Thanks! I'm so nervous!
One thing I can't understand (and it has probably been brought up a few times already) is that a lot of girls seem to like complete 🤬, or go out with guys who turn out to be 🤬, break up with them and then want to get back with said 🤬 about a week later. I really don't get it, and then it leads to the girl saying something - usually on facebook - along the lines of "all guys are the same". No you thick 🤬, perhaps the type of guys you like are complete prats, in which case is your problem.
Rant over/
Anyway, I'm single and always have been (18 years) and roll on the day when I finally find someone 👍.
I think that girls that act like that are the ones you shouldn't care about.
Most times they're just like the guys they date.
You like this girl on saturday? Only on saturday?
Bwahaha no! I could say I like her the 7 days of the week.
I'm going to ask her out (as in a relationship, I don't have an exact translation) ON saturday

Hmm, relationships...
Does anyone really believe that a person can be with another person for the rest of their lives without being bored/tired/exhausted of each other? Because that's the basis of relationships in our current society, right? Maybe it's just me who is such a huge 🤬 of a person. The last relationship I had was 6 years ago. It was my first as well as my last up to this date. It lasted for only 2 weeks until I broke it off. WTF was I doing, it was me who started it. We were both mutually attracted to one another and it was going fine. Maybe I'm just in for the chase, as they say, 'the thrill is in the pursuit'. The pursuit does indeed feel great, the flirting, the smiles, the stares. Maybe I got bored of it, maybe I was afraid she would get bored of me. Maybe, as much as I like being with another person, I like being by myself more. So many maybes, I really like that word of uncertainty. But the point of it all is, I was young and I was stupid and I hurt another person badly. I feel like 🤬 whenever I recall what had happened.
Maybe this doesn't fit so well in the relationship thread. Maybe it's the confessions thread I'm looking for.

It's just the choices that you do in that relationship, though it could be that you want more in it than you originally thought and sometimes it doesn't go that way. ( Oddly, I feel that I am not qualified to give any relationship advice because the lack of it...)

So due to my busy schedule, and me choosing to move to a town that has few or no bars/places to meet people, I decided a while back to try an online dating site a while back.
A girl found me on there, we got to know each other. I'm supposed to meet her for drinks after work tonight. She's really nice, quite good looking, we have some stuff in common, but I'm doubtful it will work out, there are a couple things about her that I guess I'm not exactly comfortable with.
One, she's a little younger than what I'm looking for. She's 24 and I'm almost 30.
Two, she's 1-2 inches taller than me.
I mentioned those two things to her and she convinced me to give it a shot, I guess we'll see how it goes. If it's too awkward I guess I'll just be honest with her.
I guess I'm a little nervous. It's been a while since I've been on the dating scene, or expressed any human emotions for that matter.

Long Distance Relationships
They take far more than give. 12 months ago I was tea-total, thanks to my own shortcomings, and the LDR, I've drunk 2 bottles of Southern Comfort this week, along with 2 bottles of the cheapest nastiest whiskey I can buy, and I'm half way through a bottle of Gin tonight.
Granted, there are other things at play, but seriously, if love is a journey, this feels like a 1600 mile journey with only 400 miles of terra firma under my feet.
I read in another topic somewhere on GTP, that it Grinds peoples gears that people seem to use "I love you" as a way of finishing a conversation, I do this all the time, but it's not because I'm lazy, it's because in the event the last communication was final for ANY reason, I want my last words to indicate my overiding feelings, not just be a reflection of the 5 minutes before hand.
Appreciate what you have.

I thought I'd share a little tidbit that's going on in my life right now. Nothing too serious.
I'm at uni, and every fresher has "parents", essentially mentors in the year above to help you ease in and are there for any questions you might have. Well it turns out that you do actually have to find someone and "propose" and "get married" to them in order to become college parents. My dilemma is that my current "parents" didn't tell me this and I've been caught dawdling. Nearly everyone else is engaged... Oops.
I'm not entirely sure how significant these marriages are either, presumably it's just a trivial thing, because it would suck if that actually affects finding a girlfriend here.

I didn't think of it that way. 💡
Too bad she turned out to be a bit of a wacko and the the date didn't go too well.

I hate long distance relationships. I used to be in one a year ago and it sucks. It was just filled with lonely days and a few phone calls here and there. Not worth it imo. I would recommend for everyone to stay away from it. I rather go to a random dating site like the one at http://www.freedatinghelper.com/reviews/malaysian-cupid/ and test my luck.

Well there is a reason to why divorce rates are really high in the U.S. People get bored in relationships and want to get that feeling of meeting someone new. Depending on age it's acceptable, like twenties or so. If you have kids, in my opinion it's time to calm it down.

Well, I would never have chosen it to be like this, but what happens... happens. For me it's almost the opposite, between phone, text, e-mails and webcams we're not really out of touch for more than a few hours... problem with that is I find it very difficult to get on with my own life in between. To be honest the effort required to keep things going is far more than a usual relationship IMHO, for less 'reward'. It wouldn't be so bad, but I'm pretty insecure, and really not that trusting!
, And going better then ever

A friendship built on sturdy foundations will always last, a friendship that was only constructed to reach newer heights... not so much... but ignore me. I am drunk old Mr Grumpy.

Indeed, however my friendship was never intended to reach a "newer height". Ironically when we met and became friends I was dating one of her best friends, which I'm still good friends with.

I am going to this girls house this weekend that i have been talking to and when it comes to asking girls out my giant 6'2" self cant find the male testicular to do it. So, I have decided to do it this weekend when I go over to her house. I get nervous thinking about it.

Dude, just do it. I've approached many situations with girls nervous as hell and I still manage to make it though. It's funny looking back at yourself noticing how foolish you were before.
