I had braces, luckily I got them way early. By the time high school started they were gone, and my friends still had them lols. They suuucked though, I remember one instance I couldn't even get through my cereal! Nothing good to say about those, but now I'm very fortunate and appreciative. All I know is for the first month without braces, I couldn't get over how silky smooth my teeth were.
Supposedly this should give me more confidence. I've been trying to work up the courage to pick up random ladies at work. I saw the prettiest girl on her phone today and wanted to say "Hey, that's a pretty cool phone. Know what would make it cooler? Having my number saved." but I chickened out like a mad man. Instead I joked with her about how she can't hang around waiting for her friend unless she buys something. Which, in hindsight, was pretty dumb and unfriendly hahaha. |

Honestly though, like back in the day even if I would manage to get a girl I'd lose interest after a month. It was all about the chase for me. Who knows how long I'd keep at it even if one did give me her number. |
I'm almost an anti-Canadian-stereotype. I'm always lookin' to fight somebody, even when I know I ain't Billy Badass and Billy Badass is gonna kick my ass back to Toronto.

Sounds like me. And then when I am really, seriously into someone, they're either already taken so I had no chance from the start, or they just don't feel the same. |
Quote:

UGH DREW I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL. that was freaking high school for me. Like, when I start developing a crush for a guy he ended up being taken and that just breaks me. I guess that is why I don't pursue, I just let them come to me.

I stop pursuing girls I like because of 1 of 3 reasons.
1. They only want tall guys, I'm 5'4". 2. They're taken. 3. They're lesbian. So I give up on dating. |

Not only is it about the chase but I nope the duck out at the first sign of issues/problems. I am so used to living care-free and stress-free (socially) that I gotta really wanna be with you for me to put up with any crap. If we disagree on something and it gets thrown way out of proportion, cya.

Sorry but after 5 failed relationships and few girls that rejected me, I've become rather bitter towards the dating scene. |

Don't give up, dude. You certainly don't need to stress or force it but you don't need to let past disappointments get in the way of you being proactive. It's a steeper climb, sure, but you're still equipped for it! |
I've found not being proactive is the best way anyway. Somehow people can just tell when your end goal with everyone isn't "do I like-like this person, is this potentially a partner??" as you first meet them.

Yeah, previous experiences would say otherwise, but being a cynic won't get you anywhere either, so stay positive instead!

UUUUGH. 38 Celsius fever, down from 40 over the last 2 days, major headache, dizziness, and I have to go to work in 2 hours. In and out of freezers, and I have to worry about not chopping my fingers up from the wooziness. Too late to call in sick, and even if it wasn't, I wouldn't dare do so to maintain the image of the dutiful worker. FML

I never had braces, I was told that I never needed them. After a few years of being told that I can see my teeth are aligning nicely. Slowly.. But nicely.

But everyone gauges whether or not they want to talk to people when they meet them, regardless of their relationship status, so that's kind of an empty sentiment. When you focus your efforts on enjoying yourself as yourself without worrying so much about finding someone, then people can tell that you're happy with yourself and they're more drawn to be around you. It doesn't mean ignore people, but treat people as people and not as potential partners. |
I wish I had a date. Man, there are a lot of my friends that are dateable, but I'm so scared to try ;-;
|
throughout my meager 16 years of existence I've kinda come to realize that it's better for me to wait until opportunities come to me than to gauge every girl that I meet on whether or not I'd date them immediately when I meet them. but I still do that anyway sometimes, I just can't help myself. really though I think I've been quite unlucky in that department -- most of the girls that want me I don't really want anything to do with, and most of the girls I want don't like me back! oh well. such is life.
|
My life dilemma currently is that I would like to have the ultimate "friend I can hang out with and have sex, but there are no feelings between us." I really don't want a relationship, but I have needs that I would like to be fulfilled by other than myself. It's easy to find a random to take care of that, but I don't enjoy one night stands.
*everyone ignores this post and continues like I never posted* |

I have had one one night stand and I didn't quite like it. I felt weird about it the next day. Maybe it was because it was my first, and maybe if I went at it again I'd feel differently. But on the topic of FWB, I dunno if I could stand that. There was a time when I really wanted that, but knowing myself I think I'd cling. Especially if I happened to really get along with that person, I'd feel it inevitable that we should be together. But the idea behind FWB is no feelings from the very start, sooo I would just be miserable. So no ty. must resist urge to joke about right hand |
Hmmm... A lot of potential relationships I've had just seemed iffy, like there was something missing that should have been there, I don't know. I'm a picky person when it comes to love I guess.

I don't think I'd ever be able to accept having a sexual relationship with a woman without some sort of love involved. With men, I'd have trouble finding love, so having a FWB feels like the only option there.
Right now though most of my relationships in general are crumbling, from friends to family to my lover, even. I don't know where any of these things are headed and my head is spinning trying to grab a hold of them. :ι |
*sees relationship chat*
/sobs in tears on lonliness. |
Today is my 4 year anniversary with my boyfriend :) So my advice on acquiring a relationship could always be flawed or out of date. But I know I got the most interest when I had good things going for me and was confident in myself and wasn't interested in a relationship, as I was leaving high school and heading to college.

Honestly, I'd say self confidence is great to have if you're looking for a relationship. Because it means you're confident with how you are and people admire and fall in love with those sorts of things. It also makes them feel confident about themselves too, and confidence = happiness. But being too over confident is just as bad, seeing as how you become a jerk. But hey, some people are drawn to jerks. All in all, just be you, you may have to climb out of your shell and feel awkward for a bit, but someone will walk past and recognize the potential you have inside and they'll fall in love with your inner and outer qualities that radiant from you. |

Of course, there are plenty of people who find people through online dating which is the opposite of organic, but even there confidence is key in writing anything that will make people think "this person would improve my life by their presence", you know? |

Things are really strange...

When it comes to girls, I rarely "click"
It's been so long since I had a fun conversation where we were mutually interested Even going out, people have been so damn uninteresting and shallow I don't wanna take an Instagram photo drinking from a martini That literally accomplishes nothing I hate the pretensiousness And forget online dating! Guys flock to girls on whim, yet you're going to allow this through the click of a mouse? Girls on dating sites get SO many messages, I honestly don't know how they maintain their sanity :/ |
to summarize:
interpersonal relations in humans are very much like interpersonal relations in the animal kingdom sometimes you just do a little dance and make a little love and then you get down tonight, sometimes you'll get no satisfaction. regardless, be yourselves and don't worry too much about it The rolling stones and kc and the sunshine band, am i right? |

Trying out tinder again and a sexy man who holds fairly good convo keeps chatting with me from six miles away. Keep me in your prayers everyone.

I like everybody on Tinder just to see who likes me back.
|
IMO I've seen places yield better results than something like Tinder. Guess which? :P
Grindr's really cool though. At one point or another in my adult life I'll end up using that thing. I wonder if statistically among gays if there are more submissive men in the world or more dominant men… I'd love it if I were in the minority. :p |
Oh gosh, conversation about women. Don't get me started x)
On a side note, I have a nasty habit of flirting. Does that consider a player, or as my friends would call it, "playa?" |
If we knew each other in person I would probably call it "making me really uncomfortable"
|
I'd be really uncomfortable too. Even if I wasn't involved at all, awkwardness makes me tense up just as much as if I said it. >>
|
Yeah that came out a bit differently than I intended now that I re-read my last post. Never mind -_-
|
Speaking of relationships and stuff, I noticed a difference in speech in girls when they are speaking to a guy. The girl usually tells more embarrassing stuff to her guy friend but will keep that stuff hidden in a locker under the sea when they speak to a guy that they have an interest in.
Like 3 years ago, I was speaking to a friend of mine while she was sick. She told me that she had to keep coughing up phlegm and later that day I remember she mentioned to me that she would have never said that out loud, had she been with a guy she wanted to date lmao. Same thing happened with another friend of mine 2 weeks ago. I thought she was cute but I had a feeling she wasn't interested in me because she was telling me about all the medicine she was taking to get rid of her sickness like Mucinex and stuff like that. But thanks to what my old friend said, it made me think that if my friend was interested in me, she probably would have kept that medication stuff hidden from me. It's probably kinda hard to understand what I'm trying to say since I'm horrible at explaining things but yeah lol. |
Quote:
|
Wow I'm not sure I would bring up my phlegm with anyone honestly. Even if you're a good friend, why would I want to subject you to thinking about phlegm? But I feel awkward even when I breathe in some spit and then start coughing because people ask what's wrong and saying "I aspirated some spit" sounds crude but saying saliva sounds pretentious so I just say "I breathed in..." and gesture and they get the gist. AWKWARD.

I don't like Tinder. My sister has met her potenial "boyfriend" on there. They are meeting up and staying in a hotel together granted they've only known each other for a few days sooooo..

So you shouldn't feel too awkward about saying something that might come off as weird. Weird is normal lol. |
I don't know what's wrong with me, but for the longest time I've feared having to court others romantically and put forth a conscious effort into the game of romance. I just want my soul mate and I to come together and not worry about a single thing besides each other and our ambitions, but that seems so fantastical that I feel a bit bad expecting it… but if we're perfect for each other, why would anything else matter?
|
Quote:
Also, on the other topic here, I don't believe in soulmates. If there's one perfect person for everyone, statistically your soulmate is probably too poor to travel or go online (80% of the world lives on less than $10 a day). Even if I met and interacted with 100 new people every day for an entire lifetime from when I hit like 14 to death (assuming 80 year lifespan), I would interact with 2,409,000 people, .03% of the current world population, and the population is rising faster than I would meet people as well. Based on those stats, it's incredibly unlikely that if one perfect person actually existed, I would ever meet them. I guess my opinion is more that it doesn't matter whether or not they exist because I probably won't meet them if they do. |
To me, the universe doesn't run on statistics - I think there's a whole lot more at work besides mere chance, but that's a matter of belief.
A lot of my spiritual tendencies lead me to believe that the afterlife is an everlasting euphoria countered by intangibility for the world around you. As far as soulmates go, I entertain the thought that pairs who are meant to be together have been in union across lives for thousands of years, and always end up together in each life by fate. Still, it leads me to question the lack of a soulmate a lot of people have, but then there's the possibility that those without one are younger souls and haven't matured enough spiritually to pair up just yet. Yes, you do keep little things here and there between lives, though you wouldn't know it - most people call those things your personality. :P Ever heard someone call another an "old soul"? I think a lot of historical figures who preached love and compassion were among those. |
Yeah, that does just get down to a matter of belief. I don't believe in fate either, but I can see how the two would go together.
Although one might argue that the person that you match best with will be a person with internet, in a first world country, and around your age, if only because societal norms mold everyone and someone whose norm is "I hope I get something to eat today" is probably not going to have the same perspective as someone who grew up semi-rich in the US. |

See that writing style was how I made the connection to your other account.
Did you know that absolution and absolutism are very, very different words and absolution has nothing to do with things being absolute whatsoever? Anyway the idea that everything should be absolute and one thing or the other is a very classical perspective; not even our physical bodies act that way on the molecular level. |

Although I feel that the lack of an online dating site for my country is a very sad thing, I just couldn't deal with the anxiety of of not meeting the expectations or wants for the other person. Which is something that real life does much better the online dating, you know what you got from day 1. Except irl its kinda hard to go up to a girl if she's in the middle of a heard.
Anyway, just got some jeans. A bit more form fitting, nice texture that's kinda like seude which changes a bit in color if you rub it, and I'm going with the mentality that if I wear something tight, then I would need to lose even more weight so it can be good looking, and not gain. Oh and my ass looks FABULOUS. |

I have no affinity for this whatsoever I sent like 15 people reasonable messages (Not "Hi"), got nothing |

My life is really upside down, but I think I've held through well enough. Our friends here in SC are over us because I use speakers that they can hear and it's not like I don't have to hear their soap operas on their TV either and basically we're both tired of each others' **** and we're waiting for some of Kris' family to move back to Mexico so we can come and live with her.
Originally I had a clear shot at working at the Golden Corral where Kris works and my mother used to work because of who the manager was, but this morning we found out he got fired for sending the nasty to a high school girl... and even though nobody liked him anyway he was a lot of the security I had in getting a job - my mother was a workaholic there and I guess he'd expect similar out of me, idk >> |
I've been using dating sites for about 3 years now, I'm on meetme and OkCupid and a lot of others that I can't remember and usually if I decide to send someone a message I'll at least get something back. Everyone just wants to be friends though. So sad.
And I don't know about around you but Toys R Us is always a great place to check especially around holiday seasons. Every year they hire around 200 or 300 extra people for the Christmas season. |
