Engagement

[Jade Sabre]

I found out today that last night, a friend of mine got engaged. She is 22 and on her 2nd engagement. I was happy for her...for about 2 mins, then it hit me... 2nd engagement...22... I'm 25, single and half her size (literally, and she's only 2 inches taller than me)... what the hell am I doing wrong? This has become such a depressing day for me :(

hehe:D

Agreed!

25 is nothing.. You're still young... As Ray said, you just haven't found the right guy yet...

[Jade Sabre]

forget the right guy, i can't even find a guy :(

[imgreat95]

Or you to Brooklyn.

And actually, I kinda did move to Pa, for many months (over a 3 year span) ;)

[imgreat95]

ray, please stop rubbing my head.

[Jade Sabre]

ray, please stop rubbing my head.

but it's ok to kiss him apparently

[Baseball Guru]

Maybe you should try sunny Florida;)

:D

[Jade Sabre]

I like beaches... ;)

You know, I've been threatening Patty that I was going to trade her in for a couple of 25-yr-olds, maybe you and one of your friends would like to, uh, er....... :eek: ;)

Young lady, I know you probably think of me as an old windbag a-hole from Texas, and you'd be right about that if that was indeed what you thought. But my point is, and it's an old cliché you're probably not in the mood to hear, but trying to put this love/marriage sh!t on some calendar or lined up neatly in 'the normal column' just don't work. Engagement #2 by X-years just doesn't matter. I've got a friend several years younger than me who is on marriage #4, and all he or any of his friends care about is it really does look like this one is gonna' take.

Take it from me and relax. Quit trying to find this Mr. Perfect, who is already married to my wife, by the way :D (That's not true, of course since I know for certain that Mr. Perfect is my wife's father ;) ) Change your routine and start going to new places, check out Home Depot, go to the church/synagogue/mosque/voodoo ritual of your choice, then go to the sports bars and find out the guys who go to all three. Hang out with three of them you've never known before and see if that works. If not, get back to me later and we'll implement Plan B.

forget the right guy, i can't even find a guy :(
You're starting to sound like me!


But seriously, Farin, don't sweat it. If the time is not right, any relationship you fell into would be doomed. Like Miss-Barely-Out-of-Diapers engagement #1.

No matter what you do or don't do, when it's meant to be, it will happen.

[Jade Sabre]

I'm not looking for Mr. Right, and I have no ideas about being married by a certain age or anything like that. Her fiancee is actually Mr. Wrong and there's no way in hell this shit is gonna last. Last month she asked him if he hated my roommate more than he loved her, and the dumbass said yes.

It's just that I'd like a boyfriend. Been a few years since I've had one. I was good for a while, havin' fun, but now, it kinda sucks lol

[~*TiGeRs f@N*~]

and half her size (literally, and she's only 2 inches taller than me)...

Sorry Farin, I like you, I really do, but superficial crap like that bothers the hell out of me. Any guy worth catching will catch you because he loves you for you not for what you look like

[Baseball Guru]

I like beaches... ;)


Gotta love the fact that you can go to the beach in January:D

:sun: and 81 degrees today;)


:banana:

You can to that this year in Pa, too... although not quite 81 degrees, I have hit the golf course 4 times this month.

[Jade Sabre]

Beach in Jan would be cool... just not a big fan of that late dec. I like a white christmas, but as that's passed, we good :)

Live it up babe!!!!

Do all the things that you can do now. I know it is scary that your getting older and can't even find " the possible Mr Right" but he'll come along someday. Now is the time to do all the things you can do being single. Go on trips, hang with your girls, just be yourself. Then when the right guy does come along you'll have no regrets. I know a lot of my friends who got married in there 20's who feel like they missed out on so much stuff because they couldn't go away with the "girls" or have a "girls night out". enjoy it now!! you have plenty of time to find the right one!

[Jade Sabre]

I can't afford to go away lol But if I could, even if I had a bf, I'd still have my girls nights out and go away with my friends. I could neva be with a guy who'd have issues if I did such things. I've never seen the need to be with someone 24/7. Things always go betta when he has his nights with his peeps and I have mine.

[Nymet31]

you say that now, but trust me it changes. Not that it is bad it actually is really nice knowing that someone would mind if I was away from them for a certain amount of time.

[Jade Sabre]

I don't see me eva changing my mind. If a guy can't stand to be without me for an evening, he way to clingy and needs to go away. My roomie is like that. His biggest fights with his ex were cause she'd go out with me and the girls occasionally and not sit here with him every night. He wasn't even my bf and I wanted to slap him upside the head.

[Mr. Met on Pot]

I'm not expert but 22 and at her 2nd engagement isn't anything to be proud about. My sister got engaged when she was 25 and married at 26. You'll find the right guy....

[Panzram]

Sorry Farin, I like you, I really do, but superficial crap like that bothers the hell out of me. Any guy worth catching will catch you because he loves you for you not for what you look like

Thats why I go with hookers. :cool:

[PissedPrincess]

At 25, I had 25 boyfriends. :D Marriage was the furthest thing from my mind.

Live it up while you can!:)

[metmagic]

amen to that!!!!

[Baseball Guru]

amen to that!!!!

To what, Dave going with the hookers??:notme:
