jobaba Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I'm realizing most of the threads on Loveshack are starting to look similar to me. The push/pull and reading signals and dating game threads ... everybody has a different answer and nobody is completely right. I have no interest or knowledge in serial dating with dozens of dealbreakers. And the gender wars and dating theory threads bring out my bitterness and the worst in me. So I'm trying to start something productive and different. If you're a struggling man or woman, post your progress here. I don't mean you've been on 10 dates in the past month and didn't fancy any of them. I mean you haven't dated for a while. You're struggling to meet someone of the opposite sex, maybe for the first time ever. I've been there so I know how tough it is and how much of a confidence boost succeeding can be. There's a few posters I'm thinking of and maybe this thread will inspire you. I haven't seen any joy yet since I've been here. I hope that changes.
Anela Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I wrote something, but it ended up being very long; I'm also PMS'ing, and since we can't edit our posts after a while (or after someone has responded), I don't feel like putting it out there right now. I have seen joy, though; it just gets drowned out by everything else.
somedude81 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 For some reason I'm hopeful about the new semester of college. Plenty of things I want to try differently. Classes start, and I caught a bad cold. Yay!
Janesays Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Well, I recently got a little over emotional about my birthday and behaved a little rudely to my boyfriend as a result and posted a thread here asking how I could make the situation right. A lot of people got really nasty, suggesting that my boyfriend (Who has been dating me for 10 months and known me since the 2nd grade) would suddenly become convinced that I was crazy and theorized that he was embarrassed to be seen with me in public. As well as many other insulting, nasty, downright depressing things. With that said, it was all bunk. My boyfriend was totally understanding about how I get a little depressive around my birthday and felt bad for not being more sensitive. I felt bad for being over sensitive and rude. We both apologized and spent the night cuddling and watching movies and whispering loving things to each other before retiring to bed for some awesome sex. So basically, what I want to say to people is that if they come on this board and get a bunch of toxic advice, try very very very hard not to let it get in your head. Some of the posters on here are well meaning and some of them just like kicking people when they're down. But the bottom line is, no one knows your relationship like you do. Try to give love a chance.
