Getting punched in the chin is pretty rough. Moreso when a knife is involved.

I smell a possibly awesome story.

I think his point was that they were lamenting over a situation that isn't that bad and that shouldn't be cared about. I'm starting to think none of Lent's jokes are jokes (unless I've been the only one in the dark. Maybe this is one of those moments where you discover something amazing which, in truth, is either really obvious or simply wrong).

Meeting new people solves everything. Seriously. Until you turn your back, get caught in the inbetween and try to balance both edges of your life. The transition stage is rough, getting through it is key. And 'liking' too many people at once, while knowing you don't actually give a [cabbage] about any of them is getting tiresome. Is a normal mutual relationship too much to ask for these days?

Rpg, to go back to your situation, the only problem with the two girls being friends is if the girl you're interested in holds back from pursuing any of her curiosity in you because she wants to stay loyal to her friend. Unless you tell the one girl "lol no you're fat" or something like that, you can easily let her down softly. Best case scenario you get the girl without hurting feelings. Worst case, no one is hurt, you get into the circle of friends, and you don't get the girl because she isn't interested in you in the first place. Either way, I think you need to be a gentleman and let this girl know that you aren't interested in her so you don't let her be led on. The sooner the better for you.

 

And my problem at the moment is figuring out a good way to tell a girl that she's just too young for me to consider, and finding a good place to meet people. I'm considering just taking the subway downtown by myself or with a friend and just finding stuff to do.

You speak the truth.

 

As for telling a girl she's too young?

No girl is too young ;)

Im' kidding

I say jsut tell her exactly that, she is too young and you need an older woman to call your own. New places to find girls? the thing is, the harder you look, the harder it seems to find one. I usually just trip over them at random. You said take the subway to some place? GREAT idea. Hell, even the subway can be a meeting place. That's how I met one of my latest female friends. I was taking a train to my college to take a placement test, and she happened to be going to do the same thing. Anywhere can be a meeting ground. Just keep your chin up, and your mind ready.

god dammit get out of my head

 

I've become a pathetic depressed mess who checks his phone every 20 minutes hoping for a text from her, even while he's out with friends trying to get his mind off it.

(and nothing sucks more then being 18 and a virgin, Im sure Ryan will agree)

Ignorance is bliss.

Amirite?

I used to compulsively check my phone too,, but it was whenever I gave out my number so I could add the person to my contacts and not get a text and think "Who the [bleep] is this?" It just takes willpower. Just put is somewhere you won't get it unless you need it.

Notice how I said meet new people :wink: To be honest, I've decided not to care about getting a girlfriend or anything, just having fun. I happen to find meeting new people fun, so now me and my friend are going downtown to do random shenanigans. It's definitely going to be fun :thumbup:

My ... relationship? is going well. She's getting back from Hawaii. But I'm going to Amarillo. I'll see her next week. It will be nice.

Being 19, a virgin, never had a girl friend or kissed anyone? That worse?

 

At least you have your Eevee. Some people don't even have that.

I have a habit of dismissing potentials before trying them.

 

Am I the only one?

You aren't alone, this is a pretty bad habit of mine. And even though it's probably on a fairly small scale, it's still giving me a lot of problems.

Am I the only one?

Nope, I do it too.

 

Also, because asking one set of twins about whether or not guys are an issue for them wasn't enough, I asked another 2 sets (I know a lot of twins) Anyway, one (my ex) said that it's not that big of an issue with her and her sister, but ALL of the guys she's gone out with except me ended up asking her sister out. The other girls said that they've gotten into pretty big fights over guys.

Ya, I'm guilty of it too. It probably comes naturally to everyone and you just have to train yourself not to do it.

I've found resisting it is extremely difficult.

Cool, thanks for asking :P

I have a serious problem with age. I don't know why, but a guy too young for me (too young meaning 2-1.5 years younger), is just disqualified as an option.

 

A while ago I met a really cute guy that I actually found very attractive. When I found out he was 16 I just... dismissed the idea on the spot.

 

 

I don't have a problem with them being older though... :???:

I don't think that's a problem, particularly at your age. You're an adult, it's natural to not be satisfied with the maturity level of someone who's in the middle of high school.

As you get older, the age difference becomes less important.

It's not necessarily his maturity. Both physically (and from what I've seen, mentally/emotionally), he seems very mature. I just have this... problem. "16? I'm out!".

 

To be pefrectly honest, he seemed more mature than some of the guys my age or older than me. It's some sort of... subtle phobia. Eh.

I have seen people of younger age appear to be more mature on the outside, then once you actually get to know them you realize that after all, they are younger.

 

There is a certain stigma in society about dating people with a large age difference, so that's probably a contributing factor.

I wouldn't think so. If anything, I've been encouraged in the past to date younger men.

Think of age differences like this Romy:

 

When you're young, an age difference of 12 years is outrageous. When my father was 12, my mother was just born and now, she's 42 and he's 54. It's not that big of a deal anymore. Imagine if you had a relationship with that 16 year old that lasted for 2 years or longer, he'd be 18 and you'd be 20. And it's not a big deal anymore. Also, if he's in high school dating a girl out of school, his popularity: through the roof.

I can only speak from personal experience, but all I hear directed at people 15-25 who date someone 2 years + younger is "cradle robber".
