Getting back out there

[FAndrews]

well done

my love life is on hold, haven't had much luck and with my job-loss situation I need to focus on that, maybe in the future (done a thread about the job thing in the work situation)

Hi all

life is soo weird!! so with job loss issues going on, suddenly my online dating perks up over the last week ive been talking to two ladies, both very nice, the only issue is distance. the closest one funnily enough through chatting we discovered we both have dyspraxia! small world any of you had any experience or advice with long distance dating? i live in south somerset, one is in glastonbury the other is in south wales, near cardiff.

Think sensible answer is take things day by day. If a longer distance relationship doesn`t work out at least you`re not likely to keep seeing that person in town.

All the best

[FAndrews]

that is very true, as i happen to live in the same town as the ex. i will just have to wait and see what happens

[FAndrews]

ugh, well that was short turned out she only ever liked me as a friend happens to me a lot, just cant seem to get past the 'friendzone'

I always get this too and also fear my lack of experience is another stumbling block for me personally.

However, it's worth appreciating that some women may possibly use it as a ploy to test us and make sure we're just after the one thing so bear in mind it could be "I only see you as a friend at present". I guess what you need to weigh up is what are the chances that her feelings may change in time if I stay in for the long haul. Equally her I just want to be friends could be a kinder way of saying I don't really think you're my type. It is all so horribly confusing!

Being low in confidence hardly helps and there is a lot of pressure/the feeling that stuff has to happen quickly, when in actual fact it may be better to take time to get to know her as a female friend and maybe you will become closer as time goes on.

Hope your situation improves as I know how rubbish it is feeling lonely.
