He made us official on Facebook. If this isn't a step towards really being official, I don't know what is.
Actually, He did it because this weekend was our first time hanging out with each other in the presence of our mutual friend who introduced us. But it was that awkward moment where He hadn't mentioned to anyone that we were dating, so what do we do? Suddenly embrace and make out and oh, btw, we're dating mutual friend?
No, we decided to play it cool.
But apparently He wasn't subtle enough because the mutual friend asked what was going on between us. Were we gazing into each others' eyes too long? Did she notice how He was touching my leg and trying to hold my hand?
At the end of the night I was teasing Him for not being more upfront with his friend (he's known her longer than I have) in the first place. So, later that evening He asked to go steady...over Facebook.
What a dork.
I say, "we were never friends." Once we're over all obligations are done.
What I mean by "we were never friends" is that there's a clear distinction between why you end up friends with someone and why you date someone. There's a level of possession, need, desire with the one you date. You don't feel any pressure of hurting feelings if you tell a friend you went out on a hot date. There's no pressure because there's less emotions invested. While you can care and love your friends, the level of intimacy is less intense than with someone you date.
I used to feel so guilty for not being able to be friends with an ex. I felt like I was just a bitch and couldn't get over that person. The truth is I never really get over any of my boyfriends. Or maybe I just don't want that reminder of failure in my face. I don't want that person around and watch them move on while I wonder "what happened to us? Why didn't he want me?"

The way I see it now is if someone thinks or has the audacity to want to be my friend after a relationship, I probably didn't mean that much in the first place. Wouldn't he be hurt that our relationship ended too? If he really wanted me and just me, wouldn't he want all of me to the very limit and wouldn't settle for less, especially since he has all of me right there and now? Anyone who can make the transition from lover to friend, in my eyes, probably didn't invest as much emotionally to begin with. The loss wasn't that great and, therefore, the shift in relationship status isn't that big a change.
He always thought of me as a friend. A friend he could fuck. A fucking friend does not a girlfriend make.
Why is Facebook recommending I befriend The Irishman? And how does it know that we know each other? We have no friends in common!
I showed two of my friends photos of the guy I was with Saturday night. The consensus - he's cute.
You should talk to him.
Are my friends dating naive? You can't turn a one-nighter into something else. The illusion is gone. He thinks I'm an easy slut. And he only wanted me for my bootie anyway. He's not interested in me.
He is really cute though. We're friends on FB now.
[Dating LA] completed the quiz "Are you destined to be married for life or single for life?" with the result There's hope for you, but not yet.
Emotionally, you're still too selfish but you have hope. You're able to be honest and respectful and you might be able to work at it if the right person came along. Just give it time and don't rush things...
One of the things The Canadian has turned me on to (other than being his ideal goth girl) is Lexulous on Facebook. I'm not a competitive person, or at least I'd never admit it. Truth be told I hate to lose, so if I think I won't win, I don't even bother to try.
Lexulous has turned into one of the main ways we keep in touch as, lately, he's been working insanely long hours and can't chat with me much.
And then I see this notice today. "Maciej meets Patty via Lexulous!" They're engaged.
FUCK YOU!
I hate shit stories like this. I hate reading or hearing about how two people met long distance and made it work. How can they do it and not us?
FUCK THEM!
