Romance

Lovey-dovey status updates should be used sparingly and targeted primarily as romantic displays towards each other rather than bragging about your relationship. They *can* be wrongfully used and abused, but not always.

That topic really depends for me. I don't mind people who just give each other quick kisses and hugs but when couples look like they are about to go at it is when I get annoyed. Lovey dovey displays in moderation can appear cute but if you do it all the time it can get just plain annoying.

I do hate Valentines Day though and just so you know before you judge the reason why I hate it isn't because I have no girlfriend to spend it with.

I kind of think its sweet when couples are acting very affectionate. There are some specific displays of affection that make me uncomfortable, but not many.

PDA bugs me when it gets all make-outy. It shouldn't go any further than a peck on the lips, it's kinda weird doing anything more than that when people are around.

Spoke to her today, for the first time in weeks (shit's been really getting in my way, as my post about yesterday indicated). Couldn't quite make the ask because she had a midterm in 15 minutes, one i couldn't really help her on (had the class in question before, but under a different professor), so had no real reason to talk further and it definitely would have been selfish of me to put any kind of mental burden on her, even through a casual ask-out, as that test is a bear if it's at all similar to what the other professor was running.

Which means i was completely wrong about her 4th class, too (and yes, i learned it by talking to her, no more stalkerish behavior).

Edit: have to ask, though, is it socially acceptable to broach further conversation via email? I feel like i need to establish some bond with her first so it doesn't seem weird (which is why i haven't yet), but a broader communication channel would fix the snail's pace that this has been progressing at, because i don't get a lot of time with her week to week and that's what drives me up a wall (and to post weird junk here).

Or i should just suck it up and go whole-hog next Wednesday (if class isn't fricking canceled again)

I think a bit of patience can't harm.

So I feel like I'm starting to get crush-y with one of my friends/coworkers. WTF shall i do.

How well do you know them? Are they currently involved with anyone else?

Well, guy #1 and I had lunch and part of dinner together today, along with a couple of other people(cafeteria situation). He didn't say anything that definitively meant one way or another, but we did have a nice, light conversation about Disneyland and other attractions in California.

I still have no idea if I'm grasping at straws here and it's a lost cause, or if everything is fine and I'm just over-analyzing.

It took me a couple years to feel comfortable enough for really any pda's with the fiance but now we hold hands a lot and he likes to rest his head on my shoulders from time to time.

I was always afraid of getting anti-gay feedback or something, but no one has even given us a cold stare that I have noticed.

Personally, I have absolutely no problem with PDA; neither between others, nor between my partner and me. That said, there are limits - a modicum of gracefulness is of the order .

I keep seeing cute girls around, but i'm too much of a freak to actually talk to them.

Plus I have no friends here, don't have a "lesbian who's okay with dating t-girls" radar, and no courage

I tell you, you should just walk up to a girl and drop your pants.

Yeah sure, that'll work when they see I have a penis.

Well, then you explain it to them and they'll be forced to go out with you.

Is that how you get your dates, Rossy?

Yes.

Disclaimer: I do not take any responsibility for anyone who actually attempts this stuff.

This is all a joke and I haven't been on any dates.

Yeah, that was kind of obvious. No offense.

But seriously, dating is hard.

I felt like I needed to post that.

And I agree.

Then again, I'm not exactly spending a lot of time looking for a girlfriend.

And that's the just the tip of the iceberg.

i wish i wasn't such a bitter person.

i have all this resentment inside of me, and i don't think it's ever going to go away.

Maybe that's because you're Nazi Germany's field army?

+1 for the decent joke.

Only a couple more days until me and my girlfriend's 6 month anniversary; I got her a pretty big present, I can't wait to see what she thinks of it.
