Love Sucks

A few of you may remember my other board, a few weeks ago; but:
This friend of mine, whom I have a crush on, we have been friends for AGES; and, he's leaving for Florida (vacation), and I, for Princeton (College programme for the summer). I am, of course, a liberal, not to mention gay, atheist; moreover, he, a semi-conservative Catholic (love is funny that way). I love the guy and pretty much throw myself out in to the open (in both meanings of the word); he loves me back, physically, some days; though, he has been going through the courses with religion and sexuality -- you can imagine. Due to such, he has been avoiding me for a bit over the last week, since we did a few things the last time we were together (use your imagination.) I really just want him to embrace who he, inside, and not to put on a visage to satiate the Catholic Church. Worst of all, for me, is that he pledges abstinence -- and I am moreover a whore, so that really isn't to my advantage, in the least. What am I to do? :(
Why couldn't I have fallen in love with a self-confident gay atheist whore?
P.S. I throw around the terms "whore" and "slut" lightly; I am not a prostitute. xP
Love Sucks
deez nuts.
Sorry, had to be done.
On the serious side, love is more blind than justice. At least justice has a guide dog or one of those sticks. Love has nothing. Love bumbs into something, has a vague feel about, decides it likes what it found and latches on like a drowning man.

Love doesn't ask too many questions. That's why it can make so many amazing things work.
However, experience helps filter slightly better.
No predictions on this one but... which of the above is actually the core question?

Did I ask more than one question? Point them out to me and I would be glad to clarify.

Well, if your lucky it does...
...aaaaannyway...
My last girlfriend drifted from the church when she started dating me. I don't know if she went back afterwards or not. I guess love doesn't care what kinds of imaginary friends people have...

One sounds like help me now, the other more like help me next time.
Do you think you could make this work?

I had a feeling that someone was going to pull a double entendre on the word "sucks" :p

If you truly love someone, you must set him free. If he doesn't return, blow up his church. *nod*
Note: My advice is rarely helpful.

I was looking for a more, umm ... legal? approach. :p

I think I see something here... if he is avoiding you over a host of issues, find out if he is reflecting and perhaps try to talk through it with him. He'll know a lot better than the denizens of the internet.
Catholics do have a hard time de-programming. I've seen it so often on so many different issues. He'll need to find some way to bridge that gap. That's something you can't force on anybody, never mind how good your intentions.

Maybe he just needs some time to figure out where he stands with religion/sexuality?
Yeah I remember your last thread....did you talk to him about insecurities and sexuality and whatever else I suggested?
Can you see yourself being with him for a long time? If so, let him sort his head out. If not, get yourself a nice dirty atheist boy ;)

I did; we semi-fucked; then, he stonewalled me when I tried to talk with him. :/

Go watch this together (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150662/). I managed to find some meaning, some self-discovery in it and I can really not relate to the characters in the film, you two probably can.

You can try that one involving the bowl of cockroaches, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and a Death Star....
*ahem*
Er, anyway, ... don't listen to my advice, it's never helpful unless your aim is to end up in a great deal of physical/mental pain/pleasure.

I greatly appreciate the suggestion; but, which one of us is "friendless, sad, and secretly in love with Elin." :p

To pull this a bit off-topic -- when are you going? I have a senior year program there in later July...

Ah. If we do overlap I'll probably be the only person you won't see, as I'll probably be spending most of my spare time on NS rather than socialising with real people... but such is the way of the Generalite. ^.~

I'm there until the end of July; but, if you happen to go clubbing, look for me :p

That's really only the premise for the movie. I'm not friendles, sad or secretly in love with anybody yet I managed to pull something from that movie. I just figure if the two of you watch it and understand it together maybe it can help both of you understand each other a little better.

Although from what I've read of you our circles probably won't overlap much anyway. Still, if you visit the computer labs or internet terminals, look for high school kids playing NS....

Hmm. I'm a bisexual Pentacostal Christian and I do NOT pledge abstinence.
Find someone else, that's my advice.

The former is the ending turns out happily; the latter if the former does not. Anyway, it's not like we haven't done anything; I hate philisophical questions because you can't win at them.

I do ask that regularly, and I would still rather love than either be loved, or not love.
