Um, I'm not sure I get this...if you were out dating frequently and found you were dating losers then I might get this conclusion but you're not! You had a long distance relationship with a man out of state and dated the plumber, who you didn't think would work out from the beginning but gave it a shot anyway. Don't limit yourself by painting all men in your area with a wide brush...hey, isn't Bruce Springsteen available lol. Dating suucks...believe me, I get it but it's all we've got unless you want to do the turtle thing...and yes, you've got so much to offer some lucky guy!
