The girl I've been persuing for a few months now just told me that she's dating another guy. He happens to be 28 to her 18. I've met exactly three girls in my life that have any marriage potential at all, and every one of them has rejected me for another guy. The first keeps getting back together with the same guy who's insecure and insensitive, the second has known her guy for five months and is marrying him in another three, and the third is this one.
Damn.

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

As much as it may hurt right now, these things have to come naturally. If you're doing the right things with the right intentions, and it still doesn't work, then it's probably just not meant to be. On the other hand, if the trend continues, say, 5 years down the road, then the problem might lie with you, and there's probably something you're doing consciously or unconsciously that's not working. Self-knowledge is a good thing.

Besides, you're 18, aren't you? Worrying about marriage at that age should only be done if it's the only way you're going to get some sex.
Hmm.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

If you're still saying "I'm going to be blah blah blah in x number of days", rather than trying to hide it, you are far too young to do, well, anything.

Look at the bright side, Omega: at least you're not friends with the guy she's dating now.
I just learned that the only woman I've ever loved (unrequited, no less!) has left her alcholic fiance' (a former co-worker of mine) and is on her own. Not that she's spoken to me in three years: the fiance' would fight wih her if she even called me. He was pretty insecure...although I'd have taken her from him if I could have.
meh.
Now I'm all a mix of unresolved emotions and self-loathing for feeling anything at all for this woman that probably doesnt think of me at all.
Fun city.
At least I can blare Ministry in my car and forget all about it while driving...
mmmmmm.....Ministry.

You might as well make the effort. Nothing ventured, nothing shagged. 'Course, how long you wait before making the approach, and how you make the approach, is another question entirely. . .

I dont even know how long it's been since their breakup....could only be a few weeks or a few months.
I've come to the grim realization that just because she's not with him doesnt mean that she'd want to be with me either.
Besides, I'm no one's fallback guy.
Stupid as it sounds, I would like to know she's allright though. (note: this is as sickly vulnerable as I allow myself).

Actually, he and I get along quite well, at least we have until now. Haven't seen either of them since I declared my interest.

Well, what you've just said is entirely what's wrong with the approach. If you approach every relationship with the desire for sex in mind, then it's gonna be obvious eventually. Be her friend when she needs you, and see what happens. It's worked so well for me, after all.

Not stupid. You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
