[QUOTE=E1025;36082232]What's the best way to meet someone with the intention of looking to get back into dating? Is it just a matter of just waiting until you meet someone interesting and ask them out, or are there situations you can put yourself into? I'm single now so I've just kind of been thinking about it and places I can go to meet new people. I'll be going to Uni soon in several months, I'm guessing it'll be much easier there?[/QUOTE] On the street, where most of them usually attend to in and off weekends.
I don't know why, but every time I write about it on this thread I pour in too much text in a way too awkward form and make the myself seem awkward and creepy. But in the events of talking about it with some friends (like that one guy who was sorry for me when I got rejected) it hasn't been like that. Unless it's because of that guy is supportive about what I'm trying to accomplish. Neither am I so chained to the hope of being with this one girl that I would let it come in the way of any other possible love affair.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;36082227]the only thing TGG taught me was "english class is fucking boring" it is a good read, but not in high school where you won't understand or be interested in it[/QUOTE] um theres nothing confusing about the great gatsby its just important because it basically defines what american literature is in the same way that jules verne is important for defining the genre of modern science fiction [editline]24th May 2012[/editline] in fact, plotwise its a very simple book you really need to dig in to appreciate what fitzgerald was doing

[QUOTE=Seith;36082206]Sounds like a cheap novel from Wikipedia, so...[/QUOTE] I'm confused about what you mean by this Monetarily cheap, and for some reason being distributed by Wikipedia? Cheaply written? Like, you'll feel [i]cheapened[/i] having read it? Or what
i think he meant that after reading an overview of the book on wikipedia, he thinks that it sounds like a cheap novel [editline]25th May 2012[/editline] i did also struggle to understand what he meant at first
Nope I'm still at sea what is a "cheap novel"? [editline]25th May 2012[/editline] Are you saying he somehow inferred the cost of the book by reading the plot overview? "The Great who? These are probably selling at a dime a dozen!"
as far as i know, a cheap novel is a piece of literature written to make a good bit of money without being a particularly great piece of work. i.e. speed of work produced and published is considered more highly than quality of work. it's got nothing to do with how much the physical book costs, but i can't believe you've never heard of the term "cheap novel" and also, i'm not the one knocking this book anyway!
the great gatsby being called a cheap novel is possibly the greatest insult you could give to american literature.
[QUOTE=thisispain;36086488]the great gatsby being called a cheap novel is possibly the greatest insult you could give to american literature.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't go that far, I didn't care for it that much either. It's a pretty big insult though.

Dunno why And I know it was aimed at Seith!
How was it aimed at me?
Because I replied to you and quoted you
..... I know what a cheap novel is.
This series of misunderstandings has been brought to you by Seith and The Super Friendly Social Love Advice Thread, where [I]everything[/I] is an argument!
Told a girl I was going to prom, asked her to go with me, now I really don't want to go but I don't know how to break it to her cause she's already bought a dress and such. How do I tell her without sounding like a dick?

She's going to need a dress for prom anyway and she'll end up wearing it with or without you. Relax, learn from your mistakes, and just be honest with her. Good luck avoiding sounding like a dick though, that was a bit of a dick move. Why don't you want to go with her?

wow roast, you [I]are[/I] a dick. if you're going to try your hand at dating, at least try to make the situation normal for experience's sake. then there's the fact that it's someone who is in a relationship with someone else. leave them alone. that's my advice, since you're obviously posting here for advice and not to tell us how great your "progress" is. edit: bit late on the uptake, woops. my point still stands but sorry!
After a week of having completely different shifts, I finally got around to talking to the new girl at work; I think it went well. I was going to see about hanging out sometime, but she actually suggested it right before I was going to say it. Unfortunately we could make any plans then, but I got her number and we're going to figure something out tomorrow :dance:
[QUOTE=Seith;36087757]..... I know what a cheap novel is.[/QUOTE] Yes I realise as much, but I didn't Hence the confusion

There's a lot of people I know that aren't going and are doing other stuff instead, the venue is terrible and it just seems like a waste of time and money.

[QUOTE=Dark_Light;36087797]This series of misunderstandings has been brought to you by Seith and The Super Friendly Social Love Advice Thread, where [I]everything[/I] is an argument![/QUOTE] I frown upon said conviction, the court has been misled, sorely, by the blunt words of the truth.

I'd rather go to the parties that people are holding and have more fun. I just rang her and told her anyways, she seemed alright with it.

I take it she's not some [i]special[/i] girl, hence it seems like a waste of time? Also, you can't predict the future. Almost every time I see a person going out of his comfort zones, he is pleasantly surprised.

It ain't worth it, it has been a lot on my mind but I'm mostly overtaken by the fact it is stupid to risk breaking two solid friendships just for the hope of a romance. Not only that, but when there are so many other girls out there, especially when I've started grooming my appeareance and it has shown its results in me getting a lot more looks and compliments about my appeareance. To add upp, I will drop it, but I would not resist if she (in the less likely scenario) were to make the initiative.
