Mine or hers?? You'd be pretty disappointed getting into my bank book. And i don't know if you're "tall" enough to get on that ride. ;)

Just out of a curiosity, how "tall" does one have to be to get on said ride?

I'm sitting in business class and my teacher said something about shrubbery. All I could think was:

Awww, well we can always be friends. haha :)

I think I'd prefer to tell the story more like, "Really, sweetheart, it's not you...it's me." :wink:

Yeah. At least that's what I'll convince myself was the reason for this bitter heartbreak. :idea:

I think I may have to just leave Irish Envy altogether now...
I'm haunted by the memories of what might have been and the pain is just too much...

I'm off to go and do some genuine soul searching. If y'all need me I'll be at the strip club.

The strip club is LAME! Seriously. I don't know why women get so pissy about it.

Ok guys, I need advice. I am seriously at a loss here. I met a guy. Very nice, very funny, good looking, ND fan, divorced, has kids, we have almost everything in common. Seriously. We are even both left handed. We hung out had a great time, and then hung out again. The 2nd time we hung out his ex gf showed up. He said they were broke up and she's just psycho. Well I don't talk to him much, maybe some on facebook, maybe a text here and there, but we went from talking and texting all day everyday, to maybe one or two texts every other day, phone call maybe once a week. I chalked it up to he's a player, and not into me.

Everytime I post a status on FB now, he texts me because he either thinks it's about him, or he's fishing to see if it's about him. Today I said that "my boo" had talked me into going to the USC game and 30 seconds later he texted me and asked me if I had a bf, and said congrats. I told him I was talking about the chick from work. So what is the deal? Why do guys play these ridiculous games? He passed on something good, so it's dead in the water, but seriously, why do guys pretend to be interested, aren't interested then pretend to be interested? I hate men. ;)

Well I ALREADY KNEW THAT! Thank you for your imparted wisdom Beau Benken. :)

Well if you want a guy who isn't a player, it's probably the guy who really likes you that you have no interest in...so is the game of love.

Stage 1 clinger. Run... fast...


Seriously though, i've learned that the best relationships are the ones where you don't have to try. If you have to "play games" or worry about how you say something, it's never going to be that great connection. You seem like the type of chick that wants to be with a dude that has his own passions, his own life. The whole "two as one" philosophy is bogus. If a dude cant be real with you, then just forget him. Life is too short to be around people that cant get out of their own way.

Just my .02

This romantic banter between you two has a Hallmark movie written all over it!

Woolybug...I agree. That's why I let go. It was hard to do, way back when I would've just let him play me until I had nothing left...thus the benefit of growing up. So I'm not really sure what the dude's issue is. You don't want me, but I can't be with anyone else?

And Beau...You're probably right, though I have tons of guy friends, and I don't ignore any of them. So I'm perplexed.

Irishhog77...romantic banter? I am practically old enough to be his mother!

We Love "Shopping Around" , it is nothing personal with you I am sure, but when we do give up the "Strange" we have to pretend to be interested in things full time, instead of just every now and then :)
