Do not click unless you want to read a melodramatic description of an event that I should have stopped having to deal with ten years ago. And a tiny bit of whining. Or maybe you're just really bored.
> Has a "She who shall not be named" ex.
> After much turmoil, meets a nice, pretty girl who is younger than him and doesn't have much dating experience.
> Along comes "dream girl"/alt rock chick who likes to dye her hair.
> Can't date them both.
Barring the fact that I'm not dating either one, it's not too different. And the dyed-hair girl has a boyfriend, but someone I know talked to her and she said she'd date me if she and her boyfriend broke up.
I'm now reminded of why being single for so long didn't bother me. First world problems.

You'd put the other one off on the off chance that the rock chick would break up with her b/f some time soonish?
In reality, I should just try dating the girl who's available and be open with her if I feel like it's not working out or whatever.
It's mostly the stuff that I can't know that holds me back. Like... I don't know that I'd end up hurting her, but the idea of it being a possibility makes me want to avoid the situation entirely.
I always thought Knives was far more appealing than Ramona.
Then again, in the comic book everyone looked exactly the same (particularly in black-and-white)--I was grateful for the Scott Pilgrim live-action movie so I could finally tell everyone apart. :p
In terms of real-life, though, personally I'd avoid the literary-style romantic drama and just try for someone that would make me happy and make the other person happy as well. I know that removes the potential for teeth-gnashing angst-ridden memories of regret later in life (the type people seem to cherish and relive endlessly) but it makes for better relationships. :p

If you spend your time worrying about what could happen it would probably prevent you from doing anything lol...

I have a tendency to over-think things.
But yeah, I'll just keep making plans with her (or, randomly making last-minute plans like we have so far) and see how stuff goes.
Besides being cute, she's also into stuff like Skyrim, Lord of the Rings, and we have a lot of the same taste in books and movies. Things can't be too bad.
P.S. I don't know what you're talking about. Ramona was way cooler than Knives. (Or maybe it's that I saw her character as more my "type" than Knives.)

That's about all you really can do... just keep keeping on lol...
Probably... We all have our own preconceptions of what we like or want... I've learned to ignore that to a point though... sometimes the things we avoid make us miss out on something that could be exactly what we want... just like when we get everything we think we want could be just the opposite... that's why I think it's a good idea to give most thinks a chance at least... to a point lol...
I have a Jack Daniel's pecan pie from Rock Springs Cafe sitting in my fridge back home...
Suddenly I want some pie.
I'm gonna need to know your address and where you hide the spare key. :3
I will answer your inquiry with the following: in order to achieve pieness, you must answer me this riddle. What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs at night?

I know that one!
How much is the answer worth to you, Narshe?
Is it worth more than the time it would take to google it? lol...
I sometimes think my pups are SO naughty. They both eat poop, Pixel won't stay out of the trash, Dante leaps onto sensitive spots when we're laying down on a regular basis, Pixel ate a mysterious and suspicious mushroom earlier today, Dante eats worms...
But then I look at dog-shaming.com and I realize I have the best two pups in the whole world. <3 <3 <3 Gosh that site cracks me up though, I laugh at them all! :D
if you worry about hurting her it could mean you aren't ready for a serious relationship; does it feel like an excuse you tell yourself or more like having trust issues with yourself/others?
Personally I'd probably be drawn to the girl already dating a guy but that's involuntary moreso I think. I.e. genetics of "the challenge; steal her away and win the competition" or "go for the girl that some guy already has proven she's a catch, better chance of a good mate" etc lol
I don't trust myself, because I'm not 100% sure of what I want. I haven't been for a looong time. But I won't figure out what I want unless I try something, either.
And, sadly, the potential unavailability (I didn't know whether or not she had a boyfriend until today) was part of the initial draw to the other girl. But, I say, "Screw that!" to that. Because 1.) I've had girls do that to me ("Well, I already know you're interested... So I'll see if I can't try for someone harder to get first.") and it just sucks, so I refuse to let myself be like that. And 2.) I've learned from experience that if a girl will leave their guy for you... They'll just as soon leave you for another guy.
Another part is simply age difference. I'm closer in age to the unavailable girl. I see it as meaning she's probably got more life experience.
I can't really say any of it has to do with "type" though... I've dated everything from band geek, to gamer, to artsy, and my son's mom had been a cheerleader.
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.
