So, stupid question, especially when you don’t have a relationship. But still I want to know…..

Well, I haven’t had a love life for months (N) …… Just dating, but is so shallow. I’m getting kind of sick of it. Really hope I’ll find someone special soon.

I'm not having a love life at the moment..... <Bum<< I haven't been on a date for months..... I'm also hoping to find someone special soon....

I'm gonna top everybody posting on this topic by sharing something rather personal with ya all. And just so you all know, I'm not the hunchback of the Notre Dame or anyting. I always find myself a nice enough person. Not stupid, not scary, not boring. However: I have NEVER had anything even remotely resembling a real lovelife. I once dated a guy for three weeks. That was the longest ever and also happened about 10 years ago. I'm such a sad case. Maybe it has someting to to with my not being sure about a heap of things. Of maybe I just have major trust isseus. It's not that I don't like guys. I'm just ingnorant when it comes to me knowing weither a guy likes me. I just don't see it and therefore don't respond to it. Also only the weirdos seem to like me. I don't know why. It doesn't bug me a lot. I'm pretty happy on my own. However: people I know are weirded out by it. That's why I started that internet dating thing. Big mistake, not my thing, stopping with that jadajadajada.
It's just that I've never met anybody that I thought I could really fall in love with.
Possibly it's because the kind of guys I like do not excist.

Gonna stop right now. This is all way too much.

Oh yes, and if any of you guys decide to make fun of me or hold this info against me: I'm gonna make you regret the day you ever learned how to type and start up a computer (Winker)
Nah seriously: don't

Convention is something that a lot of people want in there lives, to fit in with the norm and do what everyone else is doing. You can’t switch on TV without some soppy love story and you want that soppy love, even if part of you is saying its just media hype, I can sprout clichés forever and you still might not believe me or feel any better. At the end of all things it should only be you that matters, if your happy being single you shouldn’t let people push you around, look at Dom. Almost 30 and not settled down or even with a long term partner, he is just enjoying his life and being a free spirit, the truth of the matter is your life is expected to be one arc, if your not servicing children by the time your 25 your some sort of freak }C/{ . I suppose I can’t say anything else because I don’t have the experience, but what I do know is, I’d rather be happy with my life than allowing other people to push me into something that’s going to make me sad.

Trust is almost instant with kids, when they are betrayed and grow into adults it’s harder to give out. You just need to do what you think is right, but don’t forget that sometimes just sometimes you need to take a little risk. (Winker)

I don’t think anyone will laugh at you. ><

Well Miranda, you're not the only one... (--) I have never gotten beyond the point of second date. With one guy I really regretted it, but he was sending all kind of mixed signals to me, and I had no idea what we were up to, so I just blew all the possibilities of us really getting together. We're still friends though, and I often find myself thinking about him and "what would've happened if..." (&*"£>

That's my sad story, although I don't really feel sad about it. The only thing that freaks me out right now is that I have a wedding next weekend, and that I don't have a date for it. My two flatmates do have a boyfriend and can bring them. I will have no one to dance with, which makes me feel like I'll be a sad wallflower that night.

BTW, does springtime has a weird effect on you too? I keep falling in love with almost every guy I see on the street! Freaky hormones...
Jo: :wub:
Jo's hormones: (BouN)

Dating? Whats that? #haha# It's been so long for me, I totally lost my "skills". My time will come. I'm back in my "boys suck" mode. I'm just waiting for a cute one to come sweep me off my feet.

Miranda, your not the only one. I can't really tell you what to do <C>> Just........someone told me last week. Only a few people fall in love the very first time they met. So don't expect some great feeling and love story. Sometimes falling in love takes some time. So if you thinking you could possibly like some guy, just give it a shot. That's what I'm going to do.
And Jo. Yes, springtime make you feel attractive to almost every guy :)

You know what. I always was kind of frightened by story's like that. "I'm 25 and never had a real boyfriend" stuff like that. But you know what. Fear is all negative and stuff. I just want to be positive. I think that would help me a lot more.
And thank You guys, for telling these stories. Now I know I’m not the only one, and it will change soon enough!

I've NEVER had a boyfriend! And I think that theres NO ONE who's ever liked me, Im a bitch. Seriously, I am.

Don't worry Miranda, we wont make fun of you and use it against you! >< I just love you way you threatened us though! ><()

Now Now Rosie!!! I <LOVE> you!!! (--)

I haven't had a boyfriend either (A PROPER ONE) (ArrggHHH ROSIE)!!

I see lots of really hott guys, but they don't really notice me much... (N) But Whenever I go out shopping or something, Mum keeps saying that all these guys and men look at me all the time!! I'm like: "are they hott?"!!!!

Anyway Miranda, NO ONE- and I mean NO ONE- will use this against you!! If they do, I will gouge their eyes out with toothpics © maddy !!!!!!!!

><()

That made me laugh(JOSH)

<LOVE> u 2! (--)

OMG!! You are a Bi0tch!! YOU TOLD THEM ALL!!

Ah well, bad memories!!!

><()

A friend of mine is going to try speed dating.
It's the latest thing in the dating world. Or at least, I think it is.
You have to talk to about 30 guys in one night. You only have 3 minutes with each. And afterwards you have to fill out a form.
I told her to report back to me as soon as she's done it.
Maybe, and I mean maybe with capital Letters: MAYBE I'll give it a shot.
But I'm saying MAYBE (Rolly)

To tell you the truth, I would only be doing that for fun.
When I decide to do it, you'll hear from me.

Yeah, I've seen that speed dating in Sex and the City. It was a huge disaster for Miranda, I believe.
Wahaha, Miranda from Sex and the City tried speeddating, and maybe (with capital letters <Ton? ) you are going to try it too! Coincidence?

Anyways, I'm hoping to see some hot guys at the wedding I have saturday. What's the saying again? One wedding leads to another? >W< Well, seeing that the people who are going to get married, I don't think there will be any hot guys. The groom himself is kinda ugly (long ponytail yet bold on top of his head (?/') ) and weird. I don't see why my flatmate wants to marry him! Well, he may be a good cook, and he's totally controlled by my flatmate, but I mean... the eye wants something too, right?

I think the "problem" with me is that I have heaps of celebrity crushes, and nobody in real life acts like the people I see on TV. And if they do, I think they're overreacting gits. I need to put my prejudices aside. I shall learn from Lizzie Bennet and Bridget Jones. ::@

Maddy, dont have a spaz. I never told anything, I just said josh. I could on about how he is and he said to me about you blah blah blah. Hes a twat!

That totally made me laugh!!!! Thatnks Jo, and your right anyway.

I read somewhere that people develope crushes on celebrities because they don't like have a lovelife and they want a partner. It was something like that.

Well, then I am in desperate need of a love life... I think I'm gonna kiss my computer goodbye and go out: the birds are whistling, the sun is sort of shining, and Jo is on the loose, looking for a love life.

#haha#

Please ladies, keep it nice and friendly here... GROUPHUG! <HuG>

Jo, official peacekeeper of hyperspace

HAHAHAH, that could be Tv series! " 'Jo on the Loose, Looking for love'. Watch next as Jo realises that her secret admirer lives next door!"

(--) That wasn't meant in a mean way. It was said (and typed) in a joking way.

Miranda, I don't think speeddating is the last thing. Have you seen the movie Hitch yet? It's totally hot :) No really, as long as you go with a friend, you never know.

Oja, als je me wil pm om te praten is dat ok!

Ok, glad to see everything is okay! ><

Good concept for a TVseries! Do you have any problem with me writing the idea down and someday start working on it? I can take experience from my own life... And maybe I should check to see who lives next door: I know there's one somewhat nerdy boy, but maybe he has hot flatmates. >W<

Only JOKING people!!

<HuG> definately needed!!

soz people

Let's hope your neighbour is not as creepy as mine. The weird internet stalking knowing everyting about me guy who started making these weird sexual remarks when I was talking about Yoga. Eewwwwwwww!

Grossss!

Yuck, that really makes me sick. Creepy guys.

That sounds interesting.... I wonder if there is something like that around here (Hmmmm) I think it could be fun and well..... You never know......

And Miranda, i would never make fun of you! ><

Ugh I can’t stand guys or girls who find toilet humour funny, Ok it’s a laugh when your teacher has the runs and its dripping all over the place, but when it’s lightening your arse and giggling like a fool when you fart, that’s just grim. I feel for you I really do, what the hell he could be saying about Yoda to make it sexual. Grim, truly grim when a guy is so desperate he can’t even talk in English without sex coming into the conversation, your so better off without him. (DanCe)

Here Here!!

Toiliet Humour = Gross and, like Rich puts it, Grim

Ack!!

What a freak!!! Thats so gross and freaky. Kick his ass next time he says anything!!! ..... or I will.. hehehe


Feel free to take that idea Jo, and check you next dooor neighbours flatmates and report back ASAP. lol

i wish i could talk to my neighbors... the ones directly next door to my dads house (yes there are 2 of them: brothers.) are really cute and my stepmom says she sees one of them all the time, but im over there every other week, so ive only seen 1 of them twice and the other one 3 times in the past YEAR. (actually OVER a year...almost 2) and then the house next to their house is ANOTHER guy, and ive seen him a few times. and ive actually seen all 3 of them playing basketball. i swear, Mandeville is like a breeding ground for hot guys! i have many examples: most of the guys in my neighborhood (yes, ive seen MANY cute guys outside when i ride my bike) and Ian Somerhalder was raised in that city....i think thats example enough... <LOVE>

<DiE<

Well aren't you the lucky one Katie!!??!??!! Anyway, there aren't that many cute guys where I live...... hmph!! I see them when I go into the city though, but they are 'city kids'... I am a 'semi-city kid'!!

lmao

Maddy, does the old sugar trick work still? Can I get to the neighbours to ask for a cuppa sugar and hope that some cute guy will open the door? #haha#
Then my flatmates will know I'm up to no good, cuz I can always borrow anything from them, and I know for sure they have sugar that I can borrow (Winker)

Hey, let's do some sort of assignment for today: if you're going out (to school, college, store, mall, whatever) and you see a cute guy: laugh at him. That's the first step in flirting. Also, make up a really good first line... I'm rubbish at them (*&_

Smile at cute guys. I think I can do that.
First lines: noop. I also suck at those.

I heard that supermarkets are great places to meet guys. Just run into them with your shopping cart. And ey presto: first contact. I know, it's corny, but at least it's something. A friend of mine once told me there's good vibes in my supermarket so I should give it a try.

Yeah, I have thought about the supermarkt too, and seeing that there's a small mall with three supermarkets near my studenthousing, I could meet lots of guys there. Problem is that they all seem to travel in packs, or that they buy excessive amounts of beer (which is a no-no for me) or that they already have a girlfriend >{>

I'm gonna stick with the computercentre at uni. I have to go there today anyway, so I'm gonna keep my eyes open (*&_ (Winker)

supermarket, computercentre, sporclubs, busstop.... I think you can meet a nice guy everywhere, but I think it's not so good to completly focus on 'meeting someone'

I agree with ya Linda.
People always say: don't go looking for love, it will find you. Well, I've been not looking most of my life, but love never found me. ><()
Maybe love doesn't know I moved to Arnhem. Or maybe it did find me but I was so busy "not looking" that I didn't see it.

Is that too weird.

No, I have that same experience! When you're too busy "not looking" you can miss certain looks guys can give you, and therefore miss an opportunity to flirt... So, *insert "leermoment"* to be able to find love, you should not be fixed on finding it, but you also shouldn't be "not looking"...

Love is difficult... <C>> Does anyone have Dr. Love's phonenumber?

look under rocks..... or in tree hollows...... or in the freezer section of the supermarket..

I'm not helping!! I dunno, I'm too young to REALLY understand yet!!......

Yeah not looking. But can someone tell me how to do that? ><()

Dr Love? No, don't have his number :) Anyone knows how to get cupido attention?

I KNOW! get some rocket flares and glow sticks, he should see you. and if that doesnt work, he LOVES cupcakes, so you could throw one his way...

ive actually made contact with one of my neighbors a couple months ago. him and his equally cute friend were throwing a baseball, and me and Katie were walking on the other side of the street, and one of them threw the ball into the ditch on our side. so i got the ball and threw it back and it landed in like the middle of the street ( #haha# i cant throw far to save my life) and then he said "thanks" and i said "no problem!" (oooh yea, im a smooth one #haha# )and we walked away. then ive only seen him like once after that....

i dont think i have a problem with "flirting". i cant say i have much experience, because ALL the guys in my school are poopheads and none of them are cute...lol. it sucks

Thats the same with me Katie..... all the guys are stupid, lame, mean, or just too weird!! And some are friends!! So that rules them out....

As for throwing the ball back --> GO KATIE!!

yea, the guys that could, maybe, possibly be slightly ok, just arent....and boys at 13 and 14 havent quite matured yet....maybe thats why i always fall for older guys. like 20 and older....age is just a number ~Wink~ . i always say that in front of my dad when im talking about Dom. its REALLY funny.

I always had the same thing! But now I'm 20, and I think guys my age are just kids ><()

Figures ay? Just when your at the right age, BAM, it all disappears: the waiting, the sex appeal, the fantastic love life you were expecting....

Once qoted by a great person I know!!

MADDY!! #haha#
