Lead singer of Aqua you say?
Also, Mag, you make me want to recount the bitterness that I have suffered at the hands of the fairer sex, but I don't think I could really make anything cognizant or helpful from it. Ah, what the heck, I'll try anyway.
The mentioning of being pawned off is kind of something I can relate with. I've been told, I don't know how many times, "Alex, you're a real great guy. I'm sure there's a better match out for you somewhere." or the cliched line of, "You're a good guy, and any girl would be lucky to have you, but..." If anything, it's shown me that women want whatever it is that they want for whatever reason that might be. It makes sense to them, whatever it is, but it's generally not based on logic or something truly concrete. Hell, it could even be something completely benign, but you say it at the right time. Kind of like when you're reading, and you're not really reading some great, sensational writer but you find something profound in the writing. It kind of turns you on, to the author.
And of course, all people are different. What pleases Mary Jane might not please Betty Sue.
Then you kinda got to accept the fact that guys like us aren't looking for the quick type of girl. Guys who usually don't have lady trouble are guys who got lucky, or guys who have low standards. She could have also chosen that other guy, or be going for him, because she's known him longer. I can't pretend to know the situation like you do, but more of the faults lie with her than with you. I mean, not to make that sound bad. I'm just saying that maybe she's had her mind set on this guy for awhile. Girls can get tunnel vision rather easily for something they strongly desire, moreso than men in my opinion.
Don't let it fall too hard on ya. You are a great dude, and really, you just have to persist. Do whatever you gotta do to get back in the saddle. Lose that weight, build your confidence. Just don't give up on finding love/romance.

Coil chests hate me. Allagan Tassets of Maiming is the only DRG piece so far and my Hero's Belt is better. :<
Turn 5 is insane. And we need better gear. Fireballs annihilate us (everyone but the BRD and I get oneshot) if we have less than 4 people stacked for them, which means conflags are a *** to down. Fight'll be fun once we can survive mechanics though, I can feel it.
Garuda EX is fun, but I will never willingly tank that fight ever. Which means I'll totally tank that fight once my WAR is up and ready for action. Must get Dual Harken...

Ok...
My feels for ya Mag but don't be that guy... Either go and enjoy the hell out of that night and show her the fun/cool/whatever you think yourself to be guy she missed out on being with or just don't go at all... don't be the broken animal that limps her to the door to hand her off to another man then limps off...
Rejection is part of life... we all know this... hell maybe you can find some solace in that other guy rejecting her lol...
Spath... Women are not weird creatures really... just different... hell most of the time I hear the ***you guys talk about and well you get the idea...
Women don't fall into your laps and they can't be expected to just like you if you like them... the rejection stings but you can either do something else to win em over or you take the hit and find another girl to crush on til you find the right one...
Don't set out to improve yourself for others... not that its a terrible thing or anything but I find it to be a terrible motivator as the sting wears off and so does the motivation... find a reason besides women for it and make it about you...
If they call you names for doing the same thing as some other guy does to them then they like them a lot more than they like you... that's just simple... think about it like this... when someone does something you don't like think about when your friends did something like it and how you reacted then... 9/10 times you're willing to explain it away or brush it off or act like nothing happened... though that also depeneds on the severity lol...
Also spath... Take it one punch at a time? Really? This is why we don't take advice from emo kids...
In conclusion... women... there are a whole lot of them! If you really want one then keep on going out! Find stuff to do! Strike up random conversations do some online dating idc... There's some girl talking to her friend right now about how she doesn't ahve a guy that would be perfect for you... don't be a ***...

So hard reading a Flavin post with advice in it, it always seems so depressing with all the ellipses.

Yeah, I just don't know anymore. Sometimes I wonder if I'm destined to be a bachelor for the rest of my life. Bah, oh well. Tsk tsk, no thinking like that. You shall have the most glorious of women as your counterpart, you just haven't found her yet.
Hell I'll be in Arizona sometime this year, we'll go find her then! /metal gear solid alert

Don't mind Flavinflav, his brain is filled with ellipses and judgement.

Well, he's right though. Here I am feeling sorry for myself when really it was just a rejection. I wasn't in love with this chick and it's not like she dumped me after I was with her for a year or whatever. I just need to man up and stop moping around.

Mag, you're awesome. You're funny, smart, and caring, and you're going to find an equally awesome woman. Maybe not in this place in your life, maybe not this year or even the next, but the patience will be worth it.
But you can't let one rejection get you down. So, I'm going to just be brutally honest, ok? :-(
Women aren't one size fits all. What one woman likes, another might hate. So for starters, you can't treat one woman in a standoffish way because a previous woman disliked it. Figure out what the woman you are with likes, don't try to base your perception of her off of other women.
You got your hopes up too fast (from the limited bits I know of, just from lurking. I could be wrong.) It seems like you had two lady friends that you were thinking of, you went on a few dates with each of them, and started being hopeful with one after just a few dates. Pre-relationship dates are water-testers. After several dates, if it develops then that's awesome, but you can't get hopeful after only a few dates because at that point she's still trying to decide what she thinks about you. Being excited about someone you are dating is wonderful (I'd be kinda worried if you were NOT excited about someone you were dating) but you just can't be too hopeful that early.
You had mentioned before something about her bringing up where it was going, and returning the question to her. This most likely freaked her out. I'm not saying it freaked her out rightfully so, if she didn't want to discuss it then she shouldn't have brought it up. But after only one or two dates, she does not yet know you enough to know where she wants it to go, so asking that of her probably felt to her like you were pressuring her for a long-term answer immediately. Next time you feel like asking a girl where she wants it to go, just breathe in, breathe out, and take it easy.
But even after all that scolding, you do need to know that this was most likely not your fault. It was probably nothing you did at all. Since she decided she liked the other guy, I'm guessing she had had her eye on him for awhile, even before you dated her. So she was probably never giving her all into her relationship with you to begin with-- part of her mind was always on the other guy. She wasn't giving you her full attention and she wasn't giving you a full chance. That's her loss, she missed out on knowing a really swell guy, whether she would have formed a relationship with you or not.
So, just be patient. Your time will come, sir.

Nothing wrong with a little moping after something like that. She kinda got your hopes up, so I understand how you feel. This is an acceptable time to go out drinking and into a strip club. Find a friend or two, get a lap dance, just have fun. I'll mimic what everyone else has said and point out there are plenty of women in the world, you'll find the right one for you eventually.
Also Flavin is an idiot. My wife is the first person in the world I ever wanted to change for, and she has made me a better person for it. She has inspired me to do the tings I love and helps me every day.
If you feel getting into shape will improve your odds with women, go for it. But don't get too hung up on thinking women will swoon over you once you get that a 6 pack. I know you have heard it a million times, but confidence in yourself will help more than anything else. Look at the silver lining, how much better did you feel when you finally got it off your chest and talked to her about how you felt? Just take that same courage you had to build up and try to hang on to it.
Be proud of all the good you have, and just try to be happy about the life you've got. Like someone said earlier. You've got a level head, a career path you enjoy, and a lot of good things going for you. Just don't get caught banging a student and life will work itself out.

I am an idiot this is true... but you obviously misunderstood what I was even saying... there's a difference between doing something for someone your in a relationship with and hanging your whole changing yourself on the prospect of future gets... I've seen people say it time after time and its usually not a motivator as the pain slinks away and you get back into your normal routine... you find motivation in yourself and do it for yourself and its more likely to stick...
I laugh to myself a little as you type some of this out as you come in here looking for advice on how best to step out on your wife because you're already bored with your marriage... can I cheat on her just a little and it will be alright guys?!? give me the go ahead please!
I'm not saying it's not alright to mope... sure it sucks when you get turned down... but if you let something as little as that crush you whats gonna happen when something real happens?
Sure its all nice and good that everyone wants to console everyone and tell em what a great guy they are but what good is it helping someone to wallow in self pity and dig a deeper hole they can't get out of... sypmathize but give em a kick in the pants... you think he's a great guy? I'm not saying he isn't but half of you saying this don't really even know the guy... you want whats best for him? Buy him a drink and tell him to get back out there... help him instead of commiserating and agreeing with how terrible the world is... and how all women are so weird...

Hey Mag. Not sure if it will help, but at least you didn't walk in on her doing the reverse cowgirl to some other guy on your anniversary.

And you still missed the part where I said my wife knew about it, was okay with it, and was actually her idea.
It's *** up and hard to understand I guess. My wife and I love and trust each other enough, that we don't really get jealous.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
