I think I can relate and possibly articulate some of my thoughts and experiences. I'm also one who tends to fall back to making little quips and sarcastic comments. I feel that people often get the wrong initial impression of me as being overly cynical because of it. I try to take it in stride...
I agree that setting the interviewer frame is ideal. Not only does maintaining mystery have its seductive benefits but it also lessens my fears of materialism and her only looking for a "provisioner".
As much as I try to hold out, I can only flip the script with a ****y comment so many...
At this point, it does sound like she has hang ups. It's delicate work but you may be able to help the situation. Next time you manage to bring the topic up, try getting her to be the one who suggests something "different". Maybe that will increase her motivation and comfort to try new things...
My mom was diagnosed with it two months ago.
I read a report recently that put it into the one out of hundreds of thousands range but it's out there. In most healthy bodies, one can tolerate small quantity exposure to the bacteria.
There's no right way for anyone to 'save this guy'. Not even himself. Who's to say whether he'll have a better life overall as a single guy trying to make up for some idea of lost time or as a husband trying to make his marriage work not unlike most husbands.
This site is great for getting a...
These types of relationships have existed since wealth and power were invented. This is another example of how communications technologies like the Internet are putting spotlights on all of the darker corners of society.
I think these relationships are probably healthier than most simply...
What about Nair or some of those chemical jobs? I'm sure they're not good for your skin but maybe it's the lesser of two evils?
I don't live in Greece. I live in the Miami area where looks matter more than most places. Sure, some girls have the initial reaction of disgust. I don't even think...
I tend to agree with MatureDJ. I'm a big hairy Greek with plenty of shoulder and back hair. Sometimes I'll try to trim the shoulder hair a bit but generally I try to accept it as part of who I am. It's futile to try and fight nature for the rest of your life.
If you're incredibly in shape, I...
I was wondering where my post went to...
For what it's worth, she called me this morning. We spoke for about fifteen minutes. She seems to be in a mostly good place.
About half way through the call, she started saying stuff like "this thing coming up would be better with you" and "I'm...
I forgot to mention that I called her. We played voicemail tag three times but she sounded good and happy to hear from me on the voicemail. I told her I'd call her again over the weekend.
Also, to clarify, when I ask if it's impossible to stay/become friends I mean is it not ever worthwhile...
More often than not, I would agree. I like to think there are exceptions though. Do you think salvaging a friendship out of a failed romance is impossible everytime or just in certain situations?
You may be right and that's probably part of the reason I sought external advice. I don't think...
Thanks for the common sense response. That's mostly what I was hoping for but part of me expects to be lambasted for even trying to talk to her.
I'm going to call her now that she's off work and see how that goes. A little part of me is tempted to send her a link to this post but so far I've...
I went almost eight [bitter] months after I ended a seven year relationship. It took a very persistent and patient girl to get me out of that particular funk.
That girl and I split up last week. I hope I won't be posting again in this thread in eight months with a new record...
