I've decided that it is better to admire from afar than take your chances with relationships. I learnt today that I was very happy admiring an individual, talking without communication. It was nice, I felt good, and I did intend to just talk probably for ever. It would be nice if I communicated a message and it was accepted, but not high on my list.
I am very shy.
However, I started talking to her about, well it's that time of the summer, so I'll just put: "Stuff". It wasn't "stuff" specifically, just in general. However, I was coaxed into saying much more than I really wanted to, and for a good reason. God I really hate myself for that.
I'm sure you can guess what happened.
So now we're "friends", like so many people are, and it's cripplingly depressing. Women suck. They exist and are unnoticeable like the sun. You can't help but look at them from a long way away and they make you feel warm. Go near them, let on more than you want to and you can't help but say more, in the hope you go through and come out the other side like two films I probably liked far too much. After all, what's the worst that could happen? You could be crushed by them. Well, if you don't try that's going to happen anyway.
Anyway, song's over now.
I'm never going to say anything more than I should to a woman ever again, even if I have to kill myself.

I totally agree, my girlfriend is my best friend. I trust her above anyone else.
> Rob, mate. Women do not suck.
Erm, I'll refrain from the obvious, but women are great, you just gotta find "the one"

Because it's not just your opinion they want, it's reassurance that they're still okay. Maybe it's not the best way to deal with your insecurities, but hey, whatever gets you through...
You missed osmething vital off that list. Per... pers.. persona.. Ah,
> breasts. :-D
:-D
Lol..
Well, my girlfriend and I, we started out being great friends, really good. Best mates. And that really helps in a relationship.
Rob, mate. Women do not suck.
I dont know what to say, but dont be depressed..
"You should never say "you've put on weight" or "how old are you?", but apart from that, you should go for it!"
No offense, but what the hell is with that...? If someone wants my opinion, I give it to them, that's why they asked. My opinion counts for one person in the population of billions, and it's important, for some odd reason, for them to have mine. So why lie?

I was "friends" with a girl for about 4 years. I fancied her from afar, but she always gave me the impression that she wasn't interested, her parents would not approve, and that was all that mattered to her. After 4 years, (and a few flings with other ladies), I had truely given up all hope on this particular girl, and was content with being her friend. Then, she dropped a big hint, and I asked her out. 10 years later, we are still together, and she is the centre of my world. Being friends is good, I think that because we were friends in the first place, we have a better relationship now.

True, but whats' that saying "You have nothing to fear, but fear itself" I was always very shy, but you have to at least try Turbonutter, don't give up on yourself. Eventually, you will look back and not believe how shy you used to be.

You should never say "you've put on weight" or "how old are you?", but apart from that, you should go for it!
> you'll end up meeting someone 10 times better.
I doubt that.
> Try watching Dead Poets Society if you want a lift
Good film.
> Good luck anyway, whatever you're hoping to do about your predicament.
Probably just wait. I know I'll feel alright - hell, I've given that advice more times than I can remember. Never experienced it though, hum.
Hum.
