You shouldn't let the grieving/anxiety/shitty-feelings rule your life. if you don't feel capable of dating or being in a relationship then write it off for the time being. But it's important to do other things that make you feel better and like a worthwhile person. I don't know if it's weird, but i feel like the dating/relationship stuff isn't _that_ different from developing and maintaining good friendships. i feel like societally we've built it into this rarefied thing, when it's probably healthier to look at as a "bff you enjoy fucking."

Sarahel otm in one aspect in particular- cos being bff's that *hate* fucking is just awkward

thanks for that link, schlump, and the post in general. and yeah, i'm board with the "Margaux" page as well. my ex was not all what i was looking for, and that's why i ended up being so fascinated with her for so long.

btw the last time i was skinny i couldn't grow a beard, take ~that~ ilx stereotype

last time i was dating lots of girls, i was 20 and i was having parties at my house every other night, and going to other people's parties when i wasn't having my own. now, only 8 years later, i have a job and i'm lame and i rarely go to parties

just think about the poor slobs who are 35, 45, 55 going through this! you have a head start!

Crut's fb photos always make his life look like total fun times, so unless they are all really old and you're faking us out, it seems like with the music and the friends and the camping trips and whatever that you DO have stuff going on?? And hobbies/pursuits/personal goals? Obv I don't know the full sitch here but "help getting over a break-up" doesn't seem like what's really needed.

Crut -- go on tour!

and ZS - you are the creator of Evil Guide Dog - which makes you a rockstar in my eyes.

sarahel, Wednesday, 26 October 2011 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link

i tried to mention evil guide dog a few times irl...it did not work out so well

whooooaaaaa! (Z S), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link

those women have no taste, imo

sarahel, Wednesday, 26 October 2011 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link

when even the wes anderson approach fails you, it's tough no doubt

generation lmbo (darraghmac), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link

lool i forgot abt evil guide dog

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 26 October 2011 19:59 (thirteen years ago) link

there's also the fact that i'm a sickly skinny dude and that means that 90% of girls reject me on sight. i really lucked out with my ex, she was "into" skinny guys, which was like the most lucky event of my life

this is nonsense...lots of girls are into this type!

bene_gesserit, Wednesday, 26 October 2011 20:11 (thirteen years ago) link

can you tell me where these girls are, and if they tend to gather at the same location at a particular time of day

whooooaaaaa! (Z S), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link

ZS: former Britpop girls (basing this on the ones I know, who are... me) love skinny boys. I married a man in no small part thanks to my teenage crush on Jarvis Cocker. FIND PULP FANS!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link

well, lets see my marriage ended in late July...i've been dating a wonderful girl since september. Yes, i didn't wait long, I met her on a whim at a wedding. My marriage was over emotionally 3 years ago. I guess I was just ready.

I think if it feels right, it doesnt matter when you get back on the horse.

it feels really right.

Excuse me but this is complete insanity.
