Ey guys help me.

I asked the girl if we are just friends, and she replies, yea if I want to as well.
So I went onto my Facebook to let my family know, that we don't have a relationship, and now she is slightly angry at me.

I don't understand why that is not okay, the whole family is confused and deserves an answer, if we are not gf/bfs anyway.

What should I do???

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Alright Girl-Age Gaf, I posted about my good start to the new year, but I want it to keep going so I need a few tips. I have gotten much better at talking to women, asking them out, etc. those aren't my issues. My issue is finding a woman that is actually interested in me. Prior to the chance new years meeting I really haven't had a girl interested in me for a long time.

Thing is, I live in a college town yet most of my college buddies have moved out. One of my best friends is still here, but he is married (been dating her since high school, we're all great friends) and they don't like going out much. Other than that my younger brother is in his final year here, and I've gone out with him and friends a few times, but it's just a bit odd.

Do I just wander out to coffee shops and hope someone gives me a look? How do I find someone interested when I don't meet a ton of new people?

Why does it matter to your family?

Also, don't worry about relationship status on FB.

 

[Pachimari]

It matters to my family, cause she is lying to them, she pissed off my mother, and everyone (and that's more than 10 people) wants an answer and I'm not the type who lies to my family.

This sounds needlessly complicated. Is there another post that explains the whole story?

EDIT- Nvm. Found the goods. Will read and respond.

If she's just a friend, then ignore her bitching. At this point, your family is more important than someone who is acting like an immature, manipulative bitch.

 

[Pachimari]

Actually, because she have given me her Facebook password, I am now reading a conversation between her and a Norwegian friend, that she will hide here in Denmark before her Visa ends. Shit. I took screen-caps just to be sure.

We are talking about friendship or relationship.

In fact, she ruined my relationship to my mother, the day after my fathers birthday.
My mother told me that she want to hide, so she kicked her out while shouting at her, but I defended her. Now I read these private messages of her, that she want to hide...

 

[Count Dookkake]

It's probably obvious but I need someone to tell me then.

I have been chatting with this girl for months and we celebrated Christmas, New Year and my fathers birthday together. We even went to Sweden together.

We have had sex three nights and it upsets the family, cause some of them is of the opinion that we are relatives, that's how it is in the Philippine culture but me and the girl don't agree with that statement.

Now I have access to her Facebook as well and I uploaded our New Year photos to her account. But she is also listed as engaged to another guy in the Philippines but she says it's only for fun, that she don't take facebook seriously.

She got two other facebook accounts as well and is listed as in a relationship with another guy, also from the Philippines. When we went to Sweden, she told everyone else she went back to Norway where she work. She have told me she took the airplane this morning, but to others she said the train.

I'm just really confused. Because she seem to tell the truth to me and lying to others, but I'm also thinking maybe she is lying to me about the relationships.

The whole family thinks we are in a relationship, but I'm the one who have said no to a relationship so far. In fact, my mother kicked her out from our place, as rumors are she want to get fired and hide in another country, but I think she's just kidding - or that's where I'm heading; I don't know anymore.

I really like her, but maybe I should be aware. Maybe that's cause she is my only really close one, I don't have a network besides her (other than one friend I rarely see).

Why do you need to tell your family about your sex life? This is unnecessary, particularly when your family is conservative.

Don't use other people's FB, even if they let you. It creates problems.

Don't date liars or cheaters if it upsets you.

In conclusion, this will not work out.

 

[Pachimari]

She said I'm welcome to use it, but I don't write or do any activity on her FB.
I won't tell them about my sex life on facebook, I just thought, that I would tell them we are not in a relationship because the whole family keeps asking, but she get angry if I tell them we are not in a relationship... and that I don't understand.

Edit: Now she say I am her boyfriend. I am mind fucked.

Hey, remember that part where I said "even if you they let you" and "it creates problems"?

Also, you should tell your family less. Maybe also keep a new GF away from them until you have determined whether or not the woman is crazy.

 

[Pachimari]

But my family already know her, so no need to hide anyone.
I think I'm attracted to crazy chicks.

 

[Count Dookkake]

There seems to be a language barrier.

Anyway, good luck.

Be sure to tell us how it ends.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

We have had sex three nights and it upsets the family, cause some of them is of the opinion that we are relatives

Sorry, but I was wondering what you mean with this statement. Are you saying that your family feels that you and this girl are related to each other? If that's the case, how so?

 

[Pachimari]

The Philippine part of the family say we are related, the Danish part says we are not related. And me and the girl do not feel like relatives. I don't even know what she is to me, its something far-fetched, like a mothers cousins husband daughters friend or something like that. Our family is big only because everyone become a part of the family just by knowing them.

Anyway, you guys just help each other out, I'll spent my time on myself instead of girls for now, thanks for the advices.

 

[Keyouta]

So that girl that I called (no dial tone, just answering machine) and texted on the 27th and the 29th respectively has yet to respond. The last time before this, we were texting back and forth Christmas day. Now, we keep in contact often so I am just assuming she lost her phone or is on vacation, or some other reason, but I'll give it one more week.

I'm wondering on whether to ask her best friend whether she's had any contact with her for the past few days. Is this a good idea? Or should I just wait it out?

Also, is there any significance when a girl tells you, "You know me so well."?

 

[KingK]

Gaf, is it worth pursuing a girl who lives over 2 hours away? I was at a new years party, and one of my long time friends from high school was there with her new roommate. I really liked her, but she lives about 2 and a half hours away and I'm not even sure if she's single. I'm trying to decide if I should try to explore this or just let it go.

Could be worth it but jesus 2 1/2 hour drives will kill your bank account. Try to meet halfway for a date if possible.

Surely there are women who live closer, right? Do you live in East Bumblefuck? If so, I guess you gotta put up with going long distances then.

I've never had a relationship with a girl that lives over two hours away work out.

Take that for what it's worth.

Wait it out! What do you have to gain by asking her friend?

 

[Kinitari]

So looks like I have a girlfriend now, I'm feeling pretty awesome. OKCupid did me good, got a total of 3 first dates in 6 months - and this girl in particular is amazing. Been seeing her almost a month, and we just decided to throw a label on it new years. Pretty excited to do all the relationship stuff that comes with it - as much fun as it was being chased and doing some pursuing, I really do much better as a boyfriend.

Plan on meeting her parents relatively soon, maybe this month some time - stuff like this never scares me, because I charm the fuck out of parents.

More success stories in here pls. Everyone needs to get motivated. I just finished a lunch date with eharmony girl and yea it def looks like I'm gonna have a girlfriend too

Yeah, I go to college and am just about to start a new semester, which is why I'm leaning towards just letting it go and looking for a girl at school.

The problem I keep coming back to though is that I've been looking for a girl at school for a year and a half now with no luck, and I did really like this girl I met at the party more than any girl I've met at school so far.

Still, I think my best course of action would be to just put her out of my mind so I can focus on finding someone else who is closer.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I never want to be in East Bumblefuck. Sounds... prickly.

 

[Orgen]

First of all, Happy New Year!

I was hoping to see some successful NYE stories! Didn't you go out and party like crazy GAF? ;D

Here most of the single girls go crazy on NYE, like the weddings (no joke, when I left the last club at 8:00 a.m there were more than 20 couples making out on the dance floor) For me it's not a good night to approach girls (even if they're desperate) because of all the alcohol and other things involved but it's a big party after all so I went out to 3 clubs with two friends.

Now the rant/advice for all the people who goes out at bars/clubs to try and get a girl's phone number or something more: I can't stress enough the importance of going out with good wingmans or at least with people with the same mindset. Don't go out with boring/"columns" people because they can change your mood and ruin the night for you.

I went out with two good friends but I hadn't partied with them in years. What a pair of boring dudes, my god!!! They spent the whole night holding their jackets and drinking a lot. Dancing = 0. Talking to girls = -10. I'm a confident guy and I didn't need them to get numbers but it's tiresome talking to girls, trying to make your pals speak with them and seeing that they can't make one sentence. I felt like Lebron with the Cavs... my two friends on my shoulders. And when I approached a girl (solo) they were right behind me like 2 damn black pillars. Thankfully for them I was in a good mood so when I approached girls I told them that I was a famous person and this two behind me were my bodyguards (yep, it was a better ice-breaker than "Happy New Year!")

So people, if you are going to try the club/bar "dating/meeting" scene please take care of your friends first because they can destroy your willpower (or you can destroy their faces).

Sorry for the long rant. Bring more NYE stories!

 

[The Antitype]

I think I'm developing a shoe-fetish and it's becoming a bit of a problem.

Like, I start judging women to approach based on their height. If they're over 5'5", then I know the chances of them wearing 4" spike-heels on a daily basis decreases dramatically.

On the plus side, I already prefer more petite women cause they're easier to 'toss around' (in the playful sense, not the horrible abusive sense).

Anybody know of any ways to curb developing preferences or fetishes?

You shouldn't curb anything, just embrace it. I had a foot fetish start developing around 7 years ago and I just let it come naturally. I've never regretted having it. Girls are far more accomodating than you think.

Also, it doesn't really matter how tall a girl is, you can reserve some shoes for her to wear on special occasions!

Is that you in your picture? If so, I don't understand why you're having trouble Go get them!

It is indeed me, although I do have sunglasses on in the picture of course.

I'm not rockstar enough to go around wearing sunglasses in the winter sadly.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

This sounds like a cry for help. Care to tell us more about your legit craziness?

It is just your standard psychological trauma and the internalised belief that nothing I do will be good enough. Basically: I always set myself a hurdle to jump over before I feel worthy enough to do the things I want to do, but the hurdles are never ending.

 

[Mr.City]

[Napoleonthechimp]

You misunderstand. I don't seek approval from other people, I seek it from myself. Nothing I could ever do will be good enough because I see what is wrong and try to correct it, even this mentality is an imperfection and by trying to correct it I only strengthen it.

A girl once told me that she liked me and I asked her: "why?" That was my genuine reaction.

 

[Hypereides]

But my family already know her, so no need to hide anyone.
I think I'm attracted to crazy chicks.

You know Anastacio, knowing that you live in Denmark (Copenhagen?), we need to meet some time. I need me some GAF brothers to commuicate about the confusing and fair oppesite sex. Trust me, we would have a good time. Hit me up if you going out some time in Copenhagen I will be you wingman, caddie or brother in arms.

A wise man once told me that for as great as someone can be is also as shitty as someone can be. For as smart as you can be is also as stupid as you can be. They are both parts of you.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

So GAF, my GF and I are both virgins and I think that she isn't being really subtle showing that she is interested in sharing a night with me. I was chatting with her for a few hours and she dropped some obvious hints. Here we go:
- She showed me that she keeps condoms in her drawer.
- She told me that most of her nieces are teen-age mothers/pregnant.
- She told me about a conversation she had with her dad, him telling her that she should not be as stupid as said nieces.
- Told me that all her friends have lost their virginity already.
- Mentioned that some guy randomly asked for a bj, she asked me if I'd like one too (jokingly and she wasn't asking for permission in any way, shape or form.)
- Asked me if I didn't find it weird that I'm still a virgin, since I'm two years older.

So is she just a big tease? What's the best way to approach this? How do I react?

 

[Scythian Empire]

Never thought I would post in here, but here goes nothing...

I've been seeing this girl at Uni for the last month or so. When I met her at the beginning of term, she had a boyfriend of 2 years, but she told me she was thinking about breaking up with him because she hasn't been happy for a while. So they decided to go on a break instead of splitting up completely, resulting in her being allowed to see other people. So we started seeing each other for just over a month, and things were going well. But she kept on telling me she didn't want people to know about us since it might get back to the boyfriend or something and upset him (despite her telling me countless times that she no longer likes him). So I agreed to keep it low key and between the both of us. Obviously I got a bit stressed out about it because not being able to hold hands or give a peck on the cheek to the girl you're into when around other people can be difficult haha. Anyway, she went back home to her parents for Christmas (the town where her boyfriend lives also) and she told me she was meeting up with him to end it completely. However they ended up making out instead (still a bit skeptical that something more happened). Obviously I was a bit like "what the fuck?" but she tells me I had no right to be upset since we weren't officially anything and that she hadn't been stringing me along at all.

Do I have any right to be a bit pissed off about this? Or am I just being a bit dramatic? Not really sure whether I should pursue with someone who lies either (she told me nothing happened when the bf came round over christmas but when I pressed her about it, she confessed).

Just whip it out man.

 

[threenote]

Mr City's obsession with combine is a little weird. Lead a horse to water and all that... if combine doesn't want to drink, let him be. You can't force people to work on themselves ...they have to be willing to do it.

MrGameAndWatch, go for it. If the ex and friends can't be adults about things, maybe it's time for new friends anyway.

Mr. City and Combine are the same person.

 

[Zekes!]

I wanna get an opinion on this:

Basically, one of my coworkers said she wanted to set me up with a friend of hers, who I'm apparently "her perfect type". Unfortunately, she lives over in Vancouver (I live across the water), so I kind of dismissed the idea. Anyways, turns out I saw her today when I went in to say hi to my coworkers, and she was this extremely cute little blonde girl. I didn't realize it was her, but I had to keep stealing glances.

My coworker hasn't really said anything to me regarding her for a while; before she was saying how excited she was to set us up and yadda, yadda. I don't want to seem like a bother or a creep, but should I ask my coworker about her friend being interested in me? Or should I just leave it alone and forget about it/let them come to me?

 

[jvalioli]

Showing you a drawer full of condoms is pretty subtle.

Sounds pretty obvious. Whip out your baconsaurus when the opportunity shows... be flirty with her and warm her up before you. She has fantasies but she seems slitghty shy about being forward, you need to take the lead on this... be certain before you do (just to make sure shes not a cocktease or considers you to be a "gay" friend).

 

[Mr.City]

Mr. City and Combine are the same person.

If I were going to troll, I would at least make it more exciting. Like having Combine move into a flat with a lesbian roommate whose gf is actually attracted to him, but Combine's too busy playing Skyrim to notice.

Ok, that made me laugh. She is rather shy, so great analysis. I'll make a move soon, wish me luck!

 

[SRG01]

This is absolutely not a brag post, because this is a serious problem:

Because of talking to multiple women online and in person at the same time, I have somehow piqued the interest of three women. The problem isn't the three women, but rather that I've been in a series of poor relationships/dating experiences and would like to have a more effective filter. Lately I've been on dates that ended with me thinking it was a waste of time so I'd like avoid that as much as possible.

I think a part of it, contrary to the advice on this thread, is that I've been going on the first date too soon without really knowing the girl. Would that line of reasoning make sense?

(Also, one girl is pushing me towards texts after two or three messages, which is making me kind of uncomfortable...)

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Posted this in the wrong thread originally >_<...

Does GAF have a meetup blind date thing or whatever to see who is in your city? Wondering if there are fellow Girl GAFs in Gainesville, FL since this is college town.

Looking forward to new semester of grad school as well since it might = getting to know more new girls. I say this after having an awesomely hot on, off, on again, off again rebound (she was rebounding but I didn't know) relationship. No sex but hours of biting, scratching, and making out make me miss good ole' affection, even if there's no sex involved (though it'd be nice).

Sorry for the long rant. Bring more NYE stories!

Well, FINE.

My life made a full turnaround this NYE. Detailed somewhere in this thread is a failed four year relationship. Had moved out to an area to marry a girl, she ended things, left in the area with THREE friends.

Over the past year, made friends with friends of these friends, made my own friends. Reconnected with old friends. Biked, went running, went kayaking, played kickball (...and broke my foot). Traveled to see friends on either coast. Went to parties and outings with my new and reconnected friends.

New Years came around. Friends and people I had worked with but had not seen in years attended a NYE party put on by a friend. Attended all by my lonesome, but without the intent of meeting any one. Just to see friends and try to enjoy myself. An old friend/former co-worker happened to be there. We spoke during the party, moved on to another party with her friends. Flirted over board games. Spent the night together. And we parted with a kiss and she flew out of my life and 600 miles away. Nothing may work out, but we're going to spend our phone conversations catching up on the past several years. And from there maybe some fun visits.

Last sentence is key. May be preaching to choir here but long distance is wrong distance. You have friends here on Gaf!

Oh I know the folly well. But getting to know someone with the occasional visit? Might be fantastic. More so if I end up moving as I have planned for grad school.
