I get that a lot on dates and I say to myself that it’s because I keep meeting idiots like you :tongue: laugh


I would probably end up saying something like that, too, if there was anybody around here to date....!


Unfortunately, living in a big city, I'm not short on people to date..I am however short on people that I want to date more than once!


You're lucky, in a way. The only people who want to date me are 897,000 miles away!


Not really. because the only ‘interesting’ people I end up dating are those that are slightly ‘off’ – not scary, dangerous or a few bricks short of a wall...just non conformist. They tend to be less boringly predictable, more spontaneous and equally not suited to a long term relationship

Just wondering if anybody gets this constantly.

I'm so tired of hearing it. Yes, I'm single. Do you want me to apologize for that? Have you seen what's out there?

I'm not single because I want to be single, I'm single because it's better than any of the alternatives I've collided with so far. "Lesser of two evils," so to speak. although I really don't think either option is "evil," per se, one of them is just horribly misguided and delusional.

And it probably doesn't help that I'm almost never attracted to anybody, anyway.

The main thing is, I really don't care if you can believe I'm still single or not. It doesn't change anything, and it doesn't help either one of us for you to harp on it....

I can't believe you still haven't come up with any new material....


I don't know if you have read my favorite book, Lex.

"Quirky Alone: A Manifesto for the Uncompromising Romantics"

In short it says, if you can't find THE ONE than better to be alone than in a dull relationship. You are very special, Lex. I can understand why you are alone. It would take quite the person for you to find your counterpart.

Yea this bugs me too but generally I just think to myself "And your still married; what a Saint."lol

I often wonder why the biggest pains in the arses seem to end up with the nicest spouses.

Now that some are finally gotten their kids raised I am seeing a few "Empty Nest Bailouts."

Stay single.

If you are married, you will get writers block.

Marriage is too distracting.




I don't believe in writer's block.

I DO believe in marriage block.



when people say that to me I tell then that I was married for 17 years and am not yet ready to wash socks

"...do you want to be my internet girlfriend?" is all I'm saying. Its not like we're engaged or anything.

Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

What about the chloroform, if you arent going to date me, at least go dutch on that - its expensive.

You arent saying no outright are you? Like, definitely no. Theres still a glimmer of hope for us, yeah?

I got an e-mail from someone who asked: "can I ask you something? im from Ireland I have read one of your books, why are you on this when yr a successfull writer?"

It's like people think all of this stuff resolves itself automatically just because you've had a few books published. But it doesn't work like that. Well, maybe if you're Stephen King or Danielle Steel or Robert Ludlum. But it doesn't work like that for everybody....

Yep, I get the same thing about "I can't believe you are still single". I just figured nobody wanted to be with me; however I am not losing sleep over it. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. :banana:

It is kind of frusterateing when you have such success in one area of life and others seem so difficult. Different things take different skills.

Totally agree with what you say; especially the comment about,"Have you seen what's out there?" :thumbsup:

In response to something Eileen mentioned on FB, I'd just like to say that, yes, women do throw themselves at me. But they throw like girls, so their aim is always drastically off.
