    I told ya - I'm going to sit on it for a day or two. I'm just being a fruit.

    Primarily because, like Sloth said, a girl who makes me that breakfast is a keeper :p

    dega.... :duh:

    Sounds like you're in the friendzone Stonedsurd, and i'm guessing you got there by being too much of a ***** with her :nono:

    Time to man up :dremel: Who cares what she does for you, if it doesn't suit you atm, then say so. It's being a ***** to let her manipulate/bribe you into doing things her way.
    Doesn't want you to hug her? Tell her to go away, sit somewhere else.
    Ask her to introduce a hot friend to you, and if she seems upset, then it's like "Wut? You obviously aren't interested"
    etc

    The attitude of "I don't want to lose her so i'm just gonna be a *****" is the exact opposite of manning up/being honest/feeling good about yourself/etc, imo anyway.

    Haha, MV is dispensing wisdom again :D

    Get with dames by being a dick? It's never worked for me before. My best friend - who's a girl - reckons that this dame is either lesbigay, evil or does like me but has major people and/or space issues.

    What seems to point towards #3, according to my friend, is the fact that she's taking all the initiative and giving all the attention. I am cordial and friendly, but I'm not the one slobbering all over her boots. She's the one jumping around for me, making the plans for dinner, movies, whateverthehellelse.

    And I wasn't a ***** (or any more or less than I normally am). I played it almost exactly like I've done with any other girl who seemed worth it.

    Not at all! Just saying to not suck up and be honest. You know, if you try to hug a girl, and she lets you know that it's unwelcome, and then you try again = sexual harrasment.
    But telling her "well don't sit right next to me if you don't wanna be hugged" is what would be on my mind, I imagine that's what was be on yours, and it's what I would say.

    But hey, if it's her then it's her. Maybe she just doesn't want anything intimate to happen for some reason?

    Ah, I get it.

    Maketh sense. I'm not much of a talker. Like I said in talladega's old thread, I'm barely hanging on with the confidence stuff myself. Anyway, I get what you're saying - don't be a doormat and vocalize. Will keep it in mind.

    My wife snogged another man whilst we were at the festival this year.

    I missed all the bands I wanted to see scouring the campsite trying to look for him to kick the crap out of him. I didn't find him completely ruined my weekend.

    Being in IT....
    WHY do I have to know WHY my mate's torrents aren't working, but the internet is.
    and then they get angry with me when I say "Really, dude... try the telecoms provider... I don't know... you restarted the PC, restarted the broadband router... I dunno...."

    Them: "But you work with COMPUTERS! Surely you KNOW EVERYTHING?! You've used every bit of software and always know how to fix anything else, how come you can't fix this?"

    You: "Yes, but I don't play The Sims"

    Like that, EXACTLY.
    YES - I used to run Windows Vista.
    I am however at work right now, and therefore don't have access to a Vista machine. It's all XP. When I am at home it's Win7 or OS X.
    So the best I can do is walk you through the issue in blind mode. This means, that you might occasionally have to explain to me what you see on screen, and what options you have.

    Everything's great here (uni) but every once in a while I will fall into a bout of depression in which I will stress and get angry and cry about issues with my ex-gf. And I will get mad at her like I did a month ago after the break up and stuff. (for being a crappy secretive gf near the end) Then I do things I regret. For example, last night I messaged her on Skype whilst angry and she got very angry at me in response for continuing to dwell on crap that we seemingly figured out and sorted out on the last 2 days before I moved here.

    I'm pretty much positive that I'm genuinely crazy. I can't keep doing this; it's extremely unhealthy. I made an appointment with a campus psychologist for tomorrow afternoon.

    My transfer counselor just completely ignored me, I came into school early for an appt (the only one I could get was 4 hours before the start of my classes), and she told me that she couldn't see me today, and I would have to re-schedual for another day, which means I have 4 hours to kill that I could have been at home sleeping, eating freshly prepared food, and playing video games. Instead I'm stuck on campus,with lousy internet, and no way to amuse myself other than flash games.

    We need details, man!

    Although, from reading the last couple of pages, it seemed like she was being nice for some other reason. My money is on eating your food, watching your movies, and crashing at your place without limits because you thought you might get to sniff her panties eventually.

    Which, yeah, pretty much describes a nut-job.

    As for me, the doc says I'm back down at a low after everything. Got appointments with counsellors to sort and another visit in 4 weeks. Fun.

    Its worse when you're in the room:

    Them: *throws mouse and keyboard at you* "You bloody do it then, don't show me eh??"

    :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:
    This kind of thing is why I NEVER try and stay in touch with exes, no matter how long or short I was with them.

    Sounds a bit cold-hearted, but its better for the psyche. Don't have much choice of looking back that way.

    My 2 month old linksys wireless-N router is broken since this morning. Just not giving off a wireless signal. The rest of it (broadband, network switching, configuration) works fine.
    Gave it in for RMA this morning, and still haven't heard back from them. When I called they just said "oh noes... not have time yet". DAMNIT! It took me a bloody half hour to test the thing, factory reset it, set it up again, try new firmware, AND take it to the shop.
    Now I have no internet at home.

    Gonna give them till lunch tomorrow, before I throw my weight around. I know they don't have anything comparable in stock, and that particular Linksys router has been discontinued/replaced. I don't want another Linksys (this is the second one that's giving me ****). So I want a refund, and then buy myself an AirPort.
