:lol It'd probably kill mine too or I'd shrug it off and keep on truckin'. Guess it depends on the situation haha.Max@GC said:That´s a lot of cool advice...but...I´m still pretty inexperienced regarding sex hence I get discouraged pretty quickly if a girl says something like "wtf are you doing there"...the last time it killed my boner almost instantly...and yeah that was pretty embarrassing. So how do you deal with discouragement? More experience?

At the end of the night I wasn't feeling like a full on kiss was a good move at this point so I kissed her really uh....firm(?) on the cheek trying to show it was more of a friendly peck on the cheek. She had a pretty big smile on her face when I did it. I figure I played it cool, like I got my point across and if she's interested she'll have to show some kind of sign. Kinda feeling like I fucked up but not at the same time. What the fuck.

I have two friends who keep telling me they are going to hook me up with coworkers, and then nothing ever comes of it. Getting frustrated.

Don't wait for your friends to hook you up. Go out and meet women on your own. You'll die a virgin waiting for someone to hand deliver you some pussy.Aesius said:I'm so envious of you fuckers. I can't find single women anywhere.

Fuck breaks.
Breaks are bullshit.
Theyre generally a cowardly way to say Ive already decided Im done with you, but Im planning out how to dump you without the emotional guilt that comes with it, but this is better than just walking away from what we have, I swear to god.... Its pathetic.
While its healthy to have time to yourself, when you are in a relationship with someone for a long period of time, you dont need a break for them to understand that you need some time for self-improvement. It seriously doesnt make any fucking sense to take time APART to fix something TOGETHER. Logically thats just dumb, yet, some people, honest to god, believe this shit, but Im not a fan of anecdotes. If a partner took a break from their relationship to spend time apart, its not a safe bet to say oh, theyll be back together again just because Joe Plumber got back with his girlfriend or Mary Longsocks got back with her man afterward.
My relationship has gone to shit, and I want to fix things and get things back on track, and I know that spending time alone does not help that cause whatsoever. Its like your significant other deciding that watching TV is going to help fix a flat tire on the car the two of you drive to go places. Relationship-wise, it benefits no-one. If the goal is to get back together with somebody, spending time alone doesnt help you get there, since by definition, you are spending time ALONE. Relationships are a two way street. If you want to work things out with your partner, meet them half-way. Youre not going out with yourself. If that was the case, this break would lead you to have a healthy relationship for life with yourself, since you spend a lot of time alone.
My interpretation of a break is simple. Its not about spending time with yourself and working on yourself. You can always do that even without taking a break. Its not spending time alone and allowing the other person to miss you. That never happens. Usually what DOES happen is that they flood that space you occupied in their life with friends and other things to get their mind off of YOU. Now that you are out of the picture indefinitely or however long this break will be, if you keep spending time alone, your partner is going to turn into somebody you barely recognize. Its all in the process of learning to be single again since you are no longer a part of their life anymore.
People take breaks and think that yeah, well be right back to how we were, as if you take time apart and the further you are, it will snap you back together again. Thats called rubberbanding. That bullshit never really happens. As quoted from a post, "When someone wants to take a break, theyve already made up her mind and wants out. Theres nothing you can do at this point. Its their way of letting you down easy and feeling less guilty about leaving you. Its all about them and making themselves feel better about the situation." Thats exactly what a break is to me. Its not about taking time apart to be together again. In a perfect world, that's the most likely scenario, but keeping things realistic, its all about mentally preparing yourself to become single, to get into that mindset of a single person, so that when you are comfortable enough in that frame of mind, it becomes ridiculously easy to drop your relationship like a bad habit since your emotions are no longer invested into that person, and since you wanted to spend time apart, the goal was never to work on trying to get back together in the first place.
Again, fuck breaks.

Yes. The last woman I added to my msn list before deciding to quit the whole online dating business. Actually scheduled a date with her a couple of weeks ago, but I blew her off because I met someone in my daily life. Told her what happened and that I didn't want to string her along on the side. Anywho, we all know how that went. So I casually contacted her a week after I got shot down by that girl. We started chatting again, a bit at first and eventually a whole lot. Scheduled a date with her last Wednesday and it hardly could have gone better.Aesius said:Where did you meet her? Dating website?

Aesius said:That's awesome man. What dating website do you use?
Also, apparently I am really horrible at picking up on flirting. There's this really cute 18 year old at work (probably a bit too young for me), and she kept intentionally calling me by the wrong name yesterday, and she'd go completely out of her way to find me to ask questions.
I didn't really think much of it until one of my co-workers asked if we'd boned yet, because "she's flirting with you hardcore, man."
Problem is, she's got a boyfriend, and she's 18 (I just turned 24). That's almost creepy status.
NinajHeartless said:Ok GAF
Here is my problem.
(BLOB OF TEXT)
I have been dating this girl for a little over a year and a half. I love (almost) everything about her. We are so similar in manners of speech, senses of humor, it is all good (mostly). However, recently I have been fearing something about our relationship. After looking through the OP I saw that there are some red flags I should have spotted initially and it worries me to the bone that I am in for a sad life.
She's very good to me but almost everything about her is stressful (her parents divorced, her father was abusive, her mother is a lazy "artist" who lives off the alimony and spends it all on herself, she is allergic to too many things to list here, she is a borderline hemophiliac, she's been sick for the past 4 months...). I have been having trouble doing
anything else because I feel the need to take care of her.
Also this girl...is the first person I have ever had sex with and living in a society where men are expected to "fuck mad bitches" it makes me feel...I suppose...inadequate that she is my only...and she intends on it staying that way. She's also incredibly jealous, I can't have a single female friend without getting somewhat dirty looks from her about it.
Oh and one last thing, I have been having trouble finding her attractive lately. We still have sex but I fear it is mostly because she is the only woman to ever give me a chance and I feel that she is good enough.
But then again, I adore her personality and it pains me to think of losing her but I am so confused.
I just don't know what to do. Is the situation I am in normal? I am in horrible danger?
Ouendaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!! (GAF Help!)
WyndhamPrice said:Especially since it's your first relationship I'm getting a bail-out vibe from this. She sounds borderline codependent, and that's not healthy at all.
How old are you? You sound like you're maybe 17 or 18 (just from the fact that this is your only relationship at a year and a half in), it might be time to detach yourself especially if you'll be going away to college and stuff.
I'm speaking a bit from experience here, I wound up dating the same girl for 5 years through high school and the beginning of college and she exhibited a lot of similar traits to the one above, but not as extreme with the jealousy and things. It went on longer than it probably should've.
NinajHeartless said:I am 20, we started when we were 18 and she has followed me to college (girl's a genius, got a great scholarship, no one was willing to pay for her schooling).
She is totally dependent on me, she has said as much and has expressed interest in marriage. The thing is, I don't think any of that would be that bad, but I keep thinking of other women and other possibilities. We get a single life right? I can't deny that I think I would have regrets if I stuck with her.
But I fear for her and myself. I don't know if I could ever find someone so in tune with my thinking as she is and I fear what she would do to herself
Thanks for the response though, I am still terrified and confused.
Edit: The thing is I do...enjoy taking care of her; at least I did initially. But at the same time I get feelings of being held back... why can't life be simple dammit!
Maybe I just can't tell the difference between needing and wanting...sigh

WyndhamPrice said:I went through the same thing as you, except we went to different colleges. She eventually was all about staying together forever and marriage and stuff and I was always resistant to that idea being so young.
Ironically, the breakup came from her meeting some new people and getting some perspective, I don't feel like you'll be so lucky. You are being held back, and as much as you think you like being with her and catering to her admittedly kind of sucky problems, it's not fair to you. Your lack of experience with other people and relationships means you probably don't actually know what you want, since you don't know anything else. After a while this will just turn into unneeded obligation and then frustration and anger.
Am I telling you to break up with her? Yeah, but that's up to you. You are young (and I am not really much older than you are). It will suck at first, especially if you feel like you may see her afterwards, but you may come to realize it was one of the most freeing decisions of your life so far.
jon bones said:update - the best rejection ever
Headed to the bar to meet up with Tiny Asian Girl. No traffic + TAG texts me she's 15 minutes late = I got 30 minutes to kill. No problem, there's a birthday party going on at the bar so I start talking to a nearby dude who is clearly with the crowd. With him, it's easy to approach the group and chat it up with all the women they came with. I chat up this cute little british Indian chick (BIC) for a while and then TAG comes in - obviously sees me chatting up these girls - so I say goodbye to BIC and sit down with TAG.
We talk for a while and eventually I go in for the kiss and I get a, "i take things real slow" (possibly true for asian women? this is my first experience with them) but she wanted to get another drink. She heads to the bathroom, I walk up to BIC and get her number, sit back down, check my phone and Phillip Rivers scored like a billion points against me in FF. Ok, you win some you lose some. TAC says, "let's get a drink elsewhere!" I politely decline and cab it back home.
At home my ex hits me up and says her boyfriend is out of town and she wants me to come over. So I walk ten blocks and bang it out with a fresh new prospect's number in my pocket.
Moral of the story? When god closes a door, he opens a dress.
Solideliquid said:I think we need more good examples of how to do this. Most of us have no problem chatting up a girl (using the environment, recent/current events, etc) but how do you get to the point or how do you know it's safe to ask for the number.
Is this acceptable, for example "Let's get together sometime, I can give you a call and we can figure out a date." I think it shouldn't be a question.
NinajHeartless said:Thanks for the advice
Another fear I have is that she is about the only friend I have. I have extreme social anxiety problems ...oh and I am a non-partying college student. I fear that without her I am a pariah, I'll have no one to go to at all. I was alone for so long...oh and one detail I guess I left out...she kinda was with me as I watched my mother die over the course of one weekend from cancer. And this was about a month after we started dating.... She's helped me through a bunch and I just don't know how to let go.
I really appreciate the advice though! I just don't know if I am masculine enough to actually go through with a break up (though the fears of what happen to me if I don't haunt me as well).
I am thinking that maybe I am just being lustful and maybe this is just a self control issue. I mean, she isn't the best looking thing in the world (overweight, flat chested, hairy) and being around all the sporty girls at college is fucking with my head. I've been trying to get her to work out (we both need something, I need muscles/weight she needs to lose some weight) but she has been delaying it...though it is mainly because of her illness...
Oh and for one last time thanks for the advice! This is gonna be a tough decision to make...
