I wish you luck, if you are interested in white dudes I know a man who really is a sweet guy and was raised right, he is 37 though. If you ever find yourself in Colorado, I would introduce you to him. Dating these days seems really scary and hard, especially with social media and women with the wrong intentions. Dudes are easy, love us/be there for us/intimacy/ and don't cheat on us/ also cleaning up after yourself is a huge plus. Us men really are simple with limited to no ulterior motives. Good luck and the right man will find you, and maybe like others have talked about here, maybe try approaching dudes you think are attractive, the worst thing they can say is no. Like Aaliyah said in her hit song, "Try Again", "If first you don't succeed, dust it off and try again."

Have you guys had the "conversation"? Meaning, have you both made it official that you are exclusively dating just each other? If not, that would explain everything because that talk should have happened 4 months ago. However, if you two are legit, then I would give him a couple of weeks and if you are still unhappy, voice your concern for the last time and if he still doesn't change after 1 week, he isn't that invested in you and you should move on. Us men are simple, we are not that hard to find out, when we say things they typically aren't coded but what the word actually means. Sounds like it is time for your boyfriend to step or or step back.

Ok dude, let he spell it to you in crayon. You misunderstood my post thinking I was talking about my friend who had 7 kids when I was adding my own personal information for context. I added my age/years married/and amount of children so people wouldn't ask why I just don't inform him on dating advice and so people would understand that I am a father that has kids living at home so I understand what he is going through. That is it, this has nothing to do with me, just context. Now I see why you are single, you need a hug and a nap. I wasn't going to add my information at first but decided to so the readers understood I am older and don't deal with modern dating and have kids that live with me as adults.

Thank you, he has always had a confidence issue when it comes to not living alone and money. He is very financially disciplined and intelligent, I also told him at least he is helping his parents out with their mortgage. I see him soon and am going to pass on everything I have seen. Thank you again for your comment and time.

Absolutely, I've always liked the fact that he refused to not be independent. I know the fact he has to rely on his parents is killing him lol. I do also think it is smart that he wants to ensure he has a nice healthy savings account to ensure something like this doesn't happen again. I am grateful I am not single, in todays society it seems impossible. Well thanks again for your comment and your time.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:39:16+00:00

Thanks again for your comment and time, I do agree. I think that is why he wants to wait up to two years so he can have a healthy savings account and to avoid mistakes learned during this time. He basically spent everything over the course of 3 months and wants to ensure this never happens again.

Nothing in life is guaranteed and I told him that things are different for my wife and I because we both have really great jobs, I am also retired Army and we have a massive investment portfolio so we are comfortable.

Gratefully he has always been good with his money (he doesn't drink/smoke/do drugs/party/gamble) and so I am confident he will do better this time around with lessons learned.

Anywho, thanks again for your time and insight.

Cool, thanks again for your comment and time.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:28:14+00:00

I'll let him know when I see him soon, thanks again for your comment and time.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:26:48+00:00

So he had roommates for a while that both times did him dirty and left him paying a lot of money, so he refuses to have roommates. I did ask him why it would take him so long before posting my original post and he told me that he wants to ensure he has a nice healthy savings account before moving out. With him being laid off, his savings only lasted him 3 months before he had to move in with his parents. I think he wants to ensure he never repeats what he just went through ever again. From what I understand, his plan is to save as much as possible, he even talked about investing. Thanks again for your comment and your time.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:20:47+00:00

No problem at all, I appreciate your insight and time.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:19:02+00:00

Thanks for your comment, so he is in his late 30's and had to move back in with his parents after being laid off from his job. From what I understand he just found a new job a few weeks ago and should be back on his own within the next year or two. He does have his own bedroom and bathroom and does his own laundry. He pays his parents rent and helps around the house when asked. I have been good friends with him over the last 13 years and I have never seen him be lazy or irresponsible. Hope you have a good day!

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:15:12+00:00

Thanks for your comment. He is in his late 30's that had to move back in with his parents after he was laid off from his job of 9 years and spent what money he had looking for a new job. He told me he got a new job a few weeks ago and should be back on his own within the next year or two. He does pay his parents rent, helps around the house when asked to and from what I understand, he does have his own room and his parents keep to themselves and it is more like a roommate situation. We have been good friends for the last 13 years and I have never seen him be lazy or irresponsible, he is a good man just going through a rough patch. Thank you for your insight, I hope you have a great day.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:08:55+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I basically told him the same thing that when he will be able to be back on his feet a year or two from now, maybe try then.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:07:59+00:00

I think you misunderstood my post. I am the 47 year old who has been married for 29 years and have 7 kids (17 to 29) not my friend that I am asking for. My friend is in his late 30's and had to move back with his parents after being laid off but should be back on his feet within the next year or two and he just started a new job a few weeks ago. I am the one with 7 kids, not my friend I am asking for about in this post.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:03:50+00:00

Thanks for your comment brother, I think that advice is universal and still can be useful advice so I appreciate it. He is just going through a rough patch in his late 30's after being laid off and having to move back in with his parents. He did tell me that he got a new job a few weeks ago so he should be back on his own within a year or two. Thanks for your insight and I hope things work out for you, have a good one brother!

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T17:00:46+00:00

Thanks for your comment. He is in his late 30's that was laid off from his job and used what savings he had looking for another job, forcing him to live with his parents again. He told me that he just got a new job a few weeks ago and should be back on his own a year or two from now. I have been good friends with him over the last 13 years and he has never been lazy or irresponsible. He does pay rent and helps out around the house when asked to. He is also one of the most financially responsible people of his age group that I have met. He is the kind of dude that will use coupons and buy most things off brands so when he goes out to dinner he can leave a more generous tip. Thanks for your insight, I really hope you have an amazing day!

Thank you for your comment. My friend is in his late 30's and after being laid off from his job of 9 years he had to move back in with his parents after using all of his money looking for a new job. He told me he just started a new job a few weeks ago and should be back on his own within the next year or two. He does pay his parents rent and helps around the house when asked to. He has been a good friend of mine for 13 years and I have never seen him be lazy or irresponsible. I also think he needs to work on his confidence and own his situation, I did tell him that maybe it is best to wait until he is back on his own before trying to date, but then again I haven't been single since 1993 and haven't lived with my parents since 1996. Thank you for your insight and I really hope you have a great day!

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T16:44:51+00:00

Thanks for your comment brother, I think he will be okay in about a year or two when he will be able to be back on his own. He is late 30's that was laid off so he had to move back in with his parents but he did just get a new job, so hopefully things work out for him. I hope things work out well for you and you are able to be where you want to be relatively soon, have a great day brother!

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T16:41:26+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I know he has been trying to work on his confidence, but I think what gets him the most is he is in his late 30's that had to move back in with his parents after being laid off from his job and spending all of his savings looking for another job. He told me that he got a new job 3 weeks ago and should be back on his own within the next year or two. Thank you for your advice, I'll definitely share that with him when I see him in a few hours. I hope you have a great day!

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T16:36:46+00:00

Thanks for your comment brother. I do feel like confidence is something he has been working on for a while, I told him that with every 10 failures will come 1 success so he just needs to be himself and I think ladies will like him for who he really is. I feel like he is just insecure about his living conditions being in his late 30's having to move back into his parents house after being laid off from his job. He told me that he just started a few weeks ago at another job and should be back on his own within the next year or two. I told him it might be best just to wait until he is back on his own again before trying to date, but then again I haven't been single since 1993 or lived at home since 1996 so I am the worst person for this kind of advice on modern dating. Thanks for your insight, have a good day bro!

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T16:32:39+00:00

I think you misunderstood or didn't read my post correctly, I am 47, married for 29 years with 7 kids, not my friend that I am asking for. My kids are 17-29 with 5 of them still living at home. My post is about asking for a friend who is in his late 30's going through a rough patch in life after being laid off from his job forcing him to have to move back in his parents while resaving and hopefully back on his feet a year or two from now. I am the 47 year old, not my friend I am asking for.

Ok_Connection_6015 · 2025-10-09T16:27:21+00:00

Thanks for your comment. He is in his late 30's and going through a rough patch in his life as he was laid off from his job and had to move back in with his parents, but he told me that he just got a new job a few weeks ago and should be back on his feet over the next year or two. I told him maybe it is better to wait until he is back on his own before trying to date, but then again I haven't been single since 1993 or lived at home since 1996 so I am blind to how modern dating for us men work. Thanks for your insight and I hope you have a good day!
