Bells Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 There was this woman I went out with one time, I asked her out a second time...she blew me off. We are still on speaking terms...well...because we have to be....I'm good friends with some of her friends...so when we go out in groups to do things. Well, I'm the type to drink a couple of beers and that's it, but the others tend to get a little more drunk when I'm hanging with them. So we are out on the town...and she decides to have a picture taken with her top off, a cop approaches her and gives her a good tongue lashing...I thought he was going to throw her in the clink/ drunk tank for drunken disorderly. He kind of threatens her with spending night in the city jail, then he just tells her to put her top on. One night, we're seeing movies together, some sort of Sci-Fi fantasy thing, there's this ugly creature that comes out...and she says, "Oh look, there's Bells" and laughs....I was like "Ooookay." Later we walking back to our cars...and you know one of those Emergency Call boxes that they sometimes have out in case someone is...in the park...you know those devices you are suppose to use when your getting mugged or raped to contact authorities. She pushes that button and runs off a few feet ahead of us. and I was like "How old are you??" Ever seen signs like this that make you think, "Hm, now I know why she's still single AND it's a good thing I dodged THAT bullet." I'm talking about things you discovered LATER about a person that perhaps that it was a GOOD thing you got blown off. Because it would've been hell later on. OH, about her age....mid 40's....yes, I say again, mid 40's.
Woggle Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Yes you certainly did dodge a bullet. Her pushing that button is like spitting in the face of every woman that actually is assaulted or raped.

Yeah, when I was going to college....there was quite a few of those alert/call boxes where on a Sat night...college kids would be walking around in a group....push it, and run off gigglin'. Of course ,I'm considered a "Square" or "Dull" to some of these women for not partaking in such behavior

Woggle Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 You are not married to her and she is not your girlfriend so why are you even still associating with her? Just drop her and move on.

JohnnyBlaze Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Bells, I know exactly what you mean. I dodged a bullet of my own a few years back. "The One" called me up a few years after we had split up, and my question of 'what might have been' was answered. I'm glad it turned out like it did. She had done nothing with her life, lost all ambition & spark, gained 100 lbs (literally), and had a four year old daughter, which by her own admission, was conceived 2-3 weeks after she and I split up. Just as her life had taken a downturn, mine took an upturn after we split. I finished college, was starting my career, bought a motorcycle, and had a few good war stories to tell. I surmised pretty quickly that she was looking for a saviour. I guess she recalled the good times we had, and hoped that we could just pick back up where we left off. As mentioned, in her absence, my life improved, so between that and the way she left me, I really had no desire to ride in and save the day. Once she caught on that I wasn't going to be anybody's white knight, she stopped calling. Frankly, I was glad it happened. Although the split was messy, she was always in my head; what could have been? After those few meetings, though, I never asked myself that question again. I knew, definitely, that my life turned out better without her.

Beats these posts I keep saying that don't answer the topic and posts that keep saying "Move on" or "Forget about her" Answer the topic people. Quite a stupid notion, assuming just because I START a topic means I Haven't moved on. LOL If that's the case, then EVERY topic started in this particular forum means they haven't moved on either. Every, "I met this guy/ girl the other day, and they did this, and that...blah blah" every post answered by someone that says, "Forget about them, move on" just derails it.
kashmir Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I kind of feel this way. There's this girl who I'm still a bit soar about. I really started to think she was different and I began to open up to her because I started to trust her. She suddenly started blowing me off. Now she has a boyfriend who all the girls seem to love - tall, blonde hair, blue eyes. From what I knew of her, it just seems so unlike her. She seemed so different, but now I'm starting to realize that she really isn't different every time I see her, in fact she's showing herself to be egocentric and stupid like most girls. I just have that feeling that I dodged a bullet.
SoulSearch_CO Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 LOL...she sounds like a winner, Bells.
Author Bells Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 LOL...she sounds like a winner, Bells. Yeah, I better not be around her if she decides to get the impulse to "Pull" a Fire Alarm in a building somewhere.
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 From your original post it sounds like she is about 16, LOL.

I just have that feeling that I dodged a bullet. Calling girls egocentric and stupid is not going to help you find a gf, Kashmir. I have met a lot of a******s in my life but if I labelled all men jerks and only out for one thing then I would not be open to the good guys who are out there. And they are, right Kashmir? Certainly you have seen enough posts on this forum to know that there are a lot of men who are worth shyte, but you would not want to be placed in this group. For Bells, you do seem to meet your share of winners. What about meeting girls through people you know? Through friends or co-workers? Maybe you will have a better shot at meeting some quality people. It seems like you meet a lot of randomers, am I right about that?
