Don't do it... A better solution: Step 1: Donate to the tip jar so that your status is Contributing Member. This provides access to the all-important, and recently re-activated "search" function. Step 2: Using newly acquired search function, search for "penis" and peruse all of the news items posted by kwik_e_mart (and other posters) regarding damage inflicted to male genetalia by scorned lovers. Step 3. WWSD? (What would Sura do?)... Sura Faints. You may do the same. Step 4. Upon reviving, be thankful for what you have at home and never forget it.
I'm guessing you're Swiss and that that has something to do with it not seeming a big deal to date a 16 year old when you're 26 or to not get married after 6 years. The picture looks a little different in the States. As for your predicament, I would suggest you break up with your girlfriend since it sounds like it's all over anyway. Then I would suggest you not even think about dating her friend. Find someone else outside of your group of friends. If you are still interested in the friend in a few years, then you might want to see if she's available and if your current girlfriend has gotten over you. If you are so in love with her that you can't stand the thought of not daiting her once you are "free" consider this: how badly do you want her to be hurt six years from now when she's invested so much of herself in you and you are ready for another change? Regardless of the legality of your situation with your current girlfriend, she has grown up with you. She spent six of the most emotionally formative years of her life with you and you are ready to dump her for someone new even though you claim to still love her! If that seems alright to you, do the women you love a favor and stay out of their lives. If you can see why this is such a cruel thing to do to someone, I suggest you just get over your crush and mend your relationship with your girlfriend.
Palm, Just listen to Fatty as he has proven to be the man for these type of threads. Also listen to some of that indie rock you are always telling me about like Iron and Wine and Beck's new one (eh, he might be too commercial for you! ). Seriously, good luck on whatever you decide to do. I don't really know what to tell you other than to listen to the Fat b*stard on this one.
Hey if Manny Ramirez was president of the United States we'd be dropping Smashing Pumpkins CDs on Iraq and foreign policy would be dictated by which countries build shrines for Miles Davis and Pink Floyd.
I agree with everything FFB said in this thread. Stay the hell away from the other girl, you would just cause a huge mess. Anyway, not to sidetrack the thread too much, but what if I am 33 and the girl is 23 - does that make us a Springer couple also (if we just started dating less than a year ago)? Or is that okay? I'm asking FFB the dating advice guru specifically, but everyone else please also feel free to chime in :
While it may seem odd, there is nothing wrong with someone dating anyone, as long as both parties are above the age of 18. So, no, dating someone who's 23 when you're 33 is OK. Just don't start dating same person when you are 23 and they are 13.
You are correct except for one thing - we would NOT be dropping Smashing Pumpkins CDs, moes, it would be Creed or Nickelback CDs. Sheesh.
So it would be OK then if I dated this 20 year old? I am 34. Man I feel like I am robbing the cradle cause I was 14 when she was born.
I didn't say it wouldn't be odd. There's just nothing wrong with it, especially if she is interested. I'm 33 and I've dated a 20 yr old from time to time. It never goes to the serious stage, though. That is my own hang-up.
