hey cass, is hair important to girls?

[il bacio dolce]

If I check my email I'm just going to be disappointed. I think I'll wait until Monday or someone tells me they sent me an email, whichever comes first. I'm not expecting a response, he hasn't responded in some time... I just passed on some information I stumbled across on a topic I know he had been studying, at least back when we still talked. But no need to respond. Why would he? Maybe I still have a habit of sharing things with this person, maybe I think we are like-minded, but maybe that's all in my head. Maybe I want him to think that, too. I guess I was aiming for a response, but I don't want to feel crushed when I never get one.

[il bacio dolce]

hey cass, is hair important to girls?
Do you mean is their own hair important to them? Yes. Is guys' hair important? That depends on how much emphasis she places on looks. I seem to always go for guys with dorky haircuts, and I think it's cute. My sister makes fun of them. Then again, her boyfriend has long stringy black hair that's sometimes in dreadlocks - ick. So it depends on the girl. If I'm looking in the mirror, I might pay close attention to one particular feature, such as my hair. We tend to be picky about every little thing about ourselves. When it comes to guys, I think, you look at the total package. At least I do.

i was curious about if they cared about guys. I know that most girls go crazy over their hare.

I'm just curious cause it's a new year, I want to do something with my hair, but I have no idea what to do!

[il bacio dolce]

Whatever you do with it, if it is different, girls will notice and probably mention it to you. :)

Haha. You said girls go crazy over their HARE. :lol Bunnies!!!

Anyway, I'm glad Ants isn't crapping out like last night and not letting me post, because this is the fourth post I've made in 20 minutes. My messages are on the serious, thoughtful side today it seems.

[gbs3769]

Go with something similar to what Brad Pitt had in Ocean's Eleven.

Dude, so do I. I want to have a gay hairdresser that listens to all my man troubles and relates. :lol

[il bacio dolce]

He probably stalks me here with my luck. He sees the posts I make and can tell they're about me. :lol I'm so paranoid.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here? Why am I soooo distracted by this guy who has cut off contact with me? He is with someone, and better yet, I am with someone, but HE is still on my mind CONSTANTLY! I can't stop thinking about this. fucking. loser. He's not worth it!! :BANG

[fanciful]

As a woman I notice a man's hair. Keep it kept, some sort of product is helpful and bald isn't a bad thing if you wear it well. Those with mullets need not apply!!

:D

Yeah, I feel your pain. I was distracted by one of my exes for a long time after we were both happy somewhere else. Trying to figure out why that relationship failed so that I didn't repeat the same mistakes. In the end I probably spent too much time thinking about it, and I ended up making new mistakes that I did learn from I hope!

It's not about making the mistakes I did with him because I have a hard time convincing myself I ruined what we could have had together. I think it's just about how the last time we spoke he told me three things:

1. In the beginning of it all, he admits, he was equally as crazy about me. I can't let go of the fact that at one time he wanted me, and I was worth his time and attention, and I got a lot of it! For a few weeks we talked on the phone several times a day. We'd send text messages back and forth during days calling was inconvenient, and we'd talk for hours at night on IM. I can't stop thinking that at one time I was something to him and now I'm nothing. I was worth taking a break from work or whatever he was doing, and everything I said would always made him laugh.... I miss him making fun of the English accent he thinks I have :lol (I don't), and telling me he I always find the best way to say things. I just miss all that so much now.

2. He says he started to try to back out of the whole situation when he realized that I was still taking the possibility of us getting together very seriously and we'd been over and over the fact that it would never happen. I had many times agreed and apologized, but always went back. He wanted to make both our lives much less complicated by putting a stop to it. He knew it was best for both of us, but I don't want to believe I'm not worth it.

3. I told him I thought he and I could have been good friends if we had not gotten to thinking about more right off the bat, and he agreed. We were with other people when we met and we were still really caught up in eachother. We know we get along so well and think so much alike that we'd be good friends if we weren't attracted to eachother immediately, but we can't pretend we aren't!

Now I know I don't want any sort of relationship or fling with him because I would never give up what I have, I know it isn't worth it. I guess I miss his attention and wanting something I can't have. Sometimes I feel like I would do anything just to get him to acknowledge my existence. And I don't know why I do it. I haven't gone a day without thinking of him since the night we met and I know that feeling isn't mutual.

[fanciful]

Thank you all for the welcome. I thought I start small- I didn't want to hurt myself. So far, I'm just caught up in reading!! :shrug

[fanciful]

I started on the first page of this thread and was about in tears reading Rebubula07's tips on dating!! I'm new to the dating market after years of imprisionment, err, I mean marriage.

[il bacio dolce]

Hey, I'd wish you luck, but to me that sounds like an insult! You shouldn't need luck to find love. Just a sense of certainty that you deserve to find it. :)

[rfsved]

the best thing you can do when you are new to ants is catch up on reading... it'll take you far.

[il bacio dolce]

I'm going to need a good drink at the "event" when I run in to him. :lol

[rfsved]

ohh yeah, and listen to Cassie... she's pretty smart!

[rfsved]

what "event"? A drink however sounds really good. maybe when I get back from my meeting... speaking of, I'm gonna be late if I don't leave now.

[fanciful]

Well, I wasn't looking for pointers!! The post was funny, it was like reading a page out of 'Dating for Dummies'. Please, who actaully pulls that stuff???

[smeritt]

If you read all 460 pages more power to ya. For now welcome. Im prolly the youngest in this thread but obviously the cutest. Hope you have fun while here

[whiteysax]

So I came across a "Good news/bad news" email today from the girl I've been chatting with lately. I mentioned possibly getting together to meet and go out sometime and she was quite interested. I told her I wanted to do something she enjoyed and made some general suggestions. She emailed me back telling me she enjoys dancing, walking by the river when it isn't too cold, going downtown for drinks, and shopping.
So the good news: she wants to go out with me.
The bad news: I'm not a fan of clubbing, drinking, or shopping - especially for a first date.
I'm not opposed to any of these... but I was thinking more something where we'd be able to talk and get to know each other. So I suggested dinner at a local brewery... there's live music later that nite so if we hit it off and I'm in the mood, we can still maybe dance. Thoughts?

Definitely try to do something along the lines of what you said, where you can talk to eachother. What is the point of a date if you can't even hear eachother or be able to get to know eachother? See what she has to say, and make some kind of compromise. Maybe dinner then going for a walk?

plug in some movies and find some junk food. Here's my day so far...
Wake up >

lunch
Unfaithful (hockey game outro)
Beyond The Sea

Leafs game tonite... perhaps I'll plug in Ray or Anchorman later as well.
Oh yeah... a question for you guys. I want to pick up some Dave DVDs.. the only one they had at Circuit city was Listener Supported. Is it worth the $20 or am I better off with just the CD? Any top recommendations on the DVD realm of DMB consumerism?

I like Central Park... It's really good

Listener Supported is good. I've got all the DVDs but the music video DVD, and my favorite is definitely Central Park. Even though it's not a full concert, I think my second favorite is the Gorge cause of Halloween and Pig followed by Listener Supported, Red Rocks, and Folsom. Truthfully, you couldn't go wrong with any of them imho.

[whiteysax]

Thanks for all the opinions guys... I think I'll pick me up a CP DVD!

Okay, so after going through most of this thread, bits and pieces of posts have perfectly related to my present situation.

My girlfriend, out of nowhere, told me last monday that she needed time to think, that our relationship was not advancing, that we were often having disputes ( the reason for this is always that I find here doing some form of flirting with one of the hundreds of guys running after her, and I jut try to calmly explain that it hurts me).

Since last monday, I've been going crazy but haven't tried to contact her. She called me and wrote me some e-mails saying she really misses me, but she still needs time to breed, think and straightain stuff out. I have no clue what these things are, and I don't think she met someone. I explained to her that we have such a bright future, that I could make her happy.

Anywayz, she said she would call me today so we can meet tomorrow night, probably with her decision. I have the feeling she's gonna say that it's over, and it kills me. I don't know if you guys would have any advice towards how I should be when I see her. Pretend I'm all good so she can see I'm secure and be funny to seduce her again? Show her my true feelings and that I'm crazy for her and begg her to give us a chance?
This will probably be my last chance, if only she could see what's on my mind...

Thanks

[smeritt]

Just be yourself. Dont be fake because thats prolly not who she fell for. Be the guy that she was so crazy about for so long and then she'll see that it'd be a mistake to end it .And don't beg and seem desperate, not good. But thats just my opinion

[rfsved]

maye it's good that you let her breed somewhere else. It'll probably save you money down the road! :lol :lol

but in all seriousness, I agree with everything smeritt already said. She liked you when you were yourself before, so continuing to be yourself would be a good thing. She probably flirted with you when things started, so if you expect that to stop, you'll be trying to change her, and you shouldn't try to change a woman. Am I right? When she wants to slow down her flirting, she will. if she's the girl you think she is, she'll stick it out with you, and if not, as much as it may hurt now, it'd be better to know than to have a house, three kids, and a mortgage and THEN realize it's not working out.

[il bacio dolce]

You'd see it if you read my Diaryland, but since you don't want to sift through the other junk :lol I was thinking about why I can't let go of this person I've been thinking about, even though he has cut off contact. The whole thing was wrong, I should be glad it's over, there was too much drama and I should feel better now that it's gone, only it's not gone. I keep it going in my head. It's not him I need to get over, he took care of that part for me. It's the space I've left open for him that makes me feel so empty, not the fact that he'll never fill it.

Does anyone relate to that at all?

[DMBfan41]

i felt like that sometimes, you feel empty because you wanted that spot to be filled by him, and now that it's not filled by him or anyone else for that matter, you feel empty. You need someone to get into that spot.

[il bacio dolce]

I just wrote something that sounded way too corny to post. :lol

I'm concentrating so much on something painful that I can't pay attention to the love and the good things in my life at the same time. I also think I am letting my inability to obtain this thing lead me to believe I am incompetent in general. It saps my self-confidence, I fail at everything I try when I let myself get that way, and then I feel worse.

I don't think it was EVER him that makes me feel bad, it's ME.

[DMBfan41]

you are great, and we love you :)

[il bacio dolce]

Who? Me? :o
:lol Aw. Thank you.

Yeh it is a chat thread and I feel as though I really need it right now. Alas, I have looked at the clock, noticed it was 4 o'clock and have decided to quell my feelings for her, for now, no matter how strong, I can't love her the way she deserves to be loved if I'm unemployed. So hence I am back to work and will post about her tomorrow.....:o :rolleyes

Hey y'all, I've been lurking for a little while now, but finally going to post and start getting involved here. Mainly been waiting to post because things seem have been developing with a good friend of mine for the last month or so (:)), but it is to soon to say if the spark will turn into more. I know that makes little sense right now, but everything should be settled soon and I will hopefully have an awesome story to tell!

Until then, I will just enjoy chatting with all of y'all fine people!

[Jessica41]

Hey everyone.. hope you're all doing well.
Justin and I have decided to move in together this weekend... we were both looking to get out of our complex which sucks, and we figured since we spend everyday all day together anyway, we may as well look for a place together. We looked for a little while and found an adorable little house to rent just about 5 min from where we are now and even closer to the school. I'm quite ecstatic.

Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiance. He was thirty-five years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit for his long, reputed soul mate; a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, it is a tapestry of events that culminate into an exquisite, sublime plan. Ask about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. Things were clearer for him, Kansky noted. Ultimately, Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe we must all possess a powerful faith, of what the ancients used to call fatum; what we currently refer to as destiny.

Because you are my crush that I can't keep out of my head. Just kidding. :D

It wasn't too long ago actually, but in a different thread. You had mentioned that you kissed some guy or wanted to kiss some guy at a party, but he was a co-worker of your boyfriend's at the time. Something like that. I just remember you saying he had a mole, so when you posted the thing about the picture, that was what I thought of.

[il bacio dolce]

Noooo. You got the facts alllll wrong! :lol

Okay. Never kissed HIM, did kiss some guy I didn't know at a party however, and my crush, NOT the guy I kissed at the party, is my boyfriend's coworker! :lol And I didn't say he had a mole. He supposedly has lots of big hairy moles, but I've never seen them. :rolleyes

So I have been dating the girl for almost 5 years, and out of no where she starts telling me how unhappy she is in our relationship. Mostly because she feels as though I am selfish, and she is always there for me but I am not there for her. I think she is just scared because she wants to spend the rest of her life with me, but still I need to fix this.

I could get her flowers or something like that, which she is probably expecting me to do, but I really want to do something else to show her how much I love her. Any suggestions??

Yeah, you could find out who the other guy is.

Note: Not trying to be funny and not trying to be an asshole. But, if nothing is wrong, this is truly coming out of nowhere and there have been no major changes in the relationship, then how are you suddenly selfish? I sincerely hope I am wrong about this, but I have witnessed similar situations first hand a few times with very close friends and family members.

Primo already corrected me once today on a different thread, so hopefully his suggestion works out with a long weekend and it turns out I am wrong again. Good luck. :thumbsup

I'm kinda glad you do, because I seriously debated whether to even share the opinion due to the nature of what I was saying. But, when it happened to my sister (with her husband at the time and she was pregnant), it blindsided everyone in my family. Again, I sincerely hope I am dead wrong!

[smeritt]

Sorry Sean, I was busy last night and didn't even turn my computer on after work.

My new apartment is finally completely clean.

- PrimoNo worries just when ever you get a chance. Your expert opinion is needed.

You got it buddy. I might be around later this evening. But if not, I'll probably just be playing some DragonQuest VIII on Sunday afternoon.

[DMBfan41]

wow, when was the last time there were no posts in a day?

[whiteysax]

Ok... to indulge the HRs with some HR update:
I had a very good nite last nite! Met up with a friend before the Hershey Bears hockey game for dinner at the sports bar in town. She had a friend up from VA for the game. I've been slightly interested in this girl that I've already met, but I met her friend and was very interested. Problem being that she lives in VA and I only spent 3 hrs with them. So I don't see anything happening, although through the wonder of Myspace, we will keep in touch. Made for a very good start to the afternoon.
I had a date scheduled for that nite at a brewery in Harrisburg with this girl that a co-worker of mine hooked me up with. I hadn't met her yet, only chatted through email. So we went out... had a good time. Very charismatic girl... but not quite my type. So all in all, it was a much more eventful night than usual.
Now I find myself trying to weasle out of work for 3 hrs to go to the hockey game again tonite to meet up with this girl again before she goes back to VA. I hope my manager is feeling generous!

[smeritt]

Well atleast your making and effort Whitey. Things are bound to go your way. Hope you got out of work

[whiteysax]

I didn't get out of work. My manager had too much paperwork to catch up on to run things herself. However, I'm told that this girl will be back up this way to celebrate her birthday the weekend of Feb 13... so perhaps a Valentine's woo-ing is in order :D

[gbs3769]

Bonus.

[DMBfan41]

so, guess whose coming to visit me today?

she's in the relationship with the boyfriend from home still though.

I guess Project: Friendship begins

You got this. I know you do.

[smeritt]

Do it Jared. I just got a tuner, capo and guitar book, let the learning begin.

[Jessica41]

good luck Jar

[gbs3769]

How was the move, Jess?

- Primo

[dmbosw41]

Jess moved? Wow I am out of the loop. Hope everything went well for you.

[il bacio dolce]

I actually looked at his pics again and thought, hm, maybe he isn't so bad. This is not a good thing. I have to see him, uh... some time in the near future. Better not get too in to detail. He will probably be with his chick... but now I am thinking I'd actually like someone's opinion of his looks. :lol

[il bacio dolce]

Jess moved? Wow I am out of the loop. Hope everything went well for you.
She moved in with her boy!

[DMBfan41]

So she left went back to school, we are still the same way we that were, still always flirting. I don't know. She still never mentions the boyfriend around me, she brought up the name once, but not him specifically.

I dunno, we'll see what happens this semester. I just want to try and look around for other girls while i have this on the backburner, you know?

[whiteysax]

He's on vacation somewhere or something.
:rolleyes He lives in Brazil = he lives in vacation

[whiteysax]

Follow-up to my hockey chic story... she messaged me today to tell me about her exploits with her obsession. She has the obsession with a certain player on the Bears. She met him after the game the other nite as the players were leaving the arena and actually got to talk to him. At the game last nite, she said he kept looking over at her and talking to the other guys and chuckling. Then she asked if he wanted to go to dinner and he said he might show up to this place in town. But wasn't sure. So she waited but he never showed. So I'm not sure what ot make of that. It's kind of a "celebrity crush" thing... but he did actually talk to her and remember her. I can't compete with that... but then again.. what are the chances. I'll slow play this hand.

[Popeye2003]

yeah, you're way cooler than that football guy for sure. while everyone wants to lust after someone out of our leagues, we usually don't get them. and if we do, it never works out!

Well he's hockey... but same premise... yes. And of course I'm cooler than him... I'm WHITEY! anyway... there are other fish in the sea as well... tis a large ocean!

[il bacio dolce]

Pops is baaaaaaaack! :bounce

[boarderx5423]

Hey y'all!

So here is a quick rundown on recent events with this gal I am crazy for. Asked her if she wanted to spend an evening down in the city, she seemed very excited and quickly agreed and started coming up with ideas about what we could do. She also asked me to go with her to the game instead of with my frat guys, so we went and just spent most of the game talking. After the game, we decided to do something later that evening, once we got some of our work done. She ended up having much more than she thought and had to cancel...

I saw her again two days later and we walked and talked for ~15 minutes, tried to set a date for our evening in the city, schedules pending, and she asked me to go with her to her friend's band's gig. I, of course, agreed, asked her if she wanted to get lunch, but she said she would pass because she was super tired, behind on work, and had a crazy day ahead of her with sorority stuff...

Basically, I am getting signs that says she is interested (saying "yes" to the evening in Chicago, asking me to the game and to her friend's gig, she was the one who brought up the idea of doing something post-game), but also getting signs that says she just wants to be friends (cancelling on the post-game, saying no to lunch). Both of those had reasons behind them, but she has a habit of not calling me back when I leave a message, although she claims she never calls people back...

The past week she has been swamped by sorority rush events, which basically take up from 3pm-3am, and trying to fit sleep, homework, and classes in there. Because of this schedule, I haven't heard from her in a few days, I know she is stressed out, but the no contact is still bugging me.

Am I just being paranoid that she may not be interested in more than a friendship or does it seem like she feels the same way?

[Jessica41]

How was the move, Jess?

- Primo

It went wonderfully. We got it all done last Friday, and all unpacked by Fri night at 3:30am. I'm so happy :D

[Jessica41]

So... how is everyone? This place has been dead lately.

[boarderx5423]

Been better, looking forward to the weekend already...

[smeritt]

I think its because I'm no longer hopeless. I helped in producing plenty of noise in here early during the school year. But I'm so happy now I don't know what to say. Plus Primos occupied and now you are to. Perhaps that is a reason. But I'm good how are you?

[rconverse]

In regards to your previous post about the girl, if she were into you, she would make time to go to the city and call you back. I would pretty much ignore her unless she initiates. Girls always want what they can't have (as do guys sometimes). See if she chases you, but right now you are making yourself too available at the least. Good luck. :thumbsup

[il bacio dolce]

Okay. Not HR material at all, but since nobody really chats in TNTB anymore and since the Gary chat thread is too lighthearted for it.... :lol

So I'm gonna ramble.. Feel free to comment.

So this hospital I am going to for obstetric ultrasound (one day a week at this place for OB, two at the hospital I've been going to for everything else) is all high-risk pregnancies. A lot of the stuff you never want to see, I get to see in almost all the OB ultrasounds I'm going to do between now and graduation. What fun. Although just being high-risk doesn't necessitate that something must be wrong, I mean all multiple gestations are considered high-risk even though all the babies might be perfectly healthy. :D Twinners. Yay. But the whole prospect of scanning abnormal pregnancies makes my stomach twist up in knots. I am trying to look on the brightside and just say, hey, I get to see stuff now in school that a lot of people don't see in their whole careers.

[gbs3769]

[Bre3607]

hey, guys..im ranting in this thread right now because it has an appropriate title. Ok so..just give me some opinions. I just got back into school, the first night, one of my best friends here and i were just bored and got to talking, then got to hanging out, watching a movie, and then it turned kind of hot and we made out alot, nothing else though.. now he kind of just doesnt talk to me like normal anymore and i asked him the next day if he was ok with what happened. he started this keep in mind it wasnt me. He said "yeah im cool with it, i just dunno what i want right now" and i said yeah same, it was fun though..

so do i just stop talking to him and let him make a move? he was one of my best friends now it feels so bad like i lost him.. arghhh im not asking to date i just want things to be normal

[DixieChixen]

Say just what you said in the post, "I don't care where it goes, it was just random," or better yet don't say anything at all and make sure you're not letting it hang in the air when you see him again. YOU try and make it feel like normal and there's not pressure and he probably will.

Sometimes guys don't want to have the whole "what's next, what did it mean, how do you really feel" conversation. If you truly don't care...let it go. Just make sure you know what you want to happen if you're ever in the situation again.

(above is my revised response to my gut reaction: too bad, fooling around fucks up your friendship, it just does, it becomes the big elelphant in the room. woops)

[Jessica41]

Yeah... congrats, man... i'll take over your roll, however. Seems like i have little problem finding the date, now. It's the generating enough interest to get her wheels turning. But I'm not depressed HR... I'm optimistic/happy HR :monkey

[DixieChixen]

In what ways and to what extent did constitutional and social developments between 1860 and 1877 amount to a revolution?

The first decisive split on the issue of states rights versus federal government. Who determines property laws, voting rights etc. Basically our entire origin of division state and local politics from our federal system since the constitutional convention. Make this the basis, discuss how the events leading up caused a split on the issue and how concessions on both sides of the union and the confederacy led to the creation of our more modern system = revolutionary.

Actually, now that I read this it still sounds like the shit I put out in school...seemed to work though. :D The profs ate it up.

Hey, it's been awhile.

I had the most random moment a few days ago. This girl was talking to me online. I go to college with her and she's in the closer group of friends that I hang out with. Anyways, we're talking online after supper as I had gone back to my room to grab something and she comes up and says she's bored. In a total joking manner, mind you it's on AIM, I reply with 'wanna make out?' She comes back with 'sure, come on over'. I go over to her room, thinking she won't follow through with whatever deal we had. She starts turning off lights and closed her door, locked it. Ends up we make out for an hour. Now, I've been kind of after her even before this happened, so I was just in awe after we were done. Now, I feel the need to ask her out even more than I felt before this happened, but for some reason I think that that encounter may hamper. It's hard to explain my thought. Any of you have any contributions?

I showed up, we did our thing and then that was that. Nothing happened with our relationship. What I suggest you do is talk to her about it. Say somethign along the lines of" did whatever happen the other night mean anything to you because before that happened i had feelings for you". Then go for there. Or you can take another approach and just ask her out to dinner or something and see if things go well that way you can avoid and awkward conversation. Basically you need to see where shes at.

Tread carefully, my friend. I have been here (albeit on the other side of the conversation) and finding out that the "no strings" session had feelings attached to it made me feel horrible for doing it. I would never have engaged had I known she was just trying to make me happy in order to get back together with me. Those are things that should be clear ahead of time. (imo)

It's kind of hard when the school you go to is 400 students large and you see each other more than once a day.

No I didn't.

I do too. But I can't use it, so I'll be holding a contest for it. Girls only. :D :lol
Ooh good idea!

[whiteysax]

well, im a girl, and ive done it. sorry. and i know my friends have done it. alcohol is usually involved, but its often a combination of boredom and just wanting some.
So Sarah.... whatcha doin' later tonite? ;)

[il bacio dolce]

So you would make out with some guy you are not at all attracted to simply because you want to get some?

I don't buy it.

- Primo
D-r-u-n-k and b-o-r-e-d.

You were horny and he was handy.

you can find someone attractive without being interested in them.

hahah, well said.

[Popeye2003]

we're talking making out, not having sex here.
Exactly.

:lol im not in college anymore :p

[Popeye2003]

Ooh good idea!
One interested. Good. At least my idea has a future :D

[Popeye2003]

It's kind of hard when the school you go to is 400 students large and you see each other more than once a day.
When I go to a party, and I don't know half the people there, I get to a girl I don't know, and is alone, and start a conversation. We might make out. No strings attached.

[gbs3769]

No, attraction is a level of interest.

:lol im not in college anymore :p
Neither am I... see, we already have TWO things in common!:hump

Negative. You can just make out and not be interested.

I must have missed this chapter in my life... :twak

[handsareme]

then why would she make out with me?

[Popeye2003]

I must have missed this chapter in my life... :twak
I don't do it that much. The one time I went over the edge, I made out with 5 women in 5 hours. And that's not close to what I've seen around. Girls want to have fun too.

[j_jgarcia]

Hmmm, I'm gonna agree with Primo. Sure you can go kissing any woman ya want. But I'm only gonna kiss a woman I want more than just a kiss from....why would I go kiss a woman I don't find attractive, just to satisfy an urge?...sounds retarded...

[Popeye2003]

then why would she make out with me?
1 - she's interested in you.
2 - she was bored and wanted to have some fun.

[eggie24]

then why would she make out with me?
no one said she wasnt interested in you. all im saying is, just because she did, doesnt mean she wants more. ive made out with plenty of guys that i was friendly with that i didnt want anything more with. i think i stated most of the reasons already.
but hopefully that isnt the case. good luck.

Agreed, I wouldn't have done if I'm not attracted to her. I'll look at the rest of the conversation after class.

cassie, where did you go?
attraction and interest are NOT the same thing, im sorry.
making out with someone im attracted to, does not mean im interested in them. if it makes you feel better to believe that, then go on, but i know what i and my friends did in college (and some continue to do)

[gbs3769]

ive made out with plenty of guys that i was friendly with that i didnt want anything more with.
But there was some level of interest there. Whether it was that you liked them as a friend, or they were attractive, or you wanted to know what it would be like to make out with them.

I'm not saying that you would ever get into a relationship with these people, but there has to be some level of interest for you to even consider making out with them.

if you want to define interest like that, i will agree, but somehow i dont think hubes just wanted to know what it was like to make out with her, although that is all she may have wanted.

I totally disagree. Maybe you just want to do some kissing, and so does the other person. Both get what they want, no string attached. No need to be interested in them.

:lol i already have someone to make out with though. next time in drunk, in pa, ill let you know ;)

[il bacio dolce]

Hm. Technically attraction is a type of interest. It's just not necessarily a love interest. ;)

Right, but personally I wouldn't be interested in somebody I'm not attracted to.....thus no need to smooch

[eggie24]

huh? that sounds backwards.
i can be attracted to someone and interested in nothing more than making out. the end.

[Popeye2003]

Yes.

[boarderx5423]

Negative. You can just make out and not be interested.
If you make out there must be at least a little level of interest. Maybe not interest in a relationship, but interest in the person in general.
