You'll feel better after half of them have big drama fights on FB and change their relationship status to "single."

Give it time usually the ones that do that...they're broken up a few months later. LOL

 

 

Now it's easy to be depressed right now but I am going to be strong and stay positive. I was not expecting to see so many of my friends posting about their girlfriend in one day. I am happy for all of them even though I sit in my drawls alone.

 

So I plan to stay up to 4am in the morning to figure this dating out so I can be with someone in a couple months.

 

 

 

Anyone else in this situations? All your friends are happy and involved while you are single?

 

 

BTW: Remind me not to go on Facebook on Valentine' Day

I am so pissed right now, my entire face is HOT and too mad to go to sleep.

 

 

I will get this figured out, if I have to stay up all night. I can figure everything else out except this dating mess.

 

I figured out how to do Algebra

 

I figured out how to do fractions

 

I figured how to write term papers

 

I pass all my courses in college and got my degree

 

 

 

Why the hell is this dating mess so complicated?? WHY??

 

Sounds like your weakness lies in Chemistry and Biology.

Ugh. Facebook is SO lame. Who the hell lives their lives through that?

 

 

One friend that I made a decision to delete was because of what she posted on her wall.

 

 

She took a picture of the gift that her husband gave her which was 15 twenty dollars bills and then stated how she is so blessed that he is in her life and good men do exist.

 

 

Who the hell does that?

Answering calls or texts is a chore?

 

Yes you need to let them know where you plan on being as that is common courtesy when in a relationship. That shouldn't be a chore either.

 

Weekends usually involve spending time with friends and your SO is a friend so how is that a chore?

 

Ahh but Pyro. Don't you know that being friends with an SO is the last thing many people want? They want someone who's hot, sexy, and who they can't stand but for their hot sexyness. To many people being a real friend and being a lover are mutually exclusive.

 

Hence, they don't really want to spend much non-sexy time with their lovers.

Someday the youngins will understand just how destructive Facebook is to one's emotions AND they are taking your information and selling it to corporations! No thanks!

I have never heard anyone say that they don't want to be friends with their SO. That is a stupid belief IMO. That is a disaster of a relationship.

It's not because that's what they WANT. It's because finding someone who can both be your lover and best friend is very hard.

 

People's personalities are so varied...finding a suitable match in all areas...just think about that for a good minute.

 

Probably easier to win the lottery.

A saying that has been going around is that 'I don't watch soap operas because I have Facebook'

This is what it's all about! The old braggadocio!

But probably not a good idea to flash cash on there because there are plenty of crook who would like 15 $20 bills!

That's what plenty of people truly believe. Hence the term"friendzone". Which has become shorthand for people who are nice enough but they don't want to have sex with them.

 

As a side effect the person doing the friendzoning is then unable to see how a friend could ever be a lover regardless of their physical attractiveness. This leads them either to avoid sex with friends or to try to sabotage the intimacy of friendship in order to have sex with that person.

Friendzone means friend and nothing more.

 

SO means both SO and friend. How can you possibly devote your time and energy into being committed to someone if you don't think of them as a friend? How can you respect someone and vice versa if you don't think of them as a friend?

A lot of the time, when I see posts about "I have the best boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife" on Facebook, I think people are just trying to convince themselves. That stuff gets annoying.

Am I the only one who thinks a primary facebook photo of you and your SO kissing is retarded?

Hi PhillyDude, I know exactly what you mean. This week, I realised that the guy I was dating didn't want to continue seeing each other but was too afraid to really tell me.

 

At the same time my best friend got engaged and over the weekend two different friends have announced their pregnancies. I'm really happy for them but perhaps selfishly at the same time I feel so low and am wondering if I''ll ever have what they do.

You're looking at the boyfriend/girlfriend scenario through rose colored glasses. Some things are cool about it. Some things suck.

 

Some of those guys had to watch magic mike, have to tag along shopping while a football game is on, have to explain every female friend they add on facebook--how they met her and what her function is in their life, if they want to hang with friends they have to get the ok from their SO first.

 

I can go on and on. Bottom line, nothing in life is perfect. Right now your problem is lack of intimacy. But once you get it, you'll be faced with other kinds of bs you're not currently facing. Be happy for that.

This is not true.

You need to stop hearing about relationships from people with ****ty relationships.

 

Obviously people will share crappy stories about relationships but wait until you actually have one with a sane chick and see how it actually is.

 

If your friends stay in relationships like that - that says more about your friends than relationships as a whole.

It basically goes like this:

 

In order from worst to best....

 

- Bad relationship

- Single

- Good relationship

Totally agree. I loved doing things with my Ex. We did plenty of things I wouldn't necessarily enjoy by myself but with her they were an adventure.

 

Even though couples breakup it doesn't mean they were in a "bad relationship". Sometimes relationships only last for certain amount of time due to compatibility or timing or circumstances out of our control. The experiences in the relationships are what really count.

How old are you?

Im 25 and I dont have this issue. Most of my friends dont constantly put stuff about their S.O on their Facebook.

I dont even like to change my relationship status...I just delete single.

 

Sounds like you are desperate for a girlfriend. I kind of pity the girl who ends up with you, she wont mean anything to you she will just be a body filling a void in your life.

I think you've described at least half of existing relationships.

You guys definitely don't want to add me on Facebook...or you'll be assaulted by an endless barrage of pics of my wife and I in various places or of my kids at Disneyland or doing all sorts of cutesy stuff.

 

Honestly...I don't even really "socialize" on Facebook that much...it's become more my personal scrapbook than anything.
