Modern Day Society- Male Dating Issues

[RJDiogenes]

Of course it also throws a wrinkle into the situation that C's sister is...my brother's wife. So what do you all think? Should I back off just because of that? Or is it not at all tacky for me to date the sister of my brother's wife?

There's no problem with that at all. In fact, it's pretty common. The best way to meet people is through friends-- and in-laws count as friends, usually.

What’s wrong with dating the sister of your brother’s wife? She’s not married to anyone? She’s willing to date you? Your personalities mesh well?

Not really surprising, if you and your brother’s personalities are somewhat similar, and the two women’s personalities are somewhat similar. Or, if you’re nothing like your brother and this woman is nothing like her sister, but compatible with you.

To quote my favorite show...

I was thinking about love, but what I realized is, there are no words for it, And when you have it you trust it, and you believe in it, Take a chance on it, And you're willing to sacrifice anything to keep it no matter what the cost.

Bollocks, more like.

Happiness is hard enough for people to find without creating meaningless obstacles to it based on ridiculous social mores.

You got that right...

The latter would be more likely, I think.

Also I would not even consider this if C's son (she is divorced) did not like me. He's a great little guy. I wouldn't want to come between him and his mom though so if he didn't like me I wouldn't go near her. But he does, so I will.

The more important question is, does she like you too? If the answer is yes, I don't see a problem. Your brother and his wife should have the maturity to understand, and if they don't, that's their problem. Not yours.

Bingo.

Things are looking up on that front, I believe.

The whole family went out to dinner the other night and she asked me baseball questions.

All my best that this works out, then!

After years of being told that I'm terribly unattractive and undeserving of a relationship by pretty much everyone (at least all the girls) I talked to about it, I'm in one now with a girl who went through pretty much the exact same thing I did. She's awesome and hates people about as much as I do. So score one for the cynics.

 

[Mr Silver]

I think its great that you found someone Goji, its good to see people who've had a hard time happy, but you shouldn't feel "hatred" for people, after all we're all different, I feel pissed off with people quite often, but when I think logically about "hatred" of them, I can't justify it, its really silly to hate someone, unless what they stand for is making others lives a misery and without care

Being from the UK, I'm not sure how someone being single or "love shy" or even a virgin works over in the USA and other places, all I know is what I've seen on the likes of American Teen Comedies and films like "The 40 Year Old Virgin" which although, American, don't really paint a correct picture
