What are you after? A hookup? A relationship? Do you feel ready for the latter?
I was lowkey in love with this girl for like 10 years
the difficulty is that she has such a large social network and hanging out is extremely difficult to schedule. I'm also very busy so it would be difficult.
but I do think we'd be a good match. she is one of the few people that actually gets me.
D1: primary responsibility is holding the line and providing steady guidance for everyone else. Some occasionally fill a similar role as a forward and great ones are just as well know as great ones at other positionsHmmm...
Not sure about that... :|
I was with you with the Goalie/Drummer comparison though.
Also, you're a lot cooler now, now that I know you're a goalie and drummer.
You were cool before that too... ;P
D2: background supporting role. (Tbh I couldn't think of a 6th instrument)
LW: consistent support for the melody. Won't get many accolades but there's an art to what they do
RW: flashy memorable. Usually the second person who you think of in the group. Has times where they just take over in the middle and can get known outside of the context of the group
C: face of the entire thing. Often in charge of what happens out there and also likely to be able to dictate what happens off the ice. Usually the first person you think of when you consider the group

Wait I don't remember what happened last time Seth. Did you ever confess your feelings, or did you give up because she moved away? That changes my recc this time.

Still not on board...
The best C's have to be great 2 ways players.
Almost as if they would be the lead guitarist.
Or maybe a Singer and guitarist combo
I dunno, just seems there's too many variables to make it a perfect analogy with a band. :|

Man i always pour my bathwater way too hot
Well If you go with the general trend with the rest then rhythm=defense/grit and melody= offense so just give the lead singer a tambourineStill not on board...

But the point is more that centers are the stars. Not often where other players overshadow the centers.
yeah that's exactly the case and kind of my feeling atm
and yeah I told her what was up, she was flattered but said that she was moving so.... kind of thinking she isn't down but didn't want to be mean about it.

kind of feeling like I'm going to be hermit status henceforth tbh
I would like to think that when I have more time something will happen but the people I actually like are so rare that it's looking pretty bleak.
maybe I shouldn't be so specific.
yeah I watched it this past weekend with the star wars socks girl
it's good dumb fun. the ending was kind of weak though.
yeah, we are still friendly but it's pretty clear it isn't going to work out.
I don't get it. I have so much of my life figured out except for that. not sure what the deal is or what I need to change.
pardon me while I mope for the rest of the day

My solution would be the whole frog in boiling water thing. As the water gets more gradually warm while you're in the still filling up tub, you'll be better adjusted to taking a hot bath.

Seems that a lot of centres are the stars now, I'll give you that. ;P
Though a winger did win the Hart this year.
I find it interesting how after a style goes out of fashion and the next generation grows up to associate it with older people they assume it would make you look old. Every style when they existed were meant to look good on good looking people but becaus of our associations we have trouble recognizing that.
What we now consider old peoples styles were once rebellious and cutting edge but now they're conservative and unflattering.
And the reason I'm bringing this up is I'm going to try to make Edwardian fashion work for my game. Gonna mostly turn the dresses into blouses and overcoats but the hair is definitely going to be quite similar and the hats are going to be similar but toned down. Probably going to adapt done of the dresses to work for men too since they had boring suits back then but idk

yeah we've known eachother a while it's not like I have to pick the movie with kid gloves haha.
if a movie not being romantic or nice or whatever hurts your date then you probably shouldn't be doing a movie to begin with
@SolVanderlyn IIRC you liked Myst games and I saw some Myst like games are coming. In case you're interested.

Having your life figured out doesn't mean anything if they're not interested in you as a person
Not saying you're a bad person, cause your great, but you're not going to scratch everyone's itch, you know? Like not everyone is gonna be interested and that's okay. It happens to all of us.
How dare you. Don't distract him from Ys, Vaz!
If you were sending me d pics and vids I wouldnt have to do this. Also he can finish Ys games before those games come out for most of the part.

Having your life figured out doesn't mean anything if it's not a life that someone else wants to share. There are so many factors in attraction and interest, it's folly to boil things down to having life figured out. For one thing, there are myriad different kinds of mature adult you can be. For another, having your shit figured out isn't a prerequisite for everyone.
I don't know this girl so I don't know what she wants or doesn't want. But if she's not interested right now then you have to be okay with that. There's nothing worse than a guy who keeps thinking he has a chance when you feel like you've already made it quite clear that there's not.

I'm pretty sure I already said I'm letting it go.
but yeah, good insight on everything else.
I think he's saying "why haven't I found someone yet" rather than "why doesn't she (specifically) like me". He already basically said that he gave up due to different reasons
And the answer is basically just that it's random and the only way to increase the odds is keep meeting new people (or lower your standards but personally that's not something I consider to be a good idea)
Insatiable.
More like devoted thrist.

I know. I'm just being thorough. You have the best intentions so I'm not upset.
Yeah, that's a better reading than I had. And you're right. Sometimes you just keep striking out and it makes no sense, like all the bad luck Lea keeps having.
exactly.
thinking back on my various successes it's all been serendipity. nothing I have forced.
which is why I'm not all that bummed out. I didn't fail here. It just didn't happen. so I shouldn't be discouraged.
I think the real reason I'm down is because of a general lack of support from people in my life. basically my family are the only ones that are particularly encouraging. all my friends have their own shit going on. and other than this past weekend I haven't had any real social interaction in months.
it would be nice to have someone I was romantically entangled with be there to encourage and vice versa.
Thanks Em.

I know exactly what you mean only my family isn't exactly supportive.
It's nice to have someone to comfort you and reinforce your confidence and it makes it easier to feel good if you're doing the same for someone else.
It sounds like you need better friends, honestly. I know those can be really fucking hard to find, though.
aaaghhhh lea you're killing me! hahaha. this is the cutest idea
I have so much to learn about taking baths. Total novice here

+there are jelly beans in the back
I'm taking notes. Soon I'll be a monster and they'll send me to stop you.
in all seriousness I think I might be almost as suggestible as Lili, because now I want all the things
it's not that my people are bad, it's just that they have slowly moved to a totally different place in life than me. most of them are now married, getting married or having kids. and it's like I was so close to being that guy but then the divorce happened and derailed me. so that common ground is basically non-existant now. and what's worse is that their life serves as a constant reminder of how it didn't work out with my ex.
I'm not doing myself any favors either by working and going to school full time. I don't have a ton of time to get out there. but something socially would be nice you know?
there is this party at a pub going on this weekend that I'll probably go to by myself and maybe I'll find some cool people to talk to but probably not.
..... I'm feeling like I've been waaaaay to transparent. burn this whole page.

I don't like taking baths. I take showers standing up in the pitch black with rock music blaring. Turn out all the lights, plug up all the doorjams with towels to keep light from seeping in. Total visual deprevation. Cold water.
