Today I was supposed to meet a girl I've been talking to via the interweb for a few weeks now. Neither of us drive so I had planned to take the bus. Its about an hour fifteen for the ride. We seem to get along very well while chatting on MSN or texting. I had been worried that she might cancel on me, there were just a couple small signs but I tried to pass it off as me being overly worried about it not working out. She didnt awnser one text where I mentioned seeing her today, just little stuff that honestly I cant even remember any more of right now. Anyway last night I messaged her on msn and asked if we were still on for today. She said that her room mate had just informed her that they had to go to court today, something to do with the landlord and rent. Now our evening togeather was planned to start around 6pm. Wouldnt court be over by then? I realise that after a day at court she just may not feel like meeting a guy... so perhaps I'm again just being overly worried. She did say I can have a rain cheque so I hope she suggests another day to meet.

Anyway, my question is... why am I doomed to be alone forever? Another few years and my little swimmers will dry up and I will not be able to procreate.

p.s. shes very attractive and likes Trek... two qualities I did not think could co-exist in a woman.

James Doohan had a son at 80. I suppose you are quite younger than that. I'm also pretty sure you are not doomed to be alone forever: i) because I don't believe in doom (except when it's DOCTOR DOOM), and ii) because some day you will die. Just saying.

Not to be a show off, but my girlfriend of eleven years here disagree very much with you. And so do I, if I want to have sex again during the rest of my whole life.

Show some confidence. I'm 29 and I just got my first girlfriend. It has been an amazing three weeks!

Actually, he had a daughter. :)

Anyway, I've been trying internet dating for the past couple of months, and so far zip. I haven't even gotten anywhere near convincing any women to actually meet with me yet.

So take heart. You seem to be doing better than I am, at any rate (not that that's a terribly hard thing to do, I admit :lol:).

Good work. I think being in the girlfriend by age 30 group around here puts us somewhere in the 90th percentile :)

<3 us Trekkies.
 
If she canceled on you the first time I think you should wait for her to suggest another date.
 
It doesn't look good my friend. She will probably not be in the future for you I am sad to say. If she really wanted to meet you don't you think she'd be able to readjust her schedule to make time? I mean think about it, if you really wanted something wouldn't you do everything in your power to make it happen?

Could be any of a hundred reason, none of which you need to concern yourself....You met a girl, stepped up to the plate and swung with all your might, the pitch was just high and outside, but no strike out. Just gather your muster and keep at it, soldier!

As for her, just ignore her and either she will exit your mind forever or you will turn her on by ignoring her. But whatever you do, don't feel bad about it.

That is the good thing about planet Earth, half the people are chicks! There are plenty of other gals for you. Now go out and make me proud my son.
 
When I woke up today bright and early today at 11:30am she messaged me and rescheduled for next week. Weeeeee! She also said I should pick a second day now so she can keep her schedule clear. :)
 
Internet dating is tough. Who knew that "please send a picture of your breasts before we converse" was a turn off? Some people.

Awesome news! I hope I am proved wrong my friend.
 
You think it's useful to date women only as long as you have "swimmers"? I would ask which era you're stuck in, but even that would not be accurate.
 
^ There are plenty of single girls around this place... not a whole lot of snatching up going on there.
 
Well internet forums aren't exactly the best place for hookups. :p

I met mine at the supermarket, past midnight... in the frozen food section.

She was buying all the cheeseburger Hotpockets. I chatted her up with the sole intention of talking her out of buying ALL of them because I wanted a few myself.

...no regrets. ;)
