    To the other dudes still like me searching for a meaningful relationship, if you haven’t discovered yet there’s a huge part that makes it easier. Become friends first, then date. If you force right into intimacy there’s no relationship developed. It’s not like HighSchool anymore unfortunately, persistence is key but know when to move on.

    I got a girlfriend in 2023

    The experience was mid.

    She’s cool and we still hang out sometimes but being in a relationship kinda sucked and I’m glad we reloaded the friend save state.

    I’m just not cut out for being someone’s only partner.

    No thank you. I don’t have the time, the money, or the energy to go looking for a girlfriend… Or spend it on a whole other human and their unique set of needs.

      What if I were to tell you you’re supposed to get some of that back in a relationship as it moves towards becoming a partnership?

      Or that hanging out with them, aka a date, is supposed to be fun?

        If you feel like it’s fun or that you need a partnership, then go ahead. My time is already divided as it is, and I just don’t want it even more divided.

        I hardly have any time left to do the things I want to do, to study art and practice 3D. Any time I spend on other things most certainly will not be taken away from my job hours, but will be from my free time.

        So I don’t want to waste time and money trying to find someone in the first place (most people are incredibly unitereresting), and then waste even more time trying to make it work.

            You’re right. I’m sorry. I was just joking, but it’s not okay to do that by picking on someone who lives a harmless life.

            I guess I felt a bit offended, since he sounded rather aggressive and condescending. But, not my business. Doesn’t affect me nor anyone else besides himself alone.

            Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve deleted my comment.

            If you’re happy with your life, that’s perfect!

            As people are usually social creatures, it’s only natural if someone is in truth not happy about this. There are exceptions of course.

            However, my comment was totally misplaced and condescending. My bad. Didn’t think much about it. I’m truly sorry about this.

            I’ve deleted the comment.

    I appreciate the confidence, but girlfriends require time. While it would be cool and could be helpful to have that extra support around, all I can do is provide money and dick.

            Just once. No reason to be sorry though. The only big loss was the money that went to the wedding.

              The only big loss was the money that went to the wedding.

              I learned recently the cost to getting married in my state and county is $60 ($20 for the license and $40 for the officiant to marry you and process the license to probate). That is less money than it cost for 2 tickets to see an evening movie and get concession stand food. I had no idea getting married could cost so little.
