Do I just have bad luck in dating ?

[Lablue]

Frustrated.

 

I'm 32 living in the Big Apple. I did have only one serious relationship for 3 years. Before that I didn't have boyfriends. Well I did twice but they only latest a month.

 

I do go out alot. Social events, parties and have even traveled.

 

Recently, I had met a 43 y.o who showed great interest in me. Even though he had kids I was open to giving him a chance. We went out a couple of times. Honestly I felt like he only wanted me for sex. He disappeared. And he prefers the company of a 20 year old.

 

Once again the guy disappeared. By chance I had met someone else randomly. It was great we connected. Again nothing.

 

I seem to attract briefly and nothing happens. Even when I traveled I met someone but they became flaky.

 

Even though its sweet how people say, "...you're beautiful, fun, wonderful...and to not worry something better is coming".

 

Ok when will that better come?

 

I plan on doing some meet ups and travel.

 

At this point I feel like I wont ever meet someone.

Dating in NYC is rough. There will always be somebody younger, thinner & wealthier.

 

 

Men collect women like trophies & discard them like baseball trading cards.

 

 

So part of your problem is the pond in which you are fishing.

 

 

My advice: go on craigslist. Find an ad for somebody who is running a Jersey shore summer share house in your age group. Buy a 1/2 share & fish in a different pond for a while. Do not go south of Pt. Pleasant unless you have a car; Pt. Pleasant / Bay Head are the last stops. Do not take a summer share in the Hamptons. You will have the same problems you face now.
