BB- Not quite, think again, honey. I have better things to do than make up screen names and "Troll" and ask guy advice. If I wanted any kind of advice, unless it was for backpacking, I'd go to my friends or family.

I agree, Zin ain't so bad. Merlot is better, but well. Dark beer is preferable (yall can tell I'm real cultured now can't ya)

I like Merlot too but it's not as good with pasta. I usually have a glass of the Zin with spaghetti or tortellini. Yum.

Ban those damn christmas names!!
get over it, guys are not perfect, neither are women.

honestly though...I think guys do know how important it is to stay in touch...I just think the guy you are talking about doesn't care enough.

I am not saying this because I think you're a troll, that's my honest opinion. Maybe he did care, but if he's gone for a longer period of time...well, he had more fun without you. If he still would care, he most likley would keep in touch. Plain and simple as that!

Anyhow, whoever candycane is, she seams to think this subject is embarrassing enough to not use her real screen name.

If this guy disappoints you now, he's going to get on your every last nerve over the course of time. Let him be. Not saying you both don't care. But if you're so sure, why question his timing. It's part of him.

I am liking candycane more the scorchbreath.

Candy brings up a good point. Isn't loving a man enough? Does he even have to like you? If a woman loves a man he should instantly turn off any feelings he has for your hot girl friends. He should call every night and send fowers to work once a month.
She doesn't have to tell him she loves him, he will understand through osmosis.

Cats are far more loyal.

You need to give up on men and get yourself a few dozen cats.

Yeah, and he should know to empty the dishwasher the same way, through osmosis! That's the ticket, osmosis.

Would you please put those few dozen cats in the dishwasher and fire that sucker on up!

This remends me of one of those men/women maxims.

Women expect men to change and they don't.

Sounds like Stormbringer is giving MamaBearGrrr the cold shoulder and she's pi$$ed off about it! LOL!

This sounds like a classic case of someone starting up a sexual relationship before the relationship is ready for it. IMHO sex is never casual. It is s serious thing and when you enter into a sexual relationship you are really opening yourself up to the person and actually giving a part of yourself away to them. This is why the more casual encounters you have the less you feel invested in the relationship.

So says Dr. Nigal. If I am mistaken in my assumption, please forgive me.










BTW- use your real name if you want real answers.

Candycane, how long have you been in this relationship with this guy? If it is a relatively short time (six months?), and he isn't hot to spend time with you, then I would say that you aren't even in the running for a serious relationship with him. Maybe you need to withdraw a bit, find another life with your friends, and carefully watch what happens. If he is not interested now, it isn't going to get a lot better later.

candycane never really gives us enough information to sufficiently assess her situation. If you want decent advice, you'll have to provide more info, candycane.

WTF is candycane?


a new troll?
and do we like her?
mapleleaf

She won't because she(he?) is a troll.

Just trying to stir the pot with some general #&%!$ing about guys.

I wouldn't have responded last night, but I had had a couple of drinks and the anti-troll filter was down.

I don't know, I've been MIA around here lately. Is she someone who changed her name for Christmas?

Apparently, it is this one particular man that doesn't understand this one particular woman because this particular situation is particularly peculiar.

If you give half of yourself like you give half of the info, then it's no wonder he doesn't understand.

It could be Lyndy, which is why I'm beginning to hate the "changing names" thing.

candycane seems a little more clueless than most of our regular female posters though.

You're correct, manuka. Maybe candycane really is a troll.

Hey Bittushy, I am not Candycane! Now I am mad at you!

The only time I have trolled is as Stella Della Donnatella or something like that.

No, Lyndy, I was answering you, not accusing you of being candycane.

Yet another instance of someone asking for advice and then getting pi$$y because they get it and it's not what they wanted to hear. That's nothing new.


Candycane, if it's early-on in the relationship and you're already not getting what you need from it then you probably never will and it's time to move on. So what if you really like this guy? Odds are pretty good you'll really like someone else if you just go looking. There are too many men in this world to stress over one guy who's not giving you the attention you want. You can find someone who will.

CC listen to Skully
Lizs basically said the same thing to me, and she was right, as is Skully.
So, if your just dating and there are no kids involved, it's easy, just move on to the next DEWD.
