Relationship & Gender DiscussionTHIS SPACE OPEN FOR ADVERTISEMENT. YOU SHOULD BE ADVERTISING HERE! The thin line between love and hate
Mature discussion about understanding the opposite sex...
Need a new beginning, Need new friends, should of made better choices in the past, but in the end you still got to remember you are who you are because of yesterday. Things change, people change, life is unfair but you still got to live the game of this thing called "life" maybe one day this special girl will walk into my world and change everything about me. Funny thing is that I know everyone can relate how much a girl can change you and see the world from a different view. Women always think men want a one night stand but not all men wants that I think if both genders change the way they think about each other we can live more comfortable and not call each other creeps. Not sure if i'm making anything sense It was just on my mind and I had to type it out.
Get used to it. Chicks have a tendency to lie. Well, if they don't lie you'd be scared.
Protect your own asset and be prepared that she could walk away from you tomorrow. If you can live with that you can do whatever you have to to keep her, If she doesn't even appreciate your existence and stands you up all the time it's sign to move on, any further investment will yield negative ROI.
__________________ ⇐ If I bothered replying, that's the face I made while I typed.
Some people throw everything into a relationship blindly and expect something to yield from it when there's no interest from the other side. People need to learn to read the situation better and just back away when there's no reciprocation, rather than just forcing themselves onto the other person hoping that their one sided "love" will blossom into a mutual thing.
Relationships are not purely a business arrangement. Those that think so should look into arranged marriages or mail order wives/husbands.

If you want to meet people through activities, I would try dance classes, cooking classes, or even something like Toastmasters. Posted via RS Mobile
Too much anger has filled my head. Too many times have I ripped out my hair. Too much sadness has filled my broken heart. The few pieces that are left of my brain have been turned to mush. Why must we play love as if it is just a "game?" Is the chase really the best part? To make one another want more of the other, until someone finally gives up? Why must the experiment prolong the inevitable? Or is it just there for us to finally make a decision to tie the knot, not knowing that we may have gotten ourselves in a mess. This may sound one-sided, conceded, arrogant, but it doesn't matter. What matters to me is us.
I met you at the wrong place, at the wrong time. But... your smile, your laugh, your eyes, your hair. There was something about you, not only aesthetics but their was something mysterious about you, I wanted more. Nothing seemed to matter at the time, the more we talked, the more we smiled. The more we smiled, the more we laughed. The connection was there, I felt the electricity. You gave me your number and you walked away, not without leaving a little "something" to remember you by.
Over the course of a few months, time went by. We saw each other every now and then, smiled and hung out even. No friends, just the two of us. Each time, no, every time I saw you my heart would race. Each time we went out, I didn't know what to expect. I liked you, but I didn't know if you liked me. There was no talk of a boyfriend, nor the boy you liked. Just us, talking about our hobbies, our dreams, our lives. I felt like we could've lasted forever you and I, but all good things eventually come to an end.
The last night I saw you I got you past the line with ease, walked inside and grabbed a drink. We danced the night away like no one was watching, everything was going amazing, this was my chance. But due to alcohol and being an incoherent drunk, obviously I would screw up anything and every little thing we had created. I pulled you aside and you look flustered, my heart raced with red bull and liquid courage being my fire. I leaned in ever so slowly to look at your eyes, I couldn't understand you. Was it the alcohol? Was it sadness? Excitement? I took a chance, I kissed you. That first kiss. Your body tensed, but relaxed, letting everything go. I step back, trying to get a hold of the situation but just like that, you disappeared from my life. The last thing I remember was you being dragged out by your friend with a sad look on your face, a tear rolling down your face. I stood their, inside the club with a deadened expression on my face. I grabbed a seat and took a deep breath, I felt numb. Shock all over my body, I didn't know what was going to happen but it felt wrong.
I never got a call back from you, not a text. For an entire month I felt cold inside, that dark void couldn't be filled by friends, family, not even food. I saw you working one day, as I walked by, but I knew it was over, any chance I had of ever seeing you again. You saw me walk in and dived behind the counter, your friend that dragged you away at the till. I looked at her, she looked at me. She had those eyes, those eyes that pierce into your soul. If we had a conversation it would go like this.
"She doesn't want to see you. Get out before I call security."
"But."
"Now."
This was the choice I made, and I did it poorly. I regret everything I did that fateful night and look at it with a sense of disgust of myself. But one thing came out of that, I learned something, don't be a fool. If you want something, go for it. Don't wait around for something to happen, be that change. I live in the past, but I have to move on, can't wait here forever.
If you read all of this, congratulations. Yes, I live in a dream world and things are all cheese but don't judge me because eventually these feels will come to you. I don't know what this turned out to be, a rant, confession, whatever you would like to call it. Now that I've left everything I feel broken, but like everything else, it'll just take time, time to heal. If you think that I'm a creep, a stalker, or something along the lines of those negative aspects, I am definitely not. I just tend to be an overly-emotional person, you could say I'm obsessive, but who is not when they like something so much. It just took a while to realize that getting overly attached to something is not always a good thing.
Don't worry noteenoughasian, it's the process of life. Men are allowed to be sad. Men are allowed to be soft. It's just that they're expected to be strong and confident. Let it out. Not just you, but whoever is feeling down and out. Just vent it here. We only have one life to live and we can't possibly hold all these feels in. I was on that boat. Contemplated life, why me? Why is it so damn hard to want to be loved back? No one cares, I'm all alone. I see couples all around, is it too much to ask for to have another person to share in life?
And then you realize... that there is already, someone along your side, this whole time. Being there for you when you're sad, experiencing everything with you first hand. And that person is yourself. Love yourself first, be healthy, emotionally and physically. Love yourself first and you will be loved back, because people can see that you love yourself and they will want to be loved by you.
