Bf/Gf (Page 36 of 48)

Sweet jebus that was pretty depressing.

Don't be so absolute Si. Relationships in and of themselves aren't horrible - some are and some aren't, but every one isn't doomed to failure.

I can relate to wasting time and energy Si, believe me. I spent the better parts of two years with one girl, and it still didn't work out. Finding out what does and doesn't work for you isn't a mistake or a failure; and yes, something good does come out of them. Narrowing down the right girl or guy by even just one more would-be Mr./Mrs. Perfect turns out to be worth it in the end.

There's a saying we have over here that was meant to describe slightly different circumstances, but I think its message still applies pretty well here. "Sometimes you have to slay a few dragons before you find your princess."

I won't go into the military interpretation of the phrase, but it's straight forward enough isn't it? Nothing good comes without effort, and some people just have to put out a lot more than others. It's not fair how the dice falls that way, but that's how it is, and some of us have to deal with it. Don't give up on yourself Si, and use this to make yourself stronger, because it sure as hell didn't kill you.

Derailed thread is derailed.

To answer the question on the first page: I am one of the females of the BFFC that has a boyfriend.

Since we're talking about relationships and whether they work, etc., I will mention that I have been dating mine for nearly 5 years. It has been very tough to maintain a relationship for this long, what with all the differences and such, but I've stuck with it because I love him and wouldn't trade him for anything else in the world.

We meet a few wrong people for us so that when the right one comes along, we truly know how to be grateful. That's how I see it.

I have a new boyfriend now and feel pretty optimistic about it.

lol, good point

Hear, hear, Si. *clinks champagne flute filled with cider (I hate champagne xD)* Good luck to you on your road of relationships. May your destination be bliss.

Very poetic, I'm touched.

It's called a champagne flute because it's traditionally used only for drinking champagne. There are different types of flute glasses used for different types of liquer. Wine flutes look different than champagne flutes. *shrugs* I mean, champagne is just sparkling wine that comes from the Champagne region of France, so I don't see why wine flutes should be different from champagne flutes, but there it is. Personally, I like brandy snifters. They look cooler.

Did any of that make sense?

You are far too evil SciFi...Even Sidious would be impressed...

Beer, wine, champaign, it's all evil.

Very well, good luck snagging whichever poor, unprepared soul has caught your eye.

Oya! I'm surprised no one brought that up sooner, or commented on it.

Well good luck--and yeah, don't say anymore. Even on a forum, it could jinx it.

It certainly can be. My Bible teacher had a friend come in and talk about how much its screwed up their life.

Its all unnecessary. Can be fine, but only if you're careful.
