Let's see, I've had 2.

Seventh Grade: One word: LOL. Girlfriends when I'm only beginning to like girls and when they don't really DO anything is just lol. Needless to say, I dumped her and made her cry (Girls have too many emotions) since I wasn't getting anything more out of it than friendship gave me.

Currently (Eleventh Grade): Yep, four years later. We got together about a week ago, I'd consider Alice to be my first real girlfriend. For those that know me more personally here, I'm in my school's marching band, drumline to be exact. Anyways, to be honest, I never really looked at her at all in my two years of marching band, I went after all those flirty girls and lemme tell you, it's not worth it. Anyways, I decided to hang out with Alice and two other friends, Jake and Anne. I had a really fun time, but again, didn't really look at her. We were waiting for the bus (it was dark around 5:00 because it was like mid November) and I somehow ended up with her laying on me and I was holding her inappropriately. The bus came and we get on. There's only Alice and myself in the back seat, and some random dude sitting in front. She rested her head on me and me on her for the bus ride and when my stop came, I gave her a kiss on the cheek and went home. The next morning, I asked her out and I've had the happiest days of my teenage life since.

I've never had a girlfriend before and probably won't get one for awhile but i'm just wondering, how can u find a girl that actually likes videogames at all? where i live, the only female i've ever known who plays videogames is my little sister. I know this is alot to ask for in a girl. But i would think maybe just one girl i know might play videogames.

it's not that you want a girl who plays videogames however nice that would be, but you also need to look for the ones who are tolerant and can handle the fact you're a gamer. or even might get into the games themselves

most girls i know wont touch games.

Hmm, we met at an electronical engineering course, being probably the only two there that weren't interested in electronical engineering brought us together, i just wanted the days off of school lol.

Well we left together during the lunch break, never to return to the course, as friends. I made sure we kept in touch, speaking on one occasion for over 24 hours on the phone (free minutes ftw). When her best friend unfortunately died, we became exceptionally close, despite the relatively far distance between us, and in the end, it became just a mutual agreement that we were going out, as i don't recall either of us asking either of us out lol.

That was about a year and a half ago, and we're still going strong. She's been abroad for her gap year for the last couple of months, so can't wait to see her over the christmas period, neither of us have families to go back to for christmas which is pretty awesome so we can make the most of the time before she goes off for another couple of months.

You shouldn't remain in a relationship if you have stronger feeling for another. It's not right to lead a girl on nor should you keep yourself unhappy with where you are relationship-wise.
Very true. This is exactly what happened to my ex. I noticed that she just stopped caring (she never called, she always canceled our plans, she put her new friends in front of me EVERYTIME), and when I went to confront her about it, I WAS going to give her a final chance to redeem herself, but she already had it planned to break up with me, and she did. She just didn't like me is all. I should've left earlier, but I had other things on my mind at the moment.

But that's not the point of the thread. How did I meet my ex?

Simple. My friend told me that she had a crush on me for like a year, and she kept it from me until what could've possibly been the last day we would've seen each other. Our senior trip.

So in the first few days of summer, I thought about it.... and thought about it.... thought long and hard about it...... and then I asked her out. All went well for the first couple of months, and then..... well.... first paragraph.

They're just obsessed with the unobtainable.

Playing hard to get and hard to reach emotionally are amazing for controlling girls. It's really sad because teenage girls will completely make you their ***** if you put your heart out on a sleeve.

Don't give them control. :mad:
Easier said than done, still.

If you really care about a girl, it becomes considerably harder.

Well, coming from you I understand your perspective.

Your stories only enforce my stereotypical views about rich, white European women. :D

But yeah, see how hurt you were? Don't deny it, you would've done nearly anything to get their approval and to impress them.

Basically what I meant.

I've decided that I'm not really ready for a girlfriend yet. For the moment I think I'll stick to talking to girls as friends, rather than chatting any of them up. Most of them are taken anyway... >_>

There are some guys I quite fancy too, but I'd get lynched for that.

I met my current (Billy) two years ago at the library I worked at. We talked for a little bit and then kinda fell off the map for about 6 months. Then I went to one of his tournaments and we became best friends. I talked to him every day for a year and a half. 5000+ text messages per month. >.> Around September my boyfriend at the time and I realised we weren't in love with each other anymore and really hadn't been for the last almost year of our relationship (he has now since become my best friend, pretty much a brother to me), and so we broke up. Billy and I started dating in October. He's loved me for two years. :)

This is true.

It's funny how guys ignore a lot of girls and be a douche around them yet they still come after that guy. On the flip side when a decent guy shows emotion to a girl they either use him or just play his heart like a drumset.

Amazing how attraction works.

Agreed. Girls who act like that piss me off.

Yeah, I probably should have said something about her being a virtuous woman too( which is my 1st priority in looking 4 a girl by the way!). What i'm trying to say is everytime i find a girl who would care for me, we usually don't have much in common. It seems to happen that way for alot of girls. (seriously, i'm pretty weird.) Since videogames are practically part of my life, a girl who likes videogames would be great. I'm really not trying to complain at all. Besides, i'm still pretty young, & there's plenty of fish out there. And While my first priority in knowing a girl is here love 4 God and love 4 me as much as i would love her, i was just saying it would be nice to find a girl who likes videogames as well.

read a few pages back ^^ gamefaqs, baby! nah, I dunno that was 2001, now-a-days might not be so lucky, but you don't even have to troll an internet video game website to score... ha, that was funny, but NO really, you just have to pay attention, there's bound to be one or two that even go to school w/you. I remember my senior year a sophomore chick I met at a party was glued to mortal kombat on genesis... I think "ha, that's funny" and challenged her. I literally lost every. single. match. And I wasn't bad or anything, she was just that much better... I'd have said "love at first sight" except I already had a love interest at the time (who didn't play video games at all ><) ... after several years of failed relationships, I finally realized one key thing that was to be important was that she be a gamer. And ... the love of my life is in fact, a true gamer, kicks my *** in dr. mario (we got the Wii version now) and in Melee, and we JUST bought the MK Kollection, and she's already dominating, but I think we'll stick to shaolin monks for now cause we can both play on the same team.

im not necessarily going to find any girl im interested in until i move south to Perth imo. where i love now (Geraldton) is a hole, no one enjoys playing most games with me that arent co-operative because i always bloody win..

as it is no girls here are interested in me and vice versa. moving to a bigger city will open up my options alot more and also bring me closer to the perth smash scene which i hope to become a major part in, in the years to come.

one of the bigger things i look for in a girl is if she can challenge me, no matter the scenario. i love a challenge

once i got out of my shell in my HS jr. year it has been a disaster for me: whiny, opinionated girl, girls who just disappear from me, both IRL and online, those who never pick up the cell... There was this one girl I met from maplestory and she basically fell for me. i loved her after that and i had so much fun talkin to her. broke up with another girl i met online for her but she just disappeared. she's going to college near me next year but i really can't wait now. i need a girl now in my freshman year of college.

so i was bored and i did some chatroom/omegle. got a random girl's contact and i think she messaged me. i didn't remember her lol. but then we talked, we had practically the same taste in music and we just enjoyed talkin to each other. she had an ex and from it she wanted to take things slow which i was fine with. we just chatted again today, planning for the day we meet and tease on the future.

that's it for now. if this thread keeps up i'll update i suppose. otherwise i might make a blog about it if something big happens.

That's what most people I know say, because they don't have the balls to do sh*t... It's fun, so why not? Come on, before judging it. Try it.
I'm extremely late to jump on this gun, now, but it hasn't been the fact that I don't have the "balls"

Girls have put their interest in me right out for everyone to see at points in my life, but I don't bother with them because they're almost always not my type at all.

I'm quite happy being single, I don't really ever get lonely so I'm not going to go running around looking for someone to keep me company. I have friends and thats good enough for me at the moment.

If there is ever someone I'm generally interested in, then there's a strong chance I'll go for it.

If not, well, then I'm cool with being a virgin forever.

You are awesome, for being able to get a girl to fall for you over Maplestory.

I have yet to get a girlfriend. D:

I might have one soon though. :D
It's pretty commonplace for people to like each other on the interwebs.
It's like, common knowledge.

Interesting, I had like 3 of my years at high school chronicled about this all of my girlfriends in there, this reminded me to finish that thanks, it's pretty lengthy though so I don't think I'll be posting it.
Tl;dr doesn't exist when it comes to blogs.

Don't let that be the reason not to post something. You don't post if you're uncomfortable with it. :D

I wonder if it has something to do with the (somewhat) unattainable. XD

I can see that happening, but over Maplestory? Madness. Then again, I was kind of a loner when I played...

Why are people's friends so intent on destroying relationships?

I was actually denied attending her party at the last minute, because of some bullsh*t rumours.

I'm so f*cking pissed off right now I want to rage.

I rescued her from a metal doppelganger of myself. The girl would do anything I'd say. So, we did it. I still ain't aiming from a SRS relationship, and she keeps trying to convice meez.

That's a cool story there. However, i go to a super small school and know everyone there. Still, i hven't even gotten to college yet. so i'll wait.......this is taking awhile.

I met my wife at an Eastern Michigan hockey game. My team was playing EMU the next week, so my team went to one of EMU's games to plan our strategy and such. She was sitting about 2 rows behind me, and we started talking. Yep. That's it.

I'm kind of going through a weird girl situation right now. We've known each other for about a year now, and ever since, we've been growing closer and closer. We've talked through texting nearly every day. However, there is a certain circumstance that has kept us from getting too close to each other and we've never been able to be completely honest with each other...and we've never been able to hang out 1 on 1 before. We've hung out every weekend with other friends with us, but never alone. Just trust me when I say this is a complicated situation...but right now, she's probably one of, if not, the most important person in my life right now. And right now, it feels as if our relationship is slowly decaying and it kills me not being able to share what I've wanted to share with her for the past 3 months. It just feels like we're both getting frustrated having to talk through texting.

I'm at the point where I just want to ignore this circumstance and tell her how I honestly feel right now. We're going to go see Christmas Lights at some place with 1-2 of our friends tomorrow. I want to pull her aside at the very end, possibly hold her hand, and I want to tell her something like:

"I just thought now would be a good time to be honest and to tell you that I like you. I'm not sure as a girlfriend or best friend right now, but I just wanted to let you know that I've wanted to hang out with you 1 on 1 for quite some time because it gets kind of boring having to talk through texting all the time, you know? I'm sorry it took a long time for me to tell you, but (certain circumstance) kept me from doing so, and I'm sure you understand this circumstance too. So yeah...I just wanted to know how you feel about me and this."

There, she would respond. Idk, do you guys think that would be a good plan?

You're right. I've let alot of opportunities slip away from me. Even though I'm a little nervous and unsure if things will work out alright after I tell her this, it may save our friendship/relationship and it may be even better than before.

I met my boyfriend through a friend and we've been together for over a year. He's a great guy. Though it was really awkward the first time we went on date. I accidentally spilled Coke on him. I seem to do that a lot. Then later, he called me and I was playing Harvest Moon...it went like this:

Me: *Picks up phone* Hello?
Him: Hey Chloe (Yink)! What's going on?
Me: I'm milking my cow!
Him: .............okay um.......is that code for something?

I hope he knows he's getting stuck with a geek.
Seriously, I'm a geek, I have Ness' hat!

Where you aren't
Lets see, I have numerous (and I mean numerous) failings to get a GF, so lets go with my only triumph (if you could call it that)

About a year ago I was feeling ultra depressed and worthless, and after another failing, I met this sweet girl online. Never being in a relationship period, I got confused at how she treated me (Im not very familiar at all to being treated decently by the fairer sex), so one day I asked if she'd want to be my GF, she said sure. However after 3 months she got bored, stopped caring and moved on. To this day Im still alone and depressed, having failed 13 or so times at getting a GF and starting a real relationship, which is literally all I want, but no matter how much effort I put in, shes either to shallow, loves someone who treats her badly, thinks Im a stalker, w/e.

Im the textbook definition of nice guys finish last =/.
