I think it's mostly because you sound like you're complaining about it :lol

Honestly, in a way I am :lol

I broke with my GF last January and I didn't want anything. I wasn't seeking for anything, just fun. I hanged out with some, talked to some, but nothing serious. Now this girl appears, we talk, she's truly awesome, and I find myself liking a girl again. As soon as that happens others start popping up for no reason at all :lol

You're Puerto Rican right? And somewhat overweight? Full time student? Awesome at partying? Good reputation? Work out regularly? Man, we sound literally the exact same and I don't have girls fuckin fawning over me. What gives man, give me some tips.

 

[Miguel]

So some chick I messaged a few months back on OKC, didn't get a response. She poked around on my profile today it looks like, no return message though. Wondering if she actually read the message or just happened to come across the page. Looks like she's updated her page, maybe I'll look around again and message once more.

I don't know. Really. I am just an overall nice guy who's light-headed, never gets pissed except when he has to. Easy going and humorous. I also know of a wide range of topics so I can probably talk about anything to a certain degree. Otherwise... dude I have no idea.

Goddammit everything you say just sounds more and more like me. I think I just gotta get out and meet more people.

That probably helped. I have a core of great friends, so from there I get to meet up more people as I can go to different places, parties, etc. The more people you know the more chances will appear before you. Also, classes. I am sure I know most of the people I take classes with, so I can talk with most of them easily. I am too social for my own good to be honest :lol

 

[Shawsie64]

Why is it that ALWAYS, when you are talking with a girl, going out,etc.... about 3 more pop out of nowhere wanting to go out with you. Holy shit it never fails :lol

Yeah all come in 3's especially when you least expect it

 

[Aesius]

It's because you stop giving a fuck, and you stop "trying" to hook up with them. It's counter-intuitive, but true. When I was with my ex I had the easiest lay of all time fall on my lap. Hot girl starts chatting me up at the bar, begs me to come home with her, tells me how much fun we'll have, etc. Couldn't do it because I had a g/f.

Now it's like pulling teeth trying to find a girl at a bar. Shit ain't fair, I tell ya.

I'm trying to find out what the hell to do for New Years. Most people I know are doing small things with their families and relatives. One girl (wifey girl) invited me to go to a concert with her. She said it would most likely just be the two of us, though on of her friends MIGHT come too (who she claims I will like more than her). Still gotta iron out the details. It's a bunch of metal bands and shit like that I'm not into at all, but it beats staying at home and doing nothing.

 

[SpectreFire]

So who here are going solo for the holidays?

 

[-PXG-]

So who here are going solo for the holidays?

Well like I said, I'm trying to figure that out, but overall, I guess I'm riding solo this year. My ex could have waited AFTER the holidays, or you know, tried to work shit out with me and not hide what was going on. Fuck. To rub more salt in my wounds, she's already replaced me. I'm not even going into that. The whole thing is just laughable and cracks me the hell up.

It's not so much that she got rid of me for someone else, it's that I'm alone and have no one to call my own. I could give a fuck what she does or what she says at this point. But it just sucks so much ass not having someone special. Sure, I have friends and family, but nothing beats having that one special person to spend time with, especially during this time of year. It seems like everyone I know is spending time with their girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives, partners and significant others. I feel so left out man....

This is the first holiday season, in a long time, where I haven't had a girlfriend of some kind. Old, depressing feelings are starting to set in. But I'm fighting back and doing my best to thwart them. Video games, various art projects, new girls and booze will help me cope :lol

Dude I know exactly how you feel. Just hang in there, it's only the holidays. You will find someone else.

 

[SpectreFire]

The holidays are probably just the worst time to be single. Really makes you wish for that something you don't have.

 

[-PXG-]

Yeah I know. Thanks. But the current situation is still unpleasant.

I have a whole bunch of girls I'm seeing and talking to right now. It's a real confidence booster and in some ways, makes me feel like a player. But I kind of want to cut through the bullshit and choose a girl to be with me. I know you can't rush it...but damn. I just wish I had a girl, who I can call on Christmas morning, tell her I love her and hope she has a good day. I wish I had a girl to spend time with on my birthday, which is only two days after, as well as someone to kiss and make love to at the stroke of midnight on New Years. I had all of that, and now I don't.

This fucking sucks.

I could get a new computer, a Cintiq and shit load of cash and still not be happy. As dopey and utterly pathetic as it sounds, all I want this year is a new girlfriend. It's great talking to new girls and going out on dates, the whole one nighter/ player lifestyle isn't for me. I like being in a relationship. I love having a girlfriend. I love being in love.

Spoiler

I sound stupid don't I

I don't want to make it seem I live viariously through others, but I'm not the same when I don't have someone to care for.

Life's always much more special when you have someone to share it with. As cliche as it sounds, it's perfectly true. All the little stories in your life becomes more significant when you've got someone to come home and tell them to.

All of my friends give me shit for expressing the sentiments and feelings I have. I mean, it's odd for a 21 year old to think this way, right?. Even may dad, at times tells me "Boy, don't worry about settling down so fast. Go out there and fuck the world." I'm not looking for wife at me age. I mean, if it happens, it happens. I just want someone special to spend my life with right now. I don't get that same feeling going from girl to girl, doing this for a night or two. It's not the same.

Nah man, that isn't stupid at all. After a couple years living the one night stand lifestyle I started feeling kinda empty, like I never had a real connection with anyone. That's why I've been trying to get more serious with girls but, unfortunately, the girls I've had feelings for are not into the relationship thing

 

[DualShadow]

I know how you feel PXG, this will be my first xmas/new years as a single guy in over 6 years. (All with the same girl).

On the plus side it saved me a good bit of money on presents :lol

On the negative pretty much everything you said.

 

[-PXG-]

I've done my best to keep my mind off it. Kicking ass in Super today worked wonders :lol I'm friends with NinajHeartless IRL. We're hanging out and playing SSFIV and all sorts of other games, all fucking day tomorrow. So that will definitely help too.

Wait a sec, you're 21? My age? And within range of the NYC Metro area? Ha! Shit, why don't you send a few girls my way to JC. Hell knows I could use every edge I can get.

Right, anyway, no, it's perfectly normal to express sentiment and feeling. 'Course it's also nice to be able to know how to not oppress everyone with it, but that's in the details, but having them? Yeah, everyone has them, and not being insecure about your sentiments and feelings is very important. I'm not insecure about mine, and I'll express them gladly as long as I don't think anyone else would be oppressed by it, but other people are, so it's difficult to mention it.

You live in JC? I'm going to be up on Friday :lol Do you know ProjectJustice at all? He lives up there. He posts more on SKR than he does here. I've been meaning to go up there and play Super with him and his crew for some time.

And hey man, maybe we can help each other. Can't give without receiving a little right

3rd and final date was today.

Once again, had a good time. Three days in a row, all very good times? I enjoyed it.

I wonder if I'll ever see her again? Either way, great way to end the year.

What kind of question is this?

Get her:
a vibrator
a monkey
a laptop
a glass of water
a pencil case
a penis case

We have no idea who she is or what she likes. May as well ask a homeless guy on a street corner. We know as much about her as he will.

It's got to be more then that. I haven't given a fuck most of my life and even now I'm not actively trying to hook up with them. Nothing.

Edit: I could just be very, very oblivious to all of it though.

The holidays seem like the best time to be single. No gifting, no in-laws or other side of the family to make things too busy, you have plenty of other things to fill your time, and you could always hook up with women at Christmas parties.

So some chick I messaged a few months back on OKC, didn't get a response. She poked around on my profile today it looks like, no return message though. Wondering if she actually read the message or just happened to come across the page. Looks like she's updated her page, maybe I'll look around again and message once more.

Don't message again. In fact, I'd recommend turning off the view history (Browse Anonymously). I assume most people have that turned on anyway, so who shows up on your history isn't indicative of who actually viewed your page.

I've got two days to buy my girlfriend a Christmas gift.

Probably just a box of chocolates or some shit. Christmas doesn't exist over here so it's going to be small scale. My current plan is to buy her a small gift (chocolates, perfume,etc) + go ice skating or to a hot spring + eat a good meal + fuck her either my legs fall off or until the 27th. It sounds like a good plan to me.

No Im serious!

I've found that length of hair has a direct positive correlation with amount of pussy acquired.

I had short hair over the past year due to job hunting, and my sex life was as dry as the saharan desert. As soon as my hair regained mullet status, it started raining like california.


2 years ago, when I was getting laid daily, I had hair that almost reached my ass.

Now I look like a professional stud

 

[-ImaginaryInsider]

She's a fun person to be around, very easygoing, non-judgmental... loves to read, interesting conversationalist, has her head on straight even if her family is pretty nutso (which, considering how often I date the crazies, is a big positive).

Having previously been in a relationship for a year and half with a cool girl with a crazy family...be careful. If she's not taking the initiative in a lot of areas of her life, more than likely her family will drag her back into their craziness over and over again, and that will effect you.

So we've probably gone over this conversation about a thousand times, but if you guys can help me out with a play by play.

I'm at a coffee shop and there's a cute girl on her lap top sitting on the other side of the room. How do you approach her without looking like a creep? What would you use to start the conversation (please, no sarcastic "Hi" answers), and at what point would you feel comfortable asking for her number? It doesn't have to be a coffee shop, any scenario will work as long as it's hitting the same points.

I just have no idea how to do any of this. I'm awful at picking up signs that women are interested (I've literally had some spell it out to me and I just laughed and said "good joke") because I'm worried I'll interpret general kindness for something else. I'm also worried to show interest because for some crazy reason I think it can be pretty creepy. This makes that first step the hardest for me. I have no problem talking to women under normal situations (unfortunately I talk to them the same way I talk to dudes, so it never leads anywhere), but the introduction is really big road block for me.
