blame space must drive you crazy.

what are you on about love

Holy shit dude, go masturbate ffs.

Sigh, whatever, I don't actually care. I was just explaining my honest thoughts on the matter. I'm really not trying to be harsh or authoritative or claiming the end of the world or anything like that, I just couldn't be fucked writing essay so I kept my sentences blunt. Too blunt I'm taking it. My intentions were for it just to be friendly advise (masked in a mildly sarcastic tone).

But enough of that, I don't really care enough to continue on this derailing tangent.

Edit 2: Ignore that. I'll admit I was a dick about that.

Edit: Oh, just figured out what Devolution meant by "blame space". I don't notice because I just gloss over his posts and move on every time I see his avatar.

Here's a funny story to lift all your spirits.

I had asked a girl out about a month and a half ago and she had said no; both of us being fairly drunk is somewhat relevant here.

2 days ago when we're both at a party she's like "Hey, did you ask me out before?" And then she continues on to ask me if I was serious. Awesome...

Anyway, she had already been going out with some other guy for about a month at this point, and I had pretty much forgotten about it. Another thing is that she had made some 'rule' where she wouldn't date guys from PAX (which is how I know her). So this brings us to the last part of this conversation at the party with her saying something along the lines of "Oh, you're very sweet and if I was dating guys from PAX you would be at the top of the list."

Holy balls, girls, do not say things like this in these situations. I get that it was supposed to be a line for 'letting me down easy' but it comes across more like "Oh yay, I'm at the top of a completely irrelevant list". I can take a 'no', please just stick with that.

There's also the fact that the line is, of course, bs. A girl is not going to turn down someone she actually wants to date just because of where she knows him from. I am not on any list.

So perhaps some ladies can comment on the utility of 'easy let down' statements like that? Is it actually necessary in some situations so that the guy doesn't go nuts or something? I feel like it just leads to some run-around lie instead of just accepting that, hey, this girl is not into you, deal with it.

 

[SmokyDave]

"Oh, you're very sweet and if I was dating guys from PAX you would be at the top of the list."

You should have said "And if I was interested in dating women with bizarre and arbitrary rules for dating then you'd be... on the list".

Then give her a quirky smile that suggests you have no fucking idea why she just told you that. Walk away and wait for her to try and get the last word in. From there, you're well away.

[Devolution]

Did she actually explain why she wouldn't go for someone she met at PAX? "You'd be at the top of the list if I did." I don't get this bullshit. You either like someone enough to date or fuck them or you don't. This is where I just break with people who play games.

Well that's why I was saying this list doesn't actually exist. When I actually did ask her I was 90% sure she had no interest at all but I figured I might as well find out for sure cuz why not and now I'm 100% sure.

Oh and the reasoning for it was something to do with 'drama'. I don't know what that was about. She was actually going out with somebody from PAX before but I'm sure they broke up because it was long distance (canadian and american). I am completely unaware of any so-called drama caused by PAX relationships.

But, she was and still is a good friend, I just wish people would be straight when asked out. It's this kind of thing that leads to people getting confused about the other person's intentions and feelings.

I need some advice on something incredibly petty with my girlfriend (who happens to be my first).

We've been going out for a little over two months but it feels like I've known her forever. She's absolutely perfect but there's one thing that really is nagging at me, and I want that nagging to stop because I know it's irrational and stupid on my part to feel any negativity toward this flawless human.

Basically, I don't drink or do drugs, ever, and never will, and she's totally okay with this. With that said, she still has nights where she'll go out to bars or clubs with her friends to drink and the like. I'm positive I should be okay with this, but I can't turn off my stupid brain and this sinking feeling it gives me in my chest knowing she's out doing that stuff.

I'm not sure if it's jealousy, or fear, or anxiety, but it's something, and even though I'm trying incredibly hard to put it past me I'm finding it exceedingly difficult.

The last thing I want to be is the controlling douche bag boyfriend, and going against my emotions I always tell her to enjoy herself and that I'll never judge her.

I just want to do the correct thing in this situation, but this feeling won't subside... so I'm not sure what to do.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated Ladygaf.

Get over it. Seriously. I used to be in the same situation. Learn to trust your girlfriend and get over it. You are in the wrong. You are not justified. People drinking aren't doing anything wrong. Don't make them feel like they are. I didn't drink for my entire previous relationship. If I ever got mad at my gf for going out I ALWAYS apologized. Because I was wrong. If you don't trust her for some other reason, then fine, but going out should not be one of them.

 

[SRG01]

I agree with Londa and cloud. As soon as you make eye contact with many guys, they mistake it for a chance. The only time I actually make eye contact with people I don't know is in workplaces, either at my own job (smile and say hi to people I don't know but work with) or at their job (ordering food, buying something, etc). But I live in a city where most people drive everywhere, so I'm sure that's not the case for other places.

I guess I understand where you're coming from, but eye contact is so low on the list of cues that I'm not even aware of it most of the time.

Pupil dilation, yes. Eye contact, no.

 

[TurboLibre]

Pupil dilation, yes. Eye contact, no.

What cues should I look out for? I feel like girls do their best to hide their attraction, which just leaves me thinking they're not interested at all.

And while I do agree that eye contact isn't an important indicator, I was asking because avoiding eye contact always struck me as a pretty big negative indicator. Guess it's not, but I can't help but feel a little put off when it happens so often.

She's so good in every regard and I do trust her; she seems like the most loyal person on the planet.

With that said, if they drink too much then you should as a caring boyfriend intervene and try to help her out.
Same thing with drugs, where any drug use might be too much really.

It seems like he's trying to get over it, but can't help feeling anxious. I know I felt a little uncomfortable when I found out my bf was at a stoner party. I really hate drugs. You can't stop her from going out, but if you go with her you can see why she enjoys it. You don't have to drink - you could go as the designated driver. Make it something you both enjoy. Then you can subtly watch over her to make sure she's not going over her limit, and at the same time you aren't feeling left out - which might be what the feeling is. And you know what, if it makes you uncomfortable its okay to tell her. I'd play down how worried you are, but if it was me I wouldn't want to make my partner uncomfortable (then again, we've been together for a lot longer than 2 months, so maybe the honesty thing might not work out as well for you).

What is it that you're worried about, exactly? It's hard to stop the gut reactions we don't fully understand.

In any case, if she's the trustworthy amazing person you say she is, then maybe it's time to take a leap of faith and trust her judgement. After all, she's with you.

eye contact or lack there of doesn't seem to mean much of anything tbh. When a girl starts staring at you then you can probably consider it a sign of interest........ even though she can just be zoned out though and you're just in her line of sight.

Why does this girl with a boyfriend like to get off sexting me and telling me she likes me? She had a crush on me before her new boyfriend and I dissapeard for a year. She told me she missed me but wont leave him cause she says shes faithful. Why do women do this? I have an idea but would be great to hear the opinion of a girl gaffer.

She's scared to leave her committed relationship. The reason would be pure conjecture on my part. But talking with you is giving her something (attention, excitement, etc) she's not currently getting in her relationship, hence her need to flirt with you instead of her boyfriend.

 

[daffy]

Come into relationship advice thread, ask about individual sexual experiences. Makes sense.

I do think being left out is a big part of it. Yesterday we were with her friends and they were blatantly inviting her out right in front of me, like I wasn't even there. The other thing is, I don't actually want to go out to bars/clubs, since I'm basically an alien in those environments. The whole situation is contradictory and I do think the best course of action is to just not make a big deal out of it. I've personally seen the effects of a controlling douche bag boyfriend and I never want to be that guy.

Basically sounds like a trust issue. I know you said that you completely trust her and all of that, but at only 2 months or so that you've been going out, you're probably not at the point of fully trusting her in all situations. Like one person said, you could go once to put your mind at ease as to see what is happening. After you see what she does and how she acts and that you can trust her there, on the nights that she goes out to clubs or bars or whatever, have something planned to do. Don't just sit home without much to do because your mind will come up with the most ass backwards situations that are happening with her. Hang out with friends/family or have a really engrossing game or movie or something that you enjoy that will make you take your mind off of her going out. I was in the same situation with my then gf, now wife, when we first started dating. You wouldn't believe the insane theories of what was happening to her that my mind could come up with if I was bored with nothing to do.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Yesterday we were with her friends and they were blatantly inviting her out right in front of me, like I wasn't even there.

So? She's still her own person, just as you are. The two of you don't automatically become a single unit (though lots of couples do).

If her friends successfully interrupt plans that the two of you made then it's time to talk with her. If you merely had hopes of how the day/evening would go, you need to start communicating them really fast.

 

[wolfmat]

It would've been polite of her friends to at least ask you if you want to tag along. That's common courtesy, even if it's a given that you would not want to. I conclude that her friends are not polite people. Which doesn't reflect well on your girlfriend. What sort of riff-raff are you dealing with?

Spoiler

She told me she missed me but wont leave him cause she says shes faithful. Why do women do this? I have an idea but would be great to hear the opinion of a girl gaffer.

First of all she is lying to you and herself when she says she is a faithful person. She is cheating with you on her boyfriend because she has told you that she has feelings for you. I'm sorry but no one with a boyfriend should be emotionally attached to anyone other than their boyfriend or they are considered a cheater.

Also, if she is sextexting you she is doing it because she would have sex with you if she wasn't with her boyfriend and its a matter of time that something between you and her will happen if you allow this to continue.

Well that is, if what she said about liking you is the truth. If she really doesn't like you, then she just wants someone to give her attention when her bf isn't around.

Why does this girl with a boyfriend like to get off sexting me and telling me she likes me?

She must not think too highly of her boyfriend to do that.

Why do women do this?

Just to be clear, all women don't do this. She is doing this. Why is she doing this? Well from your short description of her actions, she sounds young, a bit bobbled headed, a cheater and a lier. If her actions were exposed, she wouldn't be doing any of this at all. What you should ask yourself is why are you allowing her to do this with you? You have the power to cut this off. No one is "forcing you to sextext her". You can ignore her. Because it takes two to do this. From at least what I understand.

I guess the feelings are still lingering around. If she's outwardly told you she likes you I'd say things aren't looking great between her and her bf. She's either looking for a back-up if things go wrong or not feeling like she gets enough attention/ affection out of the relationship she's in now. Its not right for her to be sexting you though... If she really is faithful she'd stop. Or break up with her boyfriend. She's taken a "cake and eat it" approach instead, and its not going to last.

 

[Angry Fork]

Here's something fun to try: Walk down a street and try to make eye contact with every single other person walking by, and time how long it takes everybody else to break eye contact with you. The results can be interesting.

I'm interested in trying this just for fun to see what happens (with women, don't care about staring at guys lol) but how do you judge the results. Like someone else here said a girl may think you're attractive but if they're not used to being 'stared' at then they can think it's off putting/awkward.

I guess the only real verdict you can make is that if you stare at a girl and she keeps staring at you then she's interested.

Spoiler

Or I turn around and realize there's a way better looking guy behind me and she's actually staring at him. Makes me cringe just thinking about it lol

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Thanks for all the replies but after seeing her again I've fully concluded I'm just being a neurotic idiot.

I used to be ultra anti-drugs/alcohol and I think that left lingering scars on my personality that I need to work on.

 

[Otrebor Nightmarecoat]

Thanks for the great answers Londa, Devolution and shanshan310. A little more backstory: She says she can just be herself with me since im so open minded and can talk to her about anything without holding back. Also im brutally honest and tell her all the time shes beatiful and sexy. She likes the attention and tells me I know how to make a woman feel wanted. Truth is I too have feelings for her but have told her that when this ends Ill be allright and just continue on because I dont think anything will surpass the sexting. I think shes comfortable with this because its not physical, and you gals/guys are right, its denial and emotional cheating. I would be pissed if a girlfriend of mine do this behind my back but it also makes would make me think about what im doing wrong. I shouldnt do this and im an asshole but im at a low point in my life right now that reading about a hot chick thats masturbating thinking of me gets me out of bed and makes me try to better myself or at night seeing her on webcam in her underwear and smiling to me is comforting. I know thats no excuse and that i stick around because of the lingering feelings. I guess i want to be hurt again.

 

[BLagiver]

Is there any sort of fragrance spray for man that girls like because right now I don't put on anything but deodorant and lotion sometimes. I think something that smells good will add something to my attractiveness.

I know when a girl wears perfume and I hug or get close to her I go crazy and I want that same type of effect.

Yeah she needs to have a talk with her boyfriend real bad. I don't really know what to tell you, it's not your responsibility to stop your actions for the sake of her relationship. It's on her. But for your own sake I'd say don't get too emotionally attached, chances are she's sticking with the boyfriend.

Was going to ask if you're even in her physical vicinity but since you mentioned it's not physical, then yeah she's also doing it because it's safe, and it sounds like she could just cut it off without too much effort.

Does she even acknowledge problems in her own relationship, or does she only flirt with you?

 

[BladeWorker]

Okay, if you really like this girl: I suggest making an effort with these friends to get to know them - genuinely. Not in a "I want to make sure that my girlfriend will be safe with you" kind of way, which is paternalistic and silly, but instead in a "my gf thinks you're cool, so maybe I will too" sort of way.

Now, when in both your company, her friends are being rude by inviting her out to "group hangs" without at least a cursory invite for you to join them. But she does need solo time with her friends, because it will ground her and keep her sane - just as you would want a guys' night out with your friends. But man, talking about experiences that you're not a part of in front of you, and rubbing your nose in it? That's just not cool. It's meant to bait you and make you feel inferior.

That aside, take the high road: alongside your gf, invite them over to your place for coffee and board games. Out for laser tag, whatever. Get to know them in settings where you can both be comfortable (or equally uncomfortable). And don't get all up in your head that it'll be awkward - these things are only as awkward as people let them be. Go out to a bar or club with them and just relax. So it's not your scene: it's the company, not the locale, that matters most.

If after making a genuine effort - you might have to give it a few tries - you don't much care for them and they don't much care for you, back off and let the chips fall where they may. Continue taking the high road, make yourself busy while she's out with them (as someone above suggested), because otherwise you'll make yourself crazy. Don't force her to choose, because the odds are pretty good, at this juncture, that you'll lose.

If she asks what's going on, be as diplomatic as possible, but also clear: they're not your crowd, but you're happy that she has people that she likes to help her balance her social life.

If her friends try to drive a wedge between you, after you've made a genuine effort, treated your girl right (you are treating her right, I assume?), and just generally been the cool dude you are, then they've got a problem that's bigger than just you - and you have to decide whether or not to put up with the inevitable drama.

We spend the 2 years as close friends in college, going out and whatnot but no intimate stuff. She said she always liked and just told me now (3 years later) that she always has. I dont talk to her about her relationship, she just flirts really explicitly with me. Youre right, I will not get emotionally attached. Shes kind of a loner and its hard for her to find people with her interests or that could be good friends with her. Im just there to console after a bad day, not make her feel completely lonely or make her feel appreciated by someone.
