We Need Your Help!
We actually have two projects we need help for, and they're both related, so I'll go over them one at a time. First, as most of you know, the new site is going to feature a full-fleged PokeDex. To make the process of building the dex entries either, our local code monkey MechanicalMonarch has created a brilliant program that practically does the job for us. One of the most remarkable features of the dex entry builder is its learnset creator; all you have to do is input the name and level of the move, and the program takes care of the rest. However, this requires.... Read More

Seeing as this will probably be one of most discussed topics in this forum, this topic is to keep all of the separate discussions in this topic in one thread. Here are the things that you can post here:

  • Current Relationship
  • Progress in seeking a relationship
  • Request for advice about a relationship
  • Advice for a relationship
Note that you are not limited to those topics, but those generally outline what will probably be discussed here. Note that insults of any kind will not be tolerated here.

My current relationship is pretty strange, so beware, because I will write a tl;dr about this (or probably so).


It started this year, at school. Actually, it started in my 8th grade, when I met a girl from the 7th grade. I started talking to her, and she's really outgoing, fun, and pretty. We talked really well, and by the end of 8th grade, I was in love with her. She didn't feel the same for me, though, and kept avoiding my kisses (yes, I did try to kiss her and it wasn't on the cheek). In the meanwhile, we got mad at each other because of someone else whom I can't remember, but then we agreed that it was stupid to be mad at something so insignificant that we didn't even remember what it was. So, 9th grade starts for me, and in the first day, I see her at school. She comes to say hello etc etc, and later that day, when she signed on to msn, she told me that she felt like kissing me. I tried to avoid that conversation but she always kept bringing it up, and then next day at school, she tried kissing me various times, but I always avoided her since I didn't like her anymore. We stopped talking that much, only talked when we saw each other rather than looking constantly to be together, but by the end of the year, she started talking more to me again. When we were getting closer, she got a boyfriend. We started talking even less since I changed school because of 10th grade, but I got bored of my group and decided to change from sciences to humanities (languages etc), and since I made that choice, I lost one year of school life basicly. I didn't really wanna be a doctor anyway. When I changed class, I ended up being in the same class as her, and she was with her boyfriend for 1 year and a half by that time. Two weeks after school started, she came to me asking who I liked etc, she even wasted 1 hour to come to my place just to talk to me in the bus stop, and missed 3 or 4 buses back to her place because she wanted to know. Then, she told me that someone in the class liked me, and I didn't believe it. Then, she told me it was her *surprise! buttsecks. she still had a boyfriend back then*. In that same day (in fact, hour), she tried to kiss me again, but I avoided it *once more*, because I defend that monogamy shouldn't be applied to sex only, but to kissing aswell etc, call me lame but I don't wanna share a girl. So, since then, she broke up with her boyfriend to be with me, and she tried to have sex with me twice. She's not a virgin, but I am. She took my shirt off twice in the same day, and the only reason we didn't really do it by then was because her brother was home. Two or three months later, she tried it again, but we didn't do it because I realised she was still the same - she's a bitch (sorry to offend anyone that doesn't like this word). She makes out with any boy that's prettier than average (not being cocky, but it is true that she does it) and she keeps trying to make me jealous of other boys that she hugs and stuff when we're kidding about being mad at each other.

So, conflict of interests - I do want to lose my virginity, and I feel ready for it. I just don't wanna do it with her. A friend of mine (girl, not virgin aswell) already told me that she liked the fact that I didn't do sex just because it was sex, and told me that I shouldn't allow the girl that I'm making out with to use me for when she didn't have others. So, now I've restricted myself and I'm avoiding every kiss that she tries to give me, and I'm not gonna have sex with her, and I'm trying to search for another girl to be with, so I can just forget about her. But then it gets kind of hard - inside my class, I've had a majority of the girls tell me I'm cute/pretty/whatever, but none of them actually interests me - in fact, during 16 years of lifetime, I've only been truely interested in one or two girls that I liked above anyone.

Then, it gets complicated. I always defended that untill you've tried something, you can't say you don't like it. So, yeah, I already did some stuff with other guys, and I don't regret it at all because I liked it. I'm kind of exposing myself in here, but whatever, it's the internet so who cares. The fact is, I've only liked one boy in my lifetime aswell, even thought I did stuff with others I never liked them. And now I'm getting a bit confused, because I can't seem to find anyone that truely wakes me up inside and makes me wanna do pretty much anything. So, I can't find anyone that fits me, be it a boy or a girl.

First of all, I would like to point out that I will be forcing Shawn to use this forum whether he knows he will be using it or not.

Second, seeing as I don't really talk about myself much here, I suppose I could post a bit in this thread:

I don't really bother with relationships at the moment. Of course it would be nice to have one, but they aren't something I'm going out of my way to obtain. I'm not extra-social, but I'm not anti-social, and I have my group of friends. Even so, I can talk with pretty much anybody in my classes at school, and as such have no problem talking to girls (I used to when I was younger, but I got over that).

No, no crushes. I have a few friends that I enjoy being around (and I'm pretty sure they feel the same way), but that's about it. There's one girl who I've known for nearly two years now (I really didn't talk to many girls at my previous school, most of them were either idiots or jerks) who I really like spending time with, but I'm not going to pursue a relationship with her because one of my friends has a crush on her (though he's absolutely hopeless), and because we both feel the same way about the importance of relationships. There's another girl on my bus who I've known off and on since elementary school, but this is the first year I've really spent any time with her, and she's fun to be around too. And there's one other girl who has two classes with me who I like simply because she's a fun person who's not afraid to admit that she does nerdy things too (for example, we both play the cello, and after class one day I claimed that my hand hurt, and she said that her's didn't because she had been playing Guitar Hero for an hour the previous day).

I could go in depth, but I have no reason to at this point. Nothing's going to happen with my relationships until at least Valentines Day, so I'll wait until then.

Ew, you're black? :< Lol just kidding.

You should just do nothing about her, seriously. When they say "Sorry, you're not my type", it's the best thing they can do. It means there's still a chance you two will talk normally. If I was you, I'd tell her "When I said I liked you, I'm sorry, I really didn't.. I only wanted to know if you really liked me. And if you did, obviously I'd go out with you and stuff, but I don't think we should ruin our friendship just because of some unsignificant physical attraction of mine."

Then smile.

Okay so here's the deal boys *sits down and slaps hand on the table*.

But seriously. Okay, last year, 8th grade, a new gril came to our school. She wasn't like super hot or anything but she was pretty. I was the first one to talk to her and then we started to hang out. It surns out she once lived above my ex-girlfrined when she had lived with her dad, who is now in jail. Anywho, this girl was pretty cool and so we eventually started "going out". What I mean by this is I liked her and she liked me and she kissed me once or twice which I did not respond to because (1) she was totally new and I knew almost nothing about her and (2) because my ex-girlfriend was and is still one of my best friends and did not like her very much.

Anyways so she and I made out. Flat out pretty much sucked face for like 20 minutes in one of my other good friend's closet. So then, about 2 weeks after starting going out, she totalyl dumps me for my fucking (sorry but this is mature) friendish person...who's name is Greg. I disliked him but because of this it turned to pure DISDAIN! Then, they go out for like a week and se SCREWS HIM!!! And then I was happy, because she was a whore and had done like all of her past boyfriends except me and she started having stomach cramps forcing her to get a pregnancy test which, unfortunately, turned out NOT pregnant.

I say unfortunately because he deserved it. I mean I don't want to fuck really, it's not THAT awsome. I mean kissing and making out are fine with me but sex is not good. I'm Catholic too which means sex breaks some rules...Sooo Anyways, we all split up to go to different highschools. Two of my best friends, Gabe and Eric, and myself all went to one, Greg went ot another, and all the girls including the whore went to another school. The whore screwed all the guys at that school and now has been sent to her old school and to live with her Dad about a half an hour away. She is now out fo my life.

Meanwhile, a girl who I met who lives hours away (she came up with my cousin who recently moved away from this girl's location) and I fought and recently got to talking again. She says she loves me but she HAS A BOYFRIEND and has done this BEFORE! So, I don't know if I want a relationship with her. I mean I want her really bad, I've kissed her only once, she is a virgin, she is beautiful, and she loves me but, I don't think I can trust her. There's that kind of instictive feeling that I can't. So, I am kind of looking right now.

Also, I have tried stuff with boys because the rule is if you and a friend are together for 60 minutes without any ideas you must both default to sexual experimentation, lol. But I did try it out and it and it was fun but not super awsome so I'm not gay or bi, I'm pretty sure. So, right now, I'm just saying I'm in 9th grade and 15 without a girlfriend and I'm doing okay. I mean there are girls that like me that are cool and pretty and intelligent but I don't really feel the need to get involved with them right now. SO Byo, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you right now.

My ex is getting on my nerves.

We broke up a couple days ago because she claims that we never talk anymore, but it was only two days at best that we didn't talk. Now she's just talking a bunch of shit about me. See, she forced me to go to this prom, so she paid for me. After we broke up, she got a new prom date, and was telling him how she paid for me, and how generosity sucks in this case.

Then I wanted to say something, but I decide not to because I'd regret it later. And she's like, "go on Nick(which is my real name), say what you wanted to say, it'd be the most you've said to me in days".

More ironically, I've tried to make conversation with her during those two days but she doesn't want to talk it seems.

But it's just heart-wrenching. When you've been in enough of these relationship things, even if your other gets completely out of line with you like my situation, you don't want to feel hate or anything for this person.

So yeah, emotions suck guys. I wouldn't mess with relationships. If you want to be like Donald Trump, just get married when you're an old rich guy.

Eh, I just felt like getting that out.

A relationships topic.

I probably will not be posting in this much, if at all, because some people who know me know that I have a slight dislike of relationships.

Most of the time, they seemed forced. Like saying ______ is my _____, just for the sake of having a boyfriend/girlfriend. For some people, life seems to revolve around dating, which doesn't really make sense to me. I won't go looking for a relationship just for the sake of having a relationship. That's just stupid.

If anyone's thinking it, no, I'm not antisocial. At least, most of the time I'm not antisocial. I have friends, okay? xD

I don't really like anyone, dunno if anyone still likes me. (Different story, won't be telling that now.) I have friends that I like to talk to, of course, but no one that I really just have to "date".
Time's like a big ball of timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly...stuff.

TE reminds me of myself too much.

D:

But pretty much summing up my feelings on this: Don't do it early. If you want to have a relationship, that's cool. But never, NEVER, let it get in the way of what you want out of life. That causes problems, and problems lead to dislike, and dislike leads to unhappiness for all parties involved. And that ain't fun. Keep your goals in check, then your personal life comes afterward.

You can tell I am a bit odd, can't you? Nah, just pulling your hair. I'm not a person that would get into anything more serious than a friendship until maybe my senior year, perhaps not until college. It's kind of a savior, though. Staying out of things for a while leaves oppurtunities to gain a bit of knowledge, or to get an expert's opinion in on it.

Besides, I'm too carefree to commit to anything that will waste any more than two hours a day.

Other than the internet, of course.

Eh, I'm sure some remember my past famous relationship with Zion. To be honest, it wasn't bad at all. I actually enjoyed (!!!) the time spent, and was regretful when I was forced to break up with her. Then again, I knew another side of her before PR, so people often didn't see a bigger picture.

Also, guys, a real wise advice: Think before you leap. Some people do say "dating is getting to know the person you're attracted too." That isn't the case at all. My last girlfriend had some slight amounts of infatuation that I brought upon myself. My friend tricked me into asking her out, even though I barely new anything. Turns out, everything I like was offensive to her, and all she wanted to do was talk about how her views were right, and her dad who apparently can't wait to take a shotgun to other guys.

Seriously, don't sweat dating until College. Get your school work done, that way in College you can afford to date. Dating is not all it's cracked up to be, and anyone who thinks HS romance is the best is a twat who never saw the dark side.

Okay, so I didn't really expect to ever actually post in this forum, but, what the hey, right? It's just the internet.

Before I get started, I'd like to tell Ace that my prom was... well, like sit-com messed up. I suspected Candid Camera at the time, it was so ridiculous.

Since you all told me your stories, I'll go ahead and tell you mine: I've been in a few relationships over the years, but I'm a virgin still. As many of you know-- I'm 23, making me potentially the oldest person on this board, and probably the oldest person on the internet.

I feel like I'm old for a virgin, but not scarily (Steve Carell) old. I'm not exactly an amazingly handsome man, but I'm not that bad looking (in case you want to quantify it, I'd estimate I'm in the 35th percentile in the looks department, conservatively). I've had the opportunity before, but I didn't take it because of how sex was presented to me throughout my life.

Now that you know a little of me in that regard, I know many of you have stigmas about premarital sex due to religion and/or things you may have heard about sex in the past. These things are... well, at best, outdated. I don't believe that it will take you any farther from God, and I believe that it could potentially save you from making a commitment to a person with which you are not compatible in a fundamental way-- sexually.

Sex is a fundamental experience of life. I know, because no one knows more about sex than someone who's not having it [a little self-effacing humor]. No, seriously, though, as a virgin who's held out this long because of societal pressures, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I don't feel any more fulfilled, or any more pure for not having had sex. In fact, I feel sort of the opposite-- I feel like I've missed out on a defining event of my youth (which, admittedly, isn't over yet).

Society (or any other outside source) ultimately has no idea about when you're ready to have sex-- only you do. Your parents (as icky a subject as this is) are usually a good resource

On a related note, there are a number of particular pressures on women involving sex. I won't lie-- I know I'll never really understand what girls go through in this regard. Not for lack of trying, just because I've come to the realization that I haven't lived through it. Just know that these things stem from sexism inherent, or at least injected, in certain institutions too numerous to name. Having sex is no more your "fault" than it is any male's.

These things being said, it flat-out isn't right to have sex before you feel that you're ready. Don't let anyone pressure you the other way either. If you're not ready yet, don't fret. Sex is not a way to get over trust issues with your partner. Know that, if you're not ready yet, you'll get there, and know that your first time will be special, whether or not it's with who you'll eventually end up with.

After this pro-sex rant to a crowd of people mostly (if not totally) younger than me, I feel the need to stress that you should wear protection if you do decide to have sex-- if for no other reason than to avoid being sued by angry parents.

Sorry for the didactic rant, but I just kept typing, and before I knew it, this came up.

Also, as an afterthought to Spec's comments, I'd like to say that you may or may not want to pass up dating in high school, just know that it oftentimes is full of drama, and it almost certainly won't last. That being said, if you and the other person wants it, go for it.

Like a couple others have said already, dating in high school isn't all it's cracked up to be. I never had a date in high school, went into college just looking to be an academic nut (which those of you who really know me know that that's quite comical), and ended up finding the love of my life. Now we're engaged, and yesterday was our three year anniversary! Anyway, don't fret if you're not dating, just focus on your studies and wait for something to come along!

Well, my views on relationships have changed a bit since March when I posted about the whole fiasco with my acquaintance and my ex-girlfriend having sex. More or less, things have gotten better and I have changed my views on sex and the like.

First of all, that girl has moved about an hour to two hours away and only comes up to where I live every once in a blue moon. Thus, the whole thing that went on is in the past and she is out of all of our lives. My friend and I have kind of patched up what happened seeing as we talk more than we did when it happened. The ex-girlfriend of mine that didn't like the whore and I have not spoken in a long time and I have found her to have changed much as well. She went from being nice and pretty much a good kid overall to being a whore just like the girl I had dated and getting into the wrong crowd. So now, I've found my way into new relationships and whatnot.

Second, I don't believe sex is bad. I have gone from being a Roman Catholic into being Agnostic more or less. Thus sex isn't really that bad of a thing to me anymore. It still doesn't seem super important or anything. It's not like the world is going to end if I have sex nor is it like something amazing is going to happen if I do. So pretty much, I'm saying sex is the kind of thing where it really doesn't matter. It is pretty much up to you. You can do what you want but it probably won't be as bad or as good as it is made out to be.

Also, I have gotten into a great relationship kind of by accident. There is a girl who lives a block (yes a block away meaning I can see her house from outside mine) that I have not spoken too really since I moved up to where I live six years ago. Recently, we've been talking and hanging out and stuff and I really got a huge crush on her. But then I learned she likes my cousin Frank too. But he is a Senior, she is a Sophomore, and I'm still a Freshman meaning she doesn't like him too too much because he is leaving. So I asked if she liked me at all and she said I was easy to talk to and adorable. We went to see the Prince Caspian movie together and we sat next to each other. I'm thinking about asking her out soon which will be a whole other adventure and I will probably post the results in this thread if it happens anytime soon.

I'm with you guys too. I mean, all the people in my school who have relationships are doing okay in school but not great. All those who aren't really in a relationship (me kind of at this moment) are doing phenomenal but kind of wishing we were in relationships. Really, High School is okay for love. 60% of people will marry their High School sweethearts. Roughly 40% of those relationships will end up in divorce. So really, wait it out and don't feel so odd if you aren't in love or a relationship or aren't having sex. I'm still a virgin, I'm not in a relationship, and now everyone in school knows my name and enjoys my company not because I have or haven't had sex but because I help them with school work and just hang out and play it cool and help others with their problems. You don't need to have sex or be in a relationship to be in the "in" crowd.

I really like this girl at school. I'm in grade 10 and have had 1 previous girlfriend. We broke up about 3 months after we started going out, so it wasn't really serious.

Before I continue, i'll give you the rundown of how things work in my grade. There are two groups of guys and two groups of girls. The groups of guys are the jocks, the ones who play hockey, basketball, and rugby, and me, my friends, the ones who play video games regularly and aren't exactly the most in shape people in the world. Then there are two groups of girls, and while I do not know much about either, they seem more interested in the jocks.

Anyways, so I really like this girl. She is pretty, nice, and smart. I really want to start dating her, but I'm not sure how it will turn out, considering she is a lot like my Ex. This does not mean it is done for good, but for now, nothing is really happening. I am trying to get to know her better before I do anything. So, for now, I'll let things play out how they were meant to be played out. If anything does happen, I will probably post it here.

socially awkward loner. always have been, probably always will be. i don't really "click" with too many people in my school since i'm not an obnoxious gangsta pothead. maybe college will bring new opportunities, maybe it won't.

Depends on where you live - I guess Detroit and Indianapolis are said obnoxious pothead hotspots, as far as I know, there's gonna be more obviously.

My advice to you is to try online dating - not with dating sites, but I mean with community websites rather. Those are less likely to have stalkers for starters.

But if you're not that kind of guy then college will definitely click some opportunities for you, and if nothing else then just going out often will help a lot.

I don't really have any advice for you Avic, Ace pretty much covered what I would have said.

I have problems and such but I don't have time to write it down at the moment.

Avi - you can always try just going to events you enjoy and seeing if you recognize anyone. I met my girlfriend at a concert of my favorite band. Wouldn't have ever thought of asking her out had I not been at the concert. Or just wait til College.

Oh yeah, and my weird situations all blew over and I got an awesome girlfriend. To the amazement of my close friends xD

In my opinion waiting is the worst thing you can do. Nothing comes to a person if they don't go looking.

I'm not a very happy person. But it doesn't get any better unless you do something about it. Join some clubs (no that actually works I wish I believed people when they told me that in grade 9). Or maybe you should just bring the center of your life away from school. Do some courses at your area's community center, join things like a church play (okay sure that is lame cause well its the church but you get the idea).

Anyways that is just my opinion on the matter.

Just for the sake of posting here as a female...because I skimmed and I don't think not a one has posted in here yet. Odd reason, well it's more of an excuse because my other reason is because I really just need to vent. I feel like I'm gonna implode if I don't. If you don't want to read it'll be in a spoiler thing so you don't have to. Plus, I'm fairly new here, sure not all of you wanna know my dirt, and those that do know me already know and probably don't want to read it again.

TL;DR
I suck at relationships and am an expert at getting dumped for someone else. Why? Probably because I am too shy and too much of one of those girls who are "one of the guys".

I can pretty much sum up my relationship ability with this simple phrase: I FAIL AT THEM.

I got married at 18 (in retrospect, this was probably the beginning of the failure I call life) and it lasted for three years before she left me stating that I didn't stick up for her when my family started to believe that she may have been cheating on me. (It's a hatched buried long ago but the resultant living arrangement my ex-wife made kind of really confirms it) After that, my confidence was shot and three years later, it's never really recovered from it. I had given up on them for the most part until a spark got reignited and it was going pretty good until my own obliviousness (is that even a word? /shrug) caused her to leave. Now, it's just a lump it and if something happens it happens. At close to 24, I think I've lost my willingness to try.

Some people might find this insulting, I don't know.

Anyway, I'm in my early 20s and I've never had a relationship.

I never see me having a relationship.

And you know what? I'm glad. I don't understand relationships. I can't work out why they exist. I mean, I know why people say they want one: Comfort and closeness and stuff, but that doesn't apply to me. The closest I can get to a reason is the Financial Security you get as a married couple.

That's not even mentioning the emotional baggage that goes along with it. Getting depressed because you've been dumped, feeling that you'll never be good enough and all that stuff.

Stranger still, I've recently discovered that this is an extremely unique position. Based on posts on another forum where I've seen people saying that their almost embarrased to say that, at 18, they've never had a Significant Other.

All in all, I find the entire thing bizarre.

Inevitable, all you have to do is get in relationships only with people you know in advance you love (working out for me so far) and keep yourself open. I'm sure there's more to it, but that has worked for me. And I find it bizarre that it can be found bizarre. The only weird thing about it is (at least for me) how you can just let go of yourself from the inside out and leave it to autopilot. I can only put myself on autopilot when I'm with my girlfriend, and I savor those moments. I can't be around her long enough. The thing is, I don't even see her each school day until at least eleven AM, so that's six hours of loneliness that hurts like a suffocating weight on my chest. But the rest of the day makes up for it by far... Someone loves you, inevitable. You just need to find her/him.

Aromantic Asexual if you want to be even more precise.

You seem to have misunderstood, I don't want to find a partner. I genuinly don't see the point.

I don't feel lonely, or unloved or anything like that. I'm not depressed due to my non-existant love life. I'm not unhappy, disheartened, or jealous.

Wow I'm just like Inevitable right now, though I'm only about to turn 17. Still I don't see the point of a relationship right now and think life will be easier if I move along solo, though with normal friends of course.

My relationships have basically all been short-live but a few. Anyways, for the first time ever, I realized something today. I have never really felt this way towards anyone before, but I think I'm in love. I know I'm only 17 currently, but things happen for a reason and I can't neglect the way I fell about this girl.

I am in a long distance relationship - and it has been going well for two years as of April 26th. People say such relationships are doomed from the start; I'd like to disagree.

Ironically, my girlfriend and I met by a series of circumstances which also damned me for eternity (at least, in the eyes of all of my former friends.) I'll put this simply. My girlfriend was dating my "best friend" (he called me his best friend, though I always found him to be like the yappy annoying dog following the tough, distant dog) long-distance, he lives approximately three kilometers from me. This sets the stage for a mess.

He and his family decided to vacation in California two and a half years ago or so. He asked me to talk to his girlfriend and keep her company - which I already had been doing and really liked her, but said nothing about it because I didn't want to betray his trust. So, of course I told him I would. It was about three days into all of that when she broke down crying and called my home phone (after she had asked for my number just in case of emergencies with her boyfriend at the time). She broke down and told me all of the things he had done - he basically treated her like some kind of whore - demanded nude photos, blamed her for all of his own emotional problems, etc. - when all she tried to do was help. She slipped into a severe depression because of him, and began cutting - something she hadn't done since her grandfather had died several years ago.

Anyway. I consoled her - and it slipped on the phone, I told her that I liked her and that she was a wonderful person - and from there she told me everything, her and I had no secrets. Throughout his vacation we got closer and closer. When he got back, she pretended to go back to normal - but every day she'd call my house, or ask me to call her, and I became her emotional crutch.

My other friends basically said I had gotten myself into a world of trouble with this one, as it made me both her "cuddle toy" and also would get me in crap with my "best friend" at the time. Well, eventually it did. On the phone one night she said "I love you" before hanging up - and from there, our relationship escalated into an affair.

Once he figured out, he lied and said I had "manipulated her" into leaving him, and convinced all of my other "friends" that I was the bad guy. I lost my entire social circle and the only person who was there for me was her. Since then we've become a lot closer. She plans to move up here to Canada in a year and go to the University that I do, and her and I want to live together. We chat on MSN, use webcam, and talk on the phone whenever possible. We send parcels to each other of gifts. Through the two years I've known her, my world has become much, much better. I'm no longer distant and unemotional, and I've learned to rely on others instead of just fending for myself.

Her and I are convinced that we want to be together forever; in all of it's meanings. We rarely have arguments, and our strengths compliment each other's weaknesses. It's just a shame that her parents hate my guts and my parents refuse to see her as more than my "internet friend".

EDIT:// Keep in mind that I am 19 and will be 20 in September. I start my second year of University then - and right now, the only thing that could make my life any better would be being with her right now.

Winterbane. I love you for your post. I think that is amazing and wonderful and think that is just a great story. I've had failed relationships that were long distance, and a lot of my friends said that it's my own fault for thinking that they would work at all. Stories like yours and my friend Elly's make me realize that a lot of those people are wrong and just make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.

I'm happy for you and your girlfriend and I really hope things work out for you two!

I'm gonna admit I've also been in my share of long-distance relationships. 3/4 of them have failed - but statistics indicate that most of them will fail. But I don't even consider some of them real because they didn't last that long.

The first girlfriend I ever (semi-technically; long story) had was the girl that really taught me a lot about relationships and love and everything like that. Meg doesn't like her, and honestly I don't blame her because she is a bit of a fickle bitch. She was perfect in nearly every detail, but something that she also taught me is that someone who's too perfect will have one declining detail that'll just drive you crazy. Her name's Jessica. Her problem was just that she was a fickle bitch. She lies to get out of the relationship she's in - she did that with me several times. She cheated on me many times, yet I still forgave her. And when I "cheated" on her once with Meg (haha, April Fools joke last year), she was like "oh we can never be together again".

I got with another girl during summer of last year. It happened almost perfectly. It went from casual conversation to unconditional infatuation (lawl, big words) among each other. Every day we talked. We didn't connect on every single topic. Mostly because she was that kind of girl who liked girly music like J-rock and American pop music. Most of you should know I'm into Metallica, Velvet Revolver, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson... completely different. Eventually we parted without notice almost.

Shuffling through more imperfect girls I found yet another perfect girl, let's call her Nickie. We met around the same time I met Hannah (the previous girl). So we became best friends. Never had an un-mutual thought (aside from most music, but she had better music taste in respect to mine... kinda). Several months later she got with some guy after we stopped talking for a while, and lost her virginity to him, head over heels, fuck eat kill etc. Soon he dumped her out of nowhere, and RIGHT after that me and her were talking again. About a week later she told me to ask her out (the conversation brought it up, don't ask), happily ever after etc. We had our incredibly rough spots - her feelings for her ex, the fact of her not being a virgin driving me up the wall (I'm not like most of you heartless guys (Shawn)), we got through them until she left me a month later. Then we pretty much stopped talking indefinitely. She even got with another guy right after. So I don't see us being friends again or really... anything. Sometimes I still think about her but I'll get over it.

Now I'm with this girl named Raven, been doing it for about 3 weeks now (started April 19th). And we're pretty close. Nothing bringing us down. No fights, no disagreements. I want it to work out, whether it ends or not. Problem is she lives in the U.K. so that's a slight problem but if it wasn't meant to be it wasn't meant to be and vice versa.

That's all I've got for now. Maybe in a few months I'll have more.

Foolish fools, foolishly dreaming foolish dreams.

Don't forget that she (Jessica *vomit*) was a manipulative bitch who would do anything to get her way. Oh, and that she was severely jealous of me for whatever reason and would do anything in her power to try and hurt me (it's true and you know it, I'd list examples, but you damn well know them). SO yes, I did not like that bitch. At all.

As a matter of fact? If she'd never been around, we all would have remained our happy little bunch. But between her and the other Jessica? Our old group is gone. So screw the sucky girls who share that name. The only Jessica I know that I like? My offline friend Jessica (whom I cal Josefina) and my sister's girlfriend Jess(ica). Otherwise, even the ones I have had the displeasure of knowing offline are bitches.

Can we say with some certainty that I will always be suspicious of Jessicas now? :|

And I hope things work out for you, Nick, however, across the ocean is a big difference from across the country. Just... remember that. I dun want you to keep on getting hurt. :\

Oh, boy relationships *sweat drops* okay definitely have some high school years coming back here. I'd be willing to bet i'm the oldest person on this forum male or female...and if you're wondering it's female. A little advice from someone who is 25 and conspiciously unashamed that I think Pokémon are cute lol. Anyway where was I, oh yes advice, I highly recommend taking your time.

It's fine to get to know someone you know go that extra mile if you feel you are ready (God the whole wait until your married thing way overrated and mind you I was not some slut who lost it at 11 or something I waited until I was twenty, out of my mother's house, and on my own so take that how you will) I have a 2 year old daughter and as much as thinking of her someday going through this scares the crap out of me I will certainly be saying wait until you're ready not wait until you are married.

I do recommend though waiting until you get your life together. Personally, I think it's cool to try things out maybe you will find what or who you want but wait until high school is out of the way, wait until college is done before you go getting really serious. I think the most important thing about being in a good relationship is a mutal want of each other not a NEED for them. I think you will be happiest if you know the other person is there because they want to be not because they have some need for you to be there.

You know relationships are a lot of work and a whole darned lot of emotional baggage but you have to weigh the good with the bad. I don't personally think Inevitable's view was all that off s/he will probably end up being very successful just because s/he will be very focused on #1. But it is not the view for everyone. I have a friend who is not happy at all unless she is in a relationship and for her that is the right choice so basically the best advice is to go with what your gut tells you is right.

My best advice to anyone of any age is put #1 first. I know when you're in high school drama leads life but try to keep a little eye out on the future you know because the world revolves on if things do not work out. If you like someone, if you are ready, you know go for it (in whatever respect you know ask them out, get it on, whatever it is you are ready for) and if not then don't.

My other advice is don't miss opportunities you know if you like someone ask them out don't wonder ten years down the road what if...because you will wonder it. You only get one life and it is full of so many amazing opportunities it is you job and responsibility to grasp the ones you want and let the ones go you don't.

Make some life long friends, put a few things under your belt if you like, get out there and live your life. Keep an eye out for tomorrow but don't obsess about it. You know rejection hurts but the pain of it passes a lifetime of wondering doesn't. If you are shy force yourself into embarrassing situations or have someone else do it for you, speaking as someone who was painfully shy as a kid and who is now outgoing it truly works but you have to want to get past it.

Don't lie about who you are, don't try to be something you aren't, and most of all just be comfortable in your own skin. If you can't be honest with anyone else always be honest with yourself and if you can't be honest with yourself never expect to have anything with anyone else.

Long distance, different religion, same sex, different ages, internet, or even no relationship can all work despite statistics and what not it really is just all about you and what you want for #1 and what you are willing to do or give to get it.

Okay well there's my 2 cents know it was kinda sporadic and it may not make any sense at all but hey who knows. Take life by the horns and live it up the best way you know how (i don't mean stupidly, I just mean don't miss opportunities you will regret)

**joking wonders if she can tell her daughter babies come from Pokémon eggs?** j/k really life shouldn't be all serious and no fun but a nice balance of the two.

To be normal is to be perfect. To be perfect is to be inhuman.

Df is here for a good ol Round Two with the relationships. This time with a twist or two.

Okay then so let's start off with how things got started. Last year I began to like one of my good friends, lets call her K. Anyways she was a pretty good friend but something happened as we hit high school and our group began to drift apart, well at least the guys did, and one by one each guy left until I was the last one left with a group of six girls, so I had no chance to do anything to tell her.

But eventually I manned up and told her. Not face to face but by e-mail which for me is rather difficult. Anyways she said she was glad I told her and such but she didn't like me in that way and she liked me as a friend. Unfortunately I think something happened there that messed everything up.

When we got back to school (this year of school) we started off badly, and it only got worse as the year went on. Had I not been in her PE class things would have been done for even sooner. Anyways now onto further things. I tried to get my mind off of her and stop liking her I mean she rejected me, what chance did I have but I just couldn't do anything she was stuck in my head permanently.

Anyways so PE ended and we had no classes together anymore, but I had found out a couple weeks before the end of first semester which ended PE one of my new found friends who I would trust with my life liked her. I pretended to not like her and told him to go for me, because hey if she's taken then it should help me get over her.

Alas it was not meant to be as she said no. So then I'm in a hard place, she's single and one of my best friends likes her and I still like her. So what am I to do now? I shrug it off and wait a couple months before I mention it to him and ask if I can go for it. I lie of course and say I only started liking her after he did, and he tells me to go for it.

So now I can go for it, but we've drifted so far apart and I want to repair our friendship, but what if I ask her out and it ruins it? That was my big dilemma so I never asked her and here we are now in the summer. I live on one side of the city she lives about twenty to thirty minutes from my house by car. Thus the only way I can talk to her is by phone or facebook. I don't have her phone number and she is rarely on facebook.

So anyways when I get back to school I have four options.
1. Ask her out right away and don't try to fix our friendship and hope she says yes.
2. Become better friends with her then ask her out and hope she says yes, and if not that we stay good friends.
3. Become better friends and not ask her out and save our friendship from possible destruction.
4. Do nothing and live life as I am right now.

So any opinions on what I should do?

Dragonfire-C is the only good option in this situation. Once that friendship is strong again, maybe you can slowly work on turning that friendship into a relationship.

WTH? He said 1-4, not A-D.

I found this on the internet not too long ago, and I stared at this picture for maybe half an hour.
Spoiler: click to toggle
I was thinking "Is it?" Many of you have read my topic in Mature Discussion, and some of you might be thinking "Well, Sin. You should know the answer to this."

(Hmm... Link appears to be sometimes dead. Picture of a guy and a girl, obviously not in a relationship, but you can tell he's at least thinking about it. text reads: "The Friend Zone. Keep Telling Yourself it is Better than Nothing.")

Heh, I don't. I have no idea if it is better than nothing or not. Long story short. I asked out my best friend (girl) and we didnt really have a relationship really. We had the title of boyfriend and girlfriend, but by no means were we. I eventually wanted more (more being to like hold her hand once a week, or buy her dinner once a year or something). Two months later, I told her I loved her and she broke up with me and hasn't spoken to me since. After a whole lot of input from loads of people at the site, I've come to the conclusion that she was just really weird. But are normal girls like that too?

DF, follow your heart. And really think about that demotivational poster. Maybe the friend zone is better than nothing, but maybe thats just because the friend zone was better than the relationship zone in my case.

Trying to be friends again while really liking someone is tough. One of my close friends from my first year of high school ended up distancing herself from me intentionally to avoid awkwardness, when I told her I liked her. This was a while before I fell in love with my beloved. (who I hope to marry eventually, we've been together for almost two and a half years now.) But the point is, its hard to rebuild a friendship when something that awkward happens....

Try being afraid of ruining a friendship (twice recently) in lieu of wanting something more. In one case it was too soon... in another case... it was too late.

The second case, Brian, hurts. I never should have waited. I should have been true to myself and let him know sooner. I learned my lesson I guess. He deserves better than me anyway. He's a great guy. A really great guy, I don't hold it against him... it's all my fault for being an idiot.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else. But so, this morning a good friend of mine told me that my girlfriend was afraid I wanted to break up with her. And then I was like "What time was this at?" and he told me it was like yesterday afternoon. So I resolved to just ask my girlfriend and as I understood it, my friend meant MY girlfriend had said it. So then today, I called her in the morning and no one answered. I tried a while later and then still, the same response. A few hours later I finally got to talk to her and we talked. She said that on the message I left I sounded like a Jerk. Turns out, she had been talking to my friend's girlfriend and she said, "I don't want to break up with Max," and my girlfriend also said, "We just fight a lot which is kind of annoying." My friend's girlfriend took it as that my girlfriend was saying that she was "afraid I wanted to break up with her". So it turns out that my friend's girlfriend told him that and then he told me and then I got angry and talked to my girlfriend and she was like, "What the hell are you talking about? You got it all wrong." And so then we worked it all out. She is still a bit angry because I was jerk but we both understand that it was my friend's girlfriend's fault.

Fun eh?

Fighting escalated to a point neither my girlfriend or I liked. Our perfect relationship is now nearly ruined. So to save it, my girlfriend told me we need a 5 day break. We are not broken up, she said she doesn't want to break up with me. We can just not speak at all (RL, Phone, text, etc.) for 5 days. We both want it to work but I didn't want this to happen. I feel like utter shit...Well, I suppose I just need to wait and hope things get better.

Alright, I really need some advice. So, I really like this girl, named Kristen, but she doesn't really notice me. I really want to ask her out, but I am scared to. She is pretty, nice, and smart and I really want to be with her, but I'm not exactly top notch, and we seem to be complete opposites. Kristen is athletic, pretty, and popular, and I am out of shape, average, and an outcast (as in, I only have a few friends, and most if not all aren't in the same kind of group she is in). So, basically, I really like a girl that is nothing like me, and have no idea what will happen if I ask her out. So, what do you guys think I should do? Any help will be appreciated.

Find out what will happen and just ask her out?

Idk, seems like the simpliest approach. Only bad thing that can happen is she can say no, right?

While I do suppose you are right, someone who is completely different from me doesn't seem very likely to say yes. This is, I suppose, my main concern.

Have you really even spoken to her? Like is she in your circle of friends? If (I was single at the time and) a girl I didn't know asked me out, I'd probably say no, regardless of who she was, just under the circumstances of the asking out.

No, we don't really talk, and no, she's not in my circle of friends, but it's not like she doesn't know who I am. We are in the same class, same grade, etc. I guess what I'm saying is we know each other, but not very well (to my disappointment).

I say if you can get ballzy enough to try, then go for it. If you don't then just say you were playing it safe. No shame in being single.

Hebichan: The Spread of Syphilis in Europe, as written by Dr. Richard Gordon:
The Spaniards gave it to the Neopolitans, who called it the Spanish disease, who gave it to the French, who called it the Neopolitan disease and gave it to everybody. In the scurry to share the blame, the Poles called it the German disease and vice versa, the English (naturally) called it the French disease, and anyone short of foreign suspects could call it the Turkish disease, because the Turks had everything.
