Well, maybe ask her if anything was up to make her ignore you? It doesn't seem like there could be a good reason, but it can't hurt to ask.
im doing an essay due tomorrow as well. 1000 words which i guess isnt too bad
i hate essays though
[QUOTE=ShazzyFreak0;38144801]have you tried meeting new local people instead. that seems much easier than searching for expats specifically.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I did, they weren't that interesting.
The foreign ones have more shit to talk about

No joke try restaurants around 4-5 star hotels. When I was in China for the Canton Fair I went to this little Japanese restaurant every night and I met tonnes of awesome people from all over the world

some of my buddies are bringing waterbottles full of vodka to the last exam, it's going to be horrendous
nvm i shouldnt have been worried, i tore that shit up
honestly im pretty sure i got a 100%
I got a 4 on the American Lit AP even though I hadn't read one of the books I wrote about 8I
i got a 5 on the physics AP even though my physics teacher taught like this:
"a meter long pendulum has a period of 2 seconds. memorize this"
instead of:
"to find the period of a simple pendulum, use 2pi*sqrt(l/g), and a meter long pendulum happens to be approximately 2 seconds"
Well my weener is bigger

[QUOTE=rosthouse;38154497]
She also told me that I was just too nice, now what kind of bullshit is that? Did I miss a memo that its niw OK to be an asshole? If that's the case, I'm out of this game (not even going to try to date anymore).[/QUOTE]
Ugh.
The type of people who are possibly the most annoying dudes ever are the not-confident-submissive/beta, whining self-righteous, self-entitled "nice guys" who think they're entitled to women and that women are just dicks for going for the assholes leaving the poor "nice guys" to rot. My main gripe is that you're giving up on women because you believe you're "to nice" for them and its really assholes who they prefer.
That's not the case. Please [URL="http://yahoo.match.com/y/article.aspx?articleid=12966&TrackingID=526103&BannerID=1368045"]read up on this, it explains why she's not into you. She doesn't mean you're TO NICE literally speaking, but there are some other underlying grievances she doesn't want to offend you on.[/URL]
If you do end up "giving up" on women purely under the premises that you believe that they all just love assholes only, you will likely end up becoming a lonely miserable misogynistic dude. But seriously, read the article I linked you to.
long distance relationships are hard
especially when your girlfriend's mother is a vapid cunt who takes away all her internet access at the drop of a fucking hat.
looks like i've got a lonely week ahead of me.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;38166894]I still don't get why people say nice guys finish last, I'm a nice guy; yet I've never had SERIOUS issues dating other people (well the last three years before that i was a little chubby not confident little weenie). the difference between being a nice guy and a 'nice guy(tm)' is putting women on a pedestal and acting like they are the best thing since sliced bread
women are soft and pretty, but they're still human, fallible and most importantly equal to you[/QUOTE]
yeah but i deserve a girlfriend ive worked so hard all my life sitting on my ass and complaining on the internet............
its not fair ill never be able to find a boyfriend-free girl
[QUOTE=Guy Mannly;38159235]so
i had a 95% in my chem class up until yesterday. i had an exam in the class and i had spent several hours studying for it and understood the material. got to class, suddenly felt really sick. i finished about half of the exam because it was so difficult for me to focus, i had a migraine and it hurt to read so i got through about 20 questions of the exam (i think there were 30 or so, not including the bonus questions).
went to my chem lab after class and i felt incredibly nauseous. my lab partner usually doesn't talk to me while we work and just kind of does her own thing, and i was having difficulty reading the lab and had to keep leaving to blow my nose. my lab partner wouldn't tell me what parts of the experiment she was on and she was skipping around so i had no idea what to write. then she decided halfway through the experiment to put everything away and pull out her lab report from [b]last semester[/b] when we did the same experiment in general chem. i asked her if i could see her sheet since we weren't going to finish the experiment and she basically said no and left.
and then my prof wouldn't sign my thing that says i attended the lab because i couldn't see straight in order to do some completely trivial calculations that i could have done at home, and i felt like i was going to throw up so i just left without getting the sheet signed.

fucking hell i need to talk to a professional about getting accommodations for being dyslexic. i could've aced that test if i had enough time and if the girl sitting next to me didn't have her phone buzzing every 30 seconds.[/QUOTE]
Wow, what a bitch.
Thank god my university has the complete opposite behaviour as that. If someone ever did that here, in my course, that person would be doomed to never have a partner or find help in her studies.
Around here we basically keep information open to everyone, there's usually a "tradition" here of "humiliating" freshmen (It's called "The Practice", "a praxe", a process of initiation of the freshmen) and usually they find someone who will be their "godfather".
The "godfather" of a freshman is like a wise veteran of the degree who usually gives counselings and provides information, like exams with resolutions to his appointed freshman.
It's not official it's a tradition, so basically since information keeps going from veterans to freshmen, the information also circles around between freshmen, (they even post it online) so everyone has access to help.
Anyone unwilling to lend aid is instantly marked as "CUNT".
The funny thing is, this is not official, it's just a tradition. And as soon as the Practice period ends the freshmen are "buried" and are considered "normal students and thus veterans" and you're allowed to use the veteran's uniform.
So basically freshmen are bombarded with useful information and notes right before they even start classes.
As for me, I'm not anyone's "godfather" , but I have one who helped me a lot through 1st year.
But, I still send lot's of notes, textbooks and other stuff to people in need and attitudes like that towards other students are not tolerated even from the teachers.

I got ignored by a girl in my class a few weeks back for a few days, I really didn't know why. Sent her a message, bought some chocolate for her and the day after it was all good. Turned out it was something I'd written somewhere - it was pretty obscure. She's a nice girl, but she's really a bit weird like that.

you bought her chocolate because she can't handle her issues like an adult? I'd have told her to grow up.

Well, guys. I posted here a few days ago mentioning meeting my long distance-relationship girlfriend in England.
It went well. I can safely say these 4 days have been the best of my life. Why 4? Because her university dorm accommodation rules say guests can only stay in for 2 days, so we stretched it, hid me first night, today is the day I go home.
And I predicted the future as well. I DID miss my flight home! Now it's been rescheduled and I had to sit at the airport for 12 hours. Which wouldn't be so bad if she was her, but we said goodbye in Birmingham, and I depart from London City Airport. I'll be stuck her until 9AM. Woo.
Anyway, storytelling time:
I arrived at Stansted, no issues. Got a hold of a train, expensive as tuck but whatever. Worth every penny. Well in Birmingham I ran around like a chicken without a head for half an hour not finding her. I decided to head for the bathrooms because I hadn't seen one for [del]decades[/del] a whole day.
When I leave, I see her coming up from the stairs of one of the gates. She doesn't immediately see me,
By I'm too shocked to say anything. In a second or so she turns, sees me and freezes as well.
I fiddle with the gate for the bathroom trying to get out, stumble over my own feet and see her running towards me.
Half a second later, there we are in each others arms, for the first time.
The first thing she says is "You're real..."
Suddenly she's hyper and wants to show me all around all over town, which I love about her.
We hold hands the whole time.
We get on a train, sitting down calmly just staring into each others eyes and smiling.
We get into her dorm room and we kiss.
And I've never kissed a girl before. Apparently I'm a great kisser.
We end up cuddling. Cuddling becomes playing, etc. go figure.
We both figured to make the most of our time together.
Next day we take a shower, watch Little Britain while cuddled up. During the evening we head for a Prezzo restaurant (we're both diehard fans of pizza) and share a pepperoni and cheese pizza.
I'd share a picture we took in a window on the way there, but Im on my phone. Maybe later.
Anyway, we get home, tired and full, cuddle to sleep.
Third day is a calm one. We sit in, we go to visit Tesco and we buy some chicken breasts and Oreos (our favorite cookie <3) and just spend the day together, cozily under the covers talking naively but dreamingly about our future.
Fourth day we wake up, gradually crying our eyes out...
It was painful... I had to leave... She didnt want me to... I didn't want to... I kept her close to me and tried to comfort both of us, but we just cried...
At the actual train station, we kissed more than we had those days all combined. When the train came We both went quiet and sad... As I stood inside the train, door still open, she tells me "please come back soon..." And cries. I cry. My heart sinks. I give her a last deep kiss as the door closes, and the train takes off.
The look she had in her eyes as the train chugged off is what made me break down there and then. I just leaned against the door of the train and started to loudly sob and cry my eyes out.
I wanted to pull the emergency break, I wanted to jump off and go back at the next station, but I knew I couldn't...
Oh god... I've never cried so much in my life... I star crying just thinking of her eyes again... Writing it now makes me tear up...
I want to go back, but I can't for a while...
Long distance really sucks in that regard...
I love her. More than words can express. And it hurts to leave her.
That's my story, guys. I hope it goes on in the future. December is being planned, maybe around the 12th-20th. More time with her because I Christmas break
Best 4 days of my life... Wouldn't trade them for anything...

I laughed a lot at this bit, i don't know why. I just imagined you turning your head and a very full train of people are all staring at you, and me being one of those passengers.
Im happy for you tho
