Chrono, what are you doing here?! You should be out practising your girl-chasing skills, chop chop now. :biggrin:

Polly, poor Chrono has no problem with his girl-chasing skills, it's the girl-catching skills he's been having trouble with...or more that he keeps catching the wrong ones. It seems to be a bit of an epidemic around here.

What skills? I don't think I have those.

Moonbear knows all about what's happened with my "skills".

I must agree with getting the wrong girls all the time.

I meet lots of cool ones but I would have to say none of them fit my description, which is a flexible one.

As a math major, it is very hard to meet girls that will accept a math guy. Most of the time they will try and poorly convince you that other programs are better or math is a waste of time.

I'm not saying they wouldn't go out with me, but to talk and have conversations that, in my opinion, are lame is not what I am looking for.

Talking about music is not practical since I never pay attention to it. Same for movies. Same for any type of gossip.

I talk to girls, but if I were to spend more time with a girl, we would run out of topics or something. It doesn't happen often I don't think, but I just don't like the idea of bumping my intellectual down just so I can have a conversation. I'm NOT saying they are stupid, but they just simply don't like to think anymore than they have too.

With my last girlfriend, conversations weren't a problem because all we did was ****. I'm down with that, but those types of relationships can cause problems and waste time (well not waste...).

My dilemma with women:

I can find attractive ones who will date me. But they're not much for conversation.

I can find smart ones that will date me. But i don't find them attractive.

I only met one ever that was both, that relationship certainly didn't go the way i would have liked.

Further, the attractive and non-conversational ones seem to get eviler the more attractive they are.

Now I can't date someone I'm not attracted to, it just doesn't work. BUt dating the average bump on the log, no matter how attractive, isn't very appealing either.

I sound like my friends now...dear god.

Just have patience, it takes a little longer to find them, but they are out there.

WEll as i said, i did find one, it just didn't work out, so unless the odds are worse than 7 billion to one, there's potetially at least one other...

That reads way more depressing than it should.

21 and single. Have been single for close to 5 years now.

My hope was just greatly diminished.
 
  • #62
Yeah, so i am not the only one in my suffering...

The thingy which i hate my self about is that i loved my ex, and it still has a fixed position in my mind, i was stupid that i adjusted my mind to look at one girl only..i am deadly seroius that i find some ones attractive and they like me, but i am used to the idea that i have that girl and that's sit...

It might not mkae sense for some...but this is the sad thingy as what it is :cry: She gave me an Axe in my Skull, but thanks Lord since my skull is strong enough not to be broken :rolleyes:

Still life goes one...[ I heard it somewhere...where...where?...i forgot :biggrin: ]

I'm sorry, its a painful state.
 
  • #65
It's not painful, it's wasteful. We could have become friends if he would only tell me, and what good friends we would be. But this stupid man has to disappear. Well he could have been abducted by aliens, I would never know.
 
  • #66
Well, in general that doesn't work. Women always seem to think that being friends is both desirable and possible, and it is rarely either. Sometimes, but rarely.

especially if your hot. then it's impossible.

Smurf said:

That sounds more callous than it should, bu basically is true.

I can't be friends with someone i want to date, because that desire doesn't just go away. It stays there. And i can't usually be friends with an ex. An ex i left, keeps wanting to date me, and ex that left me i kept wanting to date. It just doesn't work.

Hey dudes,
I guess LENIN speaks english better than we speak his language, at least i guess so...i might be wrong :biggrin:

You LENIN watz up? I will not discues with you here the communist party nor captalism [both are total failrue in my eyes for humanity]. Still, being aiming to be single is not really good...

Well, by having a "wife" from the opposite gender, it is good foer the psychological balance in needs, and the biological desires, simply...

I wasn't making fun of his language. I was afraid of the communist part.

Not you, it was directed to smurf, i say "dudes" so no body will feel a pressure of personal critism or disagreement.

Sorry for the misunderstanding occurs :cry:

Sounds a bit like me. All the cool ones I've met already have boyfriends so I'm already screwed there.

I'm also a math major, but I'm also dual majoring in computer science, so the girls think I'm doubly weird.

My biggest problem, I know, is that I just don't ask girls out. Other than the two I've told y'all about.

Don't worry. I've been at it for three years now, I'm definitely not changing it just to get the girls. Besides, they may think I'm weird now, just wait until I get me a good job. I don't think it's weird to get a good paycheck.

There's always hope. Even Bill Gates found a wife...she's probably enjoying the last laugh mocking all those cheerleaders who refused to date a nerd (yeah, he's not a geek, he's a nerd, I'm positive about that).

I used to think I was a geek and a nerd but apparently I am neither. Strange to me. :smile: Especially now I am not single. :-p

Not really a problem as long as you can find math. It will make it easier to not mind being single.

I don't mind being single at all.

Right now, all I want is someone to communicate with about mathematics in person. I have a friend who I talk to at school, but he's more into computers. We talk about math and all, but that's different because I would like to do Pure Math and talk with someone with similar interests.

Since I'm doing the Micheal Spivak Calculus textbook, I thought it would be nice to have someone else go through it with me. Girl or guy at this point anyways. Although I talk to the prof and he's giving me directions, I would still just like some sort of math club where everyone gets together and discusses particular problems relating to a chapter/section or problem.

By the way, anyone know any good Linear Algebra texts? I'm reading an online text and its doing fine. It happens to be much better than the one at school. I was also wondering how far in Linear Algebra should I go before do Abstract Algebra? The text goes all the way to Linear Transformations, Eigenvalues, and Complex Inner Product Spaces.

I figured I'd just ask.

I wouldn't mind something to play with on New Year's. :)

Don't feel too bad about it. Somehow I've managed to NEVER have a date on New Year's and I've survived. I don't really know why that is, just always seem to either break up with guys before New Years or don't start dating them until after...I guess that means I've never lasted a full year, huh? Well, I did with one, but he was spending New Years with his OTHER girlfriend...you'd have thought I'd have caught on when he was always busy for New Years and I wasn't asked to join him. That's what I get for letting him do his own thing without questioning it.

I don't stress too much about New Year's but there's that one awful day in the middle of February that, as a single gal, fills me with absolute dread.
Maybe I'll go to Vegas this year when that day rolls around. It's really hard to not have a good time in Vegas. Wanna come with, Moonbear? We'll find some trouble to get into. :devil: :biggrin: It'll be a hoot!

Woo hoo! Valentine's trip to Vegas! I guess I'm not good at having dates for V-day either. Once, back in high school I did...that's about it. But that's usually my fault. One of the conferences I attend always has an abstract deadline on Feb 15, so guess what I'm doing all night on Feb 14? I actually commented about this once to one of the society officers and who knew that somehow nobody had ever thought to just change it? Now the deadline is a day or two different. :biggrin:

Though, V-day has never been such a big deal to me. Do you really need a special day to tell someone you love them?

No, but people seem to need a specialday to tell me so.

I'm going to start using that day to be extra nice to the ladies I know (as if I wasn't nice enough). I figured I may just buy some Valentine's candy and just hand it out to them on that day or the day before.

You are such a sweet and thoughtful person. I remember one valentine's day, one of my math teachers brought in little tiny gift bags of candy for the gals in our class. I thought that was so nice. :smile:

Will my first date was in Val-day this year, after that i did need any more dates, just "go out".

Actually, after some earthquakes happened [being a mountian, thus not a big effect] i guess it will be my last date...EVER.

I am dating my math book, and cheating in his back with my physics book :smile: they both think it is ok, unsless i am not honest with them
