So after consolodating my courage after a few days i finally decided to ask Laura from work out, well i dont work there anymore but i frequently buy from them.


well i havent been there for at least 2 and bit months


so i finally asked her and she said she had a boyfriend already! big big let down, cause we were very friendly together.

The moral is, don't leave such matters to the last minute

now if you'll excuse me im off to drown my sorrows

Look guys. Even if you have a strike rate of only 10 percent. Ask ten people out and you'll at least get one. :cool:
And one is all most people need.:)

I don't bother asking people out, the way i see it, i already have a boss. I don't need another one. Yeah, I like to have a few drinks... then some fun;) and then more drinks, then its home again. I suppose, I'm not getting married or having children. So yeah.. Sorry to hear about it roller. The worst felling is.. I don't want a boyfriend. I just want to be friends. And then she goes and sleeps with one of your mates...:( Then you have to kick some arse and you really don't want to do that.... but yeah. It happens. Take _My_ word for it.

You should be like me and reject any notion of wanting a relationship with anyone.

Personally, aside from the physical human tendencies, I have never met a girl that I could stand for more than 30 minutes without getting completly bored of or fed up with. Plus I have never felt the 'need' to form a lasting 'relationship' with any one so I believe myself to be better off in that regard. However its also possible that I am just too self aware of the difference between love and lust and have never considered a relationship because I have never had anyone trigger the former emotional state.

Just keep an eye open on the streets then, you might find her being scalped on the corner outside the pub.

You could then buy some whoo-hoo time. It'll be cheaper, and you'll find she'll have some sort of disfigurement that you'll be thankful you don't have to live with.

roller, don't let it get to you. She obviously wasn't worth it.

Mate, I can tell you a zillion stories about girls. There are so many completely screwed up ones out there. You won't believe just how many "Female Dogs" I've encountered when I was at Uni. :mad:

Mate, there will come a day when you will know that she is the one. She may already be a part of your life (but you've never thought about her in that way) or maybe you haven't met her yet. But She is out there & when that "allspark" buzzes, you'll know. :)

At my old job, I got to know Steph pretty well. Hell, it took me one fricken year to dig up the ballz to even ask her for her name. Now, who's the sap?

Oh & I'm sure you've experienced the games they play. You know what games I'm talking about. Hell, there's this girl who's currently trying to play those same games with me at the moment through Myspace (& she lives in New York for christsakes :rolleyes:). Being that she's 21, she's still obviously in that "Playing Head-Games phase" & she must believe that I'm still naive enough to fall for them. Good luck with those Head-Games S, you won't see me falling into your web. :)

Psychological issue, possibly, that is always a factor :)

Always better to be in a relationship than without one, I disagrees. I prefer to be alone than with someone's who's company I don't enjoy. I don't like having friends for the sake of saying I have friends. The same applies with girlfriends.

Past 'relationships' have so utterly bored me in the past that I begun to take a 'Oh crap, I don't feel like hanging around this chick' attitude before going out, it was the same feeling as not wanting to go to school or work in the morning because I would rather do something else.

To put it simply, I don't get along with the typical 'female' personality.

kup, pay no attention to the boneheads trying to make fun of how you live. There's a point when we grow out of the "Animal House" roommates phase & we get sick of the emotional rollercoasters that some girls like to throw us on.

Yep, I just ran with it. :)

But I'm not totally ragging on him, I too prefer to live alone, or at most with one person.

One day someone may come along, but I've never really been bothered to hunt anyone down, as I feel, and always have, that I just don't "need" to be in a relationship. I prefer to just let the ride of life bring itself to me and I'll deal with it as it happens. :) I've gotten over my "women suck" phase a long time ago when I realised they won't change, why waste the energy hating?, and just accepted that yes, they can suck. :D

Teasing aside, I am personally not waiting for anyone. Being alone is the best way to go for me. I have tried to experience relationships in the past but not due to needing it but more due to trying it. Never worked out because I just didn't care and prefered to do other things with my free time.

I just don't care about forming a relationship with anyone, I never really had. Unlike most people I have NEVER had a need for companionship, even when I was a kid. That doesn't mean that I will automactically reject an opportunity but it does mean that I don't actively seek it because it is something that is Not essential for me in life. As a kid in school I went to several different schools, in most I found good people to hang out with and I did, some other schools (the god awful Sutherland shire) I only found aholes so I preferred to be alone, I wasn't like some kids who needed to join a group just for the sake of companionship. Thankfully in those bad schools I was generally left alone because I made it clear than anyone who annoyed me would get one 'right in the kisser' but that's it.

I didn't think we'd ever be discussing this subject on this board (I can't find the right face to put here).

Personally, I luv girls :). Besides all the "female dogs" I met at Uni, I met some really cool girls as well. All of them started as (& still currently are) being really good friends while some of the others grew into more than that :p (But that's an area I'd rather not go into). Of those that grew into more than friends, I really regret "putting my foot in it" on two occasions. Oh, I wish I hadn't screwed it up with both Lisa & Christina :(.

But life moves on & whatever girl I'm supposed to be with, I'm sure It'll hit me at that moment. But I haven't actively got that thought in the back of my mind. Hell, At the moment I'm in a "very weird" relationship (to say the least) with a girl from Myspace. S (that's the only name you're getting from me) & I used to be "Myspace friends" but since then I've figured out what she's been doing. Honestly, my Page/Blog can't be that interesting but it's sure getting alot of views - which has led me to put 2 & 2 together & work out that she set up another account (with a fake profile), I agreed to become friends with that other account & she's using that as her medium to check on what I'm doing...

Girls think they're smarter than you (in regards to the tactics/train of thought they employ) but with a little bit of deductive thinking of your own, you can figure them out. :)

So, I guess girls seem to be a never-ending puzzle that can be a lot of fun to figure out (from my perspective anyway). :)

It's a good place to hook up with old friends or ex-lovers. I have found so many people I loved and thought I would probably never see again. Personally it's been an excellent experience and I owe the creators of Facebook a big thank you.
The quizzes and other applications are a bit of harmless fun and help get through the work day.

The things that seems to attract you guys to it its boredom inducing for me, I am just to odd and weird :). I don't care for writing stories for others to read, keep a logbook of my life open to the public nor finding online friends that I don't really know in RL to hang out with.

That seems to make sense on how Facebook totally failed for me, it doesn't fit with who I am since I am not very social to begin with.

To pass the time at work I just post here or other forums discussing TFs or other things or just read news articles and stuff.

I suppose I could have used the technical term of "social engineering" when one is keen to get as much info about someone as they can before they do an identity theft. IMO, these sites encourage people to let their guard down too much. Advertisers also love to troll through these things too.

I tried loging in to have a look again, just for the sake of trying. I tried searching for school friends but non were there, the search options suck. I looked at the Ozformers facebook page but this forum is a much better way to interact so the page became pointless.

If the main draw of facebook is to read about other people's lives and for you to write about your own life then its preety much useless for me.

The main reason that I went back was to see if there was anything else to do with Facebook (I heard people mention that there is in plenty of occasions) but I didn't find any other activity than the above so I disconnected. I have had that account for well of over a year and I think that I have only logged in 2-3 times for a period of 5-10mins at the most, just to try to figure out why it has so much appeal and get so much press coverage but from my perspective it fails every time to grab me.

I'm not a fan either. It's partly a function of time for me since there's so many things I'm involved in but it's primarily b/c I'm not too happy about throwing my life out there. You never know how it could come back to bite one day. And I'm the type of idiot who types a lot of dumb stuff when I'm told there are no limits.

WTF is goin on, what with the title?!?:confused::confused:Oh well just a side comment since the thread seems to be a continous chatroom than a thread hehehehe:D:D

Thought I might share what's been happening to me lately regarding a 2nd girl who lives about 30 minutes away from me who incidently found me through Myspace.

About a month ago, she found me & immediately began with the PM's (wanting to know absolutely everything about me). Now to me, she's just a Myspace "Friend". But these constant questions just don't seem to be stopping. She wants to know absolutely everything about me. What I look like? What I do with myself? Do I have a G/F, Wife, Kids? What did I do with my day? Honestly, it's just so bloody annoying. Why should I tell her all this stuff?

I believe I've figured out just why she wants to know all this stuff about me - She must like me. But the thing is, I don't like her in that way at all. The thing is... I haven't got it in me to tell her that she's being so bloody intrusive on my personal life. Due to the fact that she lives so close, I have a feeling that eventually she's gonna want to meet up in the real world. Honestly, I have no desire to meet her at all. All she knows about me is what I've got in my profile combined with brief bits & pieces that I reveal in answering her PM's.

How do I get out of this weird Myspace Relationship? Even though I've got no actual pics of me on my profile, Why would she be that into me? I'm not interested in her even one iota. I don't know where this thing with her is gonna go but I'm afraid that she's getting mixed signals.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing before?

Bloody Hell, there are some people here who are (at the moment) sick of girls while I'm basically beating one of them off with a stick. :D

If you never met her how can she be so infatuated with you? I don't understand.

Anyway the best thing to do would be lay her off gently. Just politely tell her that you don't have the time to constantly be answering her messages. If she continues do so again and then ignore any of the following messages.

Eventually she will get bored of the lack of attention and move on.

You would be surprised. Out hunting one Saturday, and came across a Ultimate Bumble Bee... (still meny there if any one wants one) I told a mate how crappy they were supposed to be, just the mention of the name Bumble Bee brings all kinds of crazy girls around.... This was one instance where i was looking for a movie 08 deluxe Bumbles, asking some guy who worked in the target if he had seen any floating around... he told me all there was was the Ultimate.. Then some i dunno like 16 year old says I have all the BB toys... i said.... oh yes. have you got a barricade as well, i'm actually looking for him atm.. What she said next was the final straw. "is that the cop car one? no i only like bumble bee. i asked if she even knew who the others were, she said yes. theres the truck one.. prime something...

If she is that infatuated with you, she will talk about anything with you even if she has no interest in it. I have seen it before, they 'adapt' to your likes and dislikes but do not personally share them they just pretend. These sort of relationships usually end up the worse so its best just not to engage her in any sort of conversation at all. Just provide a brief but definite response that you are not interested and that's it.

The sales guy at work is like that. Barely even human. Just tries to find common ground with anyone he talks to and if you mention anything at all he will have a story about it.

I just treat him with absolute utter contempt and he keeps crying to the big boss about it. If he had more testicular fortitude to actually confront me on why I harbour such negativity about him I might actually show more respect.

During my 6-odd years of casual Primary School Teaching (I've quit primary teaching now - Those kids are freakin nuts!), I found myself at a local school one day & at the end of lunch assembly where all the classes meet in the quad, A Year Six girl walked right up to me, asked me for my first name & wanted to swap mobile numbers with me!!! :eek:

My exact words to her were "Grow Up" & only then did she get the message. I've tackled all kinds of terror children over the years as a primary school teacher (that's why I'm now an ESL Teacher) but that episode was the most disturbing thing EVER. That's why I can still remember it as clearly today as I did the day after it happened.
