The Big Relationship Thread

That sounds like a bad thought to start having. Trust what she's saying, and if she's saying it to discourage people, surely you're part of the people she's trying to discourage or she would let you know about it.

Oddly enough he looks slightly better as a ginger.

Almost everyone looks better as a ginger. The amount of anti-ginger sentiment is the biggest mystery of all times.

Jealousy. Can't say I blame them.

[Bebop Man]

I bet Christina Hendricks fuels a lot of anti-ginger sentiment as well.

[viscomica]

Hmm, usually I think people look quite nicely with their natural hair colors. But sometimes there are exceptions, like always. I like being a brunette. I was blond for a while (years ago!) but it didn't suit me. But yeah, gingers don't usually... err.... do it for me. But Daniel Radcliff looks super different from his usual self in that gif! It comes off as a surprise.

I've met a rather lovely lady. We've been messaging back and forth for a few days and it turns out we live pretty close by one another. We've made a tentative arrangement to meet up for a little while next weekend and hang out.

[viscomica]

Kudos and good luck Jester

A girl winked at me today. It may have been a twitch.

A girl winked at me today. It may have been a twitch.

Man, that's your chance! When something like that happens, you gotta go up to her, flash your winningest smile, and say, "Excuse me, it looks like your eye is twitching uncontrollably." Works every time, trust me.

[Elomin Sha]

Smile? What's that?

[Master Gunner]

Take a trip to Glasgow, I'm sure someone there could show you.

[Darkobra]

NOPE!

And if you do, don't get too close to... anywhere. Ever.

[Drecon]

Nah... that girl obviously has problems. Maybe stick some tape on her face, just to help her control that vile twitch.

In other news... I'm currently kind of dreading the moment when my girlfriend will go to Africa for about two months. It's a great opportunity for her of course, but still the thought makes me really sad.
I guess I've just got to make the most of the time she's still in the country...

[viscomica]

Yeah, I feel for you Drecon :/ May I offer a panda hug?

[Fezzul]

So, the girl I was going out with for a bit kind of fizzled out. We like each other, but she doesn't want to be exclusive, and I'm not super keen on that. I have no problem with that for a bit, but it just wasn't working for me. Particularly because of how weird it was when I hung out with her and other people I knew she was sleeping with. And it just felt awkward.

However, I just met someone new, who seems to really like me. And I think I quite like her. And we'll see where this goes. She's tall (6 foot, which means I don't need to stoop to kiss her) and pretty (in a librarian in a rom-com kind of way, which is cool). So that's a good start.

It's weird, all this time I thought I was bad with women... I'm actually not. I'm actually really quite good at this whole thing. It's cool.

[Avistew]

There is a guy I like... and he likes (liked) me too. We talked about it a few months ago and decided that we were both interested but both felt we should give it more time to get to know each other.

Now it's been a few months and I don't know if I should bring it up or wait more. Part of me worries that getting to know me made him not interested anymore. On the other hand he has a lot on his mind right now so I kind of want to leave him alone until his stuff is sorted (which should take a couple more months).

Not sure if I'm looking for specific advice here, quite honestly... Just felt like sharing. Advice is welcome, though.

[The Jester]

Is she not responding because she doesn't know what to say or because I'm making her uncomfortable. Every fifth post on her blog is about wanting to fine someone to date and she is a very shy, unconfident person.

Do I just say "I don't know if I'm making you uncomfortable or if you just don't know how to respond. If you'd rather I stop bringing up this subject just say so and I'll respect that and leave you alone. I just can't tell what you're thinking."

ETA: Or do I just leave her alone anyway?

[viscomica]

My advice: Leave her alone, when and if she feels confortable she will message you back. If you message her again she might get scared. Just my two cents

[cuddlyblade]

I'm not single anymore! Woooooo! XD

[viscomica]

Kudos to you Cuddlyblade!

[Elomin Sha]

I am still Elomin!


Congratulations blade.

[cuddlyblade]

Thanks

I am still Elomin!

Well I would hope so. I would be most alarmed and surprised if you suddenly became somebody else.

[Elomin Sha]

I think being Elomin is the problem.

[cuddlyblade]

If you say so. Not really knowing you that well I couldn't comment. Though from the limited interaction we've had I don't see why.


Edit: Though given our limited amount of interaction I most likely wouldn't.

[Elomin Sha]

I like making fun at my expense.

[cuddlyblade]

Ah i see. Then we have something in common. Though I mainly only do it in person.
