried to put a lot of thought into it, to try to make myself as viable a potential match as possible. I emphasize the variety of my interests and my passions, and I even took new photos of myself. But so far no luck or ... |

| I want someone to love. Someone to be a companion with , a partner. Someone who will love me. I want this more than just about anything. But I know, deep down, that there is no one like that out there for me. It will never happen. How do I get out of this inescapable situation, sublimating my greate... |

So many attempts at dating in the past, that just ended with me being dicked around or taken advantage of by emotionally withholding, aloof women who never call, never email, let me do all the work...I feel like I've reach the point now where I really don't ... |

It's a missing persons case....involving a student who disappeared on a class trip ten years ago. Which makes it all the worse if I fail. I will let down his family who need something to help keep this case alive. Honestly, they deserve a better filmmaker than the one they got. |

| I just completed the rough cut of a new documentary. It's taken me four years of research and planning and saving my money to make it happen, and now I've been reaching out to friends to view it for critical feedback. But I'm discovering just what my "friends" are really like, none seem to... |

| A few days ago, there was a big reunion of athletes who were coached by my Dad, in honor of his being inducted in his school's Hall of Fame. I was met with so many people across a wide range of years, and I was struck by how all of them have built lives for themselves. They've married and got famili... |

| Every now and then I contemplate hosting a get-together, having friends or coworkers over to my place, but I just can't do it. For so long now, I've been afraid to invite people over because so often in the past when I invited people to come over or meet up, they declined. In my college arts program... |

| So in one of my periods of deep introspection, I came to a realization about one of the things that makes me so eager, almost desperate, to find love sooner rather than later. It has to do with attraction and aging. I'm 32 and right now my attraction toward the opposite sex falls right in line with ... |

| A thousand times I've contemplated inviting friends over to my place for dinner, but I can't muster up the courage to do so. I'm too afraid they'll judge me for my decor, or the food I serve (or don't serve). I'm afraid if I do invite them over, they'll come, and never want to come back again, that ... |

| I took a big risk and tried asking out a woman in real life, as opposed to online dating. It went exactly as I expected: she rejected me. She had a boyfriend, which I should've known, because the good ones are always taken. It's axiomatic. I tried, and I felt such shame and embarassment afterwards. ... |

| I got lucky. Once. Someone on a dating site introduced me to her aspie roommate and we dated for a month. Then I broke up with her because she couldn't so much as hold a conversation with me. Am I a jerk? Probably. Do I even deserve a girlfriend after that? Probably not. So maybe this is just karma... |

I feel myself being pulled apart as I try to help and please all around me and yet, none seem pleased, and my boss chastises my efforts when I'm working so very hard. And never am I good enough for a woman to say &... |

| I just couldn't do it. I didn't even go to the shop. I decided it wasn't right for me to do that to her, and I just couldn't stand the embarassment if she rejected me. I think if I had asked her, I probably would've made things awkward and maybe ruined her day, and I just hate the idea that I could ... |
