The Bitterness of Missing Out on Love
Posted on 2/23/20 at 8:21 pm
Posted on 2/23/20 at 8:21 pm
As the title clearly explains, love is the one aspect (and sadly the most important when you really think about it) of my life that I have absolutely failed at miserably.
I've just been messaging a friend of mine who has also struggled with love. He told me he's had many family members and friends (including 1 I guess about a week ago) try to hook him up, especially with "good women" who are just out of a bad situation. He has no interest and I don't blame him.
I went into a rant and told him I think it's ridiculous that guys like me and him are expected to essentially "save" broken women. That we are supposed to date women who are divorced/separated/out of a bad relationship and be the responsible ones. Like where was our fun?
It all goes back to one of (if not the biggest) regret of my life. That I never got to experience pure innocent love. I never got to experience the love that many of you got to experience in high school, college or mid 20s. The "fun, no cares in the world, our life is just starting and still ahead of us, we can do anything" type of love. It kills me a little bit each day that I've never had (and probably will never have) that type of love.
Am I making too much of a big deal over it? Do you think my bitterness is justified or misguided?

Real insight there, lol. Yes I did miss out, I guess I'm trying to figure out how to keep it from absolutely consuming me. The idea that I'll never know what pure innocent love is like.

The only thing you missed out on is a shite ton of heartache my friend. The person who said it’s better to have loved and lost than never loved at all was a dumbass.

this troll job would work if it weren’t so long.

Seek therapy. You are not going to get what you need here.

I came to the realization a few years a that I’m going to die alone. It’s pretty depressing

Yeah really not the religious type. I grew up Catholic but I fell away years ago and the whole sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic church has definitely kept me away. In many ways I should've been born in the future when we stopped believing in mythical sky people, lol.

Any guy who is single chooses to be single.
When's the last time you asked someone for a date.

I just had a first appointment with a therapist last week. Not sure if I'm going to keep her or not, she seemed okay. But yes I am giving it a shot.

You cannot die alone if you take someone else with you.
