Fuck e-dating...

Just be single.  Its easier.  Single doesn't mean you won't have any fun.  in most cases, you'll have more fun. ;-)

Now I am aware this may not sound like "good" advice, but it is true, non the less.  

The only exception is if you find a truely good woman and are man enough to handle a serious relationship with her emotionally and otherwise.  Good women are hard to find.

Hi
*waves back*

So the girl I live with whom I am now dating doesn't really return my messages or phone calls anymore. She also now suddenly ignores me most of the time. She did come by my room tonight and I asked her if she is still interested and she said she is. I asked if I was trying too hard or anything like that (hence why she would ignore me) and she said no. Anyway, I'm not sure if I wanna be in this relationship if it means getting ignored all day long.

To make matters worse, during my emotional diress of being ignored, I called the other girl up. She didn't answer, but she called me back later tonight. I stupidly answered with nothing to say, and babbled on about how I wasn't sure I made the right decision.

Now I feel the girl I live with would make a good friend but that dating is making things weird. And the girl I went on the dates with I actually connect with on a more romantic level.

So I'm right back where I started, only the girls are switched. I've played enough games that I deserve whatever BS I'm gonna get over this. Fuck edating? Fuck dating!

Ah, such a complex species we are. HURRAY!!

You know, she may not give you shit over this. You're confused. If she's a good prospective girlfriend, she should understand.

See I don't get how men can cheat on their significant others, it takes so much effort to get a good looking girl in bed. It's like paying for mp3s when you can just download them for free, except the mp3s cost $10 per song instead of 99cents.

I believe my exact words were "the only way I'm going to cheat is if something like that rape scene in 40 Days and 40 Nights happens to me" Not saying I'd mind it, but it's a very unlikely scenario.

you know i think i give up too.  i'm so tired of pouring my heart and soul into this relationship and not getting what i want out of it.  what i am getting is disappointment and anxiety.  i'm just sick of it.

well... if it is any consolation I have been dating my girl for about 2 and a half years.. I went and put a down payment on a ring.. she kinda found out and she has been so hot and cold since then it is driving me nuts.. *to specify hot and cold* she goes from being overly loving and emotional to being crazy angry... if she is gonna be like this if we get married it will drive me up a metaphorical wall.

To answer your question....yes

Relationships = Expectations.

Expectations = Complications.

Hence, Relationships = Complications.

I still don't understand why you settle for the first thing you find.  You kids are weird

i've looked, trust me.  i'm tired of giving 110%.

[Ash]

Can we just all agree that it should be impossible to give more than 100% of anything from here on out?  Good.

[Tbone]

Yeah, you wanna find that 50/50 relationship where you meet each other half way (or both give 100%, depending on how you look at it). I understand the "110%" because you almost feel like you are giving TOO MUCH to try to compensate for the other person practically not giving anything. That's my current situation. It's like pulling teeth just getting her to talk to me. I'm already sick of it and it's only been like three days.

I have a situation now too. I could use some help. This guy I'm dating is beginning to bug me. For example, in order to get him to stop doing something I really don't like, like tickling my feet (I'm very ticklish, and I kick when I'm tickled, and if he tickles my feet, I'm afraid of kicking him in the face) I have to get really serious with him, and that's hard to do when I'm being tickled. I have to like, knock him off of me, or hurt him badly in order to get him to stop doing it right now, and then I have to get serious and tell him it makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm not a serious person, and I have a 3 thousand dollar smile that I love to flaunt, so it's hard for me to get serious. So in the process of telling him to stop, he thinks I'm joking because I joke about everything. And then, when he realizes I'm not joking, he says, "You know, you only have to say stop and I will." Like, ugh, the first forty times should have been SOME SORT OF CLUE!

I feel like everything I say is being challenged. Like, if I complain about my neck hurting, he asks me if I'm saying his bed is uncomfortable.

And it REALLY bugs me when he calls me "Woman." I was like, "Would you like it if I referred to you as 'Man'?" (To which he replied, "No. I have a name." And I don't?) I told him I would rather be referred to by my name than my gender and he laughed and replied, "Women!"

But even though he annoys me sometimes, (there are a lot of "sometimes"), I'm  attracted to him. If I have to lay down ground rules for every situation, I'm gonna have to tell him to hit the road. So, do you guys think there's anyway I can get him to stop being so annoying without sitting him down and getting all serious? I mean, I won't mind doing that either, but exploring my options is as good as anything in my opinion. Should I just tell him to fuck off so I can go have some fun with someone new? (I've only known this guy for like, three/four weeks.)

And I have these eery feeling that my parents aren't going to like him. Ugh. I think I'm complicating the situation in order to avoid confrontation. *sigh*
