*Sigh* Another girl with potential turns out to have a boyfriend.

[rockymountaindem]

This happens all the time and I'm tired of it. Why are all the good ones taken? Oh, right, 'cause they're the good ones.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

1. Hey, every time I find a man with potential, he turns out to have a

wife/girlfriend...or husband/boyfriend. :-(

[clovis29]

2. that soooo socks :(

[Wapsie B]

3. I know the feeling.

Whenever I was looking it seemed like all the available women went into hiding. I wish I could give you a way to just draw women out but I've had the same problem as you.

[rooboy]

4. Never mind...

one day you'll meet a girl with absolutely no potential at all :)

[tainted_chimp]

10. LOL !!

Someone buy this man a drink! :toast: :spank:

[coloradodem2005]

5. Hey. I feel the same way.

I have permanently sworn off of women. They are either attached. Or they have no interest in me. They fuck with me and want no part of me. As far as potential prospects, I am beyond done. Never again.


But, you have my sympathies.

[last_texas_dem]

6. There was a while there...

When I was interested in three girls in a row who all managed to get engaged during the time between my meeting them and my thinking about going after them. I've quit actively trying since then, not that I was trying too hard anyway...

[Floogeldy]

7. Be a man

Steal her away from her boyfriend.

[pres2032]

8. heh, i know the feeling!

i ALWAYS seem to find those girls! all the single ones are hiding somewhere! :shrug:

[Champ]

9. I don't know what to say

I run into to available women all the time, thing is I'm NOT available. I have an SO, keep looking till you find a good match.

One strange tend, I run into more available or interested women more when I'm in a relationship then I do single :silly:

[RagingInMiami]

16. That happens to me too

Or maybe it's just in my mind, but everytime I'm in a relationship or out on a date, it seems as if strange women are checking me out. But when I'm alone, they don't check me out as much.

[bettyellen]

18. we do that, no doubt... i don't know what's wrong with us.....

:shrug:

[RagingInMiami]

23. You women just love mind games

[bettyellen]

27. which only get worse when guys try to figure them out...........

[RagingInMiami]

31. A true sign of maturity for a man is when you stop trying to figure

women out. You just accept them the way they are.

[clovis29]

11. hang in there

[Longgrain]

12. Happens to me...

Three or four times a day...

[illini]

13. The trick is to find a girlfriend and then..........

all kinds of women are made available all of a sudden. Never failed before I got married. I would have a long dry spell in between girlfriends. Then I would find a someone and 50 women would be crawling out of the woodwork.

[WMliberal]

14. sound like my luck lately

A girl who I'd had a thing for for about a year now has decided to stay in Beijing for ANOTHER 6 months. Just found this out yesterday, when I was expecting to take her out for drinks in just 2 weeks. :argh:

[clovis29]

15. can you find some guy to sing "You've lost that Luvin' Feeling"?

[MichaelHarris]

17. Fight for her

if you and her have a connection talk to her, is there a "spark"? It's so very important not let one walk away for any reason, it may well be the true love you both we're meant to have, that one is out there. Bang the glass at her church during her wedding if it goes that far, if she loves you then hop in the sports car and drive off in the sunset. Never ever give up on someone you think might be right, always take a chance, roll the dice.

Michael, a man who has many many regrets.

[bettyellen]

19. michael's right- try and have no regrets.

nice people only regret what they don't do.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

21. But whatever you do, don't become a stalker

If the lady says no, believe her. Especially if she says no consistently. (I had a stalker in my senior year of college, so I'm real sensitive on this point.)

[MichaelHarris]

22. TY Betty

I have four loves in my life that have moved on. In their defense they were all close to their families and never wanted to travel. I married one of them and we had to be right next to her family, it was stifling. I had been a traveler since I was 15, parents trusted me and I kept the car running so I went off on adventures. Needless to say very few women had interests in adventures.

I look back and realize I still love all four of them, and should have compromised on my wanderlust. The regret will follow you forever for in my case I don't know how to FALL out of love. I love everyone I've ever met, each has a place. While I have the memories it pales in comparison of the company.

I think of them everyday now go call that girl right now or I'll dump all my baggage on you dammit. :)

[bettyellen]

26. i know what you mean ... my feelings are pretty fixed about people.

i stii love joey from third grade with all my heart, and the x on my coach not quite enough.
i'm really pretty hopeless in that regard. i've learned to accept it.

[MichaelHarris]

29. I need to accept it

but I've never fallen out of love. I moved 2500 miles away and started over but they are still in my heart.

[bettyellen]

30. i think it's a good thing, infinitely more noble than turning on

them or feeling bitter. As long as you keep room for new people. If you have a big heart, then there's always room for one more, right? i like to think so.

[MichaelHarris]

33. I've always

been kind hearted except with that guy StoptheMorans he picks on me all the time, He's a DU bully :) Not really he's a good guy. I have room for a few but I don't get as close as I used to.

[guitar man]

20. don't give up

I went through a series of dry spells, some real losers and some women that were outright, batshit insane before I hooked up with Mrs. GTRMAN. I was 28 when we met and got married. Just celebrated our 13th anniversary last month.

[MichaelHarris]

24. Fight muh brutha

with your heart though unless her boyfriend is real big then guns and knifes are better.

[NNadir]

25. My wife was "taken" the first time I asked her out

In fact, she was "taken" for about the first two years I knew her.

I kept my sense of humor about it (because basically I always loved her) and waited my time.

Love doesn't fall on your head. It requires patience.

[clovis29]

28. get married

then you have more leverage

[PittPoliSci]

32. things won't always be that way.

Eventually one of the good ones is going to figure out how good you are too! Chin up, keep fighting the good fight!
