Read it if you lack nuts.
Actually, fucking read it anyway. Good stuff.
Why would you keep DC and Automotive admires but not LA that's crap.

And most of my posts went with the moved forums, that's crap.
Because this forum is full of potheads.
[QUOTE=Wolfz;28256600]I tried kick-boxing, now all my body parts and wrists hurts. Damn[/QUOTE]
If your wrists and stuff hurt after kickboxing, you're doing something wrong. You need to have someone show you how things are done, don't just go wailing on a bag without knowing what to do, you'll get hurt.
I was already a confident individual before, but ever since I started doing MMA, I've been on top of the world.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;28244164]Thank you for the information, I shall try it out. However we already know each others names.[/QUOTE]
I have no balls.
Then you'll never be happy.
People can give you advice on what to do, but in the end, it's up to you to do it.
You have to realize that everyone gets scared and nervous. I still get nervous when asking out girls. It's not about not being nervous, it's about pushing through it and doing it anyways. If you stutter and look like a fool, so what? This girl won't be the last girl you ask out, so it's not that big of a deal.
What you need to do is just do it. The next time you have an opportunity to talk to her/ask her out, don't think, just dive in. Don't prepare what you're going to say or anything like that, just jump right in there and start talking. If you get all flustered and whatnot, just keep going. In fact, there's a good chance she'll find it cute if you're stuttering and whatnot.
But, if you never grow a sack and do it, you'll live a life full of "What if"s.

It's just like jumping into a very cold lake. You just have to do it.

Yeah rises your self esteem. My sholders wrists hurt the mucher, i think u know why, hehe.
Girl asked me out on a date on saturday, does that make me the woman?
Yep
absolutely
shes probably into bdsm or something
[QUOTE=Asm;28258018]Girl asked me out on a date on saturday, does that make me the woman?[/QUOTE]
Not at all.
The girl I've been dating for a while now actually asked me out on the first date. That's one of the reasons why I like her, she's brave.
She did do it over facebook, but that still makes her more brave than most girls, haha.
[QUOTE=Asm;28258018]Girl asked me out on a date on saturday, does that make me the woman?[/QUOTE]
Bend over, bitch.
I'd like to thank the people in LA for pushing me to make more of a move on the girl I like. Despite loving being single, I'm planning on asking her round or out again at the weekend, will probably ask out after that.
Thanks for tearing my balls down from my stomach. RIP.
You can be single and go out with a girl at the same time.
I've been dating a girl for almost a year now, but I'm still single. Dating is just dating, I can still go do whatever I want, haha.
LA is one of the only forums that I visited. Oh well. Thanks for the thread, Maverick.
MAVERICK
I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE
well actually I just need to rant about my confusion
Let's hear it then.
Maverick I have a problem
I have a girlfriend of 6 months and we are happy and never fight and hang out a lot and it's always fun
why am I not like the average facepuncher?!?!?

Because you are still in the honeymoon period. Your relationship won't be like that forever.

To me that sounds like hell, having arguments and fights make relationships interesting. With my last girlfriend I intentionally annoyed her at times just to make it interesting and she did the same to me. Was fun.
[QUOTE=MaverickIB;28259549]Because you are still in the honeymoon period. Your relationship won't be like that forever.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I know 6 months is typically the waning period, and that's when it becomes clear if it should end or go on but I was just trying to be a dick.
But since you replied awesomely I won't.
I'm pursuing a degree in psychology (have 9 credits so far after a year) and I've learned a lot about relationships and people so if you ever need help giving advice I am here! Just like an alternative viewpoint or something.
It's healthy to have disagreements, but I've never believed in outright fighting.
I've seen honeymoon periods last up to 3 years, don't think you're in the clear after 6 months.
What is the definition of a "honeymoon period"?
That lovey dovey never fight always want to be around each other no problems ever period that typically consists of the first few months of a relationship. Sometimes it only lasts a week, sometimes it lasts years, it varies.
However, the end of the honeymoon period typically marks the end of most relationships. Once people get over their infatuation and begin seeing their partner for who they really are, it tends to not work out in most cases. A lot of people mistake it as their partner "changing." For example, girls thinking their boyfriend was amazing for the first few months and "suddenly" changed into an asshole. In reality, he was an asshole the entire time, the girl was just too infatuated and engulfed in the honeymoon period to notice.
[QUOTE=Variant;28259655]What is the definition of a "honeymoon period"?[/QUOTE]
I don't know the EXACT definition, but it's typically the period where the feeling of "love" sort of dies off, and you no longer receive all the chemical benefits in your brain from love any longer (I don't know the exact chemicals, but it's something like dopamine). So you don't have the intense satisfaction from just being in love, so you are dating a person that you might love, but the intense feeling is gone.
That's what I learned in psych, Maverick can correct me if I'm wrong.
I've had a pretty messy love life and I'm only 18. :geno:
I got dumped (again) in November, but wasn't too cut up about it and got over it pretty quick, and was quite relieved to be honest as I don't think I was ready for it. So I went back to seeing an old ex (again) and seeing other people and hooking up for a night, and for a while it was nice, I mean everyone goes through that stage of "fuck why haven't I just stayed single all the time, I LOVE IT!"
and I really did
but now I sorta think I'm ready to get back onto the dating scene but I'm also terrified of it turning into more than just dating.
Cos (here's the confusion) I want something serious, but I wish there was a guarantee that it wasn't gonna fail :( I know that's not possible.
But I'm also worried about hurting the ex I'm still seeing cos he loves me, and I think really I do love him and kinda always will cos we have so much history. But I just can't go back there, although it would be convenient for us both, it just doesn't work - we don't work as a couple and we don't work as friends - we only work if we're doin' it.
I dunno, I'm just scared and stuck at the moment, I dunno what to do for the best but I sorta feel like I'm stuck in a rut??
I have a date with this guy next Tuesday but I dunno if I'm feeling it. And there's this horrible part of me that's like "CANCEL IT THEN"
but how will I ever make progress then?
I'm gonna go, but you know when you have that feeling when you just KNOW that someone's more into you that you are into them? I don't want it to be too intense and stuff.
Plus I don't really know how to do dates, I'm shy and I've not been on a date before lol...
I might just smoke a massive zoot before I go, that'll relax me :v:
I dunno, that's kind of a rant and a quesiton I guess.
IGNORE ME.

I think you're taking the right steps.
You'll get over your ex in time. Doesn't feel like you will, but you will, as long as you remain out of contact with him. As for going out on dates, yeah, you're probably not going to "feel it" for a while, simply because you're still recovering from the trauma your previous relationships caused you. However, going out on dates will put you on the fast track to recovery. Sure, the other guys might be more into you than you are into them, but just try to relax and have a good time.
Just don't jump into any relationships for a while. Don't go out with a dude and think that you have to get with him just because you like him. Let things happen slow and just take it easy, you'll be fine.
gf moved away
everybody else is a chav or a mental ugly freak around here
ugh
It sounds like you should try to get back out there, but it might be too soon (this is up to your discretion really). I would advise you not to be with your ex, and although it can be easy, the old problems that you had with him won't just magically go away unless you can both REALLY commit to compromise. And while you might be hurting him, it'll only be hurting worse to stay in the sort of hook up relationships, because you are hurting yourself and in the long run hurting him by giving him the wrong idea.
But be excited about your date on Tuesday, and just be optimistic.
