Relationships

[That Announcer]

The heck with it. I've decided to give up on all types of loving relationships for a year or so. I realize it would be more fun if I stuck with my group of friends (motto: "We Eat Lunch Like Dorks") and then attempted a relationship. I'd rather be here.

Ahhh relationships...

I personally have never been in a relationship, but most of my friends have, one of my friends was going out with three girls at the same time just to make another guy mad. And another one of my friends proposed to a girl just to annoy her. And my other friend went out with a guy she didn't even know. I have some very weird friends...

So anyway, yeah relationships are stupid until your at least 16 or 17, that way you don't have to have your parents drive you and your date everywhere.

I don't know what to think about the whole boyfriend thing. I've had my fair share of crushes, but when it comes right down to it I don't know how I'd deal with it if the guy reciprocated. I'm used to and comfortable with unrequited love. I've learned to just sit back and enjoy the rush, and the accompanying pits, even if it lingers for half a decade or more. My crushes die hard. I'm loyal. But I'm a family person, and it's hard for me to imagine anyone being more important in my life than my parents and brother. I'm guessing I'll probably be a happy bachelor(ette). I can't imagine anyone falling for me anyway.

I have given up finding a guy in high school. They are eirther dumb beyond belief, ugly without question, or they want your body and nothing more. I say this being a person who has never been with a guy in a dating relationship. But this is the take I have on men my age. There are some nice guys at my school, but me being a total dud in the social department will not approach them ever. I go for nice guys, I really don't see the appeal of "bad boys." But of course guys don't seem to go for smart girls with average(at best) looks. I see myself as growing old and lonely with nothing but a dog to love. Yeah I love dogs and all but that is not going to cut it. I like nice guys that have more then a small amount of brain cells. I love beautiful blue eyes. I like a guy with long hair only if it wavy/curly and dark in color, if the hair is short then the color doesn't matter. I'd like a man maybe a few inches taller than me(I'm 5'4") and I stay away from chuckier men(no offense, I just don't go for that). And I absolutely love the irish accent. I hope to find a guy in college, but the only way I see that happening is if he approaches me. Man, this kind of sounds like a personals ad, but whatever. I like reading, writing, and drawing fantasy, and playing fantasy games. Anyway, I hope to find someone that I can be with........someday.

I'm w/ya on EVERYTHING, there, Erin. I, too, am more used to unrequited love, as it were, and am actually uncomfortable sometimes when a guy is interested in me. (Generally b/c I usually manage to attract just the sort of fella I REALLY DON'T want.)
Also like you, I'm extremely devoted to my family, and therefore can't imagine having to have someone in my life more imporrtant to me than them. (And, I just plain like being solitary, sometimes.)
Cory, ya know I love ya; I really think you're a great guy. But the fact is, I think you're a lil' bitter. I'm not saying you don't have any right to be, but the truth is, there ARE girls out there who like good guys. A LOT. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic, but I feel that if there's someone out there who's meant for you, you'll find her, and everyone else just won't work out. Just don't rush it; I'm sure she's out there, Cor. Same goes for you all, I believe. But then, I AM a hopeless romantic who believes true love and things that are meant to be and all other such things my cynical side of me insists is crap. I just don't listen to my cynical side when it comes to this.
The fact of the matter is, that I don't think relationships are overrated, if it's w/the right person. However, relationships that JUST DON'T WORK, no matter HOW hard you try, or relationships just for the sake of relationships, are definitely overrated. I know you can't just stumble onto the right person for you, whatever the movies say, but I do believe that there's a right time and a right place for a relationship, and maybe a lot of us just haven't gotten to that point yet. I don't believe everybody has to go according to the same timeline when it comes to this stuff.

(The convoluted thought processes and run-on sentences makes this English major cringe.)

My problem is that I'm a romantic at heart. I thought that by now I'd be married with a couple of kids. But I'm not. I unfortunately haven't been in any long term relationships. There was a guy that I was involved with Online, but I found out that he had over 20 girlfriends Online! And who did I find this out from? His FIANCEE after he was killed in a car accident!
I'm just friends with guys right now,but I feel like I'm lacking something.

Erin, what you've just said makes more sense to me than anything anybody's said to me in a while now. You're absolutely right about everything here. I too have had a bunch of crushes on girls in my class, but they all turned nuts (literally) and for whatever reason they go for the class clowns. Unfortunately, my style of humor leans toward George Carlin-style dry humor, and they don't go for that. So, I decided to not bother with them, and have since finished over 200 books (this was October when I decided this). Go figure, ya know?

If a girl likes me, then fine. Perhaps if I like her well enough, something could happen there. But otherwise, I'd rather stick to my Douglas Adams collection. A 500-page Enron book will always serve me better than the disappointment of rejection.

This was on a different page

...but I felt the need to push it up.
On another board I go to, there are 2 couples Online that are involved in a relationship.Which again makes me wonder "WHY NOT ME?!IT'S NOT FAIR!!!" Yeah...I realize that I sound immature,but it hurts like crazy *sigh* Granted that Florida isn't exactly populated with guys my age. But I just want a guy that cares about me for who I am & not the way I look.

Don't worry about it, Kathy. There is someone out there for you, as there is someone out there for everyone. It may take a while to find them (I'm sure it will with me, I'll say why later) but you will eventually. Unfortunately, too many men out there now are very shallow and just go for women with good looks. (It's very sad that my dad is one of these, recently leaving my mother for some new girl because he didn't think my mother was good enough.) And we don't think you sound immature (EVER), we all think you're a wonderful person.

Anytime you need help, surf on over here and immediately many people will come to comfort you (it's usually the same lot, maybe we need a name: The Katzi428 Fan Club, or something). I'll try to do what I can for ya when you need help.
