Call me old-fashioned but if I walk up to someone and call them a friend, that means I'am THERE for that person on the spot!

If I were to strictly apply the friend title, I would only have two. Two guys I grew up with whom I call brothers.

Nowadays people just call when there's an emergency. No one calls to say "Hello'.

Only a few family members call me to say hello. Other times it's just texts. But, I don't know if calling adds on to your phone bill since I'm with Verizon.

I think you need say sorry to the new girl. That "sometimes" could be weeks or months but you don't know what the new girl can bring to you in life.

Well it's done and dusted now. She took it as the entire relationship meant nothing to which I said numerous times that it did.

She did make me happy when I was in her company. But I just thought it wasn't fair on her to stay with her if I'm not over my ex fully.

Exactly. I think Slash's girl is that type... Just saying.

Edit: you misinterpreted my post, I meant that the girls enjoy the sex more... At least, I believe so.

Your vast amounts of experience at Wal-Mart checkout lines have really provided some valuable insights before.

I'm not sure which you know less about; relationships, or cars.

The title of this thread is misleading.

I think most of use thought of "General" was for with our significant other.

Again, if they're a slut and love drunk sex every weekend, sure.

Sex is what both parties make of it. I'm not surprised if this escapes you.
 
@Madertus I realized something, I might have put my words together wrongly yesterday weeks ago. I wasn't implying you were also like me, an immature fool. Just the part about being with somebody else. Just like you, I prefer being alone.

So I've had it with texting. I am ALWAYS the one who starts a conversation with my 'friends'. It pisses me off. Because I am the ONLY one who is willing to put an effort into a friendship and ask 'How are you?' 'Hey luv!' 'Hi babe, how was your day?'. I am the ONLY one that cares and it pisses me off every goddamn day!

Anytime someone texts me, is if they're interested in something. 'Do you have the schedule?' 'Do you have this?' 'Is there something happening tomorrow?'

'NO! 🤬 you! What happened to hello?!'

NO ONE has ever asked 'How are you Sal?' 'How was your day?' 'Wassup?!'

Whatever happened to that ship named Friend....? Oh, I see it has already sailed.

Hey sup, how you doing? (There, happy now? :p)

Try not being your usual self for a while. Try not texting to say 'hi' for a week or two and see who notices. Don't you just love experiments?

When school ended for me, I never kept in touch with any of my old schoolmates and after a while, I realized this. But to be honest, I'm part of the problem in that anyway.

Don't be afraid to try the experiment yourself! You'll definitely fare better than me! :p

How do you come to the conclusion she isn't the right one for Slash, any how? All we've advised is not put himself out there so much.

This basically. Just taking it easy on her right now. 👍

I meant the "relationship" part.
 
Suddenly this turned into the General Friendship thread!

I agree with maaaaaany posts of the current page... it's so damn true... Sad & true...

Personally, I don't care being the guy that always starts text conversations or calls... I care for a lot of people... :) And I don't care if they call me or not, they are still important to me :)

On topic... well, there's nothing important to mention... :p

You obviously don't know many women then.


Having a one nighter with someone ain't a relationship. A girl for a one nighters just that, but "use until they've worn out" is rather sexist. The greatest likeliness to a tyre I find is if you pay for them... (not in anyway insinuating that anyone here does that)... And those women don't really value themselves if that's all they are interested in.



My number #1 thing I have found out about women myself personally is know when to keep your distance or not - sometimes I feel like it's "damned if you do go near as they think you're getting too close, damned if you don''t because it's not showing you caring". Can anyone else here relate to that?

Now, I'm not entirely sure which sorts of women you're suggesting don't value themselves by that statement - either those that are paid for, or simply those that have one-nighters - but that's a massively large assumption to make without knowing any of the details.

So long as both parties are on the same page - and safe - there is nothing inherently wrong with one-nighters.
 
Unfortunately, in most cases both parties are not on the same page.

This Slip ^^^ And I am aware it was perhaps a little bit of a generalization.

A certain group of posts from you in The Infield suggested otherwise.

Hey, whatever happens in the Infield stays in the Infield.

The term 'friend' nowadays just means someone you know and don't have problems with so you'd associate with them to do something that you want with them... or at least to most people. Very few are worthy of the proper 'friend' title.

The word friend is a word some people don't like in this thread, or something they just can't be with a person.. Nothing wrong with talking about friendships in this thread, besides, this is the general relationship thread.

What Andrew says in the Infield can stay there the day he stops pouting, "I'm never coming back to this section" instead of returning once every 2 months to give some unwarranted information about how awesome his Subaru/GTAcademy skills/whatever is.
 
She showed up at my house completely unannounced. BEST. NIGHT. IN. A. LONG. TIME.




Oddly, my sister arranged it without me knowing...

This 100%. There seems to be a lot of double standards being thrown around in this thread. But I'm not going to start an argument over them.




Anyway, switching gears. Just like out of a movie, I saw my ex with a new guy the other day. She hadn't crossed my thoughts in ages, yet at that single point, jealousy, longing, anger, hate, and bitterness all washed over me lol. Why does that happen? One minute I was completely fine with never talking to her again, then literally another minute later I simultaneously missed her, liked her, hated her, and would have done anything to win her back. Those feelings for the most part faded as the day went on. Needless to say, I really could have gone without that. I mean, nearly 5 million people live in the metro area here, but I run into them?
On a decent note though, my boss, who's a pretty awesome girl, has been sending some strong signals my way. Our company doesn't have a policy against dating, so at the next "team" outing I will start fishing for clues, then make moves from there. Ah sweet, back on the scene haha. :)

Dude with your story nothing is odd at this point...
 
There's a lot more I haven't posted.
 
She hates her ex boyfriend. She wants to punch him in the mouth. The kid that did everything to her. This past Saturday she ran into him at a concert and he threw a glass cup at her and it sliced her leg open. There's a nasty gash there.
