how do I know? all of my life I was never on anybody's frequency, so as a result I was always on the margins at best.

Several things here. First off, 27 isn't that old to not be in a relationship. It used to be, but it's not anymore. A lot of my kids friends are that age and older and single. Some are that age and have only recently gotten together with someone. It's pretty common now to be 27 and not be in a relationship, so don't write it off because of your age.

What are the specific things about you that you think are causing you to not be able to get a girlfriend? Think of specif things that you can work on. Don't say "I'm not changing anything about myself" because everybody has to change something for a relationship because it's always compromise in one. Always somebody is compromising for the other at one point or other. Maybe you can work on those things and get a girlfriend.

As for suicide, it's not a good idea. I've tried it myself and really wanted to die when I did because I saw no hope in living, so I'm not just talking out of my ass here. Things got better when I didn't die. Not immediately of course. They got worse for a while directly afterwards, but they did get better. And don't say nothing will get better for you because it hasn't yet because you don't know what the future holds for real. If you did then you would already be rich living in vegas and breaking the bookies bank every week. You know what you anticipate might happen based on past experience, but past experience and future experience are not always the same, there are lots of variables, like different people being there. There is a first time for a lot of stuff.

A good friend of mine killed herself last year. Just shot herself in the head while her family was at church. She did it for a reason and to make a point which it did and she got what she wanted to get across, that her family were being s**ts to her, and yeah they felt bad but all that did was kill her. They can't make it up to her now. She can't get any benefit out of her actions. She did not think ahead. Killing yourself is like gouging your eyes out because you don't like the first 20 minutes of the movie. Yeah, it makes you not have to see it anymore, but you could also have got up and walked out and got a ticket to another movie, or went home and read a book or got online or done anything else in the world besides gouge your eyes out. It does just seem like the thing to do at the time sometimes, I'll admit that, but it's not. It basically means you lose the game. You have no chance of ever doing anything if you kill yourself. Also, we don't know for a fact what happens after death. It could be great, it could be nothing or it could be horrible as hell. Why chance that? Try everything else first, before that. You can't undo it. Also, you might change your mind in a few days and be glad you didn't. Thats why I don't think I'll ever try it again, I was glad later I didn't do a good job of it. Dying is actually scarier than you think and even if you want to die, when it seems like it's starting to happen to you, it's not all going gentle into that goodnight. So, you might screw up and really do it even if you change your mind at the last minute. Best not to play with that. And I do know where you are coming from. Just because I have a husband and kids doesn't mean I have this great life all the time. It's not.

So, anyway, I wish you well. If there is anything I can do, let me know.



but are they 27 and never ever had a relationship. its not being 27 and single its 27 and always been and likely always will be single. I never had a middle or high school relationship. I only ever had like 7 dates my whole life. never had a 2nd date. and really only 3 of those were actual dates.

I'm so tired of trying and trying. I keep failing. no one will hire me. I'm making myself thinner by eating less and being hungry a lot so i can hopefully please some woman who likely won't even give a s**t. I have to hide most everything about me. because society deems it wrong. and women won't like it.
but as for things preventing me
I don't have a job besides a seasonal one. I can't get work I've been trying the gov has been trying. even if I get work it won't be the work women require which is making $25 or more an hour and continuing to get promotions to make more. all this does is stress me and make me depressed, and I don't even know why I bother looking for work since it won't matter as it'll never be good enough. they live in this make believe world where women don't work and every guy can get a great paying jobs like we're still in the 1940s or something. got into a fight with a female friend over this. lets say in a perfect world back in the day. 100 jobs, 100 men/100 women. all men work. fast foward to women rights(good thing) 100 jobs. 50 women or so working. still 100 women/100 men. so if 50 women work. can all 100 men still work? nope. because there's only 50 jobs left. now most jobs don't pay $25 in up. most don't even pay 15 most pay min wage nowadays. and we're lucky to even have that with automation and overseas workforce taking jobs. so how is it that women expect all men to have great paying jobs? because honestly I don't see how its possible. we have high unemployment in the nation. if there were enough $25 an hour jobs for all people then we wouldnt needs welfare, and all the other programs. veterans who fought for us wouldn't' be living homeless on the streets. yet she keeps to her stance that men need to have a great paying job and women are right to demand this all while saying if her current bf was unemployed she'd date him still(mind you they've never met. and she said she wouldn't date me because I don't make enough.) which is fine I don't want to date her. but I think its bulshit that she'd still date the other guy if he lost his job. shes very passionate about men making a certain amount so she can vacation in europe or hawaii.

about body. so its ok for women to be fat. theres a whole public campaign about it. but men can't be any fatter than a twig or they undateable. oh and women can be obese and jobless and its ok, but men can't. never say it to her but she's fat and just quit her job. so why is it it's ok for her to demand much more from guys then she and other women are doing themselves. so tired of seeing fat unemployed women demanding that guys be athletic, skinny and make good money. and society says thats ok and right but it's not ok for men to expect the same. heck men don't care in most cases about what job a woman has or how much she makes. most they do is about looks and they get hated on for that.

really I'm just so tired and hungry. I'm super stressed out from trying to find work. I did everything right I got all the certifications. but I don't' have experience. and can't get any until someone hires me but on one will because I lack the experience. problem is due to the high unemployment and low jobs, there's tons of experience people out there looking for work. all competing for a lousy $10 an hour job.

I'm changed too much already. and If i ever did get a relationship I have to throw out all the hobbies and things I love and pretend to be something I'm not for who knows how long. why? why is everything about me so f*****g wrong. because I'm not some clone that marches to societies drums. likes foot ball and drinks beer.

maybe she just wanted to be free from it all. like robin williams. they'll both finally free. I want to be free and death appears to be the only way to freedom. really just isn't enough life to go around in this world. too overpopulated. the us population should really be halved. to 150 million. then they'd be enough jobs and money to go around. so theres no room for people like me. those who are born different think different, go their own ways, those who can't find work despite trying their best despite doing everything people and the gov told them to do.


First off, Robin Williams nor my friend are free. They are dead. Big difference. They aren't doing anything except rotting right now. We can only assume about the afterlife. Maybe it's there, maybe it's not. I wouldn't chance it.

Secondly, my husband makes less than 25 an hour and always has. I've been married to him for 28 years. I don't know where you get your ideas about what women want but you are wrong. Maybe they don't want you, but they don't all want this one idea of a guy you have in your head. The reason they probably don't want you right now is bitterness. I don't know about before when you were younger, but right now I'd say bitterness is a huge factor. You can get therapy for that. You can also get therapy and find out and work on the things that turn other people off about you. I had to do a lot of work on myself, but luckily I found somebody to help me with that when I was younger. Otherwise I would still be alone. Trust me on that one.

It's not easy, but it's doable. The first thing you have to do is accept the idea that maybe you are wrong about what women want. Sure you assume it from what you see around you and on tv but you don't know. You really don't. I know pretty girls who are with guys who don't even have jobs. So it's not money, you can get off that high horse now. Also weight isn't really that much of a thing. Another thing is that as a guy you can work out and still eat less but not starve and start looking good. You don't have to just starve. Why not work out?

I'd work on the attitude and the bitterness and start doing some actual work to find out what exactly it is about you that you can work on that would help you get somebody. You are going to need therapy to help with that bitterness because that is probably the number one reason you are alone. I know plenty of guys with money or guys who are great looking who have that bitter attitude about things and they are alone. You may not think they are, but they are.

Also, I don't know of one woman out there who would want to be with a guy who thinks that all of us are the way you think we are. That is a deal breaker for pretty much everybody. That is what you need to start with and for that you need therapy and a willingness to accept that you could be wrong. You don't have to see or believe that you are wrong right yet, you just have to accept that you could be and be open to being shown how and why you are, and that you have been doing some things wrong and have a willingness to change them. You will need therapy to do this though. So that would be number one on my list if I were you.

Also, why just starve? Do you not lift or anything? That would help you get buff pretty quickly.

no they specifically say what they want on their ads and profiles. they list needing to have a decent job.
I'm not making this up nor am I lying to cover up for being rejected. I don't even talk to them because I don't meet their requirements to be allowed to talk to them. I haven't' messaged a girl in over a year now. ran out of one swho dont' list the great list of requirements. oh and guess what all the women at work say the same stuff. then go on facebook and yep they all say it too. men are gauged based on their income and work. you say you got married 28 years ago. well that puts you 28 years out of the loop as to what women want. also if your'e a aspie lady then you were never in the loop in the first place. problem is theres so very few of you and only aspie lady I met stopped talking to me after finding out I worked at the college. and when I say stopped I mean littler disconnected no by no explanation just gone.

actually women on tv are way more nice and accepting of guys. have you watched tv or movies. the guy like me always ends up happy with some girl who loves him for who he is. but thats not what it's like in rl. theres no happy ending for sad low income guys. I don' thave some author writing my story.

had a so called friend say the same stuff. women want a guy who can provide for them, spoil them, take them on vacations, buy them gifs, take them to dinner every night at some place.
women at work said similar things and even that theres no "decent" guys in our town.


one was talking about how a guy said he loved her but how could he he didn't get a good paying job or spoil her so he must not love her. nope cause love is solely income based don't you know.

why should I change whey is it men have to change, why the f**k can't women change you aren't gods. we don't have to bow to you or become someone new. f**k taht I don't want to be someone else tahts too stress ful and whats the point if I have to change and pretend to be someone I'm not for the rest of my life in fear that If I be myself she'll leave yep that sounds wonderful :roll:

bitterness has nothing to do with it. fyi I don't talk to people especially women about this. stuff. as far as people are concerned I'm happy, funny guy. ever date I went on they enjoyed. but that was long ago. only fery few often do people see I'm sad. oh when I get too happy and apparently me being happy annoys people and they say so aso I get sad.

yeah I've never said money and job is the sole and only reason its the gate though. if you don't have it you're never get to talk to them ie they'll never see the other things about you. 1. have a good paying job. then 2. do they have things in common.

if you dont' have 1. they don't care if you have 2. so until I get 1. which I can't I can't even start with trying to find out if I'm compatiable. sure I could lie, but not for long and they'll just dump me when they find out like the ladies at work's ex.

you're not all that way but the ones like you who aren't are all taken already. they got taken early on married, have family now. now its just the ones who are like this looking for that guy who doesnt' exist complaing about how all the guys in our town are crap because they dont' get paid enough.

you seem to think all women are angels and think like you. thats the problem all men are guilty all women are unable to be wrong and mean. yet I hear from aspie women similar expeiriences about women they've met and dealt with. so you have a whole bunch of men and a whole bunch of women saying the same thing but we all must be wrong?

or maybe women now adays from the me generation are mostly superficial?

go on okc or other dating sites look at proflies. go on facebook look at posts about it. google it. its really quite depressing.

gyms cost a lot. Im on ssi I can't afford to go to a gym and when I work I work slep work sleep, so no time to go spend 1-4 hours at a gyme. I have to drive that takes 1 each way, then 1hour to shave/shower, 30 min bathroom time so i dont' have to go at work, time to eat and get dressed. then drive to work(have to get ther eearly) then 8 1/2 hours work, then drive home. get stuff ready for next day eat, and pass out. I won't have the energy or time to go do a lot of wieght lifting and walking.

also why so I lose wieght like I have it doesn't matter unless I have a good paying job. I still can't talk to any women.

I can't go to clubs and try to pick women up. 1. I am too shy and not good sociallly, 2. not the type of women I want. 3 I can't afford it. I make $2 an hour after taxes and ssia takes it's cut. so i make like 150 every 3 months. clubs cost like $20 a night. then the drinks are like $5-10 each. all so I could fail at trying to pick up a girl that wouldnt match with me well. I also not into the whole one night stand with strange people stuff. clubs and bars are more for sex not relationships.

I want a girl who likes being inside and going on occasional hikes/camping. not some party going gets wasted every weekend girl.

I can't afford to go out. so women won't like me. I dont' like going out anwyays. my car could break down anytime for all I know and I can't afford the gas to go do something I hat and spend more money doing it.

also most group gatherings are all just a bunch of lonely old men. yep that sounds liek a great place to meet women. the ones who show up are the ones looking for a "real man" ie good job, looks, etc.

really sick of seeing that. that's why I feel worthless. because to the majority of women I'm not even a man. so what am I?

also its funny how no single woman eve speaks like you its always married/relationship women who say women dont' want that? why do you think that is?

I'm going to clue you in on a few things Sly. Some of them you had no way of knowing and others I thought you already knew. Here goes.

1. I was in the loop when I was single, aspie or not. I wasn't dx'd till middle age and by then I had learned to pass as NT and get by. I never knew I had anything that caused me to be the way I was so I didn't see why I couldn't work on it and change it, which I did with a lot of long term help from a handfull of people I met when I was about 13 who saw something in me. That is what I encourage for people to do when they can. Even if you can't get to where you pass as NT, you get better. I dated a lot of guys when I was in my teens and until I married my husband at 22. I have a WHOLE LOT of dating experience. Probably more than I should have. I got around. Thats find though. However, this leads us to number.....

2. Just because I'm married doesn't mean all my friends are or that I don't know any single girls. Most of my friends are single either from divorce, never having married yet and one is a widow (the widow has been one for about 10 years now and that is the cougar I talk about, my best friend). I'm still aware of whats going on in the world and I go out with my friends alone, just us because my husband doesn't like going out places like that. I hear what the single gals say to me about what they way. I know tons of single guys and hear the problems they have too. Your's isn't that uncommon for the guys, except for the fact that you don't see why you should try and they do. Lots of them don't have jobs yet. Some aren't even in college still, and they don't have a job. Many get jobs, many get girlfriends, and many times not in that order. This brings us to number....

3. Dating sites are where you advertise for what you have in your mind that you want. They advertised for this type of guy so on there they don't want to talk to any guy who doesn't fit that. However, in the real world when they meet a guy who is smart and funny and they are attracted to, many times guess what? He has no job or he has a s**t job. Guess what happens, usually they date him anyway. My best friend is with a guy who WON'T keep a job. Oh, he can, but he won't. She supports him. She's about ready to dump him though, thank god. He's the skinhead who used to hit her. And she's pretty, and smart and has a job and nice and sweet. With him. She's not like some of the other girls out there, which there are a bunch of, I don't at all think we are all angels, not by a long shot. So here comes number......

4. There are shallow women and gold diggers out there. There are some who only want you if you fit this or that profile and some who only want to use you. I have a friend who has never been married, has two kids, and cuts hair at peoples houses occasionally for money. She just came by last night in a brand new 40k convertable. She didn't buy that cutting hair. The guy she's screwing bought it. Put it in her name too. She's one of THOSE. Gold digging b*****s. She's gotten by that way since I've known her. Her son is my younger son's best friend, so we have been friends a long time, about 8 or 10 years. She lives with a guy, he supports her and he has to support her in the style she's accustomed to. She puts up with anything, and when he can't anymore for whatever reason or she just can't put up with a lot of the s**t she has to put up with a guy who would live with her anyway, she dumps him and gets another one. There are also girls who think they are better than any guys who don't meet certain qualifications. Also girls who want to only date a guy who fits in with them and their social status etc, and all that is fine. There are guys out there who are the same way. If I was suddenly single do you think I'd stand a chance with a guy who has a good white collar upper middle class job? One who goes to the country club and has savings and investments and has credit cards that work and who is the "nice suburban guy"? Oh hell no! They wouldn't want me for s**t! Well, they might hire me to clean the house or something. I could sound and act like I fit in for a while and that would be fine for being a friend to them, but as a girlfriend they would find out fast that I'm a blue collar, redneck chick and that is NOT what they want. It works both ways.

Again, on dating sites you advertise for what you want, which you obviously haven't yet met. In real life you meet somebody and if you are attracted to them you work around the job s**t. Unless you are one of the b***h girls who want all this money and some do. I'd say maybe 40% of women under 30 and over 23 or 24 will reject a guy on a job issue, especially if she is working at a good job. Others would reject you if you didn't have any job at all unless you had a reason or were looking, but thats not a problem for some, believe it or not. To some women a good job is a blue collar steady job with a paycheck every week. My sons make about 400 to 500 a week (more with overtime when it's available) and it's a steady job, 40 hours a week, he has work every day. To many women that is a good job. To them it is, to us it is. My husband brings home 500 a week and we are in our early 50s, he's an electrician. "Good" means many different things, depending on who says it. To one girl it's enough to pay for a summer home and an overseas vacation and to another it's enough to pay rent and the bills without worry. Lots of guys down here where I am are fine with their women not working and being housewives, so a "good job" (one that pays the bills) is important to being a grown man down here, but this is the Deep South so things are different. Of course I don't know any who get mad if their girlfriends or wives work, but a lot of them like the idea of being able to support a wife and kids by themselves. It's a Southern thing I guess. The women can work if they choose but some choose not do, while others do. It's personal choice.

Don't take what you see on those sites as a reflection of anything other than what it is. The hopes and dreams of the girls who advertise there. If there are such a great f*****g catch why are they advertising for a husband on the internet anyway? Remember that too. Not that there is anything wrong with doing that, there isn't. When you need to get back in the dating scene and don't know how it's a good way, and it's harder for most guys to get dates than it is most girls, so guys are on there more frequently as well. I think you would do better meeting somebody somewhere than you would on those sites. I think it's probably more of a last ditch effort to advertise there for most girls.

ALso, why can't you buy some used weights and work out at home? Also, Google exercises and workouts using only your body weight. I have a friend who is a bodybuilder, really nice boy too, I promise, and he loves to help people that way. PM me and we can talk and I'll put you in touch with him and he can give you a workout you can do without weights and also a diet and he can help you figure out that side of things. He really is an expert.

I'm sorry you think I'm making things harder. I'm kind of a tough old bird and that is how I am, but if I didn't want to try to help I wouldn't have said anything in the first place. For real. You can take me seriously, this is me trying to be helpful. I also am understanding. Sometimes you just have to make me understand, cause I'm hardheaded. PM me ok?

Walmart has cheap hand weights. I bought some 15 lb dumbells there for about 10 bucks each. The OP may need more than that, but there are guys in prison with no access to a weight room who work out for hours in their cell using only their body for resistance and they get pretty fit. They are also eating crappy high fat prison food too. Then again, they have nothing else to do so they can spend hours on it.

However, I do hope he contacts me because the boy I'm talking about would love to help him out with a workout. I asked him a minute ago. He really is an expert and very dedicated. He's been doing this for years and he's huge because he likes that look and thats the look for him, but he knows that not all guys want that. He also has elf ears he got done, and a shaved and tattooed head, so he understands that people like different things. However, despite being built like the aspie guys nemisis, the "alpha male" and despite being popular with women and having the physical ability to play sports, he's a great and sensitive and nice boy. Not just to me either. He's genuinely nice. He's not at all what the package says he is, and when I first met him I missjudged him. It was only after getting to know him and several long talks that he and I had when he would come visit my son, and many online and some when he would come by to say hey to me, I found out he's not at all like I assumed. He wouldn't ever hurt somebody's feelings unless he was defending someone else, and he is giving and likes to take the time to help others. I so hope Sly PM's me.

I would also suggest work on how you look, which you are, work on how you come across and practice some things to say to girls and to talk about with them, find topics of interest that are good, and then go places and meet somebody. I don't mean bars. You usually don't find good quality at bars. Bars are for a hookup, I only know one guy who met his wife in a bar. If you don't have friends you can go out with to places or to parties where you will meet somebody, find clubs or organizations that do the things you like or want your girl to like and go to the meetings. Go more than once. Also, meet people there and make friends. Get invited to things with them and go. You might like their friends.

Basically, go places you would like your girl to like. Make friends with people who seem nice to you and also who seem like people who the girl you would like would hang around with.

There are two ways to meet a significant other. 1. A chance meeting somewhere that you were both strangers and had no reason to start talking to each other, like a bar or a store, etc. 2. Parties and gatherings with friends or through friends or relatives. I met my husband with number one. I was working in a gas station, he came in for gas, beer and cigarettes. I said he was awesome. That was that. We talked, hung out, moved to DC, got married. My kids met theirs through friends or family. My oldest daughter's fiance was my older son's best friend. My younger son's girlfriend was a girl he went to school with and who hung out in the same crowd as him. My younger daughter met a boyfriend when she went to a friends house with some other friends and that boy was there with other friends.

I've met people through friends, and from hanging out in the same group with them but I've also met a lot of guys I dated from chance meetings. Chance meetings work if you are outgoing and willing to take a chance. I've been shot down a lot too, and you have to be willing to let that happen and go on with it. I can do that, some can't. I understand. It's a lot easier to meet people who are there with friends of friends. I'd suggest that. First order of business is expanding your circle of friends. Be friends with guys who have girlfriends. Their girlfriends will bring their single friends to things. And no, it's not just couples who do things together. My kids have couples friends and lots of single friends. Everybody does things together, there is no pressure like their used to be.

I wouldn't put too much stock on what you see on tv, and none in what you see on those dating sites. I'd also bet you cash money that those girls get tons of messages from guys nowhere near what they have asked for. It's a given that will happen and they know it. While they may ask for a Mercedes, they will be willing to test drive quite a few other models, and might even end up with one. As long as you aren't a 72 Nova with 6 out of 8 cylinders firing, with no brakes, a cracked windshield and has to be started with a screwdriver and a rusted out floorboard, you have a chance.

see the problem is I bought a weight which cost $6 for a 10 pound weight, but then I outgrew it. I can't afford to keep buying weights. my friend is super into weight lifting, he goes to a gym not just any gym because he has to pull weights off of other machines to keep up. he doesn't' buy weights for home because he'd have to spend a fortune. I thought about buying a bench but 1. dangerous to lift alone, 2. I have no space. I don't know how it is in the south but in the west people keep their garages full of s**t(boxes and boxes of s**t.) there's barely enough space to walk into ours.

most I can hope for is bring home 150ish a week after taxes if that. thats at $10 an hour. currenlty I only get 9.30 min wage is 9.20 here. I have taxes, then theres credit debt(they get 25% of anything over 200 a week) then if I get a full time job I'll have to pay 50-100 a month to school loans. oh and ssi they take half of every pre tax over 85 a month.

which is why I made like 544 for a 2 weeks and only get like 150 of it.

I can't afford to go anywhere and I'm dead afraid my car will break down, perhaps because despite what the shop said and despite them having it for 3 months it still broke down 3 times after they fixed it. hasn't yet again but could anytime :S so guess it would be better to give me dating advice you'd give a minor with no income.

everything cost money. thats why I took dates on walks, well they wanted it too and I like walks, get to talk vs movies where you can't. I have to budget and I budget for things that will make me happy even if just for a little while because its all that keeps me alive. been suffering through food. chicken/rice is good for weight loss, but it really is sucky after weeks of nothing but chick/rice v8 and bratwursts. I get pizza once and awhile but its so high in calories I can't eat much.

I such at remembering how to do lifts even with a teach telling and showing me I had hard time remembering and had to ask him. and if you do it wrong you can mess up your body, like guys who can't put their arms back and are always having them outward. I don't want that. over all though its a lack of moral. I don't even do wall pushups. I either don't remember ADHD,, its always at the wrong time , or I'm depressed in which case I'm lucky if I keep hydrated non less do pushups.

I'm on dating sites because I can't talk to women in person. I need to have 3 days to 2 weeks of text based conversation first. so I can feel comfortable talking to them. probably why the women I dated said I seemed confident. I was able by the time we met to open up. I don't even know what to say to this girl I met once 9 months ago. my sister is dragging her feet to talk to here. we walked 9 months ago was suppose to go on another 2 weeks after that, but nope sister forgot and all her church stuff is more important. but I don't know what to say to her and all the stuff on here and people told me in the past has me so afraid that anything I'll say in a message will just be creepy. :(

people here made it clear don't talk to women in public because they just want to be left alone. so thats out. I dealt with women at work all the time they come check out, small talk, and leave. I doubt any of them want to be bothered by a worthless man who's so far below them. not to mention ugly. I wear sunglasses and look toward the ground when I go shopping. I'd rather just be able to order my groceries and have them delivered.

I live on the edge of the poor city(which is one of the more wealty areas). most people and things are in downtown of the bigger city. so it cost money to get to the things and then it cost money to do the things.

not that there's groups or get togethers for video games, shooting, shaving, etc.
people get together to play magic of gathering, I don't like, big investment, cost to go to, and is 99% geeky guys. theres no board game socials here, no dating socials, no single groups, any convention is up in portland, so $50 gass, $30-150 to go to. and its mostly in relationship girls that go to them. I couldn't drive either so I'd have to take the train and that's another $100-200. then using the light rail up there is another $10.

I wish everything wasn't so expensive. food is cheap here compared to other states, but everything else is so expensive.not going burn through what savings I have in few days to possible and unlikley met some girl who will be to far away to date and won't like me when she finds out I'm too poor to take her places.

I need a poor girl who likes simple things, walks, hikes, camping, cuddling to movies/shows, playing video/board games. so like 60-70% indoor and rest outdoors. not into clubs/parties/nights on the town. eating out every so often is ok.

as for parties to meet. I have no friends. well I have some but they can't afford to go out either and don't know any single women, couples only hang out with couples. I was invited to their bbq, other guests were 2 other couples and ther many kids. yay a bunch of strangers and their kids while I sit in a corner alone.
family well like i said above only girl is the one my sister knows and what can I expect from my sister who forgot her own court date twice. that ws important to her I'm not so no wonder its been 9 months since any contact with the girl :(
