Dating sucks

“I think I saw the homeless guy Tarpy got his clothes from before he met Lyra. He's been on CNN almost continuously the last day or so.....”

“ha!! you're insane. :-)”

“I feel for ya, man. Relationships are complicated, of course. So why start out a relationship with so much complication? The beginning of a relationship with someone should be easy and wonderful - not an awful experience. Ditch the girl. Maybe she will wake up and be stern with her bro... Good luck!”

“Smokygirl is wise...listen to her...”

“Smokygirl... Appearing In A Barn Near You (about a week from now).”

“I don't know about wise, but thanks Bit!

In a barn?? Does that mean I am a horse? Or a horse's a$$?

Jesus - if I aired my love life on this thread, it would be TT fodder for days. I don't date anyway... I hang, and if the hangin's good, I stay. LOL!”

“And what exactly do you hang?”

“Honestly, you came up with a much better explanation for why Simer's relationship won't work than I ever could. Woman's point of view, no doubt.”

“LOL! HPM, I hang my hat if I stay.

Bit, could be what I am eating right now...
:D”

“So what you're saying is that i'm too stupid for this relationship?? First of all, i wish i would have never said anything about money, because obviously, that's not why im in this relationship, I love her more than anything (maybe i'm too young and stupid to know what love is, but at this point i could really care less) and I'm not about to leave her. Maybe i should pay more attention to the wise elders (by elders i only mean people older than me, with more experience) of this board and save myself a lot of heartache and drama, but I'm too stubborn for that. and bit, if you've already said everything that needs to be said, why'd u come back with another answer? lol... i don't want to argue, everybody here has always been quite helpful through everything in life, and I thank you all for your input on the situation. I'm not going to stand up to him and fight him or anything, he wouldn't hire anybody he'd just kick my ass himself. Yeah, it's hard and i'm tired of his bull#&%!$, but i'm willing to stick it through and take whatever comes and if in the end things don't work out, then that's the way things happen. but I believe that if we can make it through this, we'll be able to make it through anything in life... even if something in our future is worse than our current situation.

So all I'm saying is, that I'm going to stick with her until the end, no matter what, so all the talk about me leaving her should cease. Yeah, my previous post was to vent, I wasn't exactly expecting any advice, maybe a comment or two, hence my follow up post. From this point on, if anybody is going to offer advice, I'd like you to realize that she means the world to me, and advice could be centered on how we can handle the situation together, i'll stick it out with her, and believe me it's hard on her, probably harder on her than it is on me because she's torn between her brother and her boyfriend, and she loves us both very much.

Thank you for your comments, and i'm sorry if i offended anyone, or if i'm too stupid and stubborn to understand what you're trying to tell me. I'll keep my head up, there will be times that I need to vent, and do so on here offer advice if you'd like, and i'll keep pushing my way through life. Thank you.”

“OK, I won't waste anymore time on you. Good luck, you need it.

Well, that and some sense.”

“lmao, thanks for the luck, and i realize i'll probably need it, as for sense, who needs that. My problem is that i'm just a poor lovesick college student, love will do strange things to you sometimes...”

“Whatever man... you summed it up pretty good on your own. All I know from experience is that you can't just follow your friggin' heart like a blind man. You wanna loose sense - you do just that. Sounds like you will. You gotta use your head too in relationships. When you fall in love, its like a dream and reality is skewed. Don't friggin tell me I don't know what the fug I am talking about. Strong emotions can lead you astray - you got to balance it out. It ain't fairyland and friggin willy wonka - and it's us against the world crap. It's probably best you figger it out on your own and not listen to us old folk try to help some "poor lovesick college student" out. My question is... why do people use the term "lovesick."

Going back to lurking - c ya!”

“thanks for your advice and words of wisdom, I know i've lost my mind, and I know that i should heed your warnings... i just can't seem to do it. I guess i'm ready to learn what the world has to teach me, and i'm going to learn the hard way.”

“Some wise people (Birch and Sass) once told me that it takes more than love to make a relationship.”

“and they've got a great relationship!!!”

“I'm confused by some typo's,, so who are the players and sexes here???

'And they call it puppy love....' Can we in any shape or form call this your 1st LTR for you simer.

Two things are for certain don't dwell on what might have been should this fail and don't forget your gonads cuz you're gonna need'em the next time around. Its better to be a hapless than a hopeless romantic, in my book.”

“1st... meaningful ltr, i was with a girl on and off for 6 months, but... that was a little different, all my other 'relationships' barely lasted more than a week. that would include about.. 10 'relationships'”

“LOL, Smoky... I was just following Bit's lead and saying you could be like an Honorary Wise Guy... You Know.... One of the three? A week from now? In the barn... ?

Do I hafta draw ya a diaphragm? <sheesh>




No Simer. Thank YOU for trying to put this thing back on track. This is the Dating Sux Thread, not the Dating Fashion Thread or the Dating Goosebumps Thread, <G>”

“ohhhhhhhh! (smokygirl steps out of the shadows) I get it now, Tilt! LOL!


...stepping back into the shadows.”

“ROTFLALMAO!!!!!!!!!!”

“Tell me that wasn't a Freudian slip! Good one!”

“OK,,,6 months?? ON and OFF you say w/this one or a different one? How long w/this present one?

If you can't keep'em mentally and physically stimulate look in to getting a cat cuz that will be the only puzzy you'll ever get.

Sorry. Chicks need that, especially those young ones like the one you are dating. See its inexperienced young guys like you that chase these sufficiently developed women towards us 'experienced' older men.

Boy, you gotta mix it up alittle. Get yourself a good porn vid or four and learn ya some knew tactics. That regimental routine you are possible stuck in ain't gone cut if you wish to stay with woman.”

“I've been in a wierd situation with a woman's family before. If she cannot or will not separate the issues and tell them to "Butt Out!" your doomed, I promise. For a relationship to withstand the test of time you each HAVE to be willing to make each other the most important thing, pretty much all else excluded.

This sounds extreme but I think it's fairly true. There may be tactful and tactless ways to do it and some people may be smoother at it than others. You don't have to alienate people, you just have to stand up for each other and that's really difficult sometimes.”

“I've done research on marital relationships, also counseled some couples.

Marriage has little to do with "love" the focal point is committment to the relationship.

(Doesn't only apply to marriage, me thinks.)”

That's usually the way most of us learn - especially when dealing with women - and always when we're in love with one of them.”

“Commitment, passion, and intimacy are the three main ingredients to true love.”

“Add stubborness and just plain old fashioned "wanting too" to keep a marraige going for the long haul.”

“Just a slip?? Noooooooo... LOLOL

(I stole that one from Norm Crosby)”

“In all fairness to simer190, it might be a good idea to keep in mind how young he is. I totally don't mean that in a condescending way. The dude is living life, and one of two things are happening: 1) he's gaining life experience 2) he really did find his future wife.

Keep on, keepin' on, Simer190.”

“Ooooooh, Artex was just so sweet.”

“I've had about 3 glasses of wine in celebration. Everything I've been waiting for came together tonight. LOL! No sex is involved.”

“suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.”

“Seriously, Tilt, I know everyone will laugh and think that, but that's not the deal. I found a day job, good daycare, and the ex is most likely moving to Denver soon. Praise the Lord. I got all of that news this evening.”

“suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.

LOL”

“Congrats Newgirl. Sometimes things just start falling together. Other times, well, those are what make the former so cool.”

“I think the key phrase here is "It takes two to tango"

anyone care to dance???”

“Well... if I had any common sense left up to this point... it's all gone now, i won't argue with that.”

“How did we possible go 7 days without a post here????

What's up with newgirls love life?

What about Ewker's clothes?

What did simer do with the "situation"????


I must know!!!!”

“I have a date for New Years Eve..I hope I don't end up in here complaining!!!

LOl...”

“Whooo Hoooo! Go divinity!”

“& I have a killer outfit(wink)”

“very cool!

send pictures?”

“we need you to send a pic to Phil so he can post it on his page. We all have a pic there. Most use a pic of themselves in hiking gear. How's about you breaking the mold and posing in that "killer" outfit? LOL”

“look again.”

“uhhh...no...LOL....”

“I saw here pic, she shouldn't be ashamed to post a pic in that killer outfit. You'll get a ton of dating offers from the single guys here if you do..... LOL”

“I'd tell you what we decided to do about the situation... but... no, perhaps, you all know I Lack any common sense by now and it wouldn't matter, I'll just wait for the day when i can say one of two things, either "I told you so" or "you were right"”

“Dating is fun, you can really meet some great people out there! :)”
