Help with love

Ya'll got that right.

I'm trying to see it this way. If doing right gets you burned, walked on, hurt, etc. then at least you have the affirmation that you're doing what is right, and while that may not get you very far in this life, Someone is keeping score. That's what really matters. :)

And I think Kwycke wins "most censored post" for that last one. :p

LOL...Thats a great way to look at it :)

However, its like playing a game of football. You've played football before, right? Well, sometimes people get hurt, but its a rough sport, and if you want to score, you've got to play by the rules and be tough.

The rules in the game of love, unfortunately, are putting up just enough of a front to keep the girl interested and not too much so that she thinks you're a fake. That's all. You can still be you, you've just got to be slightly modified you :D

LOL...thx for the award!

But, those ****ing ****ers who put up censoring **** and ****ed up this ****ing place are a bunch of *******s. J/K .. I just wanted to get some more ****ing words censored and ****.

Subscribed!

Went through the same thing in high school. :o

And numerous times since...:frustrate

Most of the advice I've read in here is 100% accurate. Good luck, and hurry up and post the latest update.:type:
 
Well if Supersoldier is going to subscribe... ;)

Let's see, where do I begin? Well, I took most everyone's advice and sent her a "so long" message the other day. I basically told her what everyone here has said, that this isn't fair to me, blah blah blah. And, as I expected, she responded. It seems some people only respond to ultimatums :rolleyes:. Anyway, she wrote back telling me all the things I wanted her to say from the start, that she was just scared and wanted time to herself that didn't include talking to me or dealing with the situation. In my reply, I told her that I assumed most of that, but she had written in her blog that she wanted to talk and continue to be friends like we had been up until that point. So in my reply I laid everything on the table, telling her that I was over most of it, and it wasn't as serious as she had built it up in her mind, both things a little untrue. She read it and didn't reply.

So I took a shower and remembered something. Some friends had mentioned to me that they wanted to go to the Galleria in Birmingham that weekend. I knew that she works there (because she told me), and I also knew that she was coming home to Birmingham that weekend (also because she told me). By "that weekend" I mean the weekend that just ended. So she read that message too but didn't reply.
Fast forward a few days, and we're at the Galleria. If any of you have ever been there you know that it is absolutely crawling with beautiful women. That's beside the point, but if any of you guys have ever thought about visiting the largest mall in Alabama, you would do well to check it out ;) Anyway, we're there walking around, doing this and that, and we eventually make our way to American Eagle where she works. And of course, she's not there. Damnit. My friend asked some guy that works there if she was coming in that day (Saturday), and he said he didn't know. We walked around some more, blah blah blah, and my friend Jay and I were walking by AE again on our way to meet my other friend at Macy's. I popped in and asked a different guy if he knew if she was working that day. He said she wasn't.
So on we go to Macy's where my friend and I wait while my other friend tries on the whole store. While waiting I said, "what the hell, I'll call her. I've got nothing to lose." So I called her from my friend's phone because mine is crap. To my surprise, she answered. She seemed somewhat surprised when she heard that it was me, but I don't really know why because she doesn't know anyone except me in the 334 area code, which is the number I called from. So we talked for a few minutes. It was casual conversation where she didn't act strange or in a rush to get off the phone. It was just normal. She explained to me (without my asking) why she didn't come home that weekend, then I let her go.

Later that night - Saturday night - I sent her a message on Myspace. It was short and to the point. I told her it was good to talk to her, and I hoped she would have a good weekend. She read it and didn't reply. Granted, it wasn't a reply-necessary message, but it would've been nice.

So I made a decision this morning. I decided to remove her from my friends list, remove all my comments from her profile, and remove her subscription to my blog. I don't know why I did that because she won't notice for a few reasons.
1. She gets on Myspace for a total of 30 seconds every day, whereas she used to spend hours there.
2. I'm not in her top 8, and she has 467 friends. How would she notice that I'm gone?

I didn't want to do it, and I don't really know why I did, but whatever. I got tired of seeing her leave comments on people's profiles while ignoring my messages. So, I guess that's the end of it. Now you guys can rejoice that I finally did what you wanted. I hope somebody is happy about the whole thing.

Sorry to waste your time with the subscription, Supersoldier.

It's all good:cheers:

In high school, I fell for this girl HARD. We had a short high school relationship, but to me, it was EVERYTHING. I was always the shy, nice guy. I was really fat up until 8th grade (5'10", 240lbs:burger: ), and lost a bit in 9th, more in 10th, and got super skinny (6'0", 178 lbs) in 11th, finally getting to have a really good build in 12th. But I guess the fat kid was still with me. Anyway...

When I was with this girl, it just brought out everything that I knew I had in me as far as love, and romance, ect. goes. It was BAD. It started out great, then I got the "I feel like I love you, but I'm so scared". Which made me push 20 times harder, thinking that if I showed her just how much I loved her she would let herself fall too. Long (5+ page) letters EVERY DAY, poems, text messages, voicemails, you name it. I know, I know, I wasn't quite the pimp:afro: :cool: I am today. So anyway she completely stopped talking to me (after she told me she loved me), and I was devistated. I was completely obsessed (which I can say now, but back then I was "in love"). I Still wrote her a lot, gave her some, kept some. Called every couple weeks, nothing. Finally her mom got involved, and was half nice, but told me to leave her alone or there would be consequences.

And through all this, I got all the same good advice from all my close friends, but it fell on deaf ears. I think it was Kwycke that said it, and I've had the same exact thoughts in the past. I fell in love with a ghost, or an ideal of a person that I thought this girl was, but she wasn't. And I could never accept that she wasn't this person, even though the proof was right in front of me everyday. It took me about 18 months (yeah that is pathetic) to get over her, had horrible, horrible depression, ect. I know exactly how good it feels to "love" that person that you just meet and have that connection with. And I know how hard the thought of letting that feeling go is, and how hard letting go of the hope that she is who you think she is, or how hard accepting the fact that your heart can feel that way for the wrong person is.

I wish I would have (or could have) listened to the advice of anyone and everyone in my life that cared about me back then. It would have saved me many months of sadness.

More recently, I met a girl that was 18 turning 19. She was gorgeous too. We started off good, had a seemingly good connection, and I had some feelings for her. This story is like all the advice from this thread in a real life story. Girls like the A HOLE, right? Well the way I met this girl was because I was banging her best friend. The first night we all hung out, we all got drunk and went back to my apt. When the girl I was already with went to the bathroom, I had a moment with this girl and we made out. The rest of the time I was trying to get my girl to fall asleep so I could be alone with the new girl, but it didn't happen. So what did I do? Naturally I banged the old girl in the dining room while the new one was on the couch in the living room (right in front of her). So a few weeks later my girl ends up leaving, and it's all ready for me and the new girl to get together, which happens. But I flipped the script, played the nice guy, and got burnt.

So confiriming a couple themes earlier stated in the thread: Don't develop deep feelings for girls too early. When all the signs are there to move on and let go, do just that. And, young girls suck (unless you just want booty).

Very true...there is something about the ******* that chicks just seem to love. Almost every guy learns this, its like 'the secret'...its almost a technique you have to develop in order to get chicks, its really funny. As the nice guy, you get hurt. As the *******, you get all the chicks. Its disgusting, really. I'll never understand why almost every girl I've ever met says they 'want a nice guy' but always turn the nice guy away for the *******.

edit: But, in order to keep the girl, you've got to ditch the ******* after a couple of months or else they get sick of it. They're 'attracted to *******s' but they want their *******s to be nice guys. :rofl:


Well the trick is a balancing act here. The only time to show affection is RIGHT as she does or is about to. You have to keep being a little distant always, but you make up for it with thoughtful gestures and CHIVALRY. Like for example, I took a girl out this summer in what was one of my more successful beginnings to what turned out to be a real **** relationship. However, I would tease her about some of the lighter things most of the time and got her thinking "does he like me" etc, but I would open car doors, pull out chairs, walk on the outside of the curb and really show that I am a gentleman. This girl was very attractive, but I never complimented her on her good looks, except at the right time :) End of the 1st date I took her for a tour of my house with the total intention of kicking her out telling her I had other things going on and I did after about 5 minutes. I had her totally wondering if I liked her or not and it bugged the **** out of her. I stayed in control, we always did what I wanted to do, with a little input from her, but she never made the plans. However later on in the relationship I got ****ed up (I was juicing and my emotions were out of wack) and one night I let her know too much about the way I felt (this was a few months later) and I gave her the upper-hand at that point and it was never the same. I tried to turn the tables and did, but man it was hard to do. Then it turned into a nasty game with nothing but malicious games being played by both of us, ****ty times :( BUT I've walked away with a lesson that you can't tell a woman your feelings until the RIGHT TIME and it's a ONE SHOT DEAL and it has to be when the same things are on her mind, otherwise you lose your standing in her eyes. Sometimes we talk, but I know it could never be the same again. Once a girls interest levels drops below a certain level, you will never be as attractive in her eyes again and if she does come back to you, chances are it will be short-lived (your a backup plan).
 
The Lords works are not the easiest to understand .. Sometimes the hurt . But being a man of Faith you know this could be a test of faith. Stay strong!! Keep the Lord in your Heart !!! And when the time is right God will Bless you 10 fold.. Unanswered prayers are not always a bad thing. What you thing is right for you right now God knows may not be Later. Thats our problem we always live for today .. Brother Im a man of God and I learned leave it to God to show us the way...
