I wish I had something like that to share... but I don't :frown:

I'm glad you think its funny. I wish i didn't have it to share. Well the second to last sentence is kinda humourous. But the situation sucks. Hence the booze filled weekend. Hard liquor is better than prozac.

Cheer up Franz, my previous relation ended up the same way after four years.
Now you're stuck with me. :approve:

My girlfriend posts here every now and then. Not often, though.
 
  • #35
Who is she, or is that a secret?

And post another picture without hiding half your face in a pillow! You're too handsome to be teasing us like that!

Then earlier this week she reveals we had broken up a long time ago. Now being a guy, I've got nothing ...
I had to read this post twice. first time I thought you were saying you had broken up long ago because your girlfriend was now a guy.

I think that would have been less painful, if creepy.

Somehow, I don't think there's anyone left on the board who doesn't already know I'm single. But I might be engaged to Enigma, I'm not sure, it was sort of a hit and run proposal over in the baking thread! :smile: Enigma, if you don't buy me a really nice ring, I'm breaking it off! :biggrin:

But I might be engaged to Enigma, I'm not sure,

You didn't say yes though... you said I didn't have to marry you to get "the goods" :wink:

Alas, I'm just a poor grad student, my love. Can't afford a ring.

I could probably fabricate one out of fiberglass... don't know what I could do for a diamond though.

Diamond? Who said anything about a diamond? Certainly you understood that with such a torrid affair over baked goods, I meant a coffee ring? :-p

Single, never had a relationship, too old to care anymore. Don't put it off just because you're young or you might end up like me.

Awww, Evo, those winged men are all alike. They propose just to get the "goods" then run off before they even give you a coffee ring, leaving a trail of little Enigmos in their wake. We should start a support group for those of us jilted by the winged men.

Her username was 0TheSwerve0. I don't think she's posted in quite some time. I'll get another picture up for you soon enough.

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.

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.

I sure hope the odds are better than that!
