Relationships

[jynx242]

A recurring theme (and mistake in my book) in this thread is taking everything so damned seriously. RELAX!! If you are taking time to enjoy your life - it shows! If you are looking for someone, you bring much more to the table if you are truly happy. If you are with somebody - same!

 

Romance and relationships find you when you aren't really looking for them. My advice - stop looking and start living. Complete yourself and don't wait for someone to complete you. Then - when you do find that special someone, you are ready.

I'm single and happy! Very happy in fact and have no intentions of getting a girlfriend. I 'spose it's an age thing but I seem to be one of only a few people at my age who don't see a point of a relationship at 14 years old. To be quite honest, I'm not a keen believer in love at all! I don't really see myself getting married or being dragged into a relationship no matter what love feels like. I love being single and I love just having my friends. Too many people just ditch you when they start going serious in a relationship and that p***es me off. Again, I'm sure most of this is age related but hey, it's what I'm feeling right now!

 

One thing that is REALLY annoying about young relationships is the desire to be pysically connected at ALL times with your other half at all costs. Just people at my school practically doing it as they walk down the hall to their lessons. Or when they are split for just an hour of their 80 year life, a measly hour, they insist in having an hour long snog and roll down the walls. They ALWAYS hold hands and stretch across the corridor, basically making some sorta' barricade of love and are oblivious to anything going on outside of their cringy, cheesy loved up world. At lunch or break, they all make a mad dash for the field and lay together, or should I say lay on top of each other and make intermittent kisses and the occasional snog. It's incredibly annoying and I feel they are simply acting how they think they should when 'in love.' Either that or their (mine too) teen hormones are through the roof and they expel their desires on their girl or boyfriend. They're too young for it. People in my year have already done the whole caboodle and someone in my year, bearing in mind she is fourteen, has had a baby already. I'm not impressed at all. You see what 'young love' does to you? It just causes annoyances and problems for you and the people around you.

 

Now, that's just a very cynical view from a person who is at this moment quite stressed, tired and is experiencing a sugar low, so it's best to not take TOO seriously what I just said. However, I do believe what I say to be true, no matter what mood I'm in.

This is so true.

 

If your looking for someone to 'make you happy' you probably wont find it. Your partner is not someone who makes you happy, your partner is someone who you can share your own happiness with. Happiness comes from within.

 

As my mum always said, you cant really love anyone if you dont love yourself first.

Okay so, I've been over the girl that I was in love with for like two whole months now. However, on Saturday night, she tells me (over text) that I'm the only person she's ever thought she could be in love with. I asked her what she wanted, and she replied by saying she doesn't want anything? Apparently, she feels nothing for me now, but feels like she easily could? I f***ing hate women.

 

And then on yesterday, my freaking BEST FRIEND asked her out on a date and at first she blew him off, but then accepted on the principles of "why not." I feel upset, yet I have no reason to as I'm over her (or in extreme denial). This is just really weird. I can't wait till I'm in a proper relationship...which I'm beginning to believe doesn't exist.

If someone tells you this via text, it's BS! You are better off without her.

You're 16! There's no reason to be this cynical yet. If some girl you were "in love with" now texts you that she's "in love with" you, she's just crazy, and you're crazy for letting it bother you. How can you hate women? These are girls. You should hate girls. Women are a different animal entirely.

 

You shouldn't let this bother you. Think about how this is going to affect you in five minutes, five days, five years. Is it going to matter? When you're in college, are you going to look back and say, "Man, I should have texted that idiot how I used to feel about her"? No. So you should get over this just like you got over her.

Haha I love the advice, Larry. Thanks

Every time I get into my "single and loving it" place, something ridiculous (which I always manage to laugh at later) happens.

A few days ago, I get a midnight wake-up call (drunk dial) from one of my good guy friends. We had hung out a few days before, so it would make sense for me to be near the top of his drunk dial list, as we'd had so many jokes that day. So anyways, we're talking, he's smashed, and he professes his undying love for me. I blew it off as a silly drunken comment, but the next day I spoke to him again and get an "I'm sorry, that's not at all the way I had wanted to tell you that I like you." I mean, really? A drunken phone call? Any guy who doesn't have the balls to say something like that without getting drunk first loses a lot of brownie points.

 

So anyways, aside from the fact that I'm pissed that he'd have that conversation while trashed, I'm also disappointed in the inevitable change that is going to happen in our friendship. Let's be honest, no matter how I responded to that, it was going to screw with the friendship. If I was like "sweet, let's make it work!" then we would have dated for a while, eventually broken up (I'm only 18... I'm definitely not about to tie myself down to somebody forever), and then the friendship would be either dead or awkward, or just different entirely. And now that I let him down, as this wouldn't work for a number of reasons (we live an hour away from each other, I enjoy our friendship way too much, and I'm just not feeling the same way), that is also bound to change our current relationship. He's already taken to not taking the hint. He calls me almost daily now, like a boyfriend would, and he wants to see me all the time and what not. So now any attempt that I make at a normal friendship is going to be strained.

 

Oh well. I'm done venting now. Life goes on, haha.

^ I think the easy solution to your problem is to get another dude.

you're so old. next you're gonna say we can't break up via text either

[Josh Linn]

From experience, I do not advise drunk dialing/texting. It only causes extreme awkwardness and is definitely not a good way to score points with someone you're trying to get with.

Breaking up via text is certainly allowable.

I was going out with a girl but I didn't like her anymore so I dumped her. Seemingly, "to our friends" that's not a good enough reason. "Ahh, screw 'em! I have other friends" I thought to myself. A few days later I'm now going out with one of those other friends. I was looking forward to the single life.

[Reon]

I'm going 23 years and counting with not but a single date, and look at me now...................pathetic

[greatamerica1990sfan]

I have never ever had a boyfriend & yet I just turned 28. I would like one that's a TPR member & a roller coaster/theme park junkie. I'd just love to go touring all the parks all the time & riding the coasters. I go on any coaster except ones that spin. I also love waterparks & go on any waterslide. & I could talk about theme parks/roller coasters non-stop!

[davisal771]

I know I'm only 14, but I have a best friend; we've known each other since like, 3 years old. We always got along and never fought or anything all these years. Of course everyone thought we would make a cute couple, blah blah blah. Well I started thinking about a relationship with her and what not, and after some time those feelings got strong and now I really like her. I called her up and next thing I knew we were dating Of course I'm only 14, so these can't mean anything

I envy you.

 

Just think of all the videogames you've gotten to play instead of hanging out with females. I mean.. between you and me, have you ever heard them try to make complete sentences? It's painful sometimes.. stick with the single life man! And for when you need to satisfy the 'urge' .. well they don't call it the oldest profession for nothin..

I'm no expert or anything, but specifying what you are *may* help in your search for a mate.

I'm in 8th grade and the way the people go around dating in my school is ridiculous. Well, used to. All the guys realized how unattractive and annoying all the girls are. For instance, I have resorted to liking a girl who lives three states away and I only see once every few months

[greatamerica1990sfan]

^^Female. Does that surprise you? Females can be coaster crazy just as much as guys! I know I am!!!

[BeemerBoy]

Nope.

I'd stop short of the "crazy" part of it, but my wife agrees.

[onewheeled999]

I'm gonna break up with my girlfriend tomorrow, over the phone.

 

See, the 6th of this month marked our six month "anniversary" since we got together, but our relationship literally hasn't gone anywhere since it began. And in that time, I've just lost all interest in her. So I'm gonna break the news to her tomorrow.

 

Also, what do you guys think about long-distance relationships?

[djbrcace1234]

I'm in one as of right now. It depends on how far you are from each other.

 

As long as you trust each other, I don't see the issue with it.

 

Good luck on the breakup, though.

[Manny In England]

Also, what do you guys think about long-distance relationships?

 

I think that's there's no absolute verdict on them. You'd need to weigh it out very carefully, all the usual stuff like interests, compatability etc as well as "how far apart?" "any chance of being closer?" "If so, how much closer, in how long?"

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

If I were you I would break up face to face, not over the phone. And as for the long distance relationship, theres nothing wrong with giving it a try, but don't become too attached until you are sure you can make it work. Otherwise it would just make ending it because it just can't work that much worse.
