Do you HAVE to be an immature jackass? Is that a requirement for you to live? Will you die if you stop being such an idiot? And if you will, could we try it anyway, just to see? Because you're seriously starting to get on my nerves.

He's high right now with his friend apparently. From what he's posted, Watson is wearing a jack sparrow costume while raping his friend who he believes is Andy Samberg.

So I have a serious question for those interested in the topic of this thread...

At what point do you know that you are in a relationship with a person? Where is the transition? At what point do you go from "two people who go on dates occasionally" to "two people who are dating" to "two people in a committed relationship"? This is one thing I've never understood about relationships. Society, and the media, seems to feel that this transition must be spoken, made official through some act, be it a Facebook status update or just saying outright "I'm in a relationship with you". But how do you know you're there? I've dated several girls that seemed to be very interested in a relationship, but when I brought it up, they ended it, not wanting that level of commitment.

Personally, I feel like with the right person the transition wouldn't need to be mentioned. The two people would just know.

[Mariolee]

I can't say. Basically, I don't believe any announcement is necessary, and that you can simply judge how serious a relationship is by how long it has lasted. That's where it transitions: through time. Don't announce that you want to be serious, let it flow.

Then again, there are many times that the other person feels as if they are in a stage of their relationship that the other person isn't at, which makes it awkward when a guy wants to move in with a girl and the girl kicks him out immediately. Honestly, you just got to feel it out with each girl. I dunno.

You basically just given the answer, I mean it just happens it changes by person you're with, unless of course you decide to declare/ask/announce it.

It's really awkward. It's one of the biggest issues that I have with relationships... trying to find out just where the relationship is. Most of the time the girl is nowhere near as crazy about me as I am about her.

I swear, though, I am losing my patience with my dad. If he doesn't stop asking me about that girl at work I'm going to blow a gasket. I've tried and tried to just ignore him, but it only makes it worse. I think he's worried that I'm gay. Seriously, I think he really is. The idea that I might simply not be interested in her doesn't even cross his mind, no matter how many times I tell him. Today I was with him in the car, and he drove out of his way JUST to buy a drink from where she was working. He even made a big show of it ("Well, we're here. I'm going inside. To buy something. Do you want to come inside? Are you sure?"). I think he believes that I'm suddenly just going to get up and make a move if he keeps shoving her at me. Like I'm just so shy and nervous that I WANT to date her but I just need help doing it. No. I'm very worried that he's going to say something to her about going on a date with me. And when he does... I'm going to make HIM tell her I'm not interested in her, and that I have no interest in a date with her. And if he doesn't ask her, but instead just keeps on talking about her, I'm just going to blow a fuse one day and tell him to shut up about her. It's really starting to get on my nerves. I have NO interest in her. I'm not too nervous to ask her, I'm not interested in another girl, and I'm definitely not gay. I simply do NOT want to date that girl.

He already tried to hook me up with another girl at my workplace before I had even started working for the summer. Apparently he was going by for months telling a girl about me. I had never met her before, never seen her, had no idea who she was or what kind of person she was, but I had not been at work for five minutes my first day that summer when she walked over, handed me her phone number on a strip of paper, told me to call her, and ran away. I tried calling her, and it was the single most awkward conversation I've ever had in my life, and it made work awful for the rest of the summer. Or, at least until she was arrested for drug possession. Yes, my dad makes great choices for me.

[Mariolee]

Who cares what your dad thinks? You need to draw the line and confront your dad if he's getting this much into your personal life. You need to say, "Dad, I love you. You've done so much for me, but I'm an adult now. I'm 20 something years old. I will make mistakes in my life and I will make great choices, and so far I've lived my life long enough to realize what I do and do not like in a girl. If you would go for her if you were thirty years younger, then that's fantastic. But you need to respect my decisions on who I want to be in a relationship and not treat me like a child."

Not those exact words obviously, but you need to prove to him that you know what you're doing. If you have done this, then I can't tell you anything except to either talk to the girl about it or ignore it. In this case, I would say that I would explain to the girl your circumstances right now in a humble way, and simply just walk away.

And yeah, it's a guessing game with a relationship. One day she's holding your hand, the next she acts like a freaking statue. Does she still love me? Is she mad at me for something? No, she seems to be fine...wait, she's acting cold again? Is it her period? What the hell is happening!?
Honestly, just play it cool and try to get the subtle hints.

I never had the type of relationship with my parents where we would talk about girls and relationships, so I can understand how awkward it must be to have your father trying to fix you up with some girl you don't know. That being said, you have to realize that if you still live at home you are considered a child and should be treated as such, and part of a parents job is to embarrass their children.

So, who is ready to laugh at this guy?

Long story short, I moved to California going on three months ago (in about two weeks.) I got a job right around a month ago at OfficeMax, and it's been going well. The first person I talked to there was a girl, and we seemed to click. We talked more and stuff, and last Saturday she gave me a ride home after closing together and we listened to music and talked for a little while. We had quite a bit in common, so we bonded quickly. So, I tell another co-worker about my minor crush on her, and that co-worker tells me to call her right now. I do, and get a bomb dropped on me... The girl I have a crush on is a lesbian.

So, that sucks. But today, we had hung out from 6 pm until 3 am, and it went wonderfully! It sucks I don't have a chance, but I am so thankful I have a super-close friend who is a female who I don't have to impress... Sort of. It sucks in a way, but again, I am so happy to at least have another great friend.

[YamiGekusu]

Yay! Congrats! Don't leave us with just that, tell us what happened!

We went to see a movie with his family and then we hung out at his house playing video games later.

And then when he dropped me off I just flat out told him how I felt about him. He was really okay about it and then he looked at me like, "I think I already knew that but okay lol"

Gave him a few hugs and whatnot. :P And then the whole me saying, "I really like you" and him replying "I like you too" and then I'm hopping across the front yard barefoot happy running into my house.

FINALLY! I don't want to brag, BUT I TOLD YOU SO! I did mean to brag.
How did it go!?



What.

I can't say I saw that one coming. Better luck next time dude.

I made a Facebook yesterday, and I started talking to a girl that I didn't really know well. She gave me her number.

I feel so awesome.

I suggest you should watch this film before going any further.

I have talked to her in real life before. She is a real person.
