Kinda like your mother right?
He'd probably agree with you on that one, so that's a waste of a dub post.

I think the problem most guys have is that they don't realise girls are shallow like us, so they think there's this bigass ****in art to the whole world of attracting women, but there is none. No art, the only art is in manipulating their emotions and turning them into a legion of beaten dogs, metaphorically speaking. Don't feel bad guys, they'd do the same to you! *whip*

I think girls are actually worse. So you should treat them like that!

Your face is an emo kid.


What if it's true?
According to who? Every single person you'll ever meet and have met already? Well that's unlikely. And in general, it's better to understand that people aren't so lacking in detail that some aren't capable of finding a way to enjoy and relate to them on some level. The type of people that can't find enjoyment out of others are the true bores, that lack any signs of life or open-mindedness. Excluding obvious examples of people that one shouldn't be enjoying or relating to.

Are you not fun according to certain, specific people? Then to heck with them. Why try to be a jester? That's not what you are, yes? You've no king to entertain. Again, there will be other certain, specific people that won't need you to go out of your way for. You might not know them, but to say such people exists is hardly a stretch.

Or are you just no fun because that's you think?

I've no advice for dating, seeing as how I'm a shut-in, but if I were to suggest anything it's to not actually worry enough to really think you need advice in the first place. At the risk of sounding like someone stating the naive platitude of, "Just be yourself", I'd just say that things go a lot better when you focus on doing what you like and fulfilling any goals you have; dating is something that will just kind of happen on that journey. Not that it is something spontaneous that sparks from nothing and no effort required from you or the other person, but I don't think it's strange to bump into people when you're just doing your thing (unless you're a shut-in too :laugh:). We're humans, feelings are going to erupt sooner or later unless you have some sort of ailment that hinders you emotionally.

And if it's the type of person that you need advice for anyhow, then it's not worth it If you think you need tips to keep him or her emotionally attached or to keep them entertained, it's either doomed to fail eventually or you're going to be bending yourself backwards to make it work for the rest of your life. Relationships do need some help for everyone, but if it's involved in any category that isn't trying to emotionally comprehend one another and acting accordingly (and even with that a lot of it needs to be natural), then it might be best to consider backing out for your own sake. Some chemistry is going to have to be involved or every reaction is going to be incredibly forced. I don't know about anyone else, but to me that sounds like hell.

How about according to the majority of people you've met and to yourself?

I think you're overestimating people if you think that most every person is capable of manifesting entertainment in others, the law of averages dictates otherwise. Some people are just boring, I've met them and I'm sure others in here have as well. And its important they recognize they're boring if they ever want to have ac chance at correcting it.

I did not say most people can do that, now did I? Hell, most people can't even be entertained when on their own because they need others, they bore themselves, I don't expect those same people to be good at appreciating qualities of people very well. To me the only issue really comes in with that, if you bore yourself I mean. You're stuck with yourself and your emotions, so the closest person to which we're obligated to entertain is ourselves, we're our own King and Jester. If you can't Jester yourself you'll rely on others and since they are beyond your control it'll be hard to satisfy yourself, and personally those who look towards others desperately for that attention aren't very pleasant. The people who look out at the world and proclaim loudly "I am bored!" and when the world does not reply, they, left alone to their thoughts, mutter almost accusingly, "This is awkward..."

If someone finds another boring it is the same as stating that they couldn't succeed in entertaining themselves otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to lean on someone else and end up experiencing such ennui. You have to take the person's perspective into account, nothing you see goes through without passing the veil of your bias, no situation where your "self" isn't tied to the situation. How can such an interpretive accusation not be related to the accuser?

Look, I understand that people can be hard to enjoy in that they lack knowledge of things and experiences, all the worse if because of that they lack a desire to change. But a part of what a person is is also their potential, what they could say or think with their qualities when put in a certain situation or light. I get that if one desires to be enjoyable for others when they tend not to be is to expose themselves and put themselves out there, but that's the same exact reason I say people can be and thus are anything but a bore, and it takes someone who lacks any skill in finding characteristics and comprehending them and doing anything with them to miss. That is why it's a capital mistake to view oneself like that (among multiple reasons) because it's a sign that you are truly as you perceive because you don't know yourself well enough to see anything else.

It's the fault of those who perceive others as boring, ultimately, regardless. The term is incredibly subjective, and what can found to be meaningful and to be enjoyed it just as subjective; I don't give a **** if it's agreed upon by the entire consensus of people that you know. I might be seeing things like this because I'm often reading or thinking of writing, so I wonder about all of the people I've met and characters I imagine, all the things they say or do almost represents a part of life or our own existence, even something that comes off "boring" becomes novel in some sort of way because I no longer see it as something that fails to amuse anymore, the word no longer really applies. Whether I come off out-of-touch or blindly ideal is something I consider, but either way, I'd hope that someone can take what I've said and relate or understand it on some level the same way I proposed people look at the subject of boredom. No one has to agree or get what I mean, luckily it helps someone one way or another.

I'm a bit defensive when it comes to the subject admittedly. As someone who doesn't know how to socialize very well and struggles with motivational issues, I've spent a lot of time thinking about these things (perhaps too much :laugh: ). Going off on a tangent, I've kind of produced some hard to read walls of text that have little to do with the topic though, so I guess I'll shut up.

I have no idea what's going on with this girl from back home I mentioned before.

A few weeks ago she mentioned that she was lonely so jokingly I asked her to marry me. Since then we've been talking and flirting pretty much every night. Today she asked me when I'm coming back home and I told her I intend to plan a trip as soon as I get a second job or my current job hires me full time. She then talks about how that maybe a long time so she'll have to buy a lot of international minutes to talk with me or we'll both have to save for my plane ticket. I really like the girl but we're not in a long distance relationship, I wonder if she gets that

You don't have to be married in order to maintain a relationship.

You both are in a relationship, maybe she's not your official girlfriend now, but is very possible that she will be yours because she's clearly interested in you, like she's even willing to buy extra minutes to talk with you and help you buy a plane ticket (and I'm pretty sure this is not the only thing that she has said/done that shows her interest in you).

So yeah, is likely that she wants to be with you, heck, she'll be in your bed by now if she lived close to you, lol

Heheh, seeing this topic brought back a whole flood of memories from another forum. Everyone there used to come to me for advice on stuff, but for some reason, love, romance, and dating were involved with their problems. People commonly came to me about it. And apparently, my advice has worked every time. Which is odd, as I have never actually dated anyone before, and don't plan to anytime soon.

I did have one three year experience with a girl from that forum, though. We weren't dating, but we were so close, and I did have feelings for her. She did something awful to me though, and we stopped talking, but she has tried to apologise and what not since. And I forgive her at this point, but I have no idea what she wants from me at this point. She's apparently sent me a bunch of anonymous messages on tumblr. Makes me wish I could remember what they were. She's been having a terrible time of things of late though. Makes me wish things didn't become so complicated, so I could help her.

Anyway, I don't want to claim expertise on the subject, but I'll be willing to listen to anyone with their romance issues. If there is a chance I could help someone, I'd like to.

I think you hit the nail on the head right there. A lot of this is just me getting my feelings out but I would appreciate anyone's input on this.

Much of our relationship just doesn't make sense to me. What I thought this would be is a flirting buddy who I would likely be able to sleep with and hopefully pursue a relationship with when I visited back home. At this point I am inclined to believe she totally infatuated with me, which is weird because I haven't seen her in over 6 years and we've only been talk for about 3 weeks now. I had thought (and maybe wanted to thought) that we were on the same page and all this flirting and affectionizing was for the most part done in fun, but it seems naive for me to continue believing that.

She is getting clingy, calling me everynight. I just don't want to speak to her for near 2 hours every night. Preferably I'd like to speak with her once every 3 days. I like our relationship and I don't want to lose it and I don't know how to tell her this without jeopardizing the relationship. She is highly emotional

Something humbling about this is that this "relationship" has opened my eyes to my own insecurities. For example I haven't asked her what this relationship is partially because I thought we were on the same page, but also because I was afraid of her reaction. I like having a girl to flirt with, and I like having someone who is emotionally attached to me, and reluctant to question it because I imagine she'll: get angry, front and tell me to get over myself or get hurt and lash out at me for being unsure of how I feel about her or worst of all laugh at me and reveal that she was just been using me because she's bored(in all scenarios ending or at least changing what we have). Another thing is that I've never liked talking over the phone, I've always preferred communicating via text or in person, but I see its simply because I am in-confident that I will be able to entertain her over the phone, I'm just not as funny and charming over the phone and I think she'll see that and get bored with me. Ironically however it is the opposite that seems to be happening, there will be times when there is an awkward silence and I don't know what to say but she doesn't seem to care, she'll just change the topic until we hit a groove again. Its almost like I am projecting my insecurities on to her, something I never thought I had a problem with.

Anyways the reason I am talking about this now is because last night she called me late to have phone sex. I have never had phone sex, it seems strange to me. I was against it, trying to tell her we shouldn't bother but I complied and even started to enjoy it a little, the phone cut off and when she called back I didn't answer. And I feel like this exchange opitimizes our relationship, constantly swaying back fourth between what we want, what we expect and how we feel. The whole thing is just confusing. I do know that right now I don't want to be in a relationship withher simply because it would be a lie. The relationship needs to develop naturally, if we commit to each other it would be hollow, we just don't have a strong enough bond for that work yet.

And so my phone has been off since last night, she probably left me voice mails and I imagine a scathing message on facebook. I'll send her some pictures of me that she has been hounding me for to win her over again. And then once we're on good terms I'll ask her what exactly our relationship is. Its unavoidable at this point *sigh*

If you're close with someone, you should be able to be honest with someone, even if that honesty hurts them. If you're afraid of some sort of backlash from her, you need to set up a foundation with her, ensuring that neither of you would flip out like that if something you said offended the other one, all with the intent of being honest with each other. The most important part of this is stressing how you don't want to lose what you have with her.

I've never been fond of phone calls either, but having phone calls with a significant other does elicit a different experience. The girl I talked about before doesn't like phone calls either, but when we were flirting over the summer, we had multiple phone calls (many of her calling me) and phone sex once or twice. When it comes to the nervousness of being on the phone, don't try and overthink what's happening. When there's a moment of the silence on the phone, don't overthink. Don't think "She must be getting frustrated with me being all quiet, she must think I'm boring," etc etc., because she's very likely equally nervous on her end and thinking the same thing about her being quiet. Point is, if she's seriously this infatuated with you, she's not going to be judgemental of the little things like you being quiet for a few seconds.

From what I can tell, you being unsure of what your relationship is is fairly relatable to what I've been through twice before. If you do decide you want to get attached to her, be sure that you talk to her about what you two want out of one another, because the last thing you want to happen is get attached but not be on the same page of what each of you want.

Also, if you don't like phone calls, perhaps try suggesting an alternative, such as Skype.

Don't worry about your insecurities now, what you said that you're thinking is true, is likely that she's doing it for fun for the most part, after all, girls want fun and emotions with guys, and the guy that can make her feel the most exciting emotions wins the girl.

So, like I said, forget about any insecurities, make up your mind and figure out sincerely what you want with this girl, regardless of what you think she may think or feel about you or w.e. My advice to you is to be optimistic, think "I've got this, this is what's going to happen, she's mine", at the end of the day nothing happens if things don't work with this girl, you simply move on, just remember that you should never commit emotionally too much until she has shown good feelings for you. For now, you can choose to play her game and if she asks you to commit in a way that you can't, then you can fake it until she shows good feelings towards you. Yeah, I know this may sound like being a douchebag, but the fact of the matter is that this is simply the safest move you can do and it pays off if she had sincere feelings for you.

So, right now she probably doesn't see you as a potential boyfriend for a more serious relationship but you can tell she's very interested. By the way you describe this situation I can see she is in need of attention, and is horny, and if you can't give her the attention, love and sex that she needs, she's probably going to find somebody else who does. I don't want to discourage you, not at all, in fact you should take this as a big opportunity to take it to the next level with this girl, but we warned that too much time can kill her patience for you, so don't take too long thinking about what will be your next move.

Like I said, don't commit emotionally too much, after all, all you've being doing with this girl is just flirting, so just play her game,
have phone sex, let her call you at nights for hours, and overall be very nice and playful to her. Well, talking for hours may be a bit of annoying for you, but you can tell her nicely that you feel very tired from work, studying and whatnot and give her a nice good night kiss or w.e
The whole point is that later on this could be a big payoff for you if it comes that she truly and sincerely likes you and has good feelings for you.

This advice comes from my own experience, my relationship was very sex based at first, but then love started growing, and we are very happy now.

Lol I'm pretty sure it won't been an issue she'll send me back a friendly generic response. I'm just bothered now because I actually don't want to hear anything she has to say, I just thoughtlessly sent her a message because I was bored.

And listen to what everyone has to day made me wish I had more guy friends. I like "guy talk" its fun. I hope we do it more.

Holy crap, I can give dating advice all the time, but I've rarely dated. :p

IMHO, people who don't currently have a successful relationship or a good dating experience record shouldn't be giving advice.

Not true. If you have observed many a relationship and dissected why it flourished/failed, you gain a lot of insight. Especially since you look at it without emotion distorting your vision.

In the end, love and romance is just a part of human psychology.

You're wrong about this.

Unless you have a masters degree in psychology or something you really can't understand dating unless you've done a lot of dating yourself. What you're saying is just crap that people who don't date like to say.

Have a cute girl/guy that plays smash that you cannot simply pop the question? Are you questioning whether to ask out a girl/guy in general? Do you need advice on how to strengthen your relationship? Well I am your guy and this is your thread. Give us some minor details and such, and myself and anyone who is willing to give advice will do it! If it is too embarrassing, you can private message me, and please note that I am not a miracle worker. Sometimes there is loss and heartbreak, and that is life.
Do you know where I can find a gamer girl that's attractive? I find this to be impossible.

If those are your two qualifiers for a potential mate, then my professional assessment is that you're not ready to please a woman in any capacity. I'll elaborate further in the form of a short poem:

If you're disregarding females on the basis of appearance,
yet you're fond on the idea of a pair-bonding experience,
you've got an objectifying complex too developed to regress,
and with that, you've got little to no chance of getting undressed.

This post makes this entire thread worthwhile.

You're wrong about this.

Unless you have a masters degree in psychology or something you really can't understand dating unless you've done a lot of dating yourself. What you're saying is just crap that people who don't date like to say.
You're wrong about this.

The experiences of dating are made up of feelings, ideas, and situations that we all face or hear about. There's nothing unique about it, and you're going to receive a hard time arguing that people cannot talk about things that they aren't directly in because no one thinks that and very reasonably so. Logic and emotion don't work like that, thankfully, or we'd all be doomed to be lost forever.

Regardless, people get great advice and use out of people that don't date much all the time so that's really all the proof you need right there to know it's true.

For the record, I got one of my friends from an online forum laid.

Like, him and his girlfriend were having a drought in the sex department, so I talked to his girlfriend, and him, worked some things out, then the next day, she messages me "I want to thank you for the 12 orgasms I've had".

I've also brought various people together, basically helped them break the ice.

The only reason I've never been in an official relationship is because dating lots of people to find someone really special is not how I like to do things. I prefer just going through life, engaging with people, and seeing if I can find someone without outright looking for dates. If I end up really liking someone, then that's that.

I've been focusing on other things, finding a romantic partner really just isn't something I want right now.

Do you know where I can find a gamer girl that's attractive? I find this to be impossible.
It really depends where you are, my advice would be, hold on. I have a best friend that is a gamer, a girl, and attractive(she is not my girlfriend btw) I live in Illinois. But my advice would be, is go to some gaming conventions, you will be bound to meet some attractive females there, go to smash tournaments, midnight releases, get out into the world and have fun. Eventually you will succeed.

I think you hit the nail on the head right there. A lot of this is just me getting my feelings out but I would appreciate anyone's input on this.

Much of our relationship just doesn't make sense to me. What I thought this would be is a flirting buddy who I would likely be able to sleep with and hopefully pursue a relationship with when I visited back home. At this point I am inclined to believe she totally infatuated with me, which is weird because I haven't seen her in over 6 years and we've only been talk for about 3 weeks now. I had thought (and maybe wanted to thought) that we were on the same page and all this flirting and affectionizing was for the most part done in fun, but it seems naive for me to continue believing that.

She is getting clingy, calling me everynight. I just don't want to speak to her for near 2 hours every night. Preferably I'd like to speak with her once every 3 days. I like our relationship and I don't want to lose it and I don't know how to tell her this without jeopardizing the relationship. She is highly emotional

Something humbling about this is that this "relationship" has opened my eyes to my own insecurities. For example I haven't asked her what this relationship is partially because I thought we were on the same page, but also because I was afraid of her reaction. I like having a girl to flirt with, and I like having someone who is emotionally attached to me, and reluctant to question it because I imagine she'll: get angry, front and tell me to get over myself or get hurt and lash out at me for being unsure of how I feel about her or worst of all laugh at me and reveal that she was just been using me because she's bored(in all scenarios ending or at least changing what we have). Another thing is that I've never liked talking over the phone, I've always preferred communicating via text or in person, but I see its simply because I am in-confident that I will be able to entertain her over the phone, I'm just not as funny and charming over the phone and I think she'll see that and get bored with me. Ironically however it is the opposite that seems to be happening, there will be times when there is an awkward silence and I don't know what to say but she doesn't seem to care, she'll just change the topic until we hit a groove again. Its almost like I am projecting my insecurities on to her, something I never thought I had a problem with.

Anyways the reason I am talking about this now is because last night she called me late to have phone sex. I have never had phone sex, it seems strange to me. I was against it, trying to tell her we shouldn't bother but I complied and even started to enjoy it a little, the phone cut off and when she called back I didn't answer. And I feel like this exchange opitimizes our relationship, constantly swaying back fourth between what we want, what we expect and how we feel. The whole thing is just confusing. I do know that right now I don't want to be in a relationship withher simply because it would be a lie. The relationship needs to develop naturally, if we commit to each other it would be hollow, we just don't have a strong enough bond for that work yet.

And so my phone has been off since last night, she probably left me voice mails and I imagine a scathing message on facebook. I'll send her some pictures of me that she has been hounding me for to win her over again. And then once we're on good terms I'll ask her what exactly our relationship is. Its unavoidable at this point *sigh*
This is a little bit late, but it depends on whether you will miss her. Ask yourself that question, if she left right now, are there better girls than you. I hope it works out for the best for you man. Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread, my notifications are all weird and hasn't been telling me that people are posting here. I am now here everyone :)

So yesterday I remembered that my ex who I mentioned before knows I vent my feelings on this website and she knows my user-name is Froggy, if she has in fact been checking what I've been posting on here then her behavior towards me for the past year makes perfect sense. Its ironically comforting actually.

Haha well the great thing about this site, is we don't care about people who vent their feelings(except if ya about wave dashing, and melee vs. brawl). Feel right at home, but the question is, if she is indeed your ex, why would she go to a geeks website to find out what he's been up to, if she has "moved on"

I have a poem for you too.

A man doesn't really care,
his standards are nothing but rounds,
and thus he will soon find,
a woman of 300 pounds.
