I have a Problem - Page 2

Actually I have never heard of "Brians Song", Australians don't watch "Old Yeller" (we have Skippy the Bush Kangaroo for that) and no, I didn't tear up watching the bromance develop between Sam and Frodo, but i did weep like a baby when the rebels on New Caprica got the first communication from the Battlestar Galactica in more than a year, thus proving to them that there was still hope, and that they had not been abandoned
I think i cried a few times watching the last two seasons of Dr Who as well.
Does that count?

Also:
The end of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
And Children of Men.

Fag.

That'll do, Matt. That'll do.

If you ever get the chance, watch/rent/steal "Brian's Song" (the version with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams). It's all about true buddies and American football, and it's set in the '70s. Here's the wiki link:

Remember, many girls like a guy who can not only hold their own in a fight, but can occasionaly get a bit sensitive. That and someone who can lick their own eyebrows.

When it is referring to cunnilingus? Oh, yeah, that's a gay tongue reference.

Be gentle with me, Bele. It was after 8 in the morning and I can't ever get my shit together until 10.

Oh, sorry. In the future I'll try to remember that everything's homoerotic in the morning.

Truth in those words.

When's everything ever not erotic?

To expand on Mr. Apathy's comments, let me give you this piece of advice: Buy this movie. Watch it, learn it, live it. Ignore the sappy ending thrown on to fool the ladies into thinking they just watched a nice romantic comedy. You can thank me later.

I think you mean Armageddon and Terminator 2, no?

Either that, or read The Game. Guaranteed u'll change your perspective on things.

And it smells like... victory.

That, ladies and gentlemen, was my 200th post. The Cheetos are on me!

If she hasn't tried to contact you in the past couple of weeks, it's probably a dead issue. My opinion - go out tonight and have a good time, hit some clubs, take in a flick, do something to make yourself feel good.

If she's in any of your classes or something, bump into her and say "hi" and talk from there. Realtionship stuff isn't something you handle over the phone. Remember, be cool, no groveling. If she doesn't want a relationship, move on.

Couple of weeks? Didn't you spend Valentines Day together?

just climb in through her window and wait in the shadows to surprise her. It'll let her know you've been thinking of her, and that NOTHING WILL COME BETWEEN YOU!!! NOT EVEN GOD HIMSELF!!! FOR YOU WILL HASTEN ETERNITY FOR THE BOTH OF YOU!!

You're not going to show her this thread, are you?

Valentines Day was 6 days ago. So, when you say you've been dating her for two months should we assume you actuallly meant a month and that by dating you actually mean "just friends"?

I'm getting the feeling that anon is like a watered-down Myers87...he comes in asking for advice...and then does whatever he wants to do anyway.

At least he doesn't berate us for giving advice.

Treat her like shit, smack her around and cheat on her. She'll be begging you for sex.

Stop being such a pussy. If she won't fuck you then she needs to go.

Here's an extra bit of free advice dude. Look at yourself and realise that you are your own greatest obstacle. Continuing to act the way you've been acting isn't suddenly going to yield different results. You've been given a lot of good advice by some people who've actually had experience in these matters. My suggestion is that instead of admitting that these are great ideas yet ignoring them, you actually follow some of the advice that's been given. Maybe then your luck will change. Otherwise, have fun being her meal ticket.

Speaking of which, are you paying for her stuff when the two of you hang out? If so, stop immediately.

What's a good way to go about doing that?

It's just expected, especially in this part of the world, that the guy is paying for everything. With long-time friends-of-the-female-persuasion of mine, it's easy enough to say, "Hey, I'll get dinner and tickets if you get the tip and the snacks at the movies." Which isn't exactly "dutch" but...it's a step.

But what about with people that you know very little?

I'm dating someone...and I guess I don't mean ONLY in a dating scenario...eh...it gets dicey if it's not your S.O., that's for sure.

But the method that I used to typically employ was to just bluntly ask at the beginning of any activities...

You know, something along the lines of..."Ok, so how do you want to do this? You can pay for everything which will make all the amazon feminist types happy, we can do it the traditional way and I'll finance the night while operating under the ridiculous expectation that you are required to 'put out' at the end of the night, or we can be 80s progressive and do it the 'dutch' way, which says, 'I respect you, but I sure as hell ain't payin' for that 30 dollar shrimp sampler.'"

...eh?

My mom keeps reminding me that I'm always expected to pay for the woman - friend or date. But I've never understood the logic of that. I never pay for female friends - unless they've paid for me before. Going "dutch" on a date's a bit weird for me so I generally fork out for my dates, but once in a while I'll just go "tonight's on you!" - the woman usually feels so indebted that she doesn't say anything.

Surprisingly, I've found that getting a woman to pay for me - especially in a situation where we've just met - is an interesting way to get her attention.

When I was dating, I always made sure I had $100+ cash in my wallet, plus credit card. Way I was brought up, me being the guy, I was expected to pay, and I wanted to be prepared for ANY eventuality. I had no problem with it, since (thankfully) I rarely had to spend all my money on a date. I figured that was just the way things were done.

Whenever I hung out with friends who were also girls, they usually brought their own cash. If any of 'em were short, I'd help 'em out. I figured it was good karma, sooner or later it'd come back to me when I needed it. Usually it did.

Now that I'm happily married, I take my wife out on a date a couple of times a month (we're quite the hombodies), and I usually cover the movie tickets, gifts, etc. She usually picks up the dinner tab (I leave the tip).

So, Anon, how'd it go?

I think anon realized he was asking for love advice on the CHUD messageboards and promptly cut out his own eyes.

no more advice needed, problem solved... til' you get herpes.

I hope you had the common sense to shut that shit down. Because if you're nailing her, how many other guys are scaling Mt. Whore with you?

Now hang on, that's not really fair. What's there to say she's going off and sleeping with other people, just on the basis that she doesn't want a relationship? Some people just want a little sex without the emotional baggage.

This story smells fishy.

This could be the start of a beautiful ...screenplay.

Fuck buddy. First she doesn't want to kiss you, now she wants you as a fuck buddy. Way to pick 'em, champ.

Well, my lad, get yourself some steel-belted radial condoms (which you should ALWAYS wear when you're with her, without exception - chances are you ain't her only fuck buddy, buddy! And at this stage of the game, you DON'T want to have any kids with her, right?), and use her as practice for any sexual positions or moves you want to try out (rent some pornos, talk to lesbians, ask girls you're not dating what they like best, etc.). That way, when you meet the right girl (y'know, the one that wants you for YOU, not as her Wednesday night vaginal suplex workout routine), you'll come off as a "Goddamn Sexual Tyrannosaur" - just like all of us here in this forum. Shit, get good enough, and your fuck buddy may want to be something more - don't let her though!

Dude, you're going to do MUCH better than her - promise. May take a bit of time, but trust me, you'll be better off. Also, don't go out of your way to look for it, the girl of your dreams will show up in your life when you least expect it.

So, I suspect, does she.

Mmmmm. I agree. Something tells me this isn't going to work out in our friend anon's favour.

But then, what would I know? I've never had a fuck buddy.

Me neither - almost did once.

Same - but, well, she was from Otorohanga. And I have standards, you know.

I think anon's gonna screw this up. From his age in his profile, he's probably just starting college, so he's got at least 3 more years to spend chasing some co eds, as opposed to pinning all his hopes and dreams on this girl. A girl who just doesn't want a relationship, apart from physical.

I figure, he should have no guilt or pangs of remorse on this. She uses him, he should use her right back. Then, keep looking out for Ms. Right.

He should slip it in her ass. Then laugh.

So... did you fuck? or did she just say "fuck buddy" and run away?

Or did she actually say, "fuck, let's be buddies"?

"Well, we don't have to be boyfriend/girlfriend. We could just have sex."

"You mean... a fuck buddy? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH! Get out."

"...you came over here."

"I know."

"...okay."

I think she probably said "Fuck off, buddy"

fabfunk told more believable stories than this. I really don't understand why people lie on the internet. Nobody knows you dude, you're name is even anon. What is the point?

Or "Don't push your luck, buddy. I'm with Matt O'Callaghan now."

I hear he has a fucking awesome tongue.
