Rylan's Thread of Personal Committed Relationships

[shafnutz05]

I remember dating a girl one time. We're about 2 months in and she goes, "I wanna ask you something serious... Are you in love with me because I'm in love with you." When I responded with, "no." I could see her break apart inside... We continued dating for 4 more months until I called it off. I think I was pretty mean back then.

Haha. That was obviously before you became a Wars player and lying became second-nature to you.

The correct answer is: "I don't know what love is."

False. The correct answer is: "I want to know what love is. I want you to show me."

[Pavel Bure]

Nah I didn't like her very much.

False. The correct answer is: "Love? Lord above! Now you're tryin' to trick me in love"

This is also false. The correct answer is "What is love? Baby, don't hurt me... don't hurt me... no more."

You are all worshiping false gods. The correct answer is "Hemoglobin".

Foreigner continues to be a powerhouse live in concert. You guys have serious issues if you can't get behind that band, so many hits.

[FreeCandy44]

I kinda want a Foreigner belt.

Saw them at the Dutchess County Fair in NY a few years back. Great show. Like you said, just so many hits

I know this thread is for committed relationships so I don't want to get it off track but this is about pursuing one. I'd very much like to ask this girl out that I was in a wedding with last weekend. Problem is, I feel like I was quite the db that night in terms of actually trying to talk to her. We've known each other since highschool, but never really were friends or hang out, so we tended to just be around the people at the wedding we were close with. I was banking on being seated next to each other for dinner and also the dance for the bridal party to get to talk to her and neither of those happened. I also didn't want to seem like I thought just because we were paired up that we'd hookup. While we have roughly 1,000 mutual friends, the chances of us being out in the same place at the same time are next to none, in that it hasn't happened since probably highschool. I don't have her number and the only options would be facebook/twitter. I'm very much against being the kind of guy to hit on a girl thru social media, but if its my only choice how would you go about it? On a scale of 1 to slappy, just how lame'o would it be?

[meow]

Ask the bride/groom for her number.

[DudeMan2766]

lol. I've never spoken to the bride in my life, including last weekend.

[count2infinity]

Ask the bride/groom for her number.

bingo. I was at a party where I met my now wife. Had no real contact with her during the party, but we talked over a cup of coffee the next morning, which was a very good conversation. Didn't get her number (didn't think to ask), so I asked the guy that threw the party if he had it. He did, and the rest is history.

You might have felt like you were quite the DB that nite, but did you get an indication on how she viewed you? How much did you interact with her during the festivities? If the answer is not much at all, then you likely didn't make much of an impression and thus, going the social media route to ask her out will likely be met with snickers and chortles.

But then, this crap ain't a science either and I'm a gambler so nothing ventured, nothing gained.

To be honest I didn't really get any indication. She would start small talk (and really nothing much at all) each time we walked down the aisle at the rehearsal and the wedding and lined up to be announced walking in, but not much more. Drives me nuts because parts of the night she was just sitting at the other end of the table on her phone or playing with kids. I think we were the only two single people at the wedding, definitely in the party, and it was a perfect opportunity. Like I said I just didn't want to be a guy that thought just because we got paired up, means I should hit on her and think we'll hook up.

Looking for that committed relationship but lack the time or skills for online dating:

Matthew Valentines — yep, that is his real name — is the 35-year-old romeo behind this operation, which launched just last month to widespread Internet chatter. PDA has a simple, if intellectually troubling, premise: For the low, low price of $9.50 an hour, a “dating assistant” will set up a profile on the dating site of your choice; find and message eligible dates; and exchange phone numbers with interested parties — all without you typing a single keystroke.

Eh, it's a wedding and usually (don't want to get in trouble with any of the ladies on the board), that's green light territory for the single ladies to just find some guy to hook up with. Given that you two were some of the very few singles there certainly speaks of your characterization of it being a perfect opportunity. Doesn't really matter that you didn't want to be 'that guy'. In the long run, nobody's gonna care. And if you didn't have any previous contact with her and you take a shot via social media to get in touch with her and try to set something up and she turns ya down, then you're not really missing out on anything. If you don't, then you kick yourself for at least not trying to find out. And from experience, I can tell you that it's not fun to kick yourself.

[Rylan]

Yea I agree with Orlando about missing a golden opportunity of no downside attempt. You still have nothing to lose regardless of how you pursue.

Well, I've never had to ask the Internet for basic interaction advice with the opposite sex because im not a weirdo so I think you may need to recalibrate your scale.

Because you've been in a committed relationship since before the internet existed?
