I'm probably too nice for my own good.
The few times I have had the balls to put myself out there for a girl, I have been burned each time. It makes it very difficult for me to do it again. I just feel like the same thing is going to happen over and over.
Every once in a while I go through a down phase of lonliness. Not from friends, because I'm blessed to have great friends in real life and on HAN, but lonliness from a female companion. Not having anyone really gets to me sometimes.
That is all for now...

Same here bro, I am working on being too nice though, don't let people take advantage that much anymore.
and to add more: I am really confused on what I want from a relationship, therefore don't want to get close to anyone. :happysad: not sure if I am truly over my ex, which bugs me because I know we probably could never get back what we had, which was something quite great. 
wow you guys have hit it totally on the mark for me. i fear not being over my ex every day, but i think it's more loneliness than anything else. i've seen her at the bars or whatever, and i don't feel a thing for her, so i think it's losing that closeness that gets to me.
one thing i've learned to do is to live life for myself. if you're not happy relationship wise, go out and reward yourself. the best way for me to cope with the breakup was to spoil myself once in a while, especially since i was saving a lot of money by not going out to dinner with her or whatever.
just try to live it up for yourself. cherish the times with your close friends, and live to make yourself happy. i go running and work out when i get into those moods. it's all about what you make of it, turning that negative energy into something positive.
