Thanks guys! Truly this thread feels super friendly and very social. [editline]29th May 2012[/editline] Uh, I made it a habit to never text anyone. She gave me a number a while back, shall I start texting? Honestly, texting for me is the most redundant way of talking.

Guh. Maybe I can start off with "Hey, what's up?" and then follow with a "yeah i'm nm too". But honestly, I could probably start off with small talk. What is your definition of sly? I am all too curious. [editline]29th May 2012[/editline] and thanks for the feed back. Texting is definitely not my forte, and my guile in the act is the equivalent of a man in his late forties trying to be hip.

There's nothing wrong with coming off as interested, and if that kind of style isn't how you are around her or around anyone in general, then forget it, just start a conversation with her like you normally would. Hell, if you can stomach it and you don't think you'll interrupt something she's doing, try calling her.
You, sir, are a true gent. Off I go then!
[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;36108616]shit, i should probably play nba2k12 against my girlfriend to decide whether this relationship is even worth continuing[/QUOTE] I only have nba2k11 Is it still accurate enough or do I need to upgrade?
[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;36127830]I only have nba2k11 Is it still accurate enough or do I need to upgrade?[/QUOTE] 2k12 wasnt much of an upgrade in my opinion in fact in some ways I'd say I enjoyed gameplay in 2k11 more [editline]30th May 2012[/editline] so I guess the answer would be yes, go for it man!
Oh shit, you're supposed to use NBA? I've been using Blops. So that's why they keep running away...

Wordfeud is pretty cool too, especially because it has a chat. There's this girl from Sweden that I'm pretty good friends with, we've never met but we talk a lot over Skype and such. When says she's going to bed, she always appears on wordfeud :v
So, just wanna throw out some questions, I guess. Dunno if many people will be in a position to answer them (or if I would be, more so) but - any tips for a long-term relationship? Not how to get one or whatever, I have one, and we're both very much in love and it's wonderful and strong, etc. Essentially, I'm just curious to know what I'm maybe doing wrong, or doing right. Might be too vague of me, but I'm tired and going to sleep.
uh if it's something that won't matter a year from now, it's not worth getting emotional over it

And make sure that none of you expect things from each other, that you're not aware of.
Saturday night is going to be awesome. Going out with a bunch of friends to celebrate graduation. Beats last Saturday when I got drank by myself. At least I wasn't alone, as that couple (that couple you people in this thread have told me to back off from) came for a visit.
[QUOTE=thisispain;36128753]uh if it's something that won't matter a year from now, it's not worth getting emotional over it[/QUOTE] I like that a lot. Yeah, thanks. I will remember that one. We don't really get upset with each other very much or it resolves pretty quickly, but I like that regardless.
Captain's Log, Star date 2012: Today I spent about an hour on the phone talking to that girl from work. Apparently she also works at the (tiny) art museum downtown, her dad is a pastor, and she wants to teach children in Africa. Also yesterday she invited me to stalk her :pwn:
Just having a discussion on facebook about how generally women were more picky that men when it comes to guys. As an example, one of my female friends posted all the things she looked for in a guy. Another of my friends pointed out I fit everything in it (apart from vegetarian). Neither of us are interested, just posted this because it seemed the most appropriate place to say it.
[QUOTE=NeonpieDFTBA;36133727]Neither of us are interested.[/QUOTE] yes you are otherwise you wouldnt have cared about your friends small comment
OK guys, I have a problem that isn't actually a relationship thing. I had parked my car and was putting money in the meter earlier today, when I heard this woman yelling at her 12 year-old daughter. I mean, she wasn't treating her like her daughter, it was more like an annoying friend's kid that had gone one step too far. She was yelling things like "your opinion doesn't matter, you're 11!" When the girl corrected her by saying she was 12, the mother got angrier. Long story short, the woman's a bitch and the daughter didn't deserve it. Eventually, they walk by me and I don't say anything about it. The mother is still yelling at the daughter and I made momentary eye contact with the daughter and I still didn't say anything. I felt and still feel awful. I know it isn't my place to intervene in people's parenting methods (however idiotic and childish they might be), but this was absurd. Maybe it's because of how I was raised and the relationship my parents and I have, but I really wanted to do something and the fact that I didn't is bugging me. So FP, do you think I should have said something or was my silence not as bad as I'm making it out to be?
It would have been weird for a stranger to intervene on a 12 year old girl's behalf. And you would have just pissed the mother off more by doing so. Bad parents are what they are, it sucks to be the kid in that case but at the same time it's really none of your business if someone is being a shitty parent. No help for it

No help for it[/QUOTE] Yeah, I guess that makes sense and to be honest, that's what I was thinking too. If it was somebody I knew, like a friend, that would have changed it, but I had never met these people. It still sucks because the parent was just awful and the girl wasn't like her at all. I guess we can only hope she grows up to be a better person.
Well, and to be honest, you didn't really know the context of the previous conversation, so I don't think it's entirely fair to pass judgement purely based on how the parent was that moment. I mean, my mom has come off as downright evil, but that's when I've done something particularly shitty.
I saw That Girl in town today, got a hug. Feels good man Also I'm still not sure what she meant by the bit about stalking her

Granted, I'm young and don't live with a kid, so my reality isn't exactly like hers. I guess I can understand where she might have come from, but I think the white knight inside me was bugging me more than he should have been.
[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;36138036]I saw That Girl in town today, got a hug.

I mean, it's nice that you care, but ultimately it's just not your kid. You shouldn't have more authority over a child than their parent does, not in this case. Also, I got chewed the fuck out when I was 12 and younger, repeatedly. Like, screaming, spitting, angry tears, getting slapped in the face chewed-the-fuck-out. There's justification. Just because you weren't raised that way doesn't mean other people haven't been.
More people need to give their PLI's descriptive nicknames, so I can know who you're actually talking about. ala Hot Coffee Girl Cute Well-Spoken Girl Red Dress Girl [editline]31st May 2012[/editline] OH, and check it! This museum has got to be the coolest place I've ever seen. I am definitely without a doubt going soon, because there is just no way to go there without having a blast! Look at the pictures of this museum: [img]http://citymuseum.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/roof1.jpg[/img] That's the [I]roof[/I]! There's a Ferris wheel up there! On the roof! [img]http://citymuseum.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/monstro-01.jpg[/img] A-WOAH! Look at all those crazy ass things to do! [img]http://citymuseum.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Picture-0621.jpg[/img] It's both educational [I]and[/I] artistically moving! [img]http://citymuseum.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/1_aquarium.jpg[/img] There's an aquarium! AN AQUARIUM! [img]http://citymuseum.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/architecture-460x276.jpg[/img] In addition to being a gigantic playground, it's also a legitimate museum featuring architectural and sculptural works! In fact, the entire museum is, in itself, a gigantic piece of assemblage art! What kind of crazy place is this? [img]http://citymuseum.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/mezwoods.jpg[/img] Another cool exhibit. I could keep posting pictures all night. There are so many. It's just such an incredible place. It appeals to your inner child, because the entire museum is filled with tunnels and passageways and hidden rooms and adventure and things to explore, but it's also appealing to adults just because the building is so beautifully made, and there are shops and eateries and exhibits to see! The museum stays open until midnight on weekends, specifically for adult crowds to come in and have a good time. Would it make me a total dork to take a lady here on a first date? I haven't been there for years and years, but I remember being totally wowed by the building.
There is this new girl at my work, who I think may like me slightly. Sometimes I glance over and it seems like she looks away immediately, but I can't tell if she was actually looking at me, or if I'm just subconsciously hoping she was looking at me. Basically, anything she does I'm not sure if its a subtle sign, or if it's my brain just wants me to think it means something. There have been a few girls I've worked with who showed no signs until one day I suddenly found out they really liked me. Maybe I should just wait and see what happens.
It reminds me of the Carnegie science museum in Pittsburg
[QUOTE=Electroholic;36140185]Maybe I should just wait and see what happens.[/QUOTE] no ask her out
don't learn the hard way waiting for anything to happen regarding women is basically setting yourself up for nothing to happen
