Relationship Woes and Advice

I still like her, and it's looking as though she still likes me at least a little, she's even willing to talk to me when her dad's around, but I don't know how to act. I'm really awkward around her now. So to end... HELP?!?!?!

You have to realize that this girl does not want to be in a relationship with you beyond basic friendship. Accept that this is all you will get from her and move on!!.

[Koga]

It appears most girls just don't know what the hell they want.

About 3/4ths of the ones The Koga meets are paranoid psychopaths who think The Koga's going to pull an American Psycho on them and shoot them in a nailgaun while they read one of his many political books.

The other 1/4th are just closet-promiscues and happend to catch The Koga at the time they were in the mood to spread thier legs. Nothing feels better then rejecting these vermin.


Sometimes The Koga wishes he were homosexual, maybe then the dating scene wouldn't be so aggarvating. Guys are less complex, which is a nicer way of saying they're not completely out of thier minds.

I think it would be best in this situation to just stay friends if you can. It looks borderline stalkerish to me. Moving on isn't always easy, but it's not impossible.

A lot of my friends are girls, and at times I've found myself talking to them about someone who likes them, but they want nothing to do with like that. They usually just want to stay friends.

I don't think guys are any more simple than girls. I don't understand half the crap some of my male friends do. People in general are confusing and don't really know what they want. Just roll with it all and see how it turns out.

If you are going to have a reference, you might want to pick one that is either not tasteless, or one that is more likely to be noticed. That one was neither.

I think it has less to do with his sense of humor and more about the whole you poking fun at him.

Yes, because all humor that is not all serious, intellectual humor is bad

It was a general statement, not directed at him necessarily. If he took it as an insult he needs to not be so self-involved.

Yeah, I can DEFINITELY see how directly quoting him and then making a statement could somehow be misconstrued as a general statement not necessarily directed at him...


Anyways, how about some Woes and Advice?

Lighten up. Its a joke. I don't see how its the "rudest thing ever." I can understand if you don't think its funny, but to get this worked up about it is a little extreme.

I am not sure I understand your meaning here. Would you care to clarify?

[sktarq]

How about we just let this subject die a natural death and get back to business at hand.

[Alarra]

Mod Goddess: Okay...I'm bringing this thread back. Stay away from sexually explicit discussions and imagery and play nice and it won't have to go away again.

[Zeb The Troll]

Happiness for the return!

Sadness for the need for scrubbing bubbles.

Play nice, folks, please?

Thank you, Alarra, for taking on the task of the scrubbing.

Here's a question for you; how do you (by phone) comfort someone whose pet rabbit has died?

[Serpentine]

Um... make sympathetic noises and help them reminiss (how the hell do you spell that?!) about all the good times they had together?

[The Great Skenardo]

Reminisce, I believe.

Hm. I guess. Sounds...artificial, though.

[Zeb The Troll]

Um... make sympathetic noises and help them reminiss (how the hell do you spell that?!) about all the good times they had together?

reminisce

I'd say just be an ear for whatever they want to say and occasionally give a sincere, understanding response. By phone makes it tougher, for sure.

Try and get their mind off it and onto other good things?

Um... make sympathetic noises and help them reminiss (how the hell do you spell that?!) about all the good times they had together?

And make sure they can't hear you firing up the grill.

[Ranis]

Buy them a new rabbit!

[Albonor]

Do NOT make any "Of Mice and Men" references about rabbits...

[Zeb The Troll]

You could tell them the story of Hazel-ra and how he saved his clan and then ascended to be a rabbit god.

[Madmal]

don't put me on the phone.

(yes, something like that has happened to me; also, rabbits are delicious... )

[Syka]

Ok, I'm really very happy that this is brought back. Yay! I'm going to be putting some base rules up on the first page. One of which will be...if you have a question of sexual nature, PM one of us.

Am I right assuming that none of the regular posters mind being PM'ed?

Cheers,
Syka

[Serpentine]

Nope. Though I'm struggling to keep my inbox under 90%... people are welcome to use my email address, too. Don't forget to tell me your username, though.

[zeratul]

PM away people.

[Zeb The Troll]

Please add me to those willing to receive a PM. I'll also accept an email, just include your username in the title, or at least mention GitP so that I don't trash it without reading it.

[Alarra]

I'm fine to be pm'd or emailed also.
