Back to the Dating Game
Since I’ve been busy with my random acts of kindness, I haven’t been able to give many updates about my main goal: to find a life partner. Although there haven’t been a whole lot of updates I can give, there have been some promising developments.
Just for the sake of convenience, I’ll give my current crush a name: let’s go with Samira. Samira and I seem to be making a strong connection. I can sense from her by the way that she looks at me and talks to me that she likes me. I hope this is in the sense that she thinks I’m attractive; although, she could just like me as a friend. She seems to be comfortable around me, which is probably what I enjoy the most about her. Read More…

A Vicious Cycle
I am starting to feel a bit weary of my relationship prospects as of late. I still see my original crush, but not with any regularity and I’m starting to think that she’s not as interested as I thought (shouldn’t surprise me). I don’t want to tell myself that the other crush is interested, because I’ve only been wrong when I’ve thought that in the past, but I am really starting to think she is. However, I don’t see her very frequently and I’m still too timid to invite her to do anything with me. Read More…

Just My Luck?
So remember in my previous post when I was talking about how unlucky I am when it comes to relationships? Well, there was something I forgot to mention. Not only do I seem to lack any of the luck I usually have in my normal life when I am trying to court a girl, luck also seems to taunt me with the illusion of luck. Read More…

Missed Opportunities
It seems that, whenever I resolve to “make my move” is precisely when the opportunity fails to present itself. I consider myself to be a very lucky person. Because of this, it almost seems as if I have given up any luck I might have in relationships in order to be lucky in every other area of my life. Romance is the one part of my life where I cannot be sure that everything will simply “work itself out.” This is especially frustrating when, on the day I plan to ask my crush to have dinner with me, she is running late and doesn’t have a chance to talk.

Just a Friend?
I’ve recently been thinking about the whole “just a friend” issue. Many nice guys complain that they are just friends and can get no further into a relationship. I’m starting to wonder what is so bad about being friends? Read More…

Story Time: Just a Friend
As I mentioned in the previous “Story Time” post, the chapters of Romeo And… alternate between anecdotes and explanations. Since I’m only posting the anecdotes, I’ve skipped from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3. Read More…

History Repeating…
When you’re a nice guy for as long as I’ve been, you start to notice similarities in the girls you are attracted to. Some of these similarities are easy to spot since they are qualities which you find appealing. However, some of these qualities are persistent even though they are not necessarily what you are looking for in a partner. I sometimes wonder if these qualities have any correlation to the personality of the girls I am interested, perhaps a subconscious desire in myself, or if these qualities have something to do with my consistent failure.

Infatuation Infidelity
FACT: You can’t cheat on someone you’re not actually dating.
FACT: You can’t cheat on someone by simply spending (casual/non-romantic) time with someone you are attracted to.
FACT: You cannot “lead someone on” when you barely even flirt with them.
PROBLEM: Regardless of these facts, I feel I am betraying someone if I have more than one crush. Read More…

Story Time: Childhood Trauma
In addition to the other changes I’ve made to the blog, I’ve decided to take a more lighthearted direction as well. I wanted to tell stories of my progress through each new goal; however, since this is a unique goal with such a long timeline, it is difficult to tell relevant current events. Instead, I’ve decided to share and analyze stories of what has happened to me in the past. Read More…

What Now?
One of the problems I always have when I find myself attracted to a person is what to do about it. My first instinct is to let the person know how I feel, by whatever means necessary. However, mostly through trial and error, I have found this and many of the other techniques I’ve tried to be futile. Read More…
