As Valentines Day gets closer, I feel a thread to discuss love, romance, and whatever the hell else has to do with love! Do you feel the love? Or do you feel the love the card companies have for your money? Is love what gets you up in the morning? ;)

I hardly remember, observe or acknowledge the existence of Valentine's Day. I don't need it, I don't want it, I can't use it for anything. What good is it to me?

"Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope... love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds."

All Valentine's Day will do to me this year is remind me how badly I screwed up my chances with a particular lady.

*becomes emo*

*dyes hair*

HK-47 is cool.:)


Valentine's Day is not of any importance to me.

I've yet to find anyone...

EMO...nah...I just haven't the time...

Why do I need to tell my wife I love her on Valentines Day when I don't do it on any other day;)

Why do I need to tell my wife I love her on Valentines Day when I don't do it on any other day;)

Because it is the will of the retailers.... you must!

Valentine's Day is not of any importance to me.

AK47 is a cheap gun to buy

That is so typical: Ruffy talks about love and it takes you guys 2 seconds to start talking about guns. :(

Anyway - that's a really nice card for us you put in the envelope, Ruffy! Thanks.

Yes, I feel the love and I have a date on Friday. Another real one. I don't know what to cook yet, but that'll sort itself out.
And it's the same lady to come visit me who had already spent New Years Eve with me...

But the wait in between was sooo long!?! I'm really looking forward to this Friday. Ooooh baby!

I loathe Valentine's day! It's just a way of flogging over-priced pink tat with hearts* stuck on it, and trying to make people who don't participate upset!

I have nothing to do with it. But this year my girlfriend has, apparently, bought me a card. Two years and she starts now! Graagh! :mad:

*Hearts aren't even that shape! And they're just blood pumps! So they pump the fluid to engorge your genitalia, but that's not particularly romantic, is it?

I'm not upset. I sit back and laugh at the silly sheep :D

I'm not upset. I sit back and laugh at the silly sheep :D

But they want you to be upset, because you're not buying their overpriced pink shit.
They want you to feel guilty for that.
It's even worse than Christmas.

It makes me angry :mad:

By not being upset, angry or guilty I win. So calm down, out of spite if you have to.

*Breathes deeply, twitching slightly*

I haven't felt loved in years. But a lovely card anyway, Ruffy, thank you (I would fluffle, but not sure you would appreciate it considering your sig).

I doubt I will do anything on Valentine's day considering my singleness, and will probably spend much of the day thinking of important people in my life, friends and limerrent people.

When Valentine's Day approaches I think of my old Chicago buddies...

I miss you guys... Jimmy, Frank, Pete, Adam, Johnny, Doc and Al.

R.I.P.

i'm quite looking forward to valentine's day this year. last year i got to meet up with my (now) girlfriend, and this year we get to celebrate 1 year together by going to amsterdam for a romantic/lazy long weekend together :)

I fluffled Ruffy, and then took the fluffle out of my post... I like me balls where they are! (And I might need'em at the end of this week!!!)

Well, it doesnt come as a surprise to realize most NS members are as ignorant about love as a 7 year old puppy.

I too shall join the cynical crowd of those who have the utmost contempt for this shallow holiday, whose sole purpose is nothing more than an attempt to generate cash for the greeting card industry who hits a slump between Christmas and Easter.

Further, if it'll make anyone feel better about NOT having a date for this pointless holiday, I'm engaged to a guy who also hates Valentine's Day and we both refuse to celebrate it because it's the worse holiday. We don't get the day off and the present options are lousy... blah blah blah... etc.

I never had a "boyfriend" on Valentines day before I was married, so I never really did the "traditional" stuff. My husband buys me things and takes me out and shows me love and affection all year long so basically Valentine's day is an excuse for us to go out to a nice dinner, seeing as people offer to babysit so we can "go out on a date". We end up going out on a date once a week anyway, but if people really want to babysit on that night we aren't really going to turn them down, especially when they start calling 2 weeks in advance.

An excuse to remind me that every girl I've ever really liked left because I'm immature, indecisive and apathetic.

Currently depserately seeking the source of the line that reads something like; "I did not love, but sought to love"

Now I'm glad my internet is screwing up.

Also: I hereby declare that Valentine's Day is NOT a day for lovers to declare their love for each other! (They should do that EVERY day!) Instead, it shall be a day set aside for all of us without love to go all emo and complain about it!

I hate any pretentious shit. Why do you require no lover to complain about Valentine's Day?

Someone needs to play more KOTOR II. :)

Just as you get the xmas bills under control, WHAM! St. Valentines day. Another manufactured (actually stolen) holiday designed to seperate you from your hard earned cash.

Someone needs to play more KOTOR II. :)

I would've absolutely loved that game if it wasn't for the abhorrent amount of storyline bugs.

"Handmaiden, what's your name?"

"My name is ....."

Come back to her five minutes later.

"Handmaiden, what's your name?"

"My name is ....."

Five minutes later.

"Handmaiden, what's your name?

"My name is ...."

So on and so forth. And every time both I and her act like she's never told me.

Um, doesn't that happen in most RPGs?

Um, doesn't that happen in most RPGs?

Yeah, but KOTOR isn't supposed to be "Most RPGs".

I really can't stand Valentine's Day. It's an attempt to commercialise AtC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_consequences) by linking it with love, and on principle I despise anything that uses logical fallacies to make its point. Especially annoying is the message that people will love you more if you buy them stuff, which isn't true (I know from experience both ways).

[EDIT: actually it's more like "Appeal to responsibility or duty", which Wiki doesn't have, so ad consequentiam will have to do:

If P, then Q.
Q is desirable.
Therefore, P is true.]

I strongly dislike Valentines Day because I find it cheep and I think it encourages people to waste money on impersonally BS that has nothing to do with love.

However, I'm dating somebody who likes Valentine's Day. So I'm buying flowers.

You said "cheep"...

Bottle is a new species of bird! It is notable female and doesn't like morons and squawks incessantly when morons are present. ;)

Love is mutual stalking

Oh and I'm having a star named after my victim

Good luck with her Bottle! :fluffle:

I'm having a star named after my victimNow that's fucking romantic!

I don't get Valentine's Day though. Do people seriously want a special calender day, designed for them to fling cheap useless crap at their lovers? ... It makes no sense to me. More than anything, people buying into the valetines crap comes across (to me anyway) as though they don't actually love their partners, but simply keep them around to conform.

Valentine's Day is fucking anathema to romance, in my not so humble opinion.

"Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope... love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds."

Damn, you beat me to it!!! :mad: ;)

ooh do I hate Valetines day

Ditto

*becomes emo*

*dyes hair*

Eh, no.

Hmm, Valentines day should be fun. What exactly do you do for someone who's not really into that feminine shite and you're very casual with?

Actually, what the fuck am I talking about? I'll buy her a pint and a kebab, I hear women love being wined and dined.

Love, valentines day, etc blows.

I've never celebrated Valentine's Day. It's weird. Don't ask me why, it just doesn't resonate with me. But on the subject of love itself, well, I'm just full of that milk of human kindness and heady brew of lust, and there are a few people on the receiving end of that. They know who they are :fluffle:

Thank you, Ruffy.

This is the first Valentine that I've received in years (even if it was to all of NSG) that didn't involve a coupon for a Hallmark product.

i am jealous of this thread

The only time I was a fan on Valentine's Day is when me and my girlfriend started going out. Unfortunately, she's now my ex-girlfriend, and I've gone back to detesting it.

Yes, I feel the love and I have a date on Friday!

Umm. This probably shows how much I know (and, well, care), but isn't it on the 14th? Which is, well, a Wednesday?

So they pump the fluid to engorge your genitalia, but that's not particularly romantic, is it?
That reminds me ... isn't there a special Valentine's Day version of Viagra, little pink heart-shaped pills?

I hardly remember, observe or acknowledge the existence of Valentine's Day. I don't need it, I don't want it, I can't use it for anything. What good is it to me?

It's worth a fluffle.

:fluffle:

I would have made plans, had I not found out the girl I've been in love with is a lesbian.

That's not necessarily an impediment to plans, so much as an enhancement, perhaps.

Love? That's of no importance to me. Fuck Valentine's Day. I got Ashley (the girl I made a thread about) a Valentine last year. Even nicked a flower and got a Hershey's Kiss. What did that do? Nada. Zip. Zero. Baccarat. Jack shit. Nobody ever gives me anything (except in elementary, where you have to), so Valentine's Day has no concern for me. What gets me up in the morning is that I have to, or my mom will scream at me.

I would have made plans, had I not found out the girl I've been in love with is a lesbian.

Whoa, the last time I had a crush, I was afraid of that. That's a little out of the ordinary.

Well, I'm a male, so it couldn't really work out between us.

You must mean "exclusive", i'll assume from this point.
Hasn't been much my experience, but my condolences to you nonetheless.

I don't know what causes it, but my boyfriend and I always tend to break up around V-Day. It's never that serious... just something like, "I'm not talking to you for the rest of the week."

I think it helps to remind us that having one day out of the entire year dedicated to fluffly wuvvy-duvvy gifts and expectations is bullcrap.

Thanx for the picture. At first i was afraid of clicking that image, thinking it was something gross or one of those vids that supposed to scare the shit out of people.

As for my Valentines Day, Im staying out of my dorm cause my roommate will be screwing his girlfriend and my neighboors will be screwing next door too, so I have nowhere to sleep until the next day (lousy jerks). I think ill spend it getting drunk on lots of Rum. Its seems the closer VDay gets, the more irritable I become. O well, SS DD. For those who have someone to spend VDay with, have a good one. For those who don't, here's some Rum.

whew, that was closer than when my priest and scout master tried to spread their love :)

Love...Valentines day...relationship series at church. Why does everything have to remind me that I am a lonely fool?

*dodges moneyshot*

whew, that was closer than when my priest and scout master tried to spread their love :)

LOL!

You to go to church and the scouts? oh the horror....

It's going to be a most untypical valentines day for me.

For about 4 years now, a group of us that used to hang out in high school have headed down into the city and on the day had an anti-Valentines day barbeque in a park or on a beach somewhere. It's a good excuse to catch up with people I wouldn't see otherwise and get everyone together like old times, I guess.

Only problem is that now the tradition has degenerated...I think i'm the only one (or one of a scant minority) not in a relationship, so it's no longer going to be an anti-Valentines day thing. I took the day off work, but upon reflection, I don't actually think i'm going to go this year.

I never acknowledged it before, and don't need/want to this year.

Valentine's Day is just an excuse for Hallmark to take you on a guilt-trip for not buying their mushy crap.

I don't celebrate St. Valentine's. I'm an aphilist.

LOL!

You to go to church and the scouts? oh the horror....

Hehe naw never was a scout. I am however a sexually frustrated Catholic-ish guy :D

1 year for me and Huw :) Yay! :fluffle:

I'll just accept that fluffle anyway - I'm still kind of lonely (till Friday, at least...)

You'll hear from me soon - thanks for the TG. :)

In my current relationship, Valentine's Day isn't so much about gifts, flowers or silly cards as it is a reminder for us to take some time out and really enjoy spending some time together. This year we're using it as an excuse to go out for a nice dinner, but the past few years we stayed in and cooked instead. Actually, this year the dinner is going to be on the 16th, since we're both busy during the week. Come to think of it, I don't think we've ever done anything to "celebrate" on the 14th. Huh.

I have had boyfriends who went really overboard though. One year I was dating this crazy guy who got me flowers, a gift (a gold bracelet that I didn't keep), a huge thing of chocolate, and took me out for dinner. I thought that was really silly.

Him: Here, this is for you.
Me: *opens gift*
Him: Do you like it?
Me: It's gorgeous, but I can't keep it.
Him: Why not?
Me: Uhh... you realize we've only been on like three dates?
Him: So?
Me: And you already got me a ridiculously large bouquet of flowers?
Him: Yeah?
Me: And a box of chocolate that looks like it's going to last for months? And you're taking me out to dinner?
Him: What's your point?
Me: ...

I think I hurt his feelings. :p We stopped dating shortly after that though, so I bet he ended up being relieved I didn't keep the bracelet.

Here's a pre-Valentine's Day fluffle for Ladamesansmerci: :fluffle:

Good lord, look at all the sourpusses in this thread!

Sure, Valentine's Day may be overly commercial, but some girls really dig it. If I was to take a stern anti-Valentine stance, my fiance would beat the living snot out of me :p It's an excuse to be overly soppy and romantic, which is cool and I rather enjoy it.

I just hope I get flowers from SOMEbody. I don't care who anymore. :cool:

Here is something I thought was funny and your quote reminded me of it.

So I got a call from my parents today and we start talking. So we get on the subject of Valentine's Day and they say my younger brother is going to a dance at his school with a close friend of his and that cool and all. So my mom asks me if I am doing anything for Vday and I said, "No, I don't have anyone to spend it with so I am just going to do some homework, work at the library, and possibly drunk a wee bit of rum with my friends Mike and Dave." Suddenly, she asks me if I am gay. This really caught me off guard and I started laughing, thinking she was joking around. But she was serious. Afterwards I was just chuckling to myself cause I thought it was very funny in a sad way.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time I was having dinner with a friend and his mom and sister, and his mom out of nowhere is like, "Chuck, it's okay if you're gay. You can tell me, I won't care. You'll probably feel better if you just talk about it." So weird. (He's not gay, but he does act sort of questionable on a regular basis.)

I mean, I can somewhat understand why they would ask me (I haven't been in any form of a romantic relationship in 2 years) but still, it was pretty random. And then they start the whole "Your younger brother looks up to you. He'll do what you do" speech as if being gay is contagious. I couldn't stop laughing through the entire convosation so my mom hung up. I love my mom, but sometimes she can erk me a bit.

no flowers for Ed?

*emo tears*

*bottles them up and waters my lawn*

Such an easy way to mow a lawn.

*thinks quietly...*

"Hey Stacy, remember when you said you didn't want to use a razor..."

:) couldn't help myself

Love...Valentines day...relationship series at church. Why does everything have to remind me that I am a lonely fool?

[self-pity rant]

You know what's worse? Hearing the sixth-graders talk about who's going out with who. The fact the fucking sixth-graders have gone farther than I have...well, that's adding insult to celibacy.

[/self-pity rant]

I'm too depressed to feel happy about a stupid commercial holiday I never cared about.

Wow, that sentence just didn't make any sense whatsoever.

Ladame, that makes sense. Definitely fucking makes sense.

Cripes, are your parents that worried that you might be gay? My mother has made it clear that she wishes I WERE gay, so maybe I wouldn't end up dating so many questionable people of the opposite gender.

Ladame, that makes sense. Definitely fucking makes sense.
Nothing makes sense in my mind except that this is the first Valentine's Day I've actually cared about, which doesn't make sense either.

Good lord, look at all the sourpusses in this thread!

Sure, Valentine's Day may be overly commercial, but some girls really dig it. If I was to take a stern anti-Valentine stance, my fiance would beat the living snot out of me :p It's an excuse to be overly soppy and romantic, which is cool and I rather enjoy it.

Well, you have a fucking fiancee. I got nothing. Not even a girlfriend, a date, or even a girl who flirts with me. The only time I ever took Valentine's Day seriously is last year. And we all know how well that worked out (Just work with me here). You can afford to enjoy it. I can't.

Valentine's Day. I get my b/f comic books, he gets me a box of Star Wars miniatures, then we go out for pie.

Oh for goodness' sake. When it comes down to it, it's just another day of the year, no different from any other day of the year when being single can be just as fun as being in a relationship. I don't know what gave you the idea that you need to have a girlfriend, date, or person to flirt with in order to enjoy your life, but you really need to get over that. Instead of moping over the fact that you don't have a significant other for Valentine's Day, why don't you get together with friends and just hang out with them? Play video games, watch movies, go out for dinner, whatever floats your boat. Or if you don't want to hang out with friends, do something solo that you enjoy. Just because you're single, doesn't mean you can't have fun. Geez.

Although I agree we shouldn't mope, it is pretty hard not to when everyone around you is enjoying VDay with someone they care about. Although being single is ok some of the time, many people really want that someone special to be happy with. To spend time with. Alot of time VDay seems like a crappy day because we are reminded that we haven't found that one person that fits with us. And hanging with friends over time gets tough because soon they begin to find love and they go out with there bf/gf. So then its down to you and a half-empty bottle of booze.

Its just my opinion. I really don't want to argue. I just hope everyone has a good Vday, whether you are single or with someone. And Johnny B Goode, don;t worry man. You'll get that someone. No worries mate.

Fair enough. I guess my problem is that I've always seen Valentine's Day as just another day in the year. If I happened to be with someone, cool, but if I wasn't it was never a big deal. Same goes for most of my friends, so I have a hard time empathizing with people who get down just because they happen to be single on Valentine's Day.

No argument, just trying to get a point across. :) And I'm quite happy to agree with you on the bolded point. And the last point, for that matter. Don't know if you knew this, but JBG is something like 13 or 14 years old, far too young in my opinion to be quite so cynical about something as silly as Valentine's Day.

Ah its glad to have two people come to a mutual agreement without flaming. That's usually why I don't post very often. I'm usually afraid someone is going to troll or start a flamewar.

Yeah. You're right, Rameria. I think I'll get through it. I know you don't need a bf/gf to enjoy life, but it helps, ne?

Sorry about that rant though. I deal with things by not thinking about them. So when I have to think about it, I explode. And true, for my age, I'm pretty cynical, so I'm OK. The thing is, if people don't talk to me, or acknowledge me in some way, I get sorta emo and all 'Why don't people know I exist?' But I got off the 'oh woe is me' kick. good for you to know.

unless something goes terribly wrong in the next two weeks, the year will be the first time I've ever had a girlfriend on Valentine's Day.

No worries, dude. Just enjoy life, be your own person, and the rest will fall into place in good time. That's been my experience, anyway. :fluffle:

Better knock on wood, dude.

Better knock on wood, dude.

Knock on wood? Believe me, I'd be willing to hit myself over the head with a 2x4 to keep from screwing this up.

It's just going to be another year of lonliness for me, I believe. See, I'm over-the-moon about this one guy, but he's too stupid to notice that I'm good for him, and keeps having these little highly physical flings with girls he doesn't really like. When he's having the flings, he doesn't talk to me, and ignores me in the halls, and refuses to look me in the eye. But when he's single, he talks to me all the time, these long, deep conversations with lot's of eye contact, and looks right at me if I'm standing across the room. But then it's like he decides which days he wants to talk to me, and which days he wants to pretend I don't exist, and it gets pretty hard on my emotions to be on a roller coaster (ooh, a cliché!) all the time. I just don't get him. But I can't give him up. Right as soon as I'm going to, I see him, and he looks so damn good, or he finally talks to me again after three weeks of the silent treatment, and I remember what I like about him. And somewhere inside me, I have this foolish hope that he's just being immature and is too blind to see I'm the only one he should be with.

Hmmm...now I think I know why people call me a hopeless romantic.

Love is mutual stalking

Oh and I'm having a star named after my victim

My sister's boyfriend did that for her! It was so romantic! I hope they get married...

No worries, dude. Just enjoy life, be your own person, and the rest will fall into place in good time. That's been my experience, anyway. :fluffle:

Aw, thanks. :fluffle:

Knock on wood? Believe me, I'd be willing to hit myself over the head with a 2x4 to keep from screwing this up.

That's sweet. <3

I loves the vodka.

I loves the vodka.
Gimme some!

Gimme some!

With the day I've had? Hell to the no!

With the day I've had? Hell to the no!
Oh well, it was worth a try. What was wrong with your day?

The idea of Valentine's Day is fine, but I agree that it's overcommercialized.

Good news people:

Though we are not a couple, I now, as of today, Have a date for the prom,
and a date for Valentine's week (My Miel is busy on Valentine's day itself).

I is very happy :) :)

Oh well, it was worth a try. What was wrong with your day?

It was terrible, and my keyboard is dead, so I am using this on-screen keyboard, and it takes too much effort to type, and my vodka is gone, so I now have a bottle of wine.. wana share this?

Awesome!!

And I have awesome news too!!

...


...


...


I just stocked up on a weeks worth of rum and vodka for me and my amigos!! Booyah!!

snip

Hmmm...now I think I know why people call me a hopeless romantic.

have you told him you love him? because maybe he likes you too but he doesn't know you love him (yeah, us men can be stupid like that). and maybe he doesn't talk to you when he had another girl because he's sorry or because he regrets it wasn't you or something.

It was terrible, and my keyboard is dead, so I am using this on-screen keyboard, and it takes too much effort to type, and my vodka is gone, so I now have a bottle of wine.. wana share this?
That sucks. I will share the wine, though. :)

A :fluffle: to anyone who wants it. If anyone wants a NS valentine, let me know. :fluffle:

It's ...romantic.

Im sorry. Yeah it sucks when that happens, but you still have a chance. Just sit him down and tell him because nothing is worse than being to scared to tell someone you love them. And most of us guys are boneheads about that kind of thing. Good luck terrorist (That brings a smile to my face :) )



Guess we all have one of those unrequited loves. Mines name was Stacy. Honestly meeting her may have been the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. In a college full of shallow people and stuck-up sorority girls, she stood out. She was smart. Very smart. We would spend hours debating and talking about any subject, from Quantim Physics to Philosophy to Poetry to even Comedy Central :) She was very intelligent and had her own independant way of thinking, but she was open minded and accepting of other cultures and ways of thinking. I respected her and in time it became flat out love.

Unfortunately, I got the courage to tell her how I felt about her on one of our dates about two weeks ago. I was shot down like a Nuke zooming over China. She seemed almost disgusted by the fact that I even thought about asking her out. It was then that I realized how shallow she was and all the respect I had for her I lost that day. After that she just went around pretending like nothing ever happened. I have to say it hurt. Usually I keep some sort of "diosconnected-ness" between me and some people but for her i really trusted her. So yeah now shes with her awesome, hot, washboard-abs boy toy for Valentines Day. So this VDay I am just going to go to the beach with my friends and get completely drunk.

That sucks. I will share the wine, though. :)

*shares*

man i could go for some red wine right about now...

*runs to my church*

Me: "Father, I need communion!"
Father: "Ok my son. Drink the blood of Chris...HEY!! GIVE ME BACK THAT BOTTLE!!

*runs very quickly out of the church while saying alot of Hail Marys*

:D

And maybe get revenge. Try leaving a message saying "Fuck you."

that would probably ruin her day :rolleyes: :p

Send her sex toys to her parents...

And maybe get revenge. Try leaving a message saying "Fuck you."

Where's the love? :p

And maybe get revenge. Try leaving a message saying "Fuck you."

haha naw that's aright. I mean yeah it still hurts like a mofo, but I gotta stand back up, dust myself off and keep taking the punches.

Actually my plans just changed like 5 minutes ago. Since my "single" friends have ditched me an hour ago for their dates, I wasn't going to do anything. But now I am spending a lovely dinner with a beautiful woman from Burma. Sure its just as a friend, but who knows. Time and lots of Burmese food will tell.

Send her sex toys to her parents...

Actually, me and a couple of friends were planning to wrap a condom around her showerhead when she stepped out. That would be funny.

I'm not mad at her. I just hope she has a happy life...down an elevator shaft...onto bullets...ok so maybe im still bitter...

Nitpick: It's Burmese.

That wouldn't be so bad. Thanks, Morgana.

Lolz.

I have never tried it but I am convinced the idea is sound.

Fixed

have you told him you love him? because maybe he likes you too but he doesn't know you love him (yeah, us men can be stupid like that). and maybe he doesn't talk to you when he had another girl because he's sorry or because he regrets it wasn't you or something.

No, I've never had the courage to tell him. I kinda figured it's probably obvious to him, since I'm not always that subtle. And any time there's a hint of anything remotely serious about my feelings, he seems to get scared and avoid me. And I know that nothing can happen unless I'm honest with him, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would be gentle with me if I told him. There are moments when he's so honest and sincere with me, and I feel so connected to him, and moments when he's a total ass and it's like he's distracted and can't focus on me. I would feel much more relaxed about the situation if he didn't have three-hundred other girls who all want to be with him, some of whom are very attractive. How can I compete with them? I just a nerd, and he knows it! He seems to be very amused by my love for classes like history and english and my knowledge of communist dictators. Oh, dear...I'm just blabbing away now! Point is, everybody tells me I should tell him how I feel, but how do I do that, when I haven't even been courageous enough to get his email? Damn, I wish I was better at this!
And thanks to all for your advice/support/stories!

Well there is only one actual way to tell him and thats telling him. Just gotta be strong, practice, and go for it. Good luck to you.

I kinda figured it's probably obvious to him, since I'm not always that subtle.
i don't know how un-subtle you were, but it could be that you aren't obvious enough, some guys really don't get subtle hints. we're more into facts etc. (generaly speaking of course)

And any time there's a hint of anything remotely serious about my feelings, he seems to get scared and avoid me.
i can be like that too i guess, maybe he's just afraid of serious relationships, that would also explain the short physical 'relationships' with other girls.

And I know that nothing can happen unless I'm honest with him, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would be gentle with me if I told him.
i never get why anybody would intentionally want to hurt anybody else. but you're right that nothing can happen unless you're honest with him.

There are moments when he's so honest and sincere with me, and I feel so connected to him, and moments when he's a total ass and it's like he's distracted and can't focus on me. I would feel much more relaxed about the situation if he didn't have three-hundred other girls who all want to be with him, some of whom are very attractive. How can I compete with them?
i don't exactly know how you could compete with him, but i'm certain that 'doing nothing' won't help your cause much.

I just a nerd, and he knows it! He seems to be very amused by my love for classes like history and english and my knowledge of communist dictators.
he's amused with your interests, that means that he's not annoyed by them.
and are there people who don't love history???

Oh, dear...I'm just blabbing away now! Point is, everybody tells me I should tell him how I feel, but how do I do that, when I haven't even been courageous enough to get his email? Damn, I wish I was better at this!
And thanks to all for your advice/support/stories!
maybe you should start with small things, like his email. if you already talk a lot with him it can't be that hard to 'casually' ask him. also if you're in his class can't you ask it "for schoolwork" or something similar?
and it think we all wish we were better at that :).
but anyway, good luck!

I'm too depressed to feel happy about a stupid commercial holiday I never cared about.

Wow, that sentence just didn't make any sense whatsoever.

Here, have a fluffle: :fluffle:

unless something goes terribly wrong in the next two weeks, the year will be the first time I've ever had a girlfriend on Valentine's Day.

Happy to hear things seem to be looking up for you :) All the best with you and your girlfriend :) :fluffle:

:fluffle: Hey!

So happy for the two of you!

I'll just accept that fluffle anyway - I'm still kind of lonely (till Friday, at least...)

You'll hear from me soon - thanks for the TG. :)
Aww, thank you! :D :fluffle:
and I look forward to a TG :) (no rush - I'd be a hypocrit to say otherwise :p)

and I hope Friday goes well... :)
