Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
Second response that I've gotten today, and this time fairly positive - perhaps I am doing something correctly with this OKCupid thing. The thing is, I don't really want you guys to coach me in my answers/responses - but I could use a general idea on what to expect. Is it supposed to be like a facebook chat? Or more like email? Short responses or long (of course this depends on topic etc., but in general)? Does response time matter?

Enjoy the conversation and let the response times take care of themselves. If it's a big question, such as thoughts and feelings towards each other, chew it over for a little bit so that you're clear in your head and heart about what you want.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
This is one of the best first date ideas. It's a relatively neutral and non-threatening environment where people can talk and get to know each other. Plus, there's plausable deniability if it doesn't go so well.
What's wrong with something more date like? Though I don't suggest a movie as a first date. You want something where you can actually talk.
My guess? Because he quoted Morph Bark, but was addressing you and wanted to make sure you read it.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
I dunno. Seemed odd to me, haha.
ANYWAY, it went pretty well though she was really talkative on an I-didn't-get-to-talk-much level, but I want to spend more time with her and see where it goes.Wonder Woman (DC Girls in Sweaters Style) Avatar by Astrella.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
I have 0 clues. Like, none of them. I'm hoping she was nervous or trying to impress or something, so was unusually chatty.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
Whelp, after yesterday I sent a Whatsapp message to the girl of my affections asking if she felt like watching March of the Penguins (random idea, since it's on today), I got a reply today telling me she wants some space since she just doesn't know anymore.
This is neither really here nor there. I've had positive and negative results from such messages before, but if I had to judge from her prior behaviour towards me, I'm guessing this should be good.
Unless I somehow have a negative influence on her study results, then I'm ****ed.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
What exactly did I previously say that you're referring to?
Either way, I told her I'd give her the space she needs and if she wants to talk, she could reach me and I hope that for the rest she's alright.
EDIT: I'm just gonna go ahead and stay positive. Not because I'm sure her answer will be positive, but because giving her space will prettymuch mean the same thing as doing what I've done the past two weeks with regards to her, since I knew she'd be unavailable last week, plus right now I could handle a slow termination much better than a quick one. Frankly, I really need at least something to be positive about, after losing my education, my job and more, but that would be more something for the other Woe thread. Which, to be honest, I'd hate to go into.
This isn't so much about this thing as about the whole puzzle, which is a lot more complicated and weighing on me than I'm willing to share.Last edited by Morph Bark; 2012-11-17 at 10:51 AM.

Erm, if so, could you point out where I said that? Because that's not true. O.o

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
*shrug* To be fair, I didn't text her during those two weeks either. It's more like she's been very hard to reach ever since her school started again. If that was instead her avoiding me, we wouldn't have gone out several times since then.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
Well, I hope she managed to work her way in there aside from her trans status. Not the best judge, personally, of whether that meant she was sticking to "safe" topics or not given my lack of context for your previous interaction and the culture of the area you're in and the place that you were for this discussion.
I second this motion, though I must admit, I'd somehow gotten the incorrect notion that you were engaged.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
Alright, I'm looking for a bit of advice.
My girlfriend has been really stressed these past couple weeks because of her job (she's always on call). I do what I can to help relieve it outside of work (cook meals, try to plan fun things, etc.) but for the past bit, she's been entirely zapped of energy and all that fun stuff that comes with stress and working oodles of overtime. As a result, I think we're growing apart a bit (or at the least, she's a fair bit less passionate - which is understandable because of the whole no energy thing)
What can I do, outside of suggesting a career change, that can help this? I guess I'm looking for good stress relief techniques as well as things that can "rekindle" a relationship, if you will.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
Only over the past couple weeks? Don't worry about it, she's just stressed and worn out. The best advice would be to not plan activities until you're sure she doesn't just want to fall asleep on the couch. Be affectionate and she will appreciate it.

Re: Relationship Woes and Advice 23: Answer Unclear, Try Again
There's a 5 day trip planned in January. She can't get off work before then - short staffed as it is. Honestly, I think that if she was actually off call on the days that she's supposed to be, it'd help a lot.
Well, about 6, but yeah. Noted on the planning, we're just generally both fairly active people, so it seemed like a good idea to go to the mountains, a bar, or game to "get away" from work life for a bit.
