I hate this question, and i really dislike some of the responses.
Being in a relationship is a growing experience, good, or bad relationship. You grow up as a person, you grow up with a person, you realize things you never thought of that you are attracted to and not attracted to with a person. You learn compromise, you learn patience, you learn to think of more than just yourself, and at times you learn to think about yourself as well. You gain faith, you gain trust, you become a different person because you're able to open yourself to someone more than you have ever felt you've been able to.
Yes, a breakup comes with pain, but one needs to grow a thick skin, and you wont be happy, you wont learn to grow and be strong, without taking risks and being prepared to get hurt.
If you stop yourself from doing things because you fear "getting hurt" you've already lost. If you end up getting dumped or breaking up with someone, you have to learn to brush yourself off, and try again.
It is part of life, it is part of growing up, and people do themselves a disservice avoiding relationships because of fear getting hurt
This. I'm also super dramatic
and it's stupid now that I think about it, like I don't think rationally in a relationship 
But you learn a lot, even if in the end you hate or still "love"(in before: define love and all that stuff
) your ex, you learn soooooo much, most of the time too late to have any impact on that relationship, sometimes too late to realize what went wrong or why certain things happened, but it makes you a better person

Hard to have plans when my bf is across the ocean and he really hates sappy stuff. (I end up doing it anyways)

Definitely subscribing to this newsletter.
I have actually never been subscribed to a newsletter before, I wonder if it's difficult and if I can handle it.

I think imma get Chinese for lunch. I work 1130a-8p, so my day is a little odd. I dont get lunch until most places switch over to their dinnertime menu. My day looks a LOT like yours
Im just finished waking up and showering. Now sitting at work. Was 25 minutes late because I could not drive myself out of bed.
it's really pathetic how true that is.
My local circle of friends are all about this. Both male and female acquaintances always say that if I had never told them they would have assumed otherwise. It's not like i'm uber masculine or putting on airs in front of people, its just that being myself just screws with what I'm going to assume is their realllly terrible gaydar.
Of course having the same conversation in a gay bar always gets me the response of "Bitch please you gay." LOL

I'm going to his place tonight when he gets off of work, wanna get to know him.
Yeah, or the classic "well, maybe if you act more gay..you'll met more people" (coming from other gay men).
Oh well. XD
You'll get to know him alright.

MidnightScott, remember the. . .
But, seriously, this is great! You get an opportunity to feel this guy out—to see if he's really right for you.
Gotta love that one.
Apparently I would be "eaten alive" at Woof's in Atlanta according to a few guys i'm talking to now. I'm assuming its because i'd be fresh meat but who knows. I think my curiosity may get the best of me next weekend XDDD

What kind of movies do you like, and where are you watching it? The theater?
Nope, not a fan of a theatre for an early date. His place.
Therefore a movie with a good first half is hopefully all that'll really matter.

I Don't Believe You is one of my favorite Pink songs, so bitter sweet.
I also remember listening to Who Knew while I was with my ex and thinking "I hope that's not gonna be me!". It was.
Are you being interviewed?! For what?
Yup. Was talking about some films. This was in Asia though.

Wait, you lost your boyfriend to a drug overdose?

I had Princess of China by Coldplay on repeat for a few days after we broke up. Those were dark times. :| My new theme song for life is Remedy by Little Boots though.
[i was gonna write a long post here about this guy i was talking to online and doesn't live that far away but he's weird and super aloof but so hot ugh i'm awful
]Wait, is that what that song is about? I thought it was just about getting dumped or breaking up.
Although the drug thing makes sense

Start listening to the funk. You'll never feel sad again!
I just did something really stupid.
On new years eve i packed up all my and my ex's photos, his letters, presents, stuffed animals, even clothes I have, and packed it all in a box and threw it in the back of the closet. I deleted his number, his email, removed him, and the homewrecker off of facebook, i said 2012 it was time to say goodbye for good.
My coworker came up to me and decides to tell me "oh i think you were right about Him and that homewrecker getting together, he just posted pictures of them on facebook"
I did all this to keep him out of sight, out of mind, and to keep me from checking his facebook.
I then went to a really dark place in my head, the jealousy surged right back into me, then proceeded to go to a friends desk, hijack her facebook, and check it.
I made it 24 days without even so much as looking, and I feel like a weakling, and an idiot for having done that.

It's okay, dude. Something like that happened to me last year. Except I didn't check their FB pages. A few people mentioned that my ex and former-best friend got together a few times when I was hurting, and it made it that much worse. Just keep your resolve from now on. A few slip-ups just means you're human.
It's not even my real picture :lol that's another user from HaloGAF, hahaha
Don't worry about it, that's pretty normal. You were hurt by him and it doesn't magically go away. I would probably have done it if I were in your situation. The thing is not to dwell on it for too long. Now that the two of you are broken up it was inevitable that you would eventually learn of him shacking up with someone else, you will just have to get used to that idea and I can assure you that ultimately it won't matter to you.
That said, I'm still curious about the people my exes date, particularly curious to see if I'm more pretty than them.
It was somewhat of a relief to see that the ex's new boyfriend is so different than me that no comparison can be made. I mean if that's the kind of guy he likes then I understand why we didn't work out as a couple

I was messaging him earlier because he said he was scared over work and I was like "Don't worry I know you can do it babe"
and he texted me back saying that he was all red and stuff...so cute!

What would you have done [or thought] if your ex was with someone prettier/more handsome/better looking/etc.?

Where do you guys work?
I'm terrible at talking to people directly about things, so I feel like I'd be the last person to just straight up say to someone "Hey, I kinda like you and you kinda like me, is this going somewhere?"
:/ So instead I'll just wonder if anything will happen.

Fast Food place...I know lame.
Anyway, I decided to read my own horoscope on a gay horoscope site: http://www.homostrology.com/love/cancer_love.php
It almost describes me perfectly, WTF!
Also my guy is a Gemini and it seems to fit him kind of...
Oh, you that kind of person...
