How amazing is it that 99% of the people in this thread are jaded beyond belief? It seems as if we've all had our hearts broken or at least trampled upon. And it seems as if we have all had awkward moments in the whole game of love.

Let's just all stay single for the rest of our lives. It's easier.

That's how you win the game.  When you stop caring about it.




hmm i always thought winning the lotto and spending the rest of your life banging 22yr old models was how you won the game?  :crazy2:

the first time you get really burned by a member of the opposite sex it makes you a little bitter...then every time subsequently just adds to the bitterness.

Gillette, if I may add my 2-cents in here?

Firstly, let me say you are NOT talking to someone who knows how to date. I never went out on dates, never had a girlfriend. When I DID get a girlfriend, we got married soon after.

But in my humble opinion, you should become FRIENDS with someone before you decide to "date" them or start a relationship. IMO, you should stop going out on dates and start inviting prospective males to hang out with you and your friends. If a guy asks you for a date (or you are interested in a date with a guy), then take him along with a group of your other friends. Make him a friend before you decide to start a relationship with him.

A lasting relationship is built on compatibility. You need to become friends with someone and build up some sort of trust before you can find out who they really are. What do you learn on a date? You learn a lot about that person's social mask (the face he shows the world), but not about who he is on a truly deeply level, and that is the person you will be having the relationship with, not his mask.

Me and my wife were friends for over seven years before we decided to get together, and we have never had any issues with “on again/off again” or any of the other games people tend to play with each other. We occasionally have fights, but because we are best friends we have no problems making up again in the end.


As far as the rest of the dicussion goes, I think Cherrybom has it right.

“If you love someone and want to be with them, there are NO games. You are truthful and honest about how you feel and why you feel it. You're angry? Be angry! Frustrated? Break something! It's fun! Don't lie to yourself about how you are feeling. And for bloody hell, don't you fucking dare lie to somebody who loves you with their entire soul. They don't deserve that, and you don't deserve that.”

This is what having a soul-mate is all about, anything else is just ego games.

yeah K I usually do the friend thing, which makes me wonder why I'm even doing the gay dating thing, maybe its because I almost feel obligated to do it, who knows.

The thing about my friends tho, is I've either known them all forever, so we're like family....or its you guys, and the distance thing is a real pain in the ass.....

I've been on two dates since December, both of them being in February. Let's not forget that this girl stopped taking phone calls from me sometime after the second date for some mysterious reason.

I'm having quite a hard time.

It's up to the couple involved to define what that sanctity is for them, though.

Same here.

In fact, I don't think I've ever "dated."

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.
