AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the frustration with repetitive threads seeking dating advice, particularly from individuals over 18. Participants express that these posts are becoming tiresome and suggest that adults should seek advice from friends and family instead. There is a call for users to learn from their experiences and move on rather than posting about trivial interactions, which some find creepy. The conversation touches on the nature of relationships, with some participants acknowledging the emotional complexities and challenges faced by younger individuals. Others advocate for a more supportive environment where people can seek advice without judgment, while also emphasizing the importance of personal growth and social skills outside of online forums. The thread highlights a tension between the desire for community support and the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own relationship experiences.

I seriously hope this thread wasn't started because of my thread.

Let's just say...your thread was no help and leave it at that. I'd seriously apply the last sentence of my OP. Seek professional help. Sorry, your post was creepy. Stalking people to see what they are up to? No, that's not acceptable behavior. Not even in joking.

I'm not trying to be funny here guys. Some of these post really seriously do creep me out when I read what you all are doing...


And then when someone posts a question, you always get someone responding with stuff like "yeah, that's why I just devote all my time to reading books and never interact with anyone outside of my basement"...as if that's serious advice (but sadly they are serious because they say it over and over again in multiple threads).

That doesn't mean I won't do things for him once in awhile, I'm just through with being my significant other's personal assistant/mother.

I've always screened for that early in relationships, and they end quickly if that's the expectation. The current boyfriend is someone I've known for a very long time (we dated once before too, quite a long time ago, but "stuff" happened in between). Back then, he didn't even think I knew how to cook. :biggrin: I used to tell him that I only cooked what I could make in one pot. I wasn't lying, I was only in my first year of grad school and only HAD one pot, so everything had to be cooked in it. Not my fault if he interpreted that to mean I didn't know how to make things that required multiple pots, pans or bakeware. o:) He stuck around anyway, and even cooked some delicious meals for me because he was worried I was too skinny and not eating enough! :!) So, in case anyone ever wondered why I'd want him back so many years later...he cooked AND complained I was TOO SKINNY, oh, and he thought I was too messy too...I'm not so bad about that anymore now that I have more house to store stuff in...but a guy who sees clutter?! That's a keeper! :biggrin:

You and your BF sound like you were meant to be together and just took different roads to get there. :approve:

For me, each road lead to opposite ends of the universe or ended in a fiery crash with no survivors. :-p

I have grays, but all squirrels are welcome.

Must be single.

I didn't say wealthy, he just needs to have enough money to cover his own expenses, my days of financially supporting men are over. He must be able to take care of his own needs. That doesn't mean I won't do things for him once in awhile, I'm just through with being my significant other's personal assistant/mother.

Oh ok, just clearing that up.

I would never want to take care of someone else either, so we're in the same boat.

About ten years ago I raised a couple of grays after they fell out of a nest. I was mowing the front lawn and happened to notice two little things that looked like rats right in front of the mower... they were so close to getting chopped up. One was a male and the other was a female. Chip and Dale.:biggrin: They were so young their eyes probably opened up not too long before I found them... had to feed them with an eye dropper for a couple of weeks. When they got a little older, one thing they absolutely loved was Sandy's Pecan cookies.

The female was always sweet as can be and loved to be held. She was so attached that whenever she would hear a loud noise or something frightened her, she would dart over to me, run up my pants leg and cling onto my shirt as tight as can be. When the male started to develop an attitude problem (squirrel puberty?) I figured it was time to release them. They stopped by to visit off and on over a two year period and later just stopped visiting all together.

It was always fun taking them places to show them off to people. Everyone loved pet squirrels!

Um...that's not what my thread was about. It's obvious you didn't bother to read what I said in it. I am mentally fine thank you very much.

We had these amazing tiny dark brown squirrels up at Isle Royal National Park (lake superior, MI, USA) that would wake us up with their screech/chirp chatter chatter chatter at 5:30am. I've never heard anything like it.

These had better be female squirrels you're talking about, otherwise you're horribly off topic.

Personally, if you're talking about a female squirrel running up your pant leg and clinging to your shirt that's as tight as can be, then you might be beyond all girl advice.

One was a female. Funny though, she had more sense than some of the women I've dated.

You yourself said you made up a bogus screen name to trick your girlfriend to get information from her.

Seriously, you don't think this might be just a *little* creepy?

I truly am sorry your girlfriend broke your heart; however, that's no excuse for what you did.

This is not healthy behavior.

It's my fault that I didn't explain why that happened, but that's giving away too many details. If you knew the context behind it, it wouldn't sound as creepy to you.

I don't care what your rationalization is. What you did was wrong. Period.

I would never do that. So no matter what you tell me, I'm going to give you the same answer. It's creepy and childish.

Exactly.

I have no respect for that.

If you guys want to be narrow-minded about the whole thing then whatever floats your boat, I guess.

And my ex evading from telling me why we broke up is such the adult thing to do.

She can do what she wants.

You're the most insecure person I've met... in my life and ONLINE!

No respect.

Listen, I know you aspire to be an alpha male, but some people like to know the reason why they're being abruptly dumped.

No, this is due to the number of threads, I think there is one thread started in 2003 that had over 10,000 replies or something crazy like that.

Was that the squirrel trouble thread? er, I mean girl trouble?

So, I have this girlfriend I ordered on the internet. We'd like to come over for dinner.

There's just one problem. Someone stole her luggage at the airport so he she doesn't have much clothes. Could we borrow some of yours?

I don't think it matters whether she's the same type as you. She doesn't worry about things like that. By the way, she's crippled. And they stole her wheelchair at the airport when they stole her luggage, so I'll have to carry her. Just so you know. And she doesn't talk much. She's kind of shy that way.

Do you think Bianca and I have any future?

By the way, do you know where I can get rid of a big box?

I liked that movie. :)

I highly doubt she abruptly dumped you. I think you never caught on that she never really like you to begin with.

you said:
I know the reasons why it happened, which I waited so long for, but with that piece of knowledge I can say I have my closure.

Please don't BS me.

Right dude, she stayed with me for a year and a half because she never really liked me. You're making a ton of sense right now.

Considering that you yourself said she liked another guy for about 2-3 months....take a hint and know when to move on. You can lie to me, you are going to have a harder time lying to yourself though.

I didn't know about that until after the fact, so I didn't have any foreknowledge. Again, you don't know what you're talking about and you should just stop posting.

The ends don't justify the means. You sunk to her level just for personal gratification.

Come again? You directly lied to her to get that information.

Do you see how acting this way can make things snowball into a nasty mess quite quickly?

I'm not even going to get into this. Someday you'll understand, hopefully, but I doubt you will.

....yeah okay.

Moral of the story: You don't spy on people behind their backs. If you're going online to get dirt, you're not mature enough to be dating. That's a violation of her trust. What you did was very unethical.
