Because some of us devote everything, invest our whole self into love while others don't. Or worse yet pretend to, or worst of all want to but can't.

Which leaves those of us in the first group rejected, hurt and oft times bitter from the experience.

My new plan is to hold back.

I hope it works

because love is fucking bullshit

listening to the cure always makes me feel better

Happy be-lated Birthday!!!

Listening to TOOL makes me feel better. Hopefully, you will be able to manage to attend the "SGC Meet N Greet;" they are fun events with some good individuals.

Somehow darling, at least you are getting out. It certainly beats my recent lifecyle of staying up until 7am surfing for dates on a couple of dating sites, sleep for one hour, go into work, come home, surf dating websites, wash, rinse, repeat, and everynow and then go on 2 dates until someone hates me... ahh how pathetic the lives of the lonely...

hope you had yourself a good long crash after that one.

I empathize with you and hope you meet someone wonderful. Do well & have fun!

You're very lovely. Maybe just going out and doing your thing isn't such a bad idea. I agree with what g_whiz said though...be careful not to overdo it.

A really awesome dude will come around when you least expect it. Until then, don't think on it. Just focus on you first, and dudes second.

Oh, and Happy V-Day too!

aw... *squee*

then gtfo. leave him. it's that simple. i did it to my wife.

at least you look cute, right?

I'm absolutely sure you will find another that wants you as you want them. Don't get hung up on this one, it'll get in the way of you finding happiness!

It sounds stupidly Zen but often the best course of action is inaction.

The harder you look and the more you try the stronger the message it sends to men that you are an easy score an the more hit it and quit it types you will attract.

The important question is this:

Is your drinking affecting the quality of your personal or professional life in an overall negative manner?

I've spent, at this point, about half my life as what many people would call a functional alcoholic; I prefer term drunk or heavy drinker.

Alcohol is one of our societies last demons to be left culturally acceptable but it is still vilified by those who dislike it, can not handle it or simply do not understand the attraction to sweet, sweet inebriation. I drink to much, and I have for well over 10 years now but I refuse to consider my self a problem drinker, I not only hold down my job but do well, I have a fair amount of friends whom I do more then just drink with and as a whole booze is not dragging my life down. Do I have bad mornings? Is it eventually going to effect my health and shorten my life? Are there people in my life it has driven off? Yes to all, but not to a degree I find alarming or that makes me sad and that is what makes the determination when it comes to having a 'problem.' See, no one but you can determine if you have a problem; each person has a different idea of what is acceptable when it comes to how much of the downsides you are willing to accept. If YOU are happy where are in life and enjoying things overall then your are OK. If you have reached the point where you dislike what the drinking has made you, you hate the drinking but can't stop or think that much of the negative things you feel are a direct result of the alcohol/chemicals you need to start to think about talking to people about it or getting help.

Unsolicited advice: cut out all but the soft drug of choice (alcohol is a drug ya know), learn to enjoy it without making others unhappy use it to help you cope. Stay away from hard drugs and those who use them with great regularity, there is far to much unpredictability there.

Stop by the drunks group of booze is your poison of choice.

OK..she's way hot!! and as far as the friend goes I say it's not your loss, he sounds like a jerk
