EPT
I'm madly in love in a way I never previously allowed myself to be. You know, not just teenage-style hormones or whatever, but actual I-want-to-spend-the-rest-of-my-life-with-you type of love. I've always had this idea that my... uhm, I guess weirdness would be the proper word here (no need to go into a deep explanation, let's just say I'm a bit of an odd-ball XD) would prevent me from sustaining a happy and successful relationship, but this woman not only accepts me for who I am, she appreciates me for it. We've known each other for about four years (I've had a crush on her since the first day I met her, and while we fornicated at several points in time and enjoyed many a wonderful moment during those three and a half years before we got serious, things never took off for various reasons until this year), so we know each other quite well at this point, and I can safely say that I could see myself spending the rest of my life with her.

We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

Then a bit later I saw her next to the cloakroom, she and her friend were leaving. I approached, I totally locked out her friend, we talked for a few minutes, I got her number, they left. I called her next day, we agreed to meet on Monday. A few hours before the meeting she sent me a text that something came up and she cant meet me that day, but she'd gladly meet me some other time. I replied with some lame joke and that I would call her some time. And this was a week ago. I guess I will call her today. I was kinda busy, and a bit disappointed that she flaked me so I ignored her for a week. One can't just NOT contribute to this thread! | ||

All things considered I think that it went pretty well, but I've also never asked a chick out before (I'm nearly 23, Yeah I know) You jumped out of your comfort zone. Now all that's needed is to keep doing it. =) Well played, Sir! | ||

I was something of a late bloomer in that extent and used my early adolescent years to pursue such standard and fun pursuits as gaming and music. Make use of your youth and the relative lack of external responsibilities. You're not necessarily going to get that chance again. Having a fulfilling relationship isn't a matter of practice makes perfect either. You can fall into something with someone that just works with no prior relationships and of course vice versa | ||

You blew her off on purpose to get revenge on a girl who honestly had to deal with something else in her life? She said she'd be happy to reschedule with you. That's pretty douchey of you. | ||

All things considered I think that it went pretty well, but I've also never asked a chick out before (I'm nearly 23, Yeah I know) Well done  It's really hard to take that first step! Hopefully it goes well when you talk about it further with her! If it doesn't though, it's important to note that sometimes people really are just overwhelmed with their other stuff at the moment... getting turned down doesn't always mean you're an unattractive person lol. I know many a person who felt bad turning down a really great guy or girl just because they currently have too much on their plate. It's their loss. | ||

Idk if it's completely monogamous, but I know if I start talking to a girl I tend to not talk to other girls as if I'm interested like I would normally. So it didn't really catch me too off guard. | ||

I fucking hate my life sometimes. Always this fucking close. Someone who thinks like that probably isn't a great choice, just sayin' | ||
