When i got to this site years ago, I was a wreck...i had the typical "one-itis" heartbreak case, my confidence hit an all-time low, and EVERYTHING about women confused me. i spent the next few years studying the DJ Bible (even got a couple of articles in it, he he), helping others and helping myself. I realized something the past few days...the site has changed...or maybe i have. I had it in my head from this site that the MAN was to rarely reveal his feelings...he was the one to be in control...and if a girl "disrespected" him...he was to "next" her...he was to move fast to get the girl he wanted and if she didn't respond, move onto the "next".
This site used to be a "relationship" help board, and VERY rarely were there Lay Reports, or people talking about how awesome it was that they had a ONS. Now it is quite common.
I also feel there are a lot of negative attitudes...preaching that WE are the ones to be on the pedastal...we are the king...we are the ones to be on top...what happened to being equals with the person you are with?
My relationship with HBOreo has been a mess...
I was sitting here "playing" the DJ game with her. She's a model...so the attitutude here is:
Attention Wh0re...needy...needs great sex to be happy...always flirting with guys, so be different otherewise she'll walk...
With HBOreo, it couldn't be further from the truth....
I found out on the weekend that things with HBOreo were completely over...shortly after the last time we slept together...she got involved with someone else...
Why you may ask?
Sex was great...were were attracted to each other, we loved each other's company, we laughed...but I never told her how I felt about her...
Turns out HBOreo had always wanted more than a “lover” relationship with me…she wanted me to be her BF...hell I WANTED to be her BF.
She had so much going on in her life when we met, that she had no choice but to bail on our dates, and couldn't call me. It pissed me off. So…I backed off. Hell, afterall, no respect right? NEXT!!!
Wrong...
When her and I met, and things started going on with us, all the other “guys” in her life who were after her number…all that baggage she was carrying…she got rid of when things started happening between us. She had a freind that was always in the picture, and when i listened to comments on this board on the situation, "next", "Low IL", "doesn't care", "no respect"...I backed away out of frustration. I mean afterall...if she doesn't call me...doesn't make a date...it means she's not interested right....
Wrong...
I got to the point where i was tired of her asking me out and bailing, so i ended up saying, "okay...call me...", not really believing she would. She never did. "Well if she can’t call me, then obviously she doesn’t like me”…in fact…she was thinking the same thing about me.
There was mis-communication…frustration on both our parts, yet neither one of us confronted the issue. She was going through so much in her life when I met her, and I felt that if I did that, I would have pushed her away…the truth is…NOT telling her how I was feeling is what caused it.
HBOreo is NOT the typical “model”, as I stereotyped along with many other people on this board...she is human. She is a “relationship” girl. She is into commitment, and falling in love…My insecurities, anger, frustration, and the fact that I never told her how I TRULY felt about her is what pushed her away.
I found out all this info this week. After she told me she started seeing someone beause she only thought i wanted to be her lover, not her BF... she still wanted to remain friends (go figure). I pretty much told her that there was NO chance for that, and to only call me if she wanted something more than friends...otherwise don't bother.
But deep down, that wasn't how i felt...that was something that had been programmed in me for the last few years.
So…I thought about it...for 5 hours...is my frustration, pain, anger really going to dominate? How do I REALLY feel about her? There was no backstabbing...no cheating...we just both moved on out of frustration, not knowing what the other person wanted.
I arranged to met her, and I put my heart on the line when I saw her…afterall, I had nothing to lose.
I told her how I do feel about her…I told her how everything pissed me off…how frustrated I was/am…and also how much i care about her...from the 2 hours we spoke...
“I could never be your boyfriend anyway, unless I knew I could be a friend with you first. We jumped from 2 people who like each other, who have a great connection, and are attracted to each other…right to sex…we never got the chance to know each other…maybe it was just bad timing"... If we end up being MORE than friends, awesome…if not…then I at least I get myself a good friend out of it. We both know we were very attracted to each other from the beginning…we both wanted the same thing…we just couldn’t figure it out…bad timing I guess…
I really put my heart on the line when we spoke…and I didn’t care…it wasn’t an AFC, “oh I like you PLEEEEEAAASE go out with me…after all we are in love!!”…nah…it was me just telling her how I truly do feel about her. I think I said something lame like, “if someday you find yourself single…and I’m available…just remember that there’s a guy in your life who cares about you and would love to get to know you.”
It was the truth…and I don’t care how it sounds…
Yeah, there is a LOT of shyt I am still EXTREMELY mad at her for…I feel fuct over…there are times when I hate her…and normally I would have fuct off completely…no communication…no friendship…nothing…but something…”something” is telling me to not push her away right now. It’s not this need of, “trying to get something I can’t have”, or me trying to remain in her life to “break them up”…I can’t explain it. Her and I did have an amazing connection…we are totally attracted to each other, and we clicked form day one…the timing just REALLY sucked, and the mis-communication on both out parts is what led to the result I am now looking at.
Anyone who reads or looks at this story could say “one-itis”, or she’s a ***** and you are wasting your time…
Maybe…
But something is telling me to risk that right now…yes, I know she had an argument with him, to the point where she felt they were going to end it…and maybe a bit of me is saying, “hang in there” because of that.
All that stuff on ASF, and recently more on sosuave is “How to be a Player”…”how to get laid”…”speed seduction”…"how to be a man", "rarely reveal feelings"...that is what i have been valuing for the past 3 years...what would have worked on her is revealing how I truly felt about her instead of not telling her. I guess I was trying to be a “MAN”…afterall…we are supposed to be the strong ones. I’m not saying revealing myself to her would bring the situation a different result…but it would have been ME, instead of me acting how I “think” I should be…
She easily could have told me what was on her mind the whole time, so right now, we are both at fault...
She in-fact was NEVER with this guy until after the last time we slept with each other. She wasn’t with both of us at the same time…and she moved on, because I moved on…we just never told each other what we were feeling…or what we both wanted…that was the fuk up.
How she wants to be friends I left up to her…no, I’m not going to call her…I’m not going to ask her out. She is the one who is going to have to determine where we stand. And I feel great about the decision. In any other situation I would have walked. Right now I can ONLY be her friend, because that is all she can give me.
I need to change my view on relationships…maybe this is a stepping stone…maybe she’s thinking about what I said and realizing she does want something more…maybe she is thinking about what I said and realizing she doesn’t want me in her life.
It doesn’t matter.
I told her a LOT of feelings…I told her how I DO feel about her…I think walking away now, would only show her it was bullshyt…
This weekend brought a lot of things out in me…and helped me realize a lot of faults I have. I’m on a "new" journey of “self-discovery” or something. I called up a friend who I haven’t spoken to in 2 years because of an argument we had…and I’m looking at relationships differently. I’ve always been in a rush to “get the girl” I want, and YEAH, SS DOES WORK!!! but it doesn't get you a relationship…now it’s time to set in a solid foundation. It’s time to realize that relationships aren’t based on “speed seduction”, it’s based on two people establishing something great, putting in some groundwork…and seeing what happens.
I’ll be leaving both ASF and sosuave because I realized I got what I needed from them. the confidence in myself, the attitude, knowing what women find attractive.
I think if anything, this situation has made me realize just how important people I care about matter to me in my life, and maybe because of views expressed on these websites, I’ve been too eager to push people away, as opposed really getting involved with someone…emotionally, intellectually, and physically.
That's where I am right now. This is a great website, and it has helped me a lot...but I want to move on from it...i feel I've grown from it...and now have grown out of it.
I figure I’ll give the friendship with HBOreo a few months…if it hasn’t grown, then it probably never will. I’m just willing to take the risk and listen to my heart, then listen to the part of me that lives a life of “nexting” in order to feel safe.
