but I'm finally and happily single because Irish men are crap - incapable to love, to listen, to commit without being clingy.
Or they expect after a few months to get married and being looked after. And they are useless in practical ways. Mammie's boys basically.

No wonder there are so many lonely single men in Ireland. Maturity seems to be a foreign concept in Ireland.

Slight misspelling, but I mean ever word, I swear.

I'll love you forever..

We can make, you and me.

Just give me a chance.

Thats a big statement Wibbs. I was the woman who settled down before 30 and it did'nt work out. Now in my more recent experiences of dating, the men i have come accross are generally between ages of 32 to 45. These men have what i have come to call " The Fear " and that is the fear of not meeting someone and being alone for the rest of their lives. So i think your sole concerns for the single woman at 35 may be a little unfounded, there seem to be plenty of men who feel the same way !

Maybe its just the people I know? There would be only one of the men like that, but much more of the women.

Like others have said, maybe its the guys you go for? Way back I went through a phase of going out with women who were utter muppets. Neurotic, clingy children basically. Looking back I was picking them.

you forgot to mention your accent too!!! so thats 4 strikes, oh yeah, your out!!! dont be so silly, think of all the great qualities any one person can have, yes it's got to be in the hundreds. So basically you can only find 3 bad points which come to mind, look at it that way. that's pretty damn good. I consider myself quite attractive, with a good body and decent personality but maaaaaan do I come with baggage. Cant think why my girlfriend is still with me, but thats life aint it.

Unlike blanket statements.


I find you often get back what you give out.

Nuggles

Because my standards are too high.

So I lowered them.

Now I'm here.

Elessar

Because I left it too late to make a move, despite dating her several times. Looks like she's going to get with someone else now.

Never again. If only I could turn back time.

partly because its hard to meet people. dont get me wrong, theres plenty out there but not always compatible.
And, im taking this year or 2 for myself. "finding myself" :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Neeve86

Broke up with my boyfriend of five years recently (it was mutual), and we both went to do a bit of separate travelling. Now I'm home and walking around town is like being back in first year of college - boys boys boys, all the boys. I'm happy to keep it to window shopping for the moment though, as I have a terrible habit of attracting very relationship oriented guys by mistake. I blame my face for being too innocent. I wish there was a 'only available for casual flirting and one off make outs' mask I could rent...drat.

Just cos I'm a b-atch and hard to please...

You're in leaving cert - why are you going on as if you're twice your age?

I'm single because I have way too many complexes and find it hard to socialise or meet new people, also I don't drink, don't do drugs although I do smoke ciggies heavily, have no self-confidence and in general, I have a bit of a social phobia, thus drastically decreasing my chances to find the right person.

Online dating has helped finding the "odd" birds, but I'm personally not into casual stuff and like someone said early on "I guess I'm just waiting to find someone who makes the juice worth the squeeze."

Totally agree with this. Went to school in Scotland for a bit when I was young, and the school was mixed - it was brilliant.
Alas, all good things come to an end and before I knew it, I was back to Naomh Mhuire and "bainne" - left by the radiator to ensure maximum staleness by the time 10:45 rolled around.
Used to spend all morning hatching a plan to avoid drinking it.

Raedwald

Serious commitment-phobia and very independent, had a couple of relationships that lasted 5 months or so and hated every minute of the fact that I couldn't spend my free time the way I wanted to ( hanging out with mates, going pub, playing gaelic etc) and had to give that up to spend time with the missus really wrecked me buzz.

ya I'm in the same thinking as yourself! I didn't get much of an opportunity to meet boys until I was at my debs, didn't venture out until the unknown to meet lads until I started college. I have been out with a few lads, had only one serious boyfriend. I have a couple of male friends but most of my friends are female. I'v not met many lads that I would go out with though since my last relationship. I would rather just chat to men and get to know them rather than go right into the dating scene with them. I'm just taking my time on that front. When I meet some men I like them but I don't seem to fancy them straight away or might not like them in that way for ages or not at all. I don't become attracted to men like I used to i.e. I could kiss random guys when out but I'm not too much into that anymore. I'v had guys come up to me, compliment me, tease and flirt and be nice to me and stuff but seems like guys are more attracted to me than I am to them sometimes. I honestly don't know why maybe I'm just fussy but I'm not willing to lower my standards just to make someone else happy. feel its me who has to be happy first before I can commit to anything, I don't like to string men along cause I know it often blows in my face even for the most innocent of things! I tend to seek approval of family and friends though when it comes to men. They can be quiet judgmental. I'v often been in the situation of unrequited love on both sides and it wrecks my head! The bottom line is i just haven't met the right person to settle down with!:o

Single sex school was quite a thorn in the side all right, specially when you live in the countryside and only see people much in school.

Ahh single sex schools, the massive sausage-fest that they were did nothing towards helping me get with a girl, let alone a gf:pac:
