Justin,
I was watching the Oprah show one day. Subject was relationships or opposite sex and the difficulties or something along those lines. Oprah was talking to a man successfully married 35 years. Seemed like a good relationship he had. He said his complaint was that his wife kept changing the rules every day. (that's that irrational stuff) Every day he got up his wife had different rules. Oprah kinda chuckled and said essentially,
"Silly man. Then your first question every day should be, 'Honey what are the rules today'? Haven't you figured that out yet?"
Seems kinda obvious but sometimes it's the most obvious things we miss.
Based on your last post it seems your first question should be, "Honey are you involved with anyone?" Yes? then cya. or,........Where's your single friends at?
But I admit I don't know your life.
I've had *it* happen to me too. I like dancing Country Western. Short version: Married women come out and wanna dance the night away with a guy. Then at the end when ya go for the phone number it's, "Oh I'm married. Didn't I tell you?" Yeah right lady, of course you made that well known. We both know she didn't make it known to insure having a good dance partner for the night.
Sometimes those *attached* women act more single than single women. So ya learn to ask up front.

4 1/2 years ago there was a gal who I thought would be Mrs. Birdhunter1, who i could talk to anytime about anything and talk forever and make time stand still and she was suddenly interested in someone else and by by to me. her mother had been married like 5 times in 20 years or something so I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
A year ago the gal who I was head over heels for didn't know how to use a phone so to speak. Long story there too, didn't work out haven't seen her since.
Most other girlfriends seem to fall apart before the 3 month mark. If not then then wait till 6 months, probably won't make it too far past.
I think my biggest problem relates to the first story above, still a little sore spot from that one I guess. One girl I dated a few years ago I had to break up with for the reason she didn't fit well with me like story #1 above did, it bothered me too much so I found a different reason to break that one off.
Now I'm just waiting for teh righ one to come along. may never happen might stumble upon her tomorow, whatever God decides is fine with me.

It's pretty hard for me to find girls to talk to, most of them are just girls in some of my classes, so I usually get 5 minutes here 10 minutes there...but i find out if they have a bf relatively quick...it's not the first question out of my mouth but I don't let it linger I guess...its just that it's not often I find a girl I want to date, and when I do, they're is always something that screws up the opportunity.

One night stands arent my kinda thing. I'm also 21 but I plan to wait till marriage. I guess I'm old fashioned in that way but I figure I've beat off my hormones(no pun intended but it is funny) this long I can wait till marriage. But I may get a change in attitude toward that but I doubt it. I've lived my life the way I think the big guy upstairs would like me to and its all worked out except for the girl part but then again I havent done much work on that myself. I'll find her one day and I hope that day is sooner rather than later.
