Gay Chat V11 - Were you expecting something funny? - General

Depends, if you only rp, don't know what the person look like/sounds like or their name. Then it's kind "Yeah that's pretty silly". Argentina to North American isn't too great of a distance, compared to North America to Western Australia. I'm pretty sure it could work out if you visit each other every few months or so. If you spend hours apon hours video calling, knowing stuff about them, them knowing stuff about you, it works. My girlfriend and I are going perfectly, she hasn't been this happy in years, and to be honest, neither have I. Awesome having someone to experience a con with who's more than just a friend as well. (And I am currently at one!) Only pain in the ass in an international long distance relationship is getting one person to another country permanently, which means documenting absolutely everything you do.

Idk I don't actually mind it just sounded like "hi I met this dude and we chatted this week and decided we're dating" to me

Well sorry then. good luck to you two I guess

A long-distance relationship fails 9/10 either because either person barely bothers to actually communicate with eachother often or the sheer stress of the distance consumes them completely and they break it off because of it. Nothing wrong with that, since a lot of people just aren't fit to have one, but that doesn't mean if you have one it's absolutely going to fail.

internet relationships are fine as long as you dont take them too seriously tbh [editline]9th August 2014[/editline] like go on skype and share pics and shit but dont go on like internet dates in gmod cinema servers or whatever that shits weird

In my opinion, to make one work, you need to at least see them within 6 or so months of it starting. Good on the people making it last without meeting their partner for a year or more though!

Personally there's the fact that even tho two people are compatible they could be god awful roommates and it could break everything apart which meant the whole move from another country the other just ends up leaving everything behind and not really getting anything in return. Got a friend who dated the same girl for 3 years. They eventually moved in and broke up after 3 months. I also know a couple who moved in after 5 months and have been together for 4 years now. Sure you can try to make it work but in the end one of the two in the couple has to sacrifice a whole lot more than the other to make it work

Me and Heavy have made it a year without meeting and I feel perfectly happy with it. Don't see why others can't do it.

My girlfriend was going to move in with me anyway, we were friends for much longer before hand, and she really wanted to come to Australia again. My house is big and pretty lonely so my mum was ok with it. Ended up realizing we had a shitload in common and we had a thing for each other. No point in looking at it negatively and thinking "But what if this happens", which could ruin it.

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;45636010]How do you know you're dating the person and not just a character?[/QUOTE] Well i hope people are getting 2 know the person before hand lol

That hotel gave me bad acne and made my hair look awful, I blame the hard water or something.

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;45636184]Because a real life relationship is better 90% of the time, and the second the opportunity comes up it makes for an awkward situation[/QUOTE] Either that or you end up missing out if you decide to keep going with the online thing

So far, absolutely no one I live around has piqued my interest in the slightest, and considering this place is highly conservative and staunchly against gays, I doubt that's going to happen. Highly. Don't see why I should hold out for a ghost of a chance when I can hold out for someone I actually do like.

Because in the end it could be the other who decides to leave and you'll realize that all that wasn't that great and that in the end it hurt more than anything. trust me.

Well, if that happens, then I'm fucking stupid I guess. I don't really see that happening anytime soon, though. Was pretty much on the brink of suicide before I partnered with him, so if anything, he saved my life. I'm not gonna live my life thinking "oh what if it doesn't work out what if this could happen" cuz then I'd not even want to be in ANY relationship. I'll go with the flow, and if people think it's dumb, then I'd rather be dumb and happy.

There were two Americans in the hotel lobby complaining about how all the signs were in kilometres. All in all a great trip

they pronounced it killamitters

[QUOTE=Zeke129;45636302]they pronounced it killamitters[/QUOTE] How could you have let this slide?

I think LDR is fine as long as you don't act like you're going to get married and live happily ever after, a healthy sense of skepticism will go a long way if you move in and your partner doesn't take out the trash

[QUOTE=Mysterious;45636317]How could you have let this slide?[/QUOTE] I should have mumbled "damn immigrants" to see how they replied

Don't be "YEAH WE'RE GONNA LIVE TOGETHER FOREVER UNTIL WE DIE WITH LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS AND BE HAPPY ABSOLUTELY ALL THE TIME :DDD", but don't exactly be "yeah this probably isn't gonna work out at all but worth a shot" either. It's all about being "There's a lot of work to be done, and a lot of hurdles to jump over, but we can make this work if we really give it our best." [editline]9th August 2014[/editline] Also, I've been playing a bit of Fable: Lost Chapters lately. That part in the beginning where the actual raid on Oakvale happens is still pretty unsettling and disturbing to me.

"You'll be my main man until someone better shows up in my life". Edit: Dating in a nutshell. I should snip this it's too depressing even for me.

I plan to visit my boyfriend in December who lives about 1,000 miles north of Texas. Getting the money for that drive is gonna suck.

Speaking of dating and videogames, I wish that pigeon dating sim would hurry up and release on steam.

I'm eventually going to move to my girlfriend in the US. We haven't met physically, but have known each other for years. But you bring this up and people are like "Wow you haven't met that's stupid it won't work out." Apart from us planning to meet before this all happens, what's the point in not chasing something you want 'because it could fail.' Should I just not leave the house because there is a chance I'll not come back? Or not pursue a relationship because there is a chance of it not working out? I am happy with my girlfriend. That's the most important thing to me, and if we don't work out then I will have spent alot of money chasing a dream, but that's what I wanted to do. I don't want to sit at home crying about how it isn't fair and everything could possibly fail. I want to pursue my dreams and take the success or failure in my stride. Success isn't going to come knocking at my door, I have to want it.

only in this fucking country do they air ads for fucking dating games on tv [editline]9th August 2014[/editline] Japanese "news" TV is literally cancer incarnate

I think japan is too weird to be taken seriously.
