So do you mark off the days on a calendar or something?

Nah, It's just easy to calculate the number of days that passed since our first date. 3 years, 1 month and 18 days.

About not speaking the same language, it does make having an argument frustrating and causes some misunderstandings sometimes. It does make it cute though when the English is bad, like with my current BF. He always criticizes my housekeeping and says - You musn't live how as animal" . And instead of remember he says "be know it". Or when he asks me to look at something he says " looking". I have a sort of dilemma that I feel it would help him if I taught him better English but it's cute how he talks so I normally don't correct him.

That does sound cute. But you should correct his English anyway. Unless he doesn't like it. I sometimes but regularly accidentally say the wrong pronunciation for things and my boyfriend just picks on it. It can be quite annoying at times.
 
Nope, only had one girlfriend and I found the entire experience draining. Of course I find all social situations draining these days.
 

You mean.......

Married :(

Sorry i couldn't resist
Every time my girlfriend says the word "commitment" I scream and cower in the corner.
 
There's a girl who claims she and I are in a relationship, which....is not exactly incorrect, but it's not altogether accurate, either.

Or as someone else has said elsewhere, "I don't have a girlfriend, but I do know a girl who would hit me if she heard me say that."

That's Bill Hicks I think.
 
Do I even have to answer this?

You lot have probably known Abaddon longer than I have :p. Though it's coming up to a year of knowing him now - scary ;)
 
I have just had my most single yeah ever, starting with my last breakup at the beginning of 2011. In 2009/2010 I was a pretty aggressive hunter and I learned getting girls does not get happiness. I've been a lot happier in 2011 being single as a mountain-top monk. I'm open to a relationship but it has to go through much more formal or natural channels than picking up women at parties, which is what I had been doing :p

To be fair I met her through friends and she was really cool at first. God what a trainwreck. Fortunately she's in New Zealand now.

I knew you were gonna bring that up.
:p

It's a funny story! I don't blame you, she was really cute. I regret I wasn't awake enough to be a very good wingman.
 
Nope. Never been in one either. Don't really feel like I'm missing much.

It's kind of sad to me how I see all these dude friends of mine wallow through shite relationships with shite women just to maybe get some poontang at the end of the day. They don't look very happy, and in some cases miserable, yet they willingly strap themselves to the whipping post out of some sort of twisted obligation. Many of them don't even realize it, and in fact believe erroneously that they are in control of their relationship.

Relationships may be worth it you want companionship, granted. But if you just want sex? There's plenty of dumb sluts for that.

It was already too late, but by that point thankfully so. And let's not forget that she found you immensely attractive. She tended to like fast talking balls of energy lol.

Btw here's the story from about 30 hours later (you might remember). I was eating breakfast with a couple of friends back home. One was visiting Chicago, the other had moved there. The one that moved there we will call "Sistah Lady". The girl I brought to your place we will call "the girl".

I was just finishing telling them how the girl was trouble. Unfortunately I had her laptop in my house, and she lived an hour south on public transit, sort of awkwardly nestled between the blue and the brown lines about a mile west of the loop. The girl asks me if I was gonna come down south at all. I told her "only if you seduce me". I was over it by this point and was just kidding.

It was very blasé--like I literally forgot if I sent that text or merely thought it.

Anyway, 10 minutes later my phone starts vibrating like the Hayward fault finally blew thought it was a phone call at first but.... isn't there a gap between buzzes normally?

Check phone. SIX text messages and "message full error"

I start deleting some old ones to make room. I get FIVE more.

This girl, someone with whom it was made explicitly clear from the get go that our rapport was romantic in nature, literally sends me an 11 text response to my offhand "only if you're gonna seduce me"

20 and never had a girlfriend. I've been on a few dates, but I'm not really looking. Is it really worth it to have a relationship while working full-time and going to school? It's pretty tough meeting people anyway.

where are these dumb sluts? I never found them. I can't get sex unless I'm either in a relationship or with prostitutes. Which of the two sounds better?

At that age, some had steady gf/bf, few serious relationships, fewer stilled married.

Me:

Daughter born 1992, her mother and I were never serious.

Met my wife in 1994, married in 1997, no children together, divorced in 2009.
 
technically, I've never had a gf and I'm in my late 30's. Like I said on page 1, the woman I can't say is my gf. That Bill Hicks quote above almost describes it perfectly. It is entirely possible I am not relationship material. I may be able to get sex, but not a gf. Weird. Friends with benefits is not a bad thing though.
