i think the big thing for my generation is the 'facebook' relationship if you guys have each other as in a relationship with each other on the facebook profile then you are boyfriend girlfriend, otherwise you are single and just dating or hooking up
And you certainly have a problem with posting your opinion at God knows what time in the morning. I'm not in a relationship right now because I'm not willing to settle. One thing Americans could sorely learn. I've been down the path of settling, and it doesn't make anyone happy. BTW, let me know how well you do in the future.
Fatty, coming from you, that makes me immediately trust my decision even more. You are like really accurate diagnostic equipment telling me (and most everyone else) exactly what NOT to do. If you said, "Don't jump off that cliff. You'll certainly die!" I'm freaking leaping off of it like it was the only way to save myself from the hideous death that awaited me just standing there. And, I'd encourage everyone to do it with me! I absolutely take no offense at ANYTHING you say because it takes me 5 seconds to consider the source and I'm instantaneously reminded how completely ridiculous your advice is. It's like a giant flashing warning sign that says, "Whatever you do, don't do anything this guy says!" So, thanks.
*Exaggerated southern Jeff Foxworthy accent* "You might have a boyfriend, IF ___" Cling sign 1 There's already dialogue between you 2 on the subject then. So its just about being PATIENT and seeing things out (but not waiting too long). I'ma guess that him saying "without having to talk about it" at this moment means "I dont want to talk about it NOW". Maybe later...just wait. Cling sign 2 Yep, cuz of that he's probably got a question or 2 of his own, like you do him. Except he's "waiting" to see how things transpire. To you its 2 whole months you been together. To him its probably "just 7-8 weeks". Seems to be going okay so let it be. Time is a precious resource and dont want to wast it, but whats the worst that can happen? Oh brother......Cling sign 3? (nah, that can be true at times) Okay so now there IS a limit on love (jk) This is close to I was gonna recommend. Seriously, it worked didnt it? So besides the length of time whats wrong with that? Still live your live, dont leave crap over at his house and stuff and start nesting. Just shorten the wait time by half or more. Cook something for him and you got a boyfriend (Wait until the 3 month/12 week mark at least to ask if you MUST ask. You'll probably know where he stands at that point anyways. If he hasnt indicated he wants to be a boyfriend DUMP HIS ASS)
What is there to continue to be pissed off about? It appears that his separation was amicable, so I don't think there was any anger towards each other in the first place. If even there was some problem, its no reason to continue to hold a grudge after many years. Maybe for like a day, but to continue to be pissed is a lesson in not letting go.
Jesus, reading through this thread makes me glad as hell that I'm getting married and will never have to worry about all this dating bull**** ever again. Also reminds me of the age/maturity-gap between a lot of posters on this board. Nothing wrong with being young and immature, it's just that I'm glad I've moved on from that phase of my life.
Great, all of the sudden, I'm a clinger. I hate this dating bull****! Maybe I should just become a nun. BTW, I'm in my mid-twenties and I definitely can see that we get wiser when we get older unless we have the Can't Grow Up's syndrome. Jeff, thanks for writing your experiences to a board of r****ds and complete strangers.
Amen brutha. I was seriously just thinking that three pages ago.. Lady Di just say it....quit pussyfooting around, you wanna be serious/exclusive? talk to your man...sit him down, and tell him you really dig him and want to talk to him about it. dont expect him to guess, and dont over-think it. just do it. all this other head game crap is for the birds....Ive been with my lady since 90 and married since 94 we dont f*ck around when it comes to relationship talking....we just do it...get it out in the open and get it straight.
Dating used to be so much easier in elementary school. A simple note asking the question with either Yes/No as an option was sufficient. It wasn't untill middle school that things went downhill with the girls writing maybe instead of circiling yes/no.
If someone doesn't want to get married just want to Enjoy the single life Is something wrong with that? Even if they never want to marry? ROcket River
I would think this life would get lonely...not having someone there for you no matter what. Eh, that's just my opinion!
Lady Di, I will need pictures to further determine the validity of this thread. Just please say you aren't finals bound or xxshadypink... *shudder*
