The Relationships Thread of Discussing the Enigma that is Women

[tmrd]

He proposed to you and then dumped you later? That's harsh. I'm sorry.

Good you didn't marry him, what kinda person proposes and then breaks up with you? Anyway, glad your new relationship is going great.

Wait, where did she say that he proposed to her and not the other way around?
Im confused.

Traditionally the man proposes to the woman. I've only heard second-hand stories of it happening the other way around.

This is the 21st century. I think its about time these traditions were thrown out the window.

I don't want to talk about my ex anymore. I've moved on from him.

I came here to know if it's right to have a girlfriend that does not pay for her stuff

What kind of stuff is she asking for? Like, I wouldn't sweat it if it's things like food every once in a while.

[YamiGekusu]

I would feel bad if it was only my boyfriend paying for stuff when we go out. I like to pitch in to things as well.

Shoes.

Any of you ever feel like you're not good looking enough to be with the person you're with? I'm feeling insecure like a motherfucker right now.

[stevencho]

Could anyone help me clarify about last night?

If you like her, tell her. Who cares what actual orientation you are. Just be honest with how you feel.

You were obviously good enough looking to get her. So as long as you aren't getting any uglier you should be fine

No, I really think I do. After all, whether it's sincere or born out of desperation and loneliness, the rebound guy still gets the girl. Honestly, I don't care how or why I get the girl... as long as I get the girl.

Umm ya you get her for about a week and then she'll dump you. And she will do it without even realizing it. I've done it so many times by accident. I honestly thought I liked a girl but then later realize I'm just using her to get over someone else. It sucks for everyone.

Umm, it kind of matters dude. How many guys have you asked out?

Well I am not personally attracted to guys so that would be strange to me. But I thought you said you were bi which I thought meant girls were on the table?

That's what I'm saying.

Well yeah, that's what I've told people. But like I said, this girl asked me if I was gay, and I said yeah straight away. I was drunk, but people do say you tend to tell the truth when you're drunk. I mean, I have been thinking I might be gay, but I'm still not sure. I dunno...it's all very confusing to me.

Sexual orientations are really never set in stone, especially in the teenage years. So dont try locking yourself into a label when you havent even matured all the way. Do you like this girl? If yes then go for it.

I'm in an awesome mood.

I come... because I don't know where else to turn.

Two weeks ago, the girl that I consider to be the most perfect person on the face of the planet broke up with her boyfriend. I posted about what happened that day earlier in this thread. You can read the full description of that day here:

http://vgboxart.com/forums/showthrea...174#post516174

Since that day, we have become more, and more, and more close. Last Monday, we carpooled to class, and we had what I consider to be the best conversation I have ever had in my life. We covered every possible topic: her family and friends, evolution, mythology, fairy tales, music... we went on and on for a good three hours, nonstop. It was incredible. By the end of the night, it was all I could do to remove myself from her car and say goodnight.

The next morning, she brought me a stack of books: all of the books that we had talked about the night before, for me to read. Later, at the end of the day, she came by my room to tell me that she had broken up a fight between two kids. Her adrenaline was rushing, she was completely out of her mind, and kept talking about how she felt like she needed to run a marathon. I went with her into the hall to talk about it, and the touching started again. First she had her hand on my shoulder... so I did the same. Then she put her other hand on my shoulder. And I repeated the move. After that, I put my arm around her in a one-armed hug, and neither of us moved from the position. We just stood there, talking, my arm around her, looking into each others' eyes. This went on quite some time.

The next morning, I brought her a book of my own, and gave it to her as a gift. She gave me a puppy-eyed face, told me I didn't have to give her something, and then threw herself at me, wrapping me in the biggest hug of my life.

That was Wednesday. I have not seen her since. I have not received any messages from her. Outside of school, she never makes an attempt to contact me. Never makes an effort to be around me. Everyone I have talked to wants me to ask her out. Even my students are hinting at it. But I can't do it. Because I see nothing that would suggest that we are anything more than very close friends.

I feel like... if she was interested in me, I would see something more. Not the physical aspect, but an effort to be around me. Yes, she has done so much for me, and the physical aspect becomes more and more intimate every day. But I feel as though if she were interested in me, I would see her more often. She would be trying to get me to see her outside of school. And she never does. And never has. While we have become more flirty over the last couple of weeks, there is nothing that tells me that is anything more than reactionary flirting due to her breakup.

But I hate myself for it. Because I don't trust her. If I asked her out and things went bad, I don't trust her to NOT use it against me, and turn my life into a living hell where my students mock me every second. If things go well, I don't trust her to NOT use her flirting superpower with every guy around until she leaves me. As much as I care about her, as much as I enjoy being around her, I don't trust her to not hurt me... and because of that, I can't be with her, or even make an attempt at it.

But I hate myself. Because I feel like I'm making the most idiotic mistake of my life. Because here is the most beautiful girl I have ever met, throwing herself at me, and my reaction is to back away, become more introverted, and cease any attempt to start a relationship. But at the same time, I know I can't have a relationship with someone I don't trust. I can't handle the stress, I can't handle the pain of a breakup. I have far too much on my plate right now to worry about something with her.

But I still hate myself for making this decision.

Ultimately, I just had to tell someone, before I make myself ill.

You should have tried to kiss her right there.
