Absolutely sick of being sought after by guys I'm not interested in. My Bff had the balls to ask if I was gay. Picky?

Mind you the guys are all nice and are friends of mine but not attractive to me and its been a while. I just don't feel like compromising even if they are boyfriend material

    The best answer I have ever seen regarding this, comes from Glenda Jackson.......

    * I used to think that anything was better than nothing. Now I know that sometimes nothing is better.” -Glenda Jackson

    She went on to say......................

    "Several years ago, I crafted a clever little analogy to explain my views on dating, namely why I don’t feel constant dating is necessary: Most people will walk into a room of 50 people, scope out the prospects, play the “if I had to choose one person here…” game, and often end up starting a conversation or relationship with Mr. “Good Enough”. I, on the other hand, have no problem glancing around and then saying “no thanks, I’ll pass today”. People often feel pressured to make a decision – yes or no, black or white, John or Joe – and don’t realize that “no” is an option. If not a single person in that room lives up to your standards, you have permission to shrug your shoulders and mosey on into the next room; you have permission to walk through 20 different rooms and say “no” to every single person there. If a person or situation isn’t a good fit for you then you’ll likely end up unhappy anyways, so why not save yourself the trouble?*

    I like her thinking. Don't settle for Mr. *Good enough*

    yeah, I like it. I always point people in this direction if they start feeling like they should settle for second best. Did you ever see Sleepless in Seattle? Meg Ryan's fiance (in the movie) said to her "I don't want to be the one you settled for" Well, to be honest, I don't think anyone really wants to be the one that someone settles for.

    I wish my first wife had not settled for good enough. I wasted 20 years trying to be the one and when she left I met the person for whom I was meant.

    See, that's the point right here. I've now got parents who are filing for a divorce ( it doesn't really bother me) but if they had waited they wouldn't have been in this mess.

    No perfect fit out there. Keep trying judiciously. Find your own guy instead of waiting. The happiest and most successful people in life they say are those that are flexible and can adapt to change all around them.

    Need to do some work on that empathy thing if that's how you see yourself. That's some harsh blunt language for someone with a handle like yours.

    Oh, no. I'm gentle with them and they understand the situation already. I made it clear to both that I just want to remain being friends. One's is still pursuing and the other has me pretty confused sometimes but either way, I try not to trample their feelings and they know the situation already.

    Please tell your psychologist that you are seeing imaginary people. You believe these people care about your problems and you talk to them.

    I am telling you it's not. You think it's normal, of course, but you're all confused.

    It is ok to be picky. you just know what you want and don't want to compromise. Nor should you have to. If you want a lasting relationship you have to start with what you want.
