troll confessions? :confused:

Seriously, some of you people are crazy times.

If you have a full, active life, it frankly doesn't really matter if you're single or not. Sometimes I've been so busy--with good stuff, not with work--that having a significant other is a bit of a distraction. It's only when I don't have anything going on in my life that I ever get sad.

Honestly, I may joke about being lonely, but hadn't thought about this seriously until recently. A girl I knew in college just "came out" with her relationship with the guy I had liked for all 4 years. We were even supposed to go on a date, but he cancelled (for a good reason). Long story short, they've been together for months and she just started flooding facebook with all their pics, thus bringing back all the feelings I thought I'd gotten past. So I guess I don't really just want somebody, I'm lonely because I want him. I really thought something was going to come of our date because he was so excited, but he turned to her in the end. It's like a sappy chick flick, but from the loser's POV. :rolleyes:

Anywho, I've finally stopped torturing myself looking at her pictures and am trying to just forget it. I don't want to miss my blessing because I'm looking backward and envy is not something I want attached to me. And I truly don't need anything serious right now, that stack of books is my man for the time being. I'm just sick of losing out to "the other girl." It happened over and over in college and high school and here at grad school it's happened FOUR TIMES in my first year. I'm tired of a guy showing interest and then choosing my friend in the end. I'm not lonely and depressed, I just feeling constantly rejected. I know this is God's way of telling me I need to focus on Him and leave guys alone until I get it together, but it's still hurtful watching every crush and even though ones I thought I might love fall for someone else. Not trying to question how God works, but what's the point of having someone compliment me, put his arm around me and THEN ask my friend on the date? I try not to think about it and focus on how good my life is, but I need to try harder because this sucks.

I'm a member of an astronomy and physics club, so I've actually met guys that are into astronomy like me, but all of them were fugly, and a few of them were fubar. The guy I'm seeing now is a cutie but wouldn't know a planet unless it appeared on his XBox.:rolleyes:

So, I guess I could have one or the other. I could have a Mr. Hottie who probably thinks the Kuiper Belt is a belt to wear around his waist, or a Mr. Fubar who can tell me that the Kuiper Belt stretches from the edge of Neptune's orbit to about 7 billion miles from the Sun. Or a Mr. Fugly who can debate with me about why Pluto should or should not be one of the nine planets in our solar system.

Hmmm....I'll take Mr. Hottie.:D

ETA: He did watch "Mission to Mars" with me though.:D

lol

No, it wasn't the same guy. And they were Dots not Ju Ju whatever.:)

This sounds totally suicidal.:rolleyes:

point is: he's trying....go with the guy that is make the effort, because most people don't :)

Oh Cheerful... What am I going to do with you... ;)

Some Fugly can be cleaned up, well... If they are fugly on the outside, what are they like on the inside? If they are handsome on the inside, then the fugliness can be cleaned up unless we are talking total birth defects with 12 fingers on one hand et al...

Mr. Hottie could be an asshat on the inside and would that be worth your beautiful intelligent mind? ESPECIALLY when you are keeping both your outsides and insides clean and presentable...

Now if dude is FUBAR'ed, and you are not a plastic surgeon or he is not studying to be one, then welp--you can think like my folks did, "if you marry a frog, you'll have tadpoles"... But sometimes you kiss a frog and he turns into a prince!!! ;) Maybe a frog prince...

And getting some guys, especially the fugly one's to clean up, is not that hard if you appeal to their vanity and make it a challenge. Like, take for instance, craters on the face, it's usually a combination of issues, but most likely, folliculitis and using poor shaving technique--i.e. dull razors or not sealing that pore. There are other things like what they eat, but for now, just say it's those two things... Get a men's regimen--an the "beauty stores do not have a good men's line" and sometimes its proactiv--personally, I like Mary Kay products and get that stuff cleaned out!!!

If it's jumbled up teeth, well, take him to an orthodontist!!! If it's decaying teeth, he needs to see a dentist...

If it's jumbled up toes--hammertoes, etc. get him a spa pedicure.

And don't be mean about it, just use your wiles of persuasion... LOL... :)

^^^This just gave me an image of Bobby Brown a la Two Can Play That Game. :D

I have been single for like a year and half. I just hate that whole "does he like me" stage. I met a guy tonight....we talked for a while. He never asked me for my phone number, so when the reception ended we parted ways.

And, how do I know I've been single for too long? He told me enough about himself that I was able to find him in the directory of the university where he's doing graduate work. Nope, I did't have the guts to ask him for his phone number, but I can do plenty of sleuthing and find it without having permission to.

Whatever. When they get back from their honeymoon, I'm going to ask the groom about him....see what he says.

so, heres how i know my life hasnt changed since 8th grade.

went to the movies with my BFF from college. watched cute guys at the concession stand. kicked our feet up on the seats and laughed way too loud in the theatre.

the popcorn hasnt changed since 1998, neither has the boys. i still fuss in the mirror about my hair, and why am i still broke, boyfriendless and still looking for my lipgloss?

TISNF.

maybe it's because you're so gorgeous and guys are intimidated by your hotness! :p

Yep. For sure.:)

I just realized I used the wrong "waste"(I had to go back to edit it) in my post. lol I meant "waist". I hope that wasn't a subconscious slip as in he's a "waste" of my time. lol lol

I'm kidding.:p

lol lol lol http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/41.gif My God this post is hilarious. Well, yes, a guy can be fugly on the outside and have a wonderful personalitly, but I just wouldn't be able to get excited over a guy like that. 12 fingers?? lol lol. I do think it's possible to regenerate body parts, by way of turning skin cells back into an embryonic state, but with normal numbers though. Not to regenerate 12 fingers. lol.:D

Well, Mr. Hottie possesses both. He's a cutie on the outside and a sweetie on the inside. What more could a girl ask for?:)

Awww thanks for the compliment AKA Monet. I wouldn't really say I'm that intelligent, it's just that I think we all have a lot of knowledge about the things we love. But yes I do try to keep myself clean and presentable and would want him to do the same.

lol lol lol @ the last part of your post. Yes, I've gone out with guys who had asteroid faces, but it never grew into anything more, because I wasn't physically attracted to them. Guys seem to be physically attracted to me, it's just my conversation that drives them away. I guess they think I talk too much.:(:D So I guess I'll keep the one I have. He likes talking to me. :)

So I am wondering, do guys still approach women these days? No, I am not talking about "hollaring at a playa" -- like the little garbage cleaner boy hooped and "heyed" me in the parking lot while I was trying to go to work...

Yeah, I am talking about when you are standing in line at the grocery store in flip flops and bummy clothes as all get out and then the finest human male specimen on the planet attempts an articulate conversation with just Y-O-U!!!

Has that happened to anyone and if so, I want details!!!

It's happened to me twice in my dating life and maybe once in my married life... Interesting how the boys do notice the ring finger on the left hand these days... And the irony is that I could be dressed up as all get out with my hair and nails done and all the azzhats come out, and then I get treated like dirt, especially when I am walking out with an extremely pricey item--like Máximo Extra Añejo... LOL...
