I didn't mind dating and getting to know girls here and there (after splitting from a long-term relationship a little over a year ago)...and I ended up meeting a lot of cool chicks with potential, but I think that my desire to get money and NOT be stuck in Michigan trumps all of that. All of my friends moved out west and I eventually want to relocate before I start making new steps.
My boy just had a baby. He's 26. The mother just turned 22. It wasn't planned and he didn't make anything official with her until after the baby was born and they were forced to live together...
but he's absolutely fukking miserable. They fight all the time over everything and dude just lost a job delivering pizzas. It's just all bad. It even gets violent at times. Cops have gotten involved on a couple occasions. They're scrambling to pay bills & aging right before my eyes. It's
VERY depressing to watch from the outside, brehs. You can see actually see people's health & sanity deteriorating.
Before she got pregnant, he was working random jobs after getting off probation and finally seemed to be on the right track. Dude lived w/ my fam for a while and eventually copped a one-way ticket to Cali. He was going to link up with the rest of our friends....then she told him she was pregnant and everything kind of spiraled downward.
I figure that it's a sign. That can NOT be me and that's the main reason I don't get hung up on "loneliness". That's just a mis-use of time & imagination. I'd rather focus on enjoying & getting to know myself more than think I need someone else to be happy right this second and end up ruining my prime. I'm in the best shape of my life, have my bachelor's degree, and my student loans are paid. Debating going back to school. I'd rather have my career in full motion and have most of my "kingdom" established so I can be at my most marketable before I go "queen-shopping". There's always going to be time for women. If you're taking great care of yourself, there's no rush b/c women are always going to be attracted to consistency & stability.
Bottom Line: Get your own shyt together and be happy with yourself before you hurry into being happy with someone else.
