Try new hobbies? What you listed sounded good until you mentioned that videogames were the most fun you had - sounds like you need to get involved in other things.

Otherwise you could end up with someone, realize nothing's changed once the first month wears off, and then - well, you might perhaps have to be SOL on finding anything that'll make you happy for a few years until something clicks. Same could happen single.

Well, there's more than one definition of the term 'nice guy'.

I am a self-proclaimed jerk guy....

I do have to clarify something: I didn't feel "happy" in my last relationship, in the sense of feeling all giddy and bubbly the way Erisad is now (actually that's how I felt when I was on prozac, and I hated that feeling because it was unnatural), but rather the best way to describe how I felt in a relationship was "content". Out of the 6 billion+ hostile folks out there, there was one that I could talk to and be completely myself. I didn't have to be someone that wasn't myself around her (and to a lesser extent, I still don't, even a year after breakup), nor did I have to hide behind a pseudonym (as I do here). Someone that I could trust so deeply, especially in a time when I can't even trust my own family anymore, meant the world to me.

sorry, I should have said "nice guys" in quotation marks. Normal guys who are just nice and guenuine people don't fall into that category.

i had to stop making it because i would eat most of it myself (not exactly low-calorie). i also make marzipan and loukoum (i know, i know... not lebanese! but they are old-fashioned sweets). what is your favourite dessert?
