Are you the same poster who constantly goes on about being tall, thin, and blonde? |
OP here. I don’t have many friends here. I’m alway working and I don’t go out that often. The friends I do have are all married or on a serious relationship. I’m not religious and I’m not interested in a religious man. |
OP here. I am not demanding per se but I’m very type A and blunt. |
OP here. I have contemplated moving somewhere else or back home. I moved here for my ex and his job and I stayed. There’s not much tying me to here. |
The dating pool in the DC area sucks |
Tbh if you are uptight and socially awkward the DC area might be a better place for you than most. I do think there are much better places with much better people though so you could try your luck |
Bump! |
Wait you moved here for someone only making 80k? For shame. |
I feel like your soulmate is waiting for you in Minneapolis |
OP here. I did. I was young and in love. |
OP here. Too and because I will never go there. |
It’s the lyrics of Brittany Spears’ Work B |
I feel like you are making a fundamental error about how life works.
Kids in private school and a rich husband are an outcome many years down the line, not a current selection criteria. I can only imagine how horrific going on a date with you must be. Men are looking for someone they can have fun with and engage with on a humorous, social, and emotional level. They are not looking to be vetted like job applicants, as one PP said. Listen, life is a long haul. You should be focusing on someone who you like and you have fun with and can respect. You can worry about private schools for your non-existent kids later. |
It strikes me that OP does not have a lot of understanding how things currently are. Childcare costs much less than $180K so why would she mention that as a reason she wants to stay home. She is against public school but lives in Virginia? Virginia and MD have great public schools. |
And how do you think you are vetting for this in your first date conversation? Sounds like you are only focused on finances? |
