Do you have a significant other?

[Daenerys]

No I don't have a girlfriend, at least not until my exams are over (her rules and all xD) but I'd hate to be one of those sad lonely people who live by themselves. I really do want to get married and all that jazz (not so sure on the kids part though X_X) and you really can't let one bad thing ruin it for you.

My cousin was once engaged to, and lived with, his girlfriend for 5 years, but one day I find out they've broken up, my cousin still doesn't like to talk about her, but as far as I'm aware, it hasn't stopped him moving on with his life and dating other people.

Iv had a few significant others but they were all pains in the arses in the long run, the only important person in my life really is my best friend, we got each other cards and prezzies for Valentines day. I didn't half get funny looks when I was buying a card saying 'to my wife'

 

[Contra Fates]

I'm single now due to three bad experiences.

1st boyfriend dumped me after a week because of his 2-year long internet romance with a girl in Scotland.

2nd boyfriend confessed to me that he was gay.

3rd boyfriend I dumped because he was way too much of a sissy for me. If I wanted to date a girl, I'd just be a lesbian.

So, I'm just...remaining single until something of interest comes along. If nothing does, I'll be content to know that I'm not wasting my time.

 

[Moogles]

I've never been married; in fact, the only relationship I've ever been in lasted a mere month...maybe less.

I'm content as I am now, but I wouldn't mind eventually getting married and starting a family.

 

[Ironman]

well i broke up with my long term girlfriend like last week, but eventually i might settle down get married and maybe even a few kids

If you want to be a gamer all your life, go ahead. It means women out there dont have to worry about old fashion scum like you, getting them to wash, cook and wipe your arse for you ...

Best post yet in this thread

IBut then again...he didn't act like a manager. This is the dude who ran a cinema and let us skip work to go and watch parts of a film whilst drinking vodka slushies XP

Now that just kicks ass.

And they're right, your trying to make yourself sound like the victim, just because she didn't love you back. Dude, when someone cheats on you for no reason what so ever...now that bloody hurts big time! Then you can class yourself as a victim. But at the moment, you just aren't trying hard enough! You really haven't felt pain yet and believe me you will probably have to go through it at least once until you find the girl for you...thats life unfortunantly, I'm not gonna lie to you.

Exactly. You act like you expect things to work out perfectly the first time. They never do. It can take alot of tries before you end up in a working relationship, the thing to do is learn from everything and look at it as practice. Plus it can be used for some great self-evaluation when figuring out if it's your fault or your girls' fault that the relationship ended.

fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuckerson

I'm appointing that the new forum name for Tedius. From now on he shall be called Mr. Fuckerson.

 

[Dark Tidus]

I had a girlfriend until Sunday of this week....

 

[Bambi]

I was quite happy being single until recently when I suddenly got the urge to settle down Only problem is I seem to attract the wankers lol. Im sure someone will turn up......eventually

 

[Cube]

Single at the mo had a couple of long relationships the 2nd of which was a complete head wrecker so I'm kinda good at the mo just goin out on the piss with the lads and travellin around...... a good life for right now

 

[Ryvius]

Wow Tedius, your posts are surprising to read. A lot of people are bashing you, but I won't do that. Sometimes I try to be sensitive and give what little advice I can based on my limited experience on this both horrible and wondrous earth. I won't do that either. You're way out of my territory. Instead, I'm just gonna use two words.

Cheer up! now!

Listen to some upbeat music, maybe even some ska in the spirit of that RBF cover I felt like pasting in. Point is, just get over it. In the big picture it doesn't matter. I've already stopped caring about it, you can too!

Anyway, in seriousness, I don't have a significant other. As far as romantic relations go I never really have. It seems like the few people I manage to actually care about I can't imagine being attracted to, and I wouldn't call a relationship with someone I don't really care about significant. I'd like to have someone special to let loose the bleeding romantic secretly hidden in the bowels of my cholesterol-crusted heart, but I don't feel it's anything you can rush. There's no point worrying about it for the time being, hopefully I'll meet someone before I finish my life. If I never do, it'll be depressing and lonely sure but I would have still lived my life. I've cared for people and been cared for by people, and I'm not the type to have regrets though god knows I probably should.

You're new here so you didn't see his posts when he first came here, and you probably haven't seen his own forms. Essentially he's a sexist living in the 1800's and wants his wimminz to cook and be stay at home mommies because "it is actually more fun for women to stay at home than to work full time." I actually suggest reading the whole thread if you want to grasp what goes on inside this guy's head.

Point is, just get over it. In the big picture it doesn't matter. I've already stopped caring about it, you can too!

Bingo letting one bad highschool experience ruin women for you is idiotic.

 

[Ryvius]

I did read the whole thread, I just never starting caring. The thing that makes his problems his are they aren't mine.

More on topic, I did meet one person once I thought had the potential to be someone I was both attracted to and cared about. Turns out I overestimated that, but it's still kind of disappointing because that's the point where you're supposed to be able to say "Well at least I can be happy for her" but unfortunately I happen to know her current boyfriend is cheating on her. Why am I not saying anything if she's my friend? Well I just want to stay out of it, we're really not close enough for it to be my business and I hate drama conflict. I suppose that's kind of self-centered, but.....I'm kind of self-centered. Plus I, in my regular egotist fashion, label it a pointless highschool relationship and assume it means nothing anyway. We "big picture guys" Rarely find ourselves worrying about things.

 

[Bambi]

Iv had some really shitty exeriences with men and as wary as I am, I still haven't written them off altogether, although admittedly Im not far off, but I never gave up after one high school experience. Maybe one more bad one might push me over the edge and Il turn into a homicidal maniac

We "big picture guys" Rarely find ourselves worrying about things.

Id give it afew years before you actually know what ''the big picture'' really is

 

[Cube]

i agree to give up after high school would be ridiculous. for every bad experience you have there is going to be good ones. You can't see a "big picture" in high school its kinda insular. Although finding someone with the same idea of "the big picture" as you isn't easy

 

[Ryvius]

You're greatly misinformed, who told you that you needed to know what the big picture was to be a big picture person?

Haha, but it can be more obvious to a youngin' like me than you think. The trick to finding it quicker, is making as big and as many mistakes as you can as early in life as possible.

It does kinda depend on how many bad experiences you have I think. I know Im close to giving up on men, although i know that's mostly part to my own idiotic mistakes. Iv reached a point in my life where I do actually want a relationship again, but part of me wonders if theres a point

You're greatly misinformed, who told you that you needed to know what the big picture was to be a big picture person? I was young myself once you know. Its not like Iv not been there

Haha, but it can be more obvious to a youngin' like me than you think. The trick to finding it quicker, is making as big and as many mistakes as you can as early in life as possible.

Really? I made alot of mistakes early in life and believe me they leave scars. Id much rather of left those mistakes til I was a little older and wordly wise. I was young once myself you know, it's not like Iv not been there.

\Really? I made alot of mistakes early in life and believe me they leave scars. Id much rather of left those mistakes til I was a little older and wordly wise. I was young once myself you know, it's not like Iv not been there.

You're still young now, don't make the same mistake twice. looking at the big picture isn't about knowing things really, but about knowing you don't know things. Whether you're only 10 years old, or 25 you've still only lived for 10 or 25 years. 100 years on the earth isn't enough to learn enough to see the whole big picture clearly, so there's always more of a chance your outlook on life is wrong than it being right. Also, it's just the kind of person I am that I like to make mistakes early. See, I've already made the mistakes of the average middle-aged man. You know what that means? I get like two decades to make even more mistakes! True, mistakes can leave scars. I'm probably sad more often than happy, but the happy moments mean more to me for every scar I get. As the poem goes, those who succeed aren't the ones who understand the meaning of success.

Edit: Boy I got off topic, what was this thread originally about? Hahaha, I don't mind keeping the conversation going but maybe if you do wanna you should make a new thread eh?

 

[Cube]

@ Frisky. yea i guess, i've had a few bad experiences both because of myself and my gf's being totally messed up but i'm not ready to give up yet. Sometimes the best things come out of unexpected situations. There is a point in gettinhg into another relationship its just a matter of not repeating past mistakes............ although that is very much easier said than done

@ ryvius no offence but I doubt you have made the same mistakes as an average middle aged man. I'm not saying you havn't made any but they wouldn't be in the same context (most of the time). It can hurt like hell when your younger making it seem worse. Your right though it does make the happy times even better

 

[Donald Trump]

Your right though it does make the happy times even better

ehh reminds me of keats tbh

Im close to giving up on men

does that mean what i think it does????

pretty much everybody has had bad experiences with the opposite sex, but most people move on, tedious however, is well different.

i do have a significant other, but there is no semi serious option =/

i know that i dont want to end up alone and playing video games when im old, and wtf is that about 'non-gamers' seems to me like the lamest excuse ever
