Love is a constant uphill struggle. "Happily ever after" is complete bull. You have to work at it, always. But, like many difficult things, the end result is by far worth it.
As nate said, not only do I not have time for love, but I'm too damn shy (and probably not sexy enough) to get me a girl, even though there are several at my College that I'm fond of.
So I just sit on my computer and play Diablo and Metroid Limit.
Damn, el padrino, you're on a roll with the topics!
Quote from el padrino:
Ok, due to recent... events
Was it Homecoming? Just guessing... don't wanna offend again...
For me, love has been a lot of "missed opportunities". One in like 3rd grade, and one about 3 or so weeks ago. Whatever, I have plenty of friends (some of which are girls) and that's good enough for me now. Here is a quote from one of my masterpiece English 8 writings summing it up:
Quote:
Don't you know that true love is all fake at this point?
Your school doesn't have a Homecoming celebration? IIRC you're 15-16, so that should be high school.
You don't have a big parade, then a high school football game, then a school dance after that? Weak. I just assumed that most high school Homecoming games had happened recently and guessed that your possible events was about something happening at yours. Sorry.
While I can't say I have much (or any, for that matter) experience in matters of love, I believe that Billy Joel does. "The Stranger" just seems to make a whole lot of sense, really. That, and I think people have a tendency to rush things.
Love seems to happen best when you're not looking for it and instead let it find you. Usually that happens when you decide to just live your life and be yourself and enjoy it. When you least expect it, BAM! It walks into your life :D
Don't look for love so you can use it to fill some void in your life; let it find you so it can enhance your life. That's my advice :)
My (not necessarily good) advice: take a few months just to get this behind you, try and live a decent life without anybody super-close, then see how you feel. And if something does "sneak up" (and you're sure it's not just a rebound), go for it.
Ugh, love's stupid and also dumb. I don't trust it. I don't trust it one bit.
Naturally, I tend to get crushes on people I can tell immediately aren't right for me, just because of that void, and the feeling that I'm "missing out" on something. But alas, I have to keep in mind that the benefits of being single are greater than the benefits of chasing geese. I have a mild paranoia that keeps me safe. It's hard enough finding time to log in here. :^(
Also ducknerd: try quote marks around the nicks in your sig.
Well, my only advice is not to get too depressed when a relationship doesn't work. I screwed up my first relationship and I felt horrible after word. Now I've figure that if you do screw things up and/or a relationship explodes in your face, don't worry about it. They're plenty of other fish in the sea.
I was involved in an online "relationship". I'd only known this girl for about 3 or 4 weeks and I made the mistake of saying I loved her. Needless to say it didn't work out at all, because she lived about 3 hours away from me and I didn't want to travel that far. Turns out she still had strong feelings for her ex and blew me off for him. Haven't spoken to her since.
Seriously though that sucks, I never gotten in a online relation, there never tend to work out, plus I have a very stange taste for woman latly, you see....I love girls who hate to love...cause they're just like me. :P
I wouldn't go for one. Talking from personal experience, it would leave you just as heartbroken if you were to break up in a real relationship. I really liked the girl I was chatting to as well. I can honestly say she was the first girl I ever "clicked" with. She was my first girlfriend if you count e-relationships.
