why am i so unlucky in love?

Ive been in love before, and i have also been loved, but unfortunately never at the same time.

i am quite a nice person and very friendly and easy to talk to, but as soon as someone i like enters the scene i become a warbling mess, rubbish company and my conversation is "wack". whats wrong with me. frown

anyways i just felt like a wee rant. help me overcome the fear. *sigh*

tambo im sorry to hear about whats happened to you before. your right about the confidence thing, it is really important, although id have to say its nicer to hold back a bit instead of being really loud in front of people its just finding the right balance between thw two extremeties!



im feeling a bit better now, i had a moment of madness last week just feeling a bit crappy about my situation, but surely i should be relishing the fact that im young, single and have an amazing bunch of friends and have the freedom to do as i please, surely i should be enjoying it while i can. yes at the end of the day all of us want to find love, and someone to hold, but your right its not the be all end all, i was getting in a total tizzy! ~ i feel a bit silly now!!! i was feeling really insecure after breaking up with my boyfriend and stuff. i have to figure out what i need first instead of what i want right now (if that makes sense) thanks for all your comments, i dont think id be feeling better if i hadnt posted on here, i dont normally share much on forums but im glad i did!!! feel free to share your stories and thoughts though as ive never posted a thread that has gone on for two pages before and i like it and knowing me by next week ill be right back at sqaure one moaning to you guys haha! such is life!

mmm sounds familiar. In the face of rejection from a love interest you sink into a pit of despair only to realise after much pain that it is alright and you are fine and strong and going about your life in a semi coherent way, Then you realise that really that was an amazing person and you are going to miss out..... back come the stomach wrenching hair pulling stage. And like you say Kupsch its either a case of being loved or being in love but not at the same time, bit of a hard combination.

Anyway I send all of you struggling with stomach churning love problems a big hug

Tragically after years of rejection and sexuality crisis my fragile little psyche tends to interpret that 'stomach wrenching feeling' as the norm for being in love.

So even if I'm happy with someone, I'm not. because I'm not feeling that all-consuming need for someone who won't have me... I am seeing someone at the moment but I can see it going the same way... (to be honest I'm not sure if I'd happy with him anyway but gonna give it a chance)

Worse thing is, I seem to have accepted that aspect about me and am content with the fact that long term relationships aren't gonna be my thing...

Are you looking for that knight in shining armor to sweep you off your feet dave? Blow you down with a feather? Prince charming, cloud nine? And all that lot? but you never find it, you just find lovley guys who are good boyfriends, but not what your looking for? Is that what you meant?

Cannot believe I've only just found this thread! I've been wanting to post something similar for ages but didn't know where and also didn't have the guts. Was worried people would think I'm crazy or something.

Kupsch, I know exactly how you feel. I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to talking to someone I really like. For example, I showed up to the Play festival this year without knowing anyone and was happily meeting and chatting away to loads of people - made some great friends by the way! But as soon as I laid eyes on this one guy I couldn't bring myself to go and say hello to him. The people I was camping with obviously know who I'm talking about because i kept talking about him all the time! The stupid thing is that if I can randomly go up to 'normal' people and introduce myself why can't I do it with someone I like? They are just a 'normal' person like everyone else after-all.

At the mo I'm just concentrating on not obsessing and hopefully next time I see him at a festival or something I can go and talk to him, otherwise I'll just feel like a stalker!

Good luck to everyone who has posted on here by the way - hopefully we will all find happiness eventually (or already have it, you lucky people!)

Whoever that person is that thinks that about me - could you let me know coz the chances are I think that about you too! wink

thing that sounds awful is, even though its true, there is probably someone who thinks your the most special greatest person, if its not the person you want it to be, it doesnt really touch you as much. grr.

by the way, i edited my posts because i read over them and felt a bit stupid because i was obsessing over something completely ridiculous im laughing about it now and i was cringing at myself. but essentially, i do still feel like i need to aid my confidence when it comes to talking to people im attracted to.

siege im so glad you feel this way too but also sorry to hear about your "PLay" misfortune with that guy, maybe he was feeling the same? i am working on the cure for this terrible shyness, once ive cracked it, you's will be the first to know. (Ill be worth a fortune too!!)

i think this wasnt an isolated story at play, i met some incredible people there, and gazed from afar at even more, altho i did manage to talk to a couple of these people.

it was kinda made easier at play, cos if someone was doing something u were into, then u cud kinda go over and b like oh have u done this move etc... but then that sounds cheesier than anything lol

pah, its never easy, but i have resigned myself to being pretty mch permanantly single confused

Sim dude, I know exactly what you mean. Don't give up!! It will happen. I was single for 3 years at Uni, despite being surrounded by up-for-it students all in the same boat. Nearly drove me nuts, until I figured out why.



See, I'm fine with chatting to people, although I'm more at home with a few people than a crowd, and I generally get on well with people 1 to 1, even people I really like. The problem I have is a total inability to flirt AT ALL. frown



So I keep falling into the "friendship trap" as a mate calls it. I wind up being really good mates with whover I'm interested in. I'm not at all touchy feely by nature, so I guess I never come across as being interested, even when I'm crazy about that person. And the more I hang around them, the more frustrated with myself I get, my sense of humor vanishes, and I end up clamming up totally, which obviously is not the best way to pull. rolleyes



Best solution to the shyness I've found so far? beerchug ubblol

Kupsch, this thread is soo much up my alley! boys and my fruitless efforts in love is my favourite topic of conversation! and i totally sympathise with you. i am a massive flirt, and get 'crushes' really quickly, but once i decide i really like someone i totally loose my bubbly self from fear of rejection redface and i see other people meet someone and fall in love and conduct and successful relationship, but i doesn't seem to ever come together for me.

an older friend of mine told me to 'write a list' about the perfect man. she wrote a list, and it took her 5 years to find him, but when she did, he fit everyone of them and they have been together now for 8 years! so, i've written a list. it contains some basic 'he'll take care of me when i'm sick' kind of things right through to the more random 'knows all the words to the womble's theme tune' just so i know i've found the one one he appears! to tell you the truth, many of them are based on the last relationship i had and what i don't what to repeat from that. i have had my list for a year now, and i haven't found him, but another friend who was given the same advice did find her man, and every time i see her she looks happier and happier
ubblove

i had something really random happen to me recently. after really not having much action for a while, within a week, i got kissed (and it was absolutly them who made the first move) by 2 boys i had crushes on when i was 14!!!! i had to wait 12 years for those crushes to come to fruition! both of them i had lost contact with for a few years and was really enjoying getting to know them again. unfortunatly niether are really possibilities for a relationship at the moment.

i have a whole bunch of disasterous stories which i won't bore you with here, but if anyone want to feel better about their own problems in love, just ask me and yours will pale in comparison.

Thanks SamboFlux biggrin just after i made my post i saw yours above mine. i like your avatar btw hehe

flirting is easy! just keep it light and funny - make personal jokes. flirting is really just giving your full attention to comeone and making them feel worthy. my very favourite thing is when a man catches my eye across a room and winks at me - it shows he is thinking about me!

alot of my disatrous stories revolve around my amazing skill to make men i am attracted to become irresistably attracted to someone else! it happened 4 times in 1 month once! confused

ohhh i can flirt lol thats never a difficulty

sam - no i aint giving up or anything lol

one thing that can get annoyin is jus cos you talk about this stuff in realistic terms everyone automatically thinks you're on the brink of some lack-of-love-induced suicide or something

nope, i just dont like dressing things up, if its a piece of sheeyat, ill call it one

and lets be honest alot of the time all this stuff is, but the only reason we carry on is because we know when it is right, its worth all that effort

I'm in love with someone.

Theyre not in love with me.

This sucks.

Its always been this way with me too. You find someone you like, and you try not to be pervy, but i'm naturally sinister looking anyway (for those that dont know me, i look like a psychotic Nazi poster boy. But fatter)

That'd be nice, but I'm stuck in one place and don't get to meet anyone. I need to learn to drive, get a van, and go festival hopping all summer.

I'm just worried because I've never done the whole tip-toeing around getting to know if someone likes me thing. I've been jumped on by a couple of decisive ladies in the past, but I'd like to meet someone who's quiet like me.

I hear ya onthe quiet thing polarity! I'm fairly quiet too. I find people take it for disinterest sometimes, but it's more that I don't talk unless I think I genuinely have something to say (or i'm drunk, hehe).

There should be more decisive ladies out there!! wink
