(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 680

Please stop talking about me lol

 

No.

 

Damn so there’s your answer

So what’s James’ favorite thing to do on the weekends beside missing out on opportunities to be a pirate and capture some booty?

 

He and I are basically the same person so I'm sure he's an avid enjoyer of avoiding work that's due when the weekend is over, refresh chorus to see if any thread notifications pop up, all while either hanging out with friends or thinking of reasons why he should stay in and chill out while watching a movie, maybe have a few drinks


Am I close @Bloodsucker II

 

This is me 100%

I should probably go check and see what’s due tomorrow so I can pump out some trash.

 

Probably a good idea

 

You ready for the week to come?

 

I read this in Seinfeld's voice.

 

Hell no, got a Brit lit paper due Monday night and I haven't read the book or begun my bullshit yet and besides that I have to sit there and be grilled while my incomplete short story is peer reviewed

Edit: thanks for asking :)

 

Lol, tomorrow night? Best get goin dude. I’m fairly certain I have an English paper due tomorrow night as well, I haven’t looked yet. Man, you consistently make me feel ok! Haha

 

Been a lurker for a bit, but I figure it's time to commiserate with you people.

Had a sorta-relationship end last week. I had been talking to a woman for about six months or so. We had become really good friends and both said and acted like we wanted more than that. We would have pursued it, too, but she didn't feel as though the timing was good with other stuff going on in her life. Last week, she texted me with no other context to say that she was no longer attracted to me and didn't want to pursue everything.

Aside from the fact that I was falling for her and really cared deeply about her, her reasoning really kinda hits me in the self-image issues I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. I want a rebound something bad right now. But what I really want is to see a text pop up on my phone from her.

 

I went to stay with my family after the first night of camp flog gnaw in Coachella.

They were like Jonathan are you getting skinny?? I was like idk.

I then later told my cousin about the cute girl at my work being vegan.

He was like oh that explains it and started laughing. I was confused.

ok now after that story I might go trick or treating with said girl on Tuesday and I’m hyped.

 

i need to catch up on this thread.

elena and i have been talking more, i think we are both very happy to have our own spaces. she asked me to come over on tuesday night but cancelled last minute for a reason she didn't disclose, and then on saturday night she asked me very excitedly to come over and it just wasn't an option. hoping to get a couple of dates in soon to see how everything feels and go from there.

gotta say though, really really happy being out of that environment. like, i'm going to go home tonight and cook myself some dinner and relax and do what i want to do... and it's a pretty foreign, welcome concept at this point

 

Happy for you man. How is she handling it? Did she ever answer any of your questions, now that she's had time time/space?

 

thanks a bunch. she is handling it well enough, seemingly. every time i mention i have plans with friends she'll pull a "see you don't need me" and it drives me nuts, but that's always been a thing she does. is it bad that i don't even remember the questions i had? i feel like i just left all the baggage at the door when i left honestly. i still don't think this works out in the long run but i gotta try.

 

Not to bring up old shit, but I thought you were asking her stuff like if she wants to be together and the like? I could be mistaken, if I am - apologies.


You and I are in very similar situations, and it's been very difficult for me (having a kid, and being married, makes it a whole lot tougher too). Being at my parents though, I get that same feeling of relief being able to do what I want, when I want. But now things are super confusing again. I thought we were getting a divorce, for real this time, but we ended up showering together yesterday and I'm supposed to spend the night tonight. I'm an idiot and should say no, but it's hard.

 

im sorry you're going through this. Standard advice still applies: keep busy with friends and hobbies and worry about you and you'll get there

 

oohh okay. yeah i remember what you're referring to now. no straight answers there but i haven't asked since. probably kinda avoiding it for the moment.

you're not an idiot. that's your wife and (presumably) mother of your child. the pull must be very strong even when things get rough. how long have you been at your parents as opposed to cohabitating with your wife?

 

It's been a hell of a time man. I moved out the end of February. And since then, have felt every possible emotion you can have.

 

I told her I loved her last night, and she said that she's not there yet but was extremely emotional about it all. It was painful for me but I have to be honest I guess. Still it's only been 3 months.

 

no

 

wow

these bots have better social skills than some of y'all do

oh hi, Mark

 

Don't shame me Travis

 

Wow i have a message from last night saying "Are you around" with her phone number. I should've paid more attention to my phone.

would've been extra funny to show up/meet her for the first time like this:

 

Is that real early in the relationship? I have no idea what's normal
