dating status

Aww, thank you :slight_smile: This made me feel really good about myself. I’ll definately be using your guys advice. I think everything will work out :smiley:

Everyone’s already said the right stuff, woody, so I’ll just repeat and concur with the sentiments. There are a lot of wise members on these boards. nods I hope it all works out for you in the end.

I hope so!! Good luck with everything, I’m sure it’ll turn out great.

I’m almost 24 and I’ve been single my entire life. It doesn’t help that I’ve grown to be an incredibly introverted person in my twenties. I have a hard time trying to meet people. Especially potential dates. Sometimes I wonder if things will ever work out for me at all.

I know that I just have to get out there and try. But I dunno, I get so nervous and freeze up. So that’s the reason I’m still single just 3 months shy of 24.

Yeah, I am kind of the same. I’m really shy. My goal once I start college is to be more friendly and meet people.

But guys like me for some reason, but whenever we try a relationship, I quit it immedietly. All of my boyfriends never lasted long. I think it’s because I’m not a touchy or physical person. So it gets awkward that I leave them. That’s happened a lot. I guess I’m just awkward

Well, folks, my birthday’s on Thursday, August 12th, and you know what present I get for free? The Perseid Meteor shower! Haha, I completely forgot about it! It peaks on my birthday night!

Well, I’m gonna see a movie with my friends - what else, Pixar’s new king - tomorrow, but sadly, my… … … beloved Brenda… :laughing: I say that in a nervous way, seeing as that lol emoticon always looks nervous… has something called Pacesetters everyday this week until school starts again. So I’m going to have to do the movie with just my guy pals.

But… she told me she’d be happy going JUST WITH ME on Sunday or Saturday, probably Sunday… and if she can’t make it then… … then I can go hang out with her! Haha!

Just the guys shouldn’t be too bad. That’d be a really interesting dynamic actually. Presumably a group of teeneaged boys seeing a film about toys together is really cute! When I went to see it with my friends, we had a mixed group. I wonder how “jock” type guys would respond to this film.

Also, I kind of hope for your sake that Brenda can’t make it to the first vieiwng with your friends. If the two of you go together alone, it’ll be a much more intimate experience. Who knows? if she starts to cry, you will be there to comfort her.

Oh, believe me, they’ve all told me they cried too! They didn’t see it at midnight, but they all love Toy Story nonetheless. We all grew up with it, being born at the earliest 1992 (one guy is a Senior), and the rest of us are becoming sophomores this year.

Yeah, I’m hoping she makes it to at least one screening… preferably one alone. It does look like I’m going to have to go with just the guys tomorrow. And my overprotective mother - who, just like any teenager’s mother - probably wouldn’t let me hang out with her… alone at her house. :sunglasses: Not that I CAN’T be trusted going alone over there.

And I already plan if she makes it to recite Spanish Buzz’s little speech about Jessie his desert flower to Brenda when we see each other. Not only as a compliment, but to show how much Spanish I’ve learned since last we met. grin While I’m shy about telling her I like her, I’m suprisingly quite comfortable with dishing out compliments and flirting with her. I quite regularly call her Cover Girl and poke her side. :slight_smile:

But hey, I already know she likes someone else, and I’m alright with that. It makes me happy that she’s found someone that good! :smiley:

Happy early birthday! And all of my friends are going to go see the meteor shower as well that night! It’s going to be great fun!

And that’s great that she wants to hang out with you alone!

Omg that sounds really awful, I’m so sorry woody. DD: But I don’t think it should matter whether you’re a Pixar fan or not. You sound like a great guy, so I’m sure she’ll come around. :wink: It’s all a matter of time.

On the other hand, I’m still single and lonely. )': I still wish I had a boyfriend. But I’m too much of a geek for anyone to notice me, lmao.

thank you :slight_smile: this actually made me feel really good about myself!

this is probably gonna sound really strange, but you are like my dream girl. You’re really sweet, and love Disney, and always seem optimistic. You also have opinions which you back up really nicely. It’s like impossible for me to contradict something you said xDD Are you a lawyer? :stuck_out_tongue: I’m sure that you’ll find somebody someday. I like to believe that we all will <3 but, that might just be the hopeless romantic inside of me :slight_smile:

^ in french accent: ah the love is in the air is it not? lol sparks are coming… and now me shut up…

Oh wow, LOL. That’s… probably the biggest and most sweetest compliment I’ve ever gotten on these forums. xDD;; It’s strange, but asides for my childhood friend who I’ve completely lost contact with over some personal issues, I’ve never in my life have had any guy friends. I’m always too nervous to talk to them in real life, especially really cute ones. And no guy has ever been interested in me in that way, I’m just too shy and I have a huge obsession with all things Disney, Pixar and Anime, LMAO. I’m too much of a geek and an introvert. So in the end, I don’t know how it’ll work out for me, but I still really hope that I can find someone later on.

And lmao, no I’m not a lawyer. 8D (I really wish I was one though, lol). But really, thank you so much. It was really sweet of you to say that. It actually really made me feel a lot better about my boy problems. xDD

Hey Danachii! You sound a lot like me. I can’t talk to guys in real life … I don’t know why. I’m an introvert too, but I’m loud around my good friends. The closest I’ve gotten to a bf is this one jock guy liked me and I liked him, but that’s as far as it got. And then it turned out he was so not the guy I thought he was. I’m only going into 9th grade, but still. So many people have bfs and its just like … ugh. All my friends do (cept my two closest ones). And I’m friends with two of their bfs, but they’re pretty much girls :slight_smile: I wish… maybe in high school I’ll find someone just like me.

There’s no sense waiting around for a guy. As far as I’m concerned, everyone that wants love will find it. However, finding someone and settling for less than ou deserve is no good. Besides, it’s kind of pathetic to “look” for love. You’ll find it when the time is right. This isn’t 1569; just because you’re going to die alone. Don’t look; chill and it will come. Just be the best you can be and you’ll be happy.
“Build it and they will come.” By it, I mean yourself. Don’t hide, and don’t doubt yourself. Be happy!! :smiley:

You know what’s weird? Even when I’m quite the outsider (I don’t think I’m an introvert), I’ve never had problems talking with girls.

In fact, It’s been quite the opposite: most of my social circle are girls, and my closest friends are all girls.

But of course, as the loveless person I really am, I’ve never used that ability with any other purpose than friendship. It won’t work, for sure. As IncredigirlVirginia said: “everyone that wants love will find it”. So I won’t.

You guys are right. I’m never changing to please someone else, cause then I won’t be happy.:slight_smile: I’m so lucky to have y’all here!!

Glad to see you see my point, SoA. I’m not saying love is bad, but looking for it leads to pregnancy, divorce, and sadness. Wait for someone special. Honestly, SoA, I was Asexual my whole life. I’ve had 4 boyfriends(2 online, 2 stalkers) and still happy alone. I believe I will marry eventually, but not before I find the right guy. Until then, I’m still Asexual. You don’t have to be a minor to find a mate anymore. The times have changed and people are waiting longer and longer.

Well this is the 5th time ive tried to post and come up blank usally i have something to say but eh i dont know what to say…

I’m pretty much like you, IncredigirlVirginia, but the difference is I know I won’t marry ever.

I’ve got all these wonderful girls as friends, and I know it can’t get any better with a romantic relationship or a marriage. It’s all in the head.
