@Matt - I'd suggest you reconsider your opinions. If your point was that like will always have challenges and that is something reasonable people need to remember you need to revise how you state them. I don't feel the need to prove myself, and I enjoy things. You might want someone who loves you/probably will grow to love you.

I always thought what I wanted was someone who loved me or would grow to love me. Instead, I usually ended up with manic depressive with abandonment issues who will eventually snap. If I don't have to change my cell number after a relationship, then it is a good day. It's made me a bit skittish with my current girlfriend. I keep waiting to find out what freaky issue she has that is eventually going to fall in my lap.

@Dwayne. No sir. I'll give you an example. I'm talking to two girls right now. One is laid back, fun, texts or calls whenever. Has her own stuff going on. The other will NOT leave me the hell alone. I just started seeing both of them and I'm ready to stop seeing the clingy one. There is no challenege, it's boring and kind of sketch. Why is she like this, this early? That's a red flag. The other I'll have to put some time in, but all indications are she'll turn out great (who the hell knows though.) See my point?
@Jack- I feel your pain sir. I really do.

I just started seeing both of them and I'm ready to stop seeing the clingy one.
If I were straight, I would have been the clingy one. Lol. Actually, I'm still the clingy one. No matter what sexual orientation, there's always gotta be the clingy one. Did you tell the clingy one to back off and give you room to breathe? Some people don't take a hint until you tell them to.
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind having a woman be clingy with me. It happened in college and in the dorm once. Granted, I wasn't into her and I wasn't "out" yet, but that entire day felt weird and I didn't know how to tell her. Fortunately, it lasted a day.
I'm sure you'll tell us what happens because this is quite interesting. I'm sure you'll end up with the more laid back one. That's a typical romance story in my book.
My first ex-lover was totally laid back and I wasn't sure if she was into me, so I drifted off. I'm very insecure and can easily drift away. I don't talk much about them anymore because their story is boring, the ones that have no ambition toward me. I need a woman to chase me. Lol. I'm done chasing women.

@Matt - That's my point. A stalker is way more of a challenge (not getting her to hang out with you, but all things considered) then a lady who understands you have a life.

Stalker is a challenge? How so? I wouldn't call her a stalker, she is just coming across desperate. I mean, when you really get into to someone it's different, but ya know

I don't get why you're still giving her hope. I think you're afraid that she may put a curse on you like in that new Johnny Depp movie Dark Shadows. You need a safety exit.

You know, I think I might have had someone hit on me online, and I have no idea why anyone would want to hit on me. Usually, I scare everyone away. It's part of my defense mechanism. Not here, of course, I meaning my defense mechanism doesn't work here. I'm alert elsewhere. I should turn on my defenses here though. I thought by deleting my Twitter, no bots would show up. Shows ya how much I thought I was important. How do bots make their way here. It's a new concept for me. The other forums I used to go to never really had this problem. Actually, I've only been active in one other my entire life and...I guess I didn't notice it. Everyone seemed so informative.

@Matt - I haven't given up, no. But there are days, man. There are days.
Mostly I'm just content to work. That seems to keep me fulfilled and happy, and when I'm doing that, I'm not spending so much time worrying about all the other endless collections of steaming bullshit that have popped up around my life over the last few years.
But yeah... challenge has its place. I wish I was more up for it than I used to be, if only because it's energizing when you feel up to whatever task, and pretty demotivating when you don't. Right now I'm considering going back to school (and in fact will probably do so), but I was pretty excited about it for a few months, and now I'm just not sure I've got there wherewithal to really give it the attempt it deserves.
Time will tell, I guess.

And it's important enough to make me feel happy about it, but not so important that I feel like I need to work harder than I actually do.
