Uhh sure I can get a date, yippee...but guess what clearly I am so boring no one keeps an interest in me. So meh, don't know what to do....maybe not meant to find any kind of ongoing relationship. I just want someone to enjoy vinyls and going to concerts with me and maybe cuddling listening to music or you know just hanging out...tripping together. IDK what guys are looking for...guess I am not it. Hell I don't even expect some clean shaven, professional career minded person, in fact that may even be a turn off. I also like facial hair on some guys, it doesn't look good on all guys but have seen guys where they look better with it than without so its like even that is not a turn off and I know lots of people now-adays are obsessed with guys with clean shaven faces and chicks with clean shaven arms and legs well screw that crap.

I don't know where are all the hippie dudes and dirty metalheads who just want to enjoy some time with a girl and have it potentially go further? Wow kind of embarrassed to post this but I guess I am getting a little lonely, seeing people even people close to me in great seeming relationships. My cousins already having a baby and from the impression I've got they'll make it work..I don't want to have a baby, but its like I can even hope to be in a relationship serious enough that would even be considered.

Well, you are fortunate in that one of your interests involves being in a social situation: going to concerts. In that alone you have two guarantees: most of the people there like going to concerts, and most people there like at least some of the same music you do - assuming that you think these are both important factors in a relationship.

But I would also be cautious in the way of meeting people at clubs/concerts (or other places where people are just 'having a good night') perhaps being more inclined to show interest in one night stands instead of forming lasting relationships with those they meet.

I don't find you boring. You just haven't met your guy yet, so you either haven't been lucky or are doing something wrong. I have some friends who may be your type, but you are quite far :P.

Been there... still am. Only difference is I'm trying to chase down a job, primarily because my parents are pathological worker bees. I can't for the life of me understand why hippiedom and productivity are seen as mutually exclusive by the majority. I've learned more code tripping than practically any other time in my life. :| Hell, despite how smart they are my folks are obsessed with conformity to the point of health risk.

Seems to me everyone who believes their actions and possessions separate them from the rest of the biosphere is still mammalian. A favorite song of mine lately states that we're already evolving into machines in our minds...

Or you are significantly better looking in pics than in real, in dating you get dismissed sometimes for far shallower reasons than being boring or not.

Sweetleaf: when you say "vinyls," do you mean what we used to call "records" Do you play "vinyls" on a turntable?

We might just get back "record stores!"

We used to call "turntables" "record players." In the 1970's, record players were usually attached to stereos--by that time, they began to be called turntables. In the 1960s, we just had self-contained record players whose only function was to play records.

Whatever the deal is about people not keeping interest in you is a little odd. It's hard to get an accurate read on someone over the internet, though from your posts you seem pretty cool, thoughful and interesting. Try not to let it get to you too much.

I do not see why those are seen as mutually exclusive either....but perhaps people define productivity differently. guess some people don't see you as productive unless you have a normal career and fit societies definition of success(big house and more cars than you need for instance). I myself am on SSI, but I feel I still do productive things just am not able to hold a job.

But yeah sort of awkward talking about how i even have income around new people...never know what they'll think of being on welfare, so I usually say I am not currently working and mention a couple things I would like to eventually do...of course not sure if people would think I am most likely on disability, between jobs with money saved/getting unemployment or if they think I have parents who can afford to give me money on a regular basis. I want to just be more open about it but afraid of bad reactions even though I certainly would not want to be friends let alone anything more with someone who would judge me for that.

Indeed, that is exactly what I mean...and yeah I do play them on one, It's wooden looks like one of those vintage box turn tables but it also has a cassette player, radio and cd player as well as audio input so I can plug my computer into...just got it at target a while back. Of course I would like to get another one that could be hooked up to a nice speaker system as I do not think the current device has audio output to do that with.

As for record stores, there's one within walking distance of my house that is pretty cool...but they sell mostly metal and punk which I like but obviously it doesn't quite satisfy my interests in genres outside that like psychedelic rock...though there is certainly metal with heavy psychedelic influence which I do enjoy a lot.

Well I know with one he had a possessive ex, and a child with her so it just ended up getting in the way and then he lost his apartment and went out to stay with friends in california and didn't bother to tell me that before he left...heard from him once more but yeah for all I know he got back with his ex. Then there was one who couldn't get over feelings over some other girl....then the last one who apparently had been seeing someone before they got together with me then after we met up a few times told me we couldn't have anything ongoing because of that. I guess perhaps its best if from now on I make sure we are on the same page as to what we want out of a relationship...because that kind of stuff is annoying.

That kind of relationship baggage is what makes meeting someone and moving forward with them tricky. Guess also sometimes it's hard to be upfront about what's happening with current relationships. People may not mean to be dishonest, though they might not know what is going on with themselves and want to face it. So they might not be as forthcoming and honest out of confusion within themselves? Does that make sense?

Guess what I'm saying is what they did isn't personal toward you. You seem to know what you want/looking for and that makes things so lot easier. :)

Yeah in those cases it did still kinda bother me, but certainly seemed more about them and their baggage then something personal towards me in those cases. Last time I didn't care too much, kinda made an effort not to get too attached up front so then when it turned out there was no relationship to be had after all I moved on pretty easily.

Sweetleaf, you don't sound boring at all. You actually sound pretty much like the sort of person who I'd want to spend time with. :oops:

Sounds like you have been dating the wrong people. They sound like they all have tremendous bagage. I wouldn't say it has that much to do with you as a person.
