The Complaining About Life Thread

That Ice T **** is so invalid now. He plays a detective for crying out loud. He's got to like them on some level now.

Well, in his defense, it was mostly "**** the racist, corrupt, greedy cops".

But yeah. Ice T is kind of a joke, a politically conservative TV actor in about the most banal and least thought-provoking show on television. Just like most entertainers, rappers don't age gracefully.

Body Count was still the ****, though.

Actually, "**** tha Police" was N.W.A., as in Ice Cube.

Who as we know is still totally hardcore.

Ice T didn't want to **** cops, he just wanted to kill them.

Cop Killer!

I was willing to run with it, because **** THE POLICE! is basically the chorus on that song.

I mean, the tail end of the song is just Ice T yelling "**** the police!" for like, two minutes.

Okay, well since my last series of posts, things with everyday girls have continued, business as usual. I met a few girls and they have boyfriends. This isn't about them. This is about a very not-everyday girl. The only girl I've ever actually been in love with, who was involved all through high school, who went off to university in another city, who had a bad breakup a couple months ago, who quickly came to me to talk about this breakup, who's moving back to Toronto, who's living with the girlfriend of the guy I'm living with next year(we're all good friends). It all adds up to me suddenly seeming to have a better chance with her than I would've realistically imagined.

Day after Halloween, I had lunch with her and told her how I feel(not that I'm in love with her, just that I really like her and had for a long time). She basically said that with all the stuff going on right now, the still-raw-ish breakup, the transferring out of the university she was miserable at, the moving to Toronto and finding an apartment for the first time, etc, her life was really complicated right now and she didn't want to jump into this too right now. I told her I was cool with that I and just wanted her to know how I felt while I had the chance.

She said she was glad I told her, and that she always thought I felt that way. Since then, we've talked almost every day, and it's usually her calling me or starting a convo on MSN etc.

Basically, I think she's telling the truth about life just being too complicated right now. I think she could like me. I know that at the least she really likes me as a person and thinks I'm hilarious. She's always made a point of staying in touch with me and asking to hang out, even while she apparently knew I liked her.

In six weeks she moves in, her life will be greatly simplified and she'll supposedly have had more time to move on. I intend to see if I can press the issue. Until then, this is torture, day-in day-out. If she comes back with a boy or just doesn't like me that way after all, I can tell I'm gonna take it hard and it's gonna get much worse. Uncharted territory worse. And I am afraid.
 
My suggestion is the opposite of Houde... Keep up the conversations, make sure she's comfortable with getting close to you again... I bet she's keeping you at arm's length because she hasn't lived around you in a while and she doesn't want to just jump into some relationship right away.

Once she's around all the time, then you can ask her out officially... But until then, just subtly show her how good a boyfriend you would be, and that you're excited to have her back in town. Don't let it be torture, think of it as a six-week long conversation convincing her to date you. Can't slip into worry-mode, stay on top of your game.

I agree with this.
 
I have no advice for you on how to talk to pretty girls since there are no pretty girls in Canada. :p



Honestly, you need to stop putting the ***** on a pedestal.

Houde is right. Ask her out again. Waiting around and planting hints and subtly convincing her to be your gf is the kinda bull**** that only happens in coming of age teenage romcoms. Plus it takes the pressure off of you to go for the relationship and puts it all back on her.

You've shown yourself to be a good friend....you've told her how you feel....it's on her now. And if you just sit around waiting for her to come to her senses, you could possibly miss out on a great relationship with someone else.

An even better idea is for you to go on some dates of your own. That shows her that you're not some love-lorne sappy puppydog that is just sitting around waiting for her to validate your feelings. Instead it shows her that you're a great guy whom other women want....which for some strange reason---drives women insane with jealousy. Other guys can tell you...they can be single for 6 months without barely any chance at getting a gf. But as soon as they get a gf...all of a sudden, women flock to them and show interest. Go figure.

The best part of being an adult and dating is that this isn't high school anymore! You don't just meet a girl at her locker everyday before lunch for 2 weeks and now she's your gf. Nope. You can go out and date several people at once and until you've sat down and talked about becoming exclusive with someone...you're still fairgame. Same as she is. She can date you....and 4 other guys....and until she says she wants to date only you---she's not in the wrong.




I say this with no malice:

Be a man....grow a pair....ask her out again....and if she says "no" or "she's not ready" ---- you go and ask someone else out.

You people ruined it last time.

The thing is PM really needs to stop believing in Romcoms. They never actually happen.

Unless you have a gay friend, and she has a friend who has sworn off guys for awhile, and you left a note in a copy of Catcher in the Rye, and she finds it ten years later while in New York City, and you find an old glove that was hers, and you end up sitting in an ice rink on the morning before your marriage, realizing you don't want to get married.......yeah, so unless all those conditions are met, real life is not a movie.

On one hand it's kinda gay that I knew immediately which movie he's talking about.

On the other hand....it's not that gay because it's a John Cusack movie and he's awesome.




And on the other hand....my advice is still totally on point.
