Ladies, in your opinion, don’t you think that if I moved that it would help my situation?
Unfortunately, due my decision to join the Marine Corps at 18 and then taking a job in the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado after getting out, I am a 28 y/o guy who doesn’t have ANY dating experience whatsoever. I wasn’t stationed in California while in the Marines and was instead stationed on the east coast at Camp Lejeune, NC in eastern NC. Jacksonville, NC is a town filled with nothing but Marine wives and a s*itload of SINGLE MALE Marines. Furthermore, Marines are hated in towns surrounding the base such as in the eastern North Carolina towns of Greenville and Wilmington, NC. Anyway, long story short I made the mistake of taking a manufacturing job in the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado and got laid off when the place closed down. I am currently 28 years old, have been attending the community college here, and have been ABLE to make ZERO friends here because people in the city of Colorado Springs are the most backwards, anti-social, unfriendly, and stuck up people that I’ve EVER lived around in my entire life. No one wants to be socialable and friendly here. Since I was born and raised in eastern TN and western NC, it is my nature to be socialable and friendly, but these so-called human beings don’t have a clue about what it means to be a friendly, socialable, and down to earth human being. Seriously folks, when I am at school everyone is in such a hurry to get to class and get then everyone proceeds to leave as quickly as possible. More specifically, no one is interested in getting to know new people and/or make friends with anyone that they don’t already know from high school. Please believe me when I say that it IS NOT like this back home in the South. I would probably have 2 or 3 good friends by now AND would probably at the very least have a steady g/f by now if I were living back home in the south right now. I am going to try my best to get accepted to either the University of Texas, Texas A&M, or the University of Tennessee so that I can get the hell away from these backwards and anti-social people. So, in your opinion, do you think that it will be too late for me to start dating once I am able to get the hell out of here and move back home to the southern United States? Just so you know, I DO NOT take a negative attitude towards people while at school and I do TRY to be friendly to these people. The problem is the fact that THEY simply DO NOT know how to be friendly and socialable in return.
Note to self: …need to move to camp Lejeune.
I have been to all sorts of states from Cali to New York along with Montana to Kentucky.
Honestly is really doesn’t matter where you go or how old you are. If you are able to get up and
ask a woman to go out with you or just talk then there really isn’t anything stopping you from
dating except your own fears.
As for people not being friendly. I think I take the opposite thoughts on how people are in
different areas of the world. California for instant I grew up there when I was really little and when
I went back to visit – people are still friendly. However they always have there guard up. New York
same way.
However Up north Canada, Montana and such people are still friendly but also a little nosy.
I went down south for a couple of years and well that was a horrific experience altogether.
People were friendly but the minute you blinked an eye they were stabbing you in the back.
Of course they were nice while they were getting as much information as they could and then
they didn’t care if you left the room or anything they put everyone down including their own family.
Strange as it is. It really doesn’t matter where you go to school, or work, or what state you end
up deciding to live. Just be yourself and well get out and do things besides school – keep in mind
not all people are getting school paid for some have to leave work get to class and then get back to
work or some are raising children while trying to better themselves so they can make a better life
for there families.
Not everyone is a single Marine living and moving with the service while attending school. I am sure one day you will find what it is you are looking for.
Good luck
