Super Friendly Social and Love Advice v8 - Stop spamming her with texts. - General

Well my Grandad John just died, on Valentines day. Was going to see him this year at some point since I knew he was ill. My Nana was napping and he died on the toilet. What the fuck is going on im in bits

I feel bad I haven't really been talking to my friend lately. She would message me and we would have a conversation but I would usually stop talking to her mid conversation then apologize like 3 days later. im going to end up losing her if I keep doing that. She's my only friend too so it would hurt to see her gone. Last time I stopped talking to her she didn't answer me back for awhile. I'm not going to do that anymore I just messaged her after a few days of not talking

Nothing better than people who turned me down for saying they're "not ready for a relationship" posting on Facebook on Valentine's Day about how they're sad they don't have a boyfriend. I wish people would just be honest with me and tell me I'm either not attractive to them or they just don't want to go out with me.

I'm holding up pretty well, all things considered today. I've been sarcastic most of the day and I'm going to spend the day working and distracting myself with Mystery Science Theater.

[QUOTE=papkee;51806398]So I've been "sort-of dating" with this girl for a week now. We confessed our feelings to each other while she was in a bad relationship, and we'd been hanging out for a while already. She broke up with him last week and we've been hanging out a lot more. We both really like each other and it's awesome when we're talking or doing homework or whatever. We were talking about what each of us was looking for in a relationship. I said I'd like to eventually have something long term, and she said she wasn't really sure and right now she wants something more casual. Now, I'm assuming that's because she obviously just got out of a relationship and needs some time, but a part of me worries that she's not interested in me despite how she's said it on multiple occasions. I've just been stressing a lot, and she told me I shouldn't be, but I really worry that for whatever reason this won't work out. I've never met someone quite like her and we both enjoy each other's company a lot. I think I just need someone to tell me that this is alright and that I need to take things slower than I am. I tend to overthink things quite a bit, but I really am hoping that she might come around to the idea of something more long-term the more we get to know each other. Girls are hard.[/QUOTE] Ugh. Yesterday she had her ex helping her with some tech issue or something via skype, and when we were hanging later that day she seemed stressed and didn't seem to want to have much to do with me. I'm hoping that this is just something related to it being valentine's day today but a part of me is very worried that she's going to go back to her old bf. Who knew it would be so stressful to [I]not[/I] be in a relationship.

[QUOTE=ljh;51820435]Happy valentine's day, mates. Hope you all have a date or ask someone out.[/QUOTE] 28th year in a row alone hype!

[QUOTE=Loofiloo;51821966]28th year in a row alone hype![/QUOTE] I've managed the 13th with a girlfriend but not valentines :v:

I talked to my friend today and also accepted that me and my ex girlfriend can't be together but at least my friend I can still be friends with her so I feel a lot better [editline]14th February 2017[/editline] I just gotta not push her away like I feel like I've been doing

I ran into my crush and her boyfriend at lunch today. Apart from making a few snarky remarks about how shallow Valentines Day is, I didn't care too much today about being alone. I was too busy to give a damn.

I didn't care about being alone on Valentine's Day to be honest.

Valentine's Day is just another day except with pink stuff as a focus. Nobody should really be sad just because they're alone on one day in particular.

My boyfriend and I couldn't afford Painting with a Twist so we kinda just did it on our own since I had paints at home.

Spent the first Valentine's day in my 20 years on this planet with a girl. Dang that was fun I never understood the hatred for Valentine's day. It's become as commercialized as Christmas, yeah, but you don't HAVE to buy into any of that stuff. If you've got a girl/guy who expects too much out of a simple holiday about simply showing appreciation, run away

I'm single and Valentine's day was getting me down a bit so I decided to treat myself last night (since I have to get up early on Wednesdays). Made a nice dinner, bought some decent wine, and spent the night getting shitfaced.

i'm starting to feel the desperation creeping back into my life. i'm taking a break from writing a terrible essay that i'm only 1/4 of the way through so expect tons of flowerly nonsense. My birthday was on friday last week and I didn't tell many people because I like treating it like any other day, and if anyone happens to remember then I feel pretty special and etc. so it's a good deal all around. My friend planned to visit me that weekend and she didn't find out it was my birthday until three days before she was supposed to arrive, but she still went through the hassle of buying me some presents and making a card with all my favorite memeshit [t]http://i.imgur.com/ikP3b04.png[/t] she bought tickets maybe a week in advance and since i was pretty hyped the entire time in between. everything that happened actually surpassed my expectations, which in itself was pretty unexpected. we spent the whole day exploring the city and checking out new places and there was very little downtime when we weren't talking or doing anything. my future employers will probably find my post history and fire me and report me to the fbi for this but at night i got a bottle of jager and got drunk for the first time, and she took care of me and made sure i didn't experiment with the stove or jump off my balcony and she kept the bottle from me and poured me water so i wouldn't get a hangover. between us i think we got through half the bottle before some other friends called later in the night and told me they were outside my apartment so i went down and it turns out they prepared a cake for me so we just celebrated and they got through the rest of the bottle. drinking's actually pretty fun but i don't think i'm going to do it again any time soon. i'm just glad i was able to drink with her cause i've had opportunities in the past and didn't because i have a hard time trusting others about that stuff. she left on sunday around noon, so we just got breakfast and checked out a museum in the area before she had to leave. after that some other friends took me out to dinner and we had a nice meal. on my actual birthday i had dinner with my family in the city i'm currently staying in which was nice because we've never eaten here before. overall this was a pretty amazing birthday and i'm still pretty happy about it. normally i have a hard time making friends and socializing with people but this whole experience made me realize how far i've come. an old hs pal who goes to the same university as the girl contacted me recently and said we should hang out soon so i might visit them in a few weeks which gives me something to be excited for after spring break.

But today I got accepted for my tourist visa and I'm visiting her next month!!

I worked for 9 hours then got home and worked for another 3. Also made some great steak and mushrooms for one. Overall a successful Tuesday.

best Valentine in a long, long time.

Soo speaking of Valentines day, is it a stupid to buy a friendly flower for a friend who happened to be your ex and you haven't seen each other for almost 2 years? We're having a fika on Saturday and it feels like i don't want to go empty handed. I mean friends can give each other valentine gifts i guess?(in this case late gift). I mean i give my mother and sister a flower bouquet every year on Valentine.

for those of you who didn't have a valentine, this is from me to u [t]http://68.media.tumblr.com/a662cedcafbf7aa8b47365a24fbac718/tumblr_n9v9abz5pn1s2wio8o1_500.jpg[/t]

I'm actually pretty happy about being single, I don't mind being alone anymore. Honestly, it feels amazing.

A $13 bottle of wine is like the safest and most universally loved quick gift

Valentine's day used to make me super depressed, this year I felt kinda nothing and just kinda forgot about it. I guess that's progress

I'm trying to get closer to my friend. I kinda would like to be in a relationship with her. I don't know why I've been not talking to her as much as I used to though. I talked to her a lot today and yesterday though so I guess our friendship is getting better again. She said I was her best friend though but I wonder if she would be willing to go on a date

I went out with a friend of mine and his gf to a bar for valentines day since I'm a single dude and they were having their anniversary the next day so opted out of a serious date on valentines. Was a nice night. We met up with another couple from class and played bar trivia.

The girl I've been seeing for a couple of months and I decided yesterday to be "officially together," so yay me! Maybe tinder isn't [i]completely[/i] 100% trash.

I'm just going to be her friend for now before I tell her how I feel. She's going through a personal problem right now that's making her depressed and I've been trying to cheer her up but I never experienced what she's going through so I'm just trying to be there for her. I don't think now is the appropriate time to tell her how I feel. I'm just trying my best to help
