You're never going to be ready to do it, that's why you do it now and save yourself the grief.

RIP Lucky. I love you so much.

My recommendation would be just to go scope the scenes you like, like the mall or a bookstore or some area that is relatively crowded but still safe for you (I don't know what it's like where you live so just use your best judgement), and just start conversations with guys you think are cute.

You don't have to date them, this would just be to build confidence. Doesn't hurt to be social either, right?

That's only if she's looking for a replacement, this seems to be more just about getting rid of feelings for someone.

I've no experience with it, but Stuff's advice seems pretty solid. Just gotta know that's what you want to do, and accomplish.

I just thought that if she looked deeper into the dating pool, she might find a guy who's interesting and still nothing like this guy who's hurting her. I mean, she's an attractive lady, given a little time she might find one who likes her for who she is and won't break her heart.

Just saying.

Best to just block it out and walk on without looking, same advice as Stuff and some others here.
Ignore everything, and once you have a clear head, you're free to do what you want so long as you think you're able to.

A little warning though, try to avoid a social shutdown, it tends to happen in situations like these.

Life's a bitch like that, more often then not.


Someone once said "All is fair in love and war" but that's just a nice way of saying nothing is fair in love and war. I believe this to be another of the world's unfortunate truths since both, my many observations and my few experiences, have proven this time and time again.

You'd think by now that humans would be used to love and war's unfairness. We may be used to seeing it but we never get used to experiencing it. Strange how insignificant it seems until you experience it first hand.

Yep.

Nothing is fair in love and war is impossible since one can in fact be fair in them.

Exactly.

I think he somehow misread what EagleMan said (or assumed that his post was riddled with typos). It's likely that he might have read what he said as:

"Nothing is fair in love and war. It's impossible since one can't in fact be fair in them."

Or some variation of that.

I know full well life isn't fair. such a shame though that it never seems to be unfair in my favor.

The reason for the phrase "everything is fair in love and war" goes back to when nothing was illegal(it was fair) in how war was conducted and the equivalent in love is that you can pretty much damage each other as much as you can or want(especially emotionally).

Origins of phraseology by whatis!


My parents are going to be out of town for a solid 5 days in 9 days.


And I can't help but feel like this is a grand opportunity... but for what?

to walk around naked and eat junk food in front of the tv.

Though I imagine they'd prefer me to watch tv in my room if I was naked.

It's far to cold to be hanging out naked.

I almost always have my coat on now.

I have a really high metabolism.


I'd have to eat and exercise like a maniac to gain any weight. And even if I do it's ridiculously hard to keep it.
