Loner for life....?
|
|
This is probably just a personal rant and rave but I shall share my feelings anyways.
This lack of a gf is really getting to me. I go through a vicious cycle, where for a period of time, I'll actually try to test the waters and get shot down. Repeatedly. (I've heard every lame excuse in the book) Then, I'll say the hell with trying and get the INSANE impression that that special someone would present herself to me, and play it cool. No luck there, either.
Don't know what else to do. I'm a lonely f~cker, and I hate being lonely. I mean before I know it, I'll be ass-up in my grave before I get a girlfriend. People say my negative attitude sucks, but yours would too if you knew how many times I've been rejected.
I'm 24 now and I've never had a girlfriend.
I'm not asking for sympathy or anything, just sharing how I feel. I've always believed that honesty and openness are good morals, and even now I haven't shyed away from that, even after all I been through. I mean straight up, if I like someone, I'mma say so.
I don't know, sometimes I may go about that the wrong way, cuz I'm actually pretty shy and sometimes the words are hard to come by. Hell, most of the time I don't even ask people out straight up, it's "Hey, would you wanna hang out some time," or something. And then sometimes, I don't even have the guts to say anything. I'll write what I feel down and then compile a short note out of those feelings to that person I like.
I mean, I don't think I'm boring by any means. I try to be humorous. Basically, I'm myself, and I ain't gonna change that.

hey andy, i know how you feel and don't worry things will change. my fiance passed away four years ago and i haven't been with anyone since. and it's not that i havent tried dating again i just chalk it up to bad timing. the most important thing is not to let it get you down.

I feel your pain. I haven't had a girlfriend in two years. It was a pretty messy breakup. They always say down here in my part of Texas when you fall of the horse, you just have to get back on, but its easier said than done. The really hard part for me has been finding a girl that's not stuck on herself. Most of the girls around here that I've met are so shallow and self-absorbed. What makes it bad is I've got five friggin' weddings to go to so far this year, four of which are family weddings, and the other is a guy I went to high school with. Because I just turned 29 earlier this week, my family has been riding me extra hard to find someone. It's really annoying. I would love to find the right person someday, but if that doesn't happen, I don't think I should consider my life a total failure.

Well, I'm 20, and apparently socially inadequate. Apparently I don't even realize when a boy's asking me out. But it's not like... wanna come to my football practice is obvious, is it?

Re: Loner for life....?

I came to the conclusion a few months ago that I'm going to die alone and miserable. I'm 20 and I've given up with women. The last time I pulled was nearly a year and a half ago. The last 3 girls I've really really fancied have all had boyfriends called BEN!!! It's like the world is laughing at me. What are the chances that 3 in a row have b/fs called Ben? So I've decided to give up trying, I've quit drinking also in an attempt to save my finances and get my body back into shape, as a consequence I refuse to go to any clubs because without alcohol I cannot dance to shite music. Basically mate I think there's always people that you look at and say "I'm glad I'm not them" and unfortunately we are. Someone has to be though.
Sorry to sound like Marvin the Paranoid Android

Re: Loner for life....?

That's funny as hell cuz I know a bunch of Bens myself. Most of which have really hot gfs. Not funny as in the I'm making fun of you and rubbing it in, but funny as in ironic.
Honestly, I don't think I'm very picky, either. I just "think" I catch a vibe, or things seems different when I'm around a certain someone....or stuff like that. As a Pisces, I'm an emotional bastard and I can read feelings rather well. Except obviously if it comes to "hmm. would this particular girl wanna be my gf."
Or maybe its just a serious run of bad luck that either all the girls I meet aren't interested/looking or one of the other 450 excuses, mainly "I have a bf." Or "I'm SORT OF seeing someone." I really hate that one. It's like they don't have the guts to tell me straight out that they have a man. Phooey.

Lol, Cort- I've already suggested sports as a hang-out item. Like I've offered to hang out with girls I know at my bowling league. And even offered to drive, pick them up, whatever's neccessary. *shrugs* I dunno, it's like there's no one interested.
I gotta ask a honest question though. How many girls HERE that know me wouldn't turn me down? You know, barring the fact that there's the whole distance thing, and that I'm always working. I don't mean to sound conceited by saying "wouldn't turn me down" like I'm some sort of sexy mad stud or some crap, but I didn't know how to word it anyway else.

I'm an aries and apparently I'm unpredictable. What's so bloody wrong with being unpredictable? Who wants to be predictable, or as I see it BORING!
Thing is on the Ben the thing, the first girl I knew him and he seemed like an ok guy (apart from he showed desire in helping her quit smoking), I never met the second girl's b/f, but this Ben with the girl I like now is a f*cking loser. He's such a f*cking geek, with buck teeth, glasses (not bad mouthing people who wear glasses, I do, but I wear contacts most of the time but in his case it just makes his image worse) and a gormy look on his face. Their relationship is about as passionate blind, deaf and impotent 100yr old and his 95 yr old blind, deaf and frigid wife with chronic arthritus. He's a year younger than me too. Hate the  tosspot. Sorry it's just I have this unbridled desire to absolutely kick the sh*t out of him. One day I'm gonna snap and go on killing rampage of people called Ben

Actually she is a really nice "passive" girl, never has a bad word to say about anyone. And the usual level of "gittishness" in my nature goes away when I'm with her. When I was nominated as person most likely to be an axe-murderer in our halls (still don't get it) she said I was a teddybear.  I'm only a bastard to people when they have a problem with me or they're a complete [censored]...if not I can get on with most people.
BTW I'm one of the least flirty people I know...Darlin'

i have a friend...we'll call him..Bob. Bob is 24. He lives at home...he wears a lot of black and he's a very cool guy.
He's never had a gf.
Now..he complains occassionally, but who doesnt?
Its not that you're unattractive or that people dont check you out. Its never that. why? because everyone has DIFFERENT taste and even people i consider to be 'blah' can be beautiful to others.
a great personality and awesome humor is key. you seem to have that- oh god yes i just gave u a compliment. go ahead, yelp in joy, do the dance of joy.
It may be that youre just not putting your foot out.
Youre not making enough of an effort for others to notice. that always seems to be the most important thing others look for in a 'partner' 'lover' 'companion'
do you go out, ever? speak to strangers? smile?
when you put yourself out there- even if you think youre going to look like a complete idiot- suddenly people notice you. suddenly you're what they want. and you know what helpS? Confidence. I love it when i see a confident guy- but nothing too cocky, please..i cant stand them.
Know youre awesome and freakin' hot and start off with that.

Re: Loner for life....?

hmm... it sucks... i'm the stupid guy that never realizes when a girl is flirting... i thought i was hitting it off really well with this girl in my philosophy class and she tells me that she's "kinda gay" and that she likes girls and has nothing against guys, but is really nervous about relationships with them and has been with this one girl for like 7 years.
and then i was talkin to this really really pretty girl and i asked her if she had a bf and she was like no, but i really want one and i was like oh... and still dunno if she meant that she'd want me to ask her out or not... so i have no idea...
and as far as not being with people or w/e my first "real" kiss, if you wanna call it that, was with a guy... so yeah i'm doing really well here!

Don't know if I'm "cool". I've never had a gf. Are you talking about me....? lol. If so or if not, somehow you like described me but not really if you were or weren't trying to. Which makes no sense at all. Ugh.

I am quite accustomed to making myself look like an idiot. If I make people laugh, all is well. I really don't care what people think of me. If they think I'm an ass, so what. At least I made the majority happy. As for confidence, I've been rejected at LEAST over 200 times and I'm still playing the game. As for cocky- that ain't me. I have no "I get the hottest girls" stories to tell, which is probably a good thing cuz I hate cocky people anyways.

Yeah, confidence isn't really key as far as I'm concerned. I think men who KNOW they're hot are a turn-off. I like those quiet charmers--the boys who have a personality to MAKE them shine.

i couldn't stand kill uncle, or the two or three he did after your arsenal.

I'm merely expressing my opinions. I have no particular problems. Why do you always have to start arguments? You get your knickers in a twist at the slightest little thing. Guess what? - not everybody's the same as you and they're not going to agree with you all the time. Instead of always kicking off about it you could ignore it. Why don't you stop being so tempermental? You know full well to take what I say with a pinch of salt. I'm only saying it to be a bit tongue in cheek. If you calm down and relax a little maybe you won't get so bent out of shape about it. It's only a message board, and do you honestly care what some guy on a message board, who you've never met and lives 5000 miles away from you, actually thinks?

I'm sorry 'THE GUY' but what gives you the right to say that all of the 3000+ members of Stranger Things are demented obsessive loners?
Half of them are members both here and at Stranger Things and so you're also insulting half of this board.
Is it any wonder you don't have a girlfriend when you're so judgemental and dismissive?
Give me some proof that every member of Stranger-Things are obsessive demented loners and I'll eat my words. Until then, get a life.

Well if I'm being honest there are some real sad cases on this message board. Some I like tho e.g. Ric, ACcordy, Visons, Lara (very rarely on these days), Kane (see Lara). I've been on Stranger-Things and it was like what would happen to this MB if all the decent people were removed.
Quote:

Well I can't prove everyone is but I got that impression off the majority of them. When CC got sacked from Angel there was a campaign making some advert in a magazine or whatever - thanking her for playing Cordelia. Now I thought this was perhaps the most pathetic thing I've ever heard of...she's an actress who was paid (very well I'm sure) to play a part on a TV show. Now I don't know Charisma Carpenter, but like any well adjusted person, I think she would have thought this to be a little creepy and sad (of course no such thing would ever be said officially). It's a televsion show ffs. If that'd been me, or anyone I know, the words 'SAD' and 'BASTARDS' would have come to mind. I then merely questionned the logic of this campaign on the ST message board (it wasn't worded particularly offensively), I subsequently banned and slated by the members on that board. So my opinion was not only rejected by the members of that board but I was banned because I shared a different view. If people are going to show that much hostility towards others with a different opinion that makes them loners because they put themselves in a protective bubble (actually I said losers but I think you're right with loners being a more appropriate word). Obsessive because no well adjusted person should be that engrossed in a TV show they feel like they have to make a tachy ad in a crappy magazine thanking an actress. And demented (slightly harsh word I admit but I'll give an explanation) - think of all the people out there in the world doing some good; Doctors, nurses, surgeons, ambassadors of peace etc.. and people thank some actress for playing a role in a TV show. Think about where the money on that ad could have been spent - could have been given to charity for instance. So maybe not demented, but I do think some people need to get some sense of perspective.

In the same way I'm automatically a loser because I think the Stranger Things site sucks? Do you know me? No. Do you honestly believe that the way people act on a message board is an accurate reflection of their true personalities? Sorry sweetheart but they don't. Message boards cause more arguments than they solve because
A) People from different cultures react differently. On American websites I'm often seen as controversial. On British websites no one batters an eyelid. People from different cultures are just different. I do find that Americans find it harder to accept different views and opinions (and other people's humour flys straight past them), surprisingly as the 'freest' country in the world it's highly conformist.
B) People don't listen to each other on message boards. They want to express their opinion and for everybody else to listen to them but they listen to no one else. So you get arguments where people argue the same points over and over again. Again I find this more prominent on US MB's.
It's difficult not to make sweeping generalisations when you've seen it all before and people reacting in exactly the same way.
The people I mentioned before that I like, the reason I like them is because they offer something a bit different to the norm - they pay attention to other peoples posts and bring some diversity to the MB. It's easy to cast everyone else as the 'others'. Maybe that's unfair but it's the persona they give off is one of the sheep going along with the crowd. The people that will agree with anything just so they can be liked. I'm not one of those people and I don't have any time for those people. I'd rather be an individual than be liked. And the people aren't neccessarily sheep in their real lives but on the message board that's the impression they give.

okay i have to throw my 2 cents in here. hey GUV who's making generalisations now regarding americans. next time you might want to think before speaking about a subject you know nothing about. you're not american, like im not british and would never assume the thoughts and humor of people you've never met, let alone make judgements on them. everyone takes things in their own way thats the meaning of "freedom of speech". all i'm trying to say is just let it go.

I just think it's horrible to insult 3000+ members of ST, many of which frequent these boards. And as a ST member, I'm gonna speak out about that. Which shockingly isn't the norm or whatever. I'd beg to differ as far as your false generalizations and your faulty definition of "kewl." I'd say you don't like me BECAUSE I dare to question your "infinitely superior" ideas. Last time I checked, that wasn't any means of following the fold. And I get along with British people fine. Bert's British. A rockin' bloke, I might add. But an insult is an insult, and I doubt you're "foreign" enough to use that as an excuse.

Re: Loner for life....?

First off Cinnawicca I said I make judgements on people as regards to their behaviour on message boards - hence, therefore, thus I'm making a generalisation of Americans that use message boards (not Americans). Secondly, do you honestly think I'd make such a sweeping generalisation about £240m people without at least knowing some Americans? Yes I know quite a few people from America - and to be honest it's slated more often than you think it would be by them. My degree is also English and American Literature and Culture. American society has been slated for the past god knows how many years by your own authors - a lot of what I'm saying is based on the idea of America being mocked by Americans. And if you honestly want to know what the British people think of the Yanks, here it is - they think you're a big joke. But don't get me wrong, I don't hate Americans, but in general they give off a self-ritcheous attitude because they're American and it's the best country in the world. Where the truth of the matter is that it is a highly conformist society (FACT-look at psycholgical research) who have an economy which is going to end up in the toilet at this rate and a President who is a war mongering IDIOT (and the American people elected him). America isn't any more advanced than Europe really - because Europe has been Americanised. You have the same stuff and rights over there as we do over here - but there is a closed minded view that you're the only country with these rights etc... when you're not. And all you have to do is look at American media, which fills people's heads with the notion that America is such a unique country and people are so lucky who are Americans. A country that is so morally right that you have to pay for your own medical care. A country that has 40m people living in abject poverty. I'm sorry for the rant but this is what people in Britain and other countries in Europe and the rest of the capitalist free world think. America has the same problems and faults as any other country in the world - you're not worse than us but you're not better either. And whether I'm generalising or not (which to be fair I clearly am) - it doesn't get away from the fact that very few people on MB's (this one in particular and ST even more so) are able to shake off this stereotype that I and my society has of Americans.
XAngelsCharismaX I never said I dislike you. Actually I think it's quite good that you stands up against someone who offends you're society. You're exercising you're freedom to do so and that's good. If more people on this message board did that it'd be a much better site, although I'm not sure the bandwidth could stand it. I don't dislike anybody on this MB. But I will go as far to say that me and you disagree on a good deal of issues - religion and politics being the main 2. Just because someone "stands up" to me and doesn't agree with me on things doesn't mean I dislike them.

well, i just realized i missed a whole bunch of messages and GUV, you can't accuse Americans of being uptight about different opinions. We're the most open-minded when it comes to gaspy topics.
Anyway, you can't generalize us, you just cant. Thats like me calling you and every other British an uptight asswipe, even though not everyone is. My boyfriend isnt. His mother isnt. His grandmother certainly isnt.
You just cant stereotype everyone. I understand a joke when its a joke, we all do. We just dont take insults very well, because we're all like an itty bitty message board family.

Ok, so how about whenever you get really pissed off and/or need to relieve stress... have a cigarette... it does wonders for me when i wanna kill my roommate... so anyways i think this is bad... we all know that sweeping generalizations are bad and no one can win in this situation... yes i'm tryin to be a peacemaker in this situation because frankly it needs to stop.
people the world over are just as liberal and conservative. one person might be extremely open to gays and lesbians and that same person might be against abortion. or vice versa. its all just a matter of your own personal views. so what if media is one way in one country that doesn't reflect the views of the nation. there is always going to be differences and we need to accept this for what it is... INDIVIDUALITY!
so here is where i'm startiing to make myself mad and i'm just gonna say this. listen once because i'm not gonna comment on this again.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO GROW THE FLYING F UCK UP AND ACCEPT EVERYTHING AS IT IS! IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SOMETHING THEN GOOD FOR YOU, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO TRY TO BITCH AT EVERYONE AND MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE SH IT JUST TO GET A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX OVER THEM. ENOUGH ALREADY! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CIVILIZED PEOPLE.
as Cordelia would say, "spank your inner-muppet, whatever, just get over it."
anyways i am gonna be the one to bring this back on topic (for a change)
i think i'm gonna end up a sad little confused person with a cat or 50 thinking that i'm in buffy, angel, charmed, or roswell, or a mix of them and having some of you other board members living nearby to take care of my crazy ass

Well I'm not a very nice person.
I was out of order I admit. Just stressed by exams and so I reverted back to what I always do..wind people up in order to upset them. I've only got 1 left now and it should be easy so I should be able to restrain myself. It's not that bad tho...last night I told one of the girls in my block (I'm living with her next year too) that all her friends were annoying, fat and minging and she was the block bike  in comparison what I did on here seems tame. I should probably go apologise.

And I'm going to take the risk that'll I'll be able to compare The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises with each other along with A Streetcar Named Desire and Death of a Salesman . I've actually read 3 of the 4 which helps. Just hope a question comes up I can apply the texts to.

Regardless of what anyone else will tell you, confidence is always the big thing.
Girls are liars, sorta. Girls will tell you they want certain aspects of people, and they generally do. But you can have that exact list of what they want and present it poorly, and you have 0% chance with them.
Girls want a guy who is stable (i.e. money, job, home, etc). I guess that's how they get us back for guy's rating girl's based on looks instead of personality.

Also, not every girl lies. AND...I personally dont care if a guy is financially stable, i'd prefer if he had a job he loved even if the pay was than having a job he HATES and getting paid big bucks. Money is only an issue when one person is forced to pay all the time. Unless they WANT to and INSIST on it.
oh and also? Its not about a damn *list*. Maybe for some people,- you know, shallow no-brain idiots, but...it goes beyond that.
and yes..Ricky is a whore but thats besides the point.

Re: Hmmm

i dont always call to vent! sometimes i call because i just need to talk to someone! and that's usually why i call and then i end up venting about something, but it turns into making fun of that person that i'm venting about! hahaha!
and as far as our "phone thing" yes we had one. and if anyone else really loved me like Kim does they would talk to me on aim and we'd trade cell phone numbers! so there! and you could even get me on msn, but no! you all think ur too special... except for david lol

Re: Hmmm

yahoo, really?...huh, I would highly recommend MSN Messenger. Its pretty kick-ass. Most of my friends from overseas have that and so its a cool way to talk to them...I get to see them in a month, so Im pretty damn excited.
I tried the yahoo thing, wasn;'t that great, plus none of my friends have that so for me to get it, would be pointless. Or...amusing. heh.
*licks my new keyboard*
