Facsimile, you don't have to call me by my real name

It's different when someone actually has it as their username, but if someone I didn't know started calling me by my real name... It's just weird.

For the record, Majic, I'm not really looking for someone. I know who I want to be with. The problem will be working up the confidence to pursue a relationship with her.

Thank you very much Ambi.

Ah.

Well, I know the feeling, at least. As cliche as it sounds, just give it a whirl, use some big words in the process, and if you get denied, go home crying. Then proceed to crank up some Eric Clapton, masturbate, and you'll realize there are more worthy things worth pursuing in life. That always works for me when I'm in a rut.

EDIT:

TheRaison, you need to get some form of online messaging device, or reveal your screen names if they already exist. I actually have the feeling you'd be worth talking to over the intranet:p

The Red Muse 12-22-2004 01:36 AM

Ah yes... Love.

*sigh*

I finally think I've found "the one" for me.
Hence the quote marks as there is no One-Certain-Person for anyone. It's just some thing made up by depressed single women to keep their lives meaningful. Or something.
Anyhow,
Yes, I have found love.
Seven months and doing dandy-- except, thet my dear man seems to have a BABY FEVER!!! Seriously, he keeps on talking how sweet it would be to become a dad at a young age. Ewwww, says I.
Babies... they smell and are very, very loud.

That's him in the attachment.
Haha :D

Have you found love ?

No, love has me, as the matrix has neo, I'm unfortunately prisoner of a thought which doesn't belong to my own mind, but which is everywhere, invisible in all species' brain.
I'm alone, alone in this big incomprehensible world, everybody is alone at least one moment in his life, isn't it ?
And for the moment, I'm single, single, single . . . [echo :p]

Héhé ^^, sorry for this stupid message, I felt this funny :D

PS : no i'm not mad

Yes you are, you're just in denile. I hope you can swim.

And NO I HAVEN'T FOUND F*CKING LOVE. When will this thread go away? It makes my heart heavy with fricken despair, damn your eyes. :banghead:

Alcar 12-22-2004 05:13 AM

I'm in love, though from a distance, but not. If you understand :p I guess I could have been, but I missed all those chances.

Bah. I'll find someone eventually. I'm not dying to have someone at the moment, but it would be fun. Though I try and have as much of an enjoyable relationship with most of my friends, you could say it verges on being too friendly. But we all like it that way.

Denile ? o_O Didn't find this in dictionnary...
Of course I can swim... like a rock ! :D why ?

Yo I love nature, the best way to think purely and simply ^^

Nath 12-22-2004 11:27 AM

I was in love once. Was with her for two years. But that was two years ago. I've been single for two years. Every time I find a girl who I think I could have a decent relationship with, they dissapear. It's as if they find out then leave the country. But the ironic thing is, when I found out a girl liked me a few months back, I left the country (not on purpose though, I had a job). But now I'm back home where I belong, and I think that girl doesn't like me anymore. This is such a "Dear diary" moment.

Reptile 12-22-2004 11:34 AM

I was in love, still am. Yay for me. I'm on second base.

If you can't find love, one word...

Masturbation.

munchou 12-22-2004 11:43 AM

Haha, good words guy ! :D

TheRaisin 12-22-2004 05:00 PM

Feh. There's a difference between sexual gratification and emotion. I think of sexual desire as more of a physical instinct, like hunger. Love is completely different.

Not that it's impossible to substitute one for the other. It's just my opinion that mutual love is, in the long run, much more satisfactory.

Majic 12-22-2004 05:20 PM

No no no, the self gratification is only for the physical part. Eric Clapton heals the emotional vacancy left by utter hatred of life and all things related. Simple concept, really.

Love is a product of human emotional evolution. It's something humans learnt to do when we first started building civilisations. And it grew so common it became passed down as a part of your emotions.

I don't know why I've suddenly become some sort of evolutionary scientist but I think I'll go with it for now.

Denile is a joke. It's actually spelled denial...

Oh sod it.

I didn't read the other part but that made me laugh :p

erm... yes... on topic....

I love you.

On a sort of related note, my wellness teacher told my class the following generalized statement, which seems more true than false for most guys: "For guys, love equals sex, and for girls sex equals love", meaning guys think if they're in love, they'll have to have sex. And girls think if they have sex, they have to be in love.

Then she said that sex doesn't have to equal love to guys, and then love doesn't always equal sex to girls. Heh, my teachers sometimes leans towards being a sexist, but it would seem like there's too many guys out there that do think like that. In fact, I've even came across females like those kind of guys as well. Sad, sad world...

TheRaisin 12-23-2004 01:42 PM

Your teacher is a sexist. And that's way too common. My middle school health teacher was like MILITANTLY against men. On an interesting side note, she was recently divorced when I had her as a teacher. . .

"Denial (the Nile) isn't just a river in Egypt" is the saying. I personally prefer "The Euphrates isn't just a river in Mesopotamia."

Who the hell is Eric Clapton?

YOU SUCK! You think simple ejaculation can heal the wounds of a torn broken crushed heart! I'm with Jacob on this one! LOVE SUCKS! GODDAM ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO THINK LOVE IS SO SIMPLE! NOT EVERYONE IS A YOU! SOME PEOPLE ARE A THEM! I'm sorry... but it's true...

AquaticAmbi 12-23-2004 03:18 PM

Love itself is simple. It's a person's choice to complicate the situation in most cases. Heh, I am "GODDAM"-ed.

Alcar 12-23-2004 08:00 PM

I have this big idea that love is the greatest thing in the world, which is true... But I often fear that I'll be let down significantly, and I liken it to Princess Diana's vision of her perfect husband, perfect family, etc, etc. She grew up dreaming of a fairytale life, that wasn't to be. And I do fear my own ideas of love may never eventuate. Which would be devasting.

Lets hope I find someone just like me in my thinking.

Alcar...

What!?
He is a blues style guitarist. He's very good at what he does but his recent efforts are all poppy shite.

TheRaisin 12-29-2004 09:18 AM

Sounds crappy. I've heard enough blues style stuff to last a lifetime, living as I do with two former hippies. My parents grew up in the sixties and seventies, and it sure rubbed off on them. Not I, though! I detest most of what they listen to.

Hey, those are my parents! Give them back!

Yep, my parents sound just like that.

All of the above. I get on great with girls but as soon as it turns into a 'relationship' i look at them in a different way, it's werd, but not :S

Oddly Insane 12-30-2004 11:13 AM

isn't it what every man thinks

TheRaisin 12-30-2004 11:16 AM

??? Hell no. If one of my attractive friends who are girls suddenly showed interest in becoming more than friends, I would not let the chance pass me by. That is, if I weren't already pursuing a relationship with a specific person.

Jacob 12-30-2004 01:21 PM

I had a friend who began fancying one of the friends in the group. She didn't want a relationship though, just a one night stand with him.

I told her directly that if she did pursue this, i would make it my aim to have her and the other friend exiled from the group.

Friends should NEVER do ANYTHING, other than kiss, with each other. Unless there are no feelings involved [which, my this instance, there was]. Have a f*ckbuddy by all means, but never have a f*ckbuddy who you fancy. Especially if it's a friend.

Things get complicated and bitter and eventually the whole group ends up being incinerated in a vat of supreme bitterness.
