The pompatous of Love
6 years ago
Before you all start snickering at the title, which wouldn’t be unnecessary, what do you think of the merits of trying to find love when you can? I don’t mean soliciting it in an unsavory way, I mean finding a loving relationship that will last. I’m personally getting tired of this biological need, this instinct to find not just physical gratification, but to just be with someone. To be close to someone in an intimate way. I’ve tried for years to suppress the need, but there are times when it manifests in ways I can’t predict, like in dreams. It’s all just a tease, and I’m tired of it. So much else is keeping me busy these days, and finding a girlfriend should be at the very bottom of my priorities. Yet the jealousy is sometimes just enough to sting me to my core.
Still, do you believe it’s worth pursuing? If you’re already in a relationship, what are the downsides of tying your life utterly to someone else? What are the benefits?

I am in the same situation as you on this i'm afraid. I know that love is worth it though.

it helps to satisfy a need that can't be filled any other way. I've had tastes of it, but nothing real enough.

I know how you feel. I shouldn't be so bummed that I'm a shy, dateless wonder, yet it gets to me sometimes.

Nothing wrong with being shy, but you should at least attempt to ask a girl out. Off the top of my head, speed dating events at certain cons are a good place to start.

I’ve already come to terms with the fact that I’ll never have a partner.

That shouldn't be something you settle on so easily. I feel it's worth it to at least try when you can.
