I'm sure I can be!

85+ days? Are you pregnant or something or BF overseas? So confused.

You're Clint Eastwood. You have women throwing themselves at you, even at your age, so I doubt you would know anything about being romantically frustrated.

I'm warning you...don't do it. It's more or less an annoyance. I'm sorry I even invested myself in it earlier, but the good news is that it has died down now.

Clint Eastwood is pretty sexy!

/eagerly throws herself at Clint Eastwood. (The young version though.)

I'm starting to think I'm asexual; like a snail, or Morrissey.
As of late I have little to no interest in women or relationships.
And for those on the rebuttal there, I have equal disinterest in men so yar, figure that one out for me lol.

I'm not bashing you Quetz, I'm just going to point out if a girl is saying "you don't love me" there's a decent chance you're either not giving her enough attention, or there's something else going on. Of course, she could just be completely insane, but I'd think even if that were the case *something* set her off. You don't just go out and accuse someone of not loving you with nothing to go off of.

But either way a first love always stays with us in some form
I don't like my first love anymore :x
oh? but you know what I meant right?
Yeah, definitely. I just wondered if that had another meaning to it though.
What I meant was our first love will be even if only subconsciously a reference point forever in what we look for or avoid in a lover and it will shape our opinions of potential partners a great deal. Yeah I can see not liking them or hating them lol

But you're not in contact with yours?
It was an in-game relationship. <_<;

I broke it off with her, then blocked all contact, because I was getting sick of her bitching about me not being a better boyfriend. Not to mention she was crazy and emo to hell, and she would sometimes give me that "YOU DON'T LOVE ME" BS that later on drove me crazy.
eeeeeep online can be so much harder yeah > < Do you regret not being more patient with her? "you don't love me" is killer though ugh
edited more of my post, just fyi

No I don't, because my old friends I did static parties with agreed that she was crazy.

Neurotic tendencies are far more frequent than you'd think. Especially among women.

I know, but something had to set it off, it doesn't just happen on it's own. Now, whatever set it off could be totally unrelated, or minor but there had to be something there. D:

That'd defeat the purpose or rather diagnosis of neurosis lol.
Those things do pop up out of the blue under such symptoms.

Hmm. I know a girl in-game who would accuse her boyfriends of not loving her if they did the smallest little thing 'wrong.' Like one guy wanted to hang out with his best friend in-game sometimes, and the girl threw this hissy fit over him not liking her, or liking his guy friend more than her. Stuff like that. Chick's insane. Another time, she posted a picture of herself and he said the picture was nice. She got mad and weepy because he just said it was nice and didn't tell her it was the most beautiful picture of any woman ever to walk the planet and she was hotter than Angelina Jolie and Scarlet Johansen (can't even spell her last name, d'oh) combined. Seriously. The guy wasn't PERFECT, so she threw that junk at him.

After having seen someone do it myself, I don't think something else necessarily had to set off Quet's girl. If she was attention-needy or had low confidence, it's possible that nothing he did would have been good enough for her.

i'll *especially* get flamed for posting in this thread.

but as far as advice i can give about going up to someone and talking to them be them a girl (maybe it applies to guys?), (because face it, this is where people generally always have the problem, the approach aka bravery, i mean if all your past gf's are friends that you've talked to before and you've only ever gotten with them by expressing how you feel online, face it, thats kinda sad and dependant on your amount of friends, which is limited/finite), practice vie not flirting. just talk. get good at that, and move up from there. even if that means starting at something thats as small as a smile, or a passing by "hi" to someone thats simply just making eye contact.

Well, I was level 75 on RDM as my first job, and she was a level 40-ish SAM, so we couldn't exactly do all the same things I did. I was doing Sky and Dynamis as well as leveling up with a specific group of friends, but I would have respected her more if she understood rather than complained...and then I would gladly spend my time with her. Yes, I may not have given her enough attention, but I gave all I could give. I can't say I didn't try. Then there was a point where I didn't talk to her for almost a month because I thought she decided to call it quits with me. Then she popped up again, tried to get back into it...it just didn't end well.

It was really difficult, because she had the kind of low self-esteem that felt almost crazy, and it made me feel powerless because I often felt like there was nothing I could do. I didn't know what would cheer her up. At the same time, it was the first time someone was actually interested in me...so I didn't have many relationship skills then. It could have been tons of factors, really.

This is pretty much similar to the scenario I faced.

meeting and holding her would be the main way to break that insecurity yeah. Just a moment for a good hug, it means the world to most and I don't mean it had to turn sexual. But in game yeah, a lot harder to overcome > <
Man, that would've meant worlds of relief for the both of us. Oh and she lives(or lived) in California and I live in Michigan...imagine that one.

Just thinking back on it makes me so pessimistic about females that I'm practically convicing myself that I'll never have a chance in real life. :\

Don't try. I essentially said the same thing. Some people don't want to look at relationships as simplistic.

Geez...In game? I thought we were talking about the real world.

We can't afford flight tickets 24/7, you know.

Some people like myself think there can be someone outside of where you live, so why not? It's not like we didn't limit this thread to real life-only situations in the first place anyway. An In-game friend of mine (who has long since quit) hooked up recently with a girl who he met through someone he knew...she had problems with her RL ex-boyfriend being in the navy and being a total uncaring sonuvabitch. Now, after a load of drama between his girlfriend's female friend who had a problem with it all, they've moved in together and are currently setting up their apartment to live in.

Distance doesn't mean ***when you're in love.

Yea I'm confused after I read a few post after mine it looks like these people are talking about in game? I dunno. Odd. Thats so wrong. For obvious reasons (can never be 100% sure on the sex of the person or the identity of them for one MAJOR thing)

Well. 1) You don't know for sure who they are. Have you seen the movie catfish? You flirt with girls for a reason, otherwise why not marry your best friend? One major detail would then be, make sure its a girl > this is not something you can just leave up to chance for christ sake. Falling in love would in effect then become the PROBLEM. Thats how IMPORTANT that factor is.

yeah that's part of why I didn't want to enable dwelling on it. you got this.

As for distance, when my ex fiance and I weren't living together we were stuck in Canada and the UK, 3000+ miles for months. So I can imagine lol > <

I'm not judging any relationship as inferior for being based online and if you need to it won't help anything. I know a few couples of friends happily married that met online so I know it's not my place to detract from.

Online dating is diff from meeting someone in a video game. There needs to be a distinction there.

Some people actually posted RL scenarios earlier. Those are the ones I took legitimate interest in.
