hello I am PsyTron and I am clean ubbrollsmile
I was in relationship the last 5 years of my life(i am 23-24 now) with 3 different people.Normally I thought that there is not any other kind of relationship except serious ones.(when I say serious i do not mean marriage).I broke up with my last boyfriend one month ago.We were together for 2 years.We were practicaly living together.This relationship, i knew it was making me weak:( too much pressure.Here is a song that I like and I have never listened to the lyrics until now... and i think it sais a lot of what i want to say:
here's my life and here's my way
and here's my body here's my pain
meet my mother see my train
get on get on get on get on

walk with me in my strange life
I've no things to show and no things to hide
life is fair and this blooming game
will go on and on and on

this possession never was a question
a healer for this tension
tenderness and pressure
from my warnings all you got was your needs
all you did was promise
you were only fake

little by little touch by touch
our eyes grew cold our hands grew rough
little by little losing touch
hello hello hello hello

failed in trust got sunk in pain
obsessed with love and clouds and rain
lives collapse and this [censored] game
goes on and on and on



the last 4 lines are what i really know from my experience.
In this time of my life I do not want to have any relationship.I have someone that we talk and we sleep together but I do not want anything more.Enough is enough redface

so what do you think???

I know the problem. I know it well.

Go for it.

If you don't, then you will keep wondering, and keep wondering, and keep wondering. And then when you finally do find the courage, it's too late.

But that's just my experience. Please listen to some people who are more mature in these matters than me!

Thanks for the advice rouge hug but i think its just too soon now.. she just broke up with her boyfriend less than a week ago..
on the other hand, when they were together even, we spent a lot of time together, talking, wed cook for each other, tell each other our problems and those of the world, weve even talked about us in the past, cuz i forgot to mention that we did hook up when we first met, but she put a stop to it cuz she still had a bf back home (that ended and bla bla bla, the rest is history) and how we both felt about what happened and why it happened.

AAARRRGGGH!!! i hate the complicated situations and indefinable feelings! mad2

Stickman I think you're right to hold off for a while. Your friendship could well have been the thing that gave her the strength to end the relationship knowing she had you around. If she feels about you as you do about her, waiting won't hurt, but if she doesn't feel that way (at the moment at least) you could hurt her and isolate her, or even send her running back to him.

But try not to become just someone she leans on, be a bit flirty with her - the least it can do is make her feel better about herself and at best she might look at you in a different light!

But it's so damn easy to read signs of hope that aren't there when you so badly want them to be there so.....

Teejay's got it EXACTLY right - make her think you're just that little bit unattainable and she'll be intrigued and interested - but don't overdo it or she'll think you just wanna be friends.

Confused? You only have to love us - we have to live with ourselves 24/7!!!! ubblol ubblove

Good luck - it might take awhile, but sounds like she's worth it hug

hello!
I never lost a friendship due to the reason I made a relationship with someone.People who do that are kids:p If you explain to her the situation as you feel it and not as you want her to believe I think that nothing will be ruined wink Just make sure you are taking her inside your feelings and not in a place called "thats how I want her to see me"
When someone breaks up it is a really siily period to start another relationship, especially for girls.Girls need to feel safe and happy and protected ubbangel When their relationship ends they just want to have something to grab.Like monkeys rolleyes it is ok!She might choose to be with you but there is a posibility that she is in love with him.This means that she is going to compare you two, and you will gonna lose because love is blind...Just try to be there for her.If she is not in love with him then she might want you just for not being alone(the monkey issue) That my friend is cruel frown
I say let time pass be there for her as a very good friend and when you choose to talk to her just be honest.By beeing near to her you will win 2 things Firstly you will know if she wants him if she wants anyone else and why does she want anyone else(monkey or love) Then you will see if you are really in love with her and the reasons why are you in love.
Just let time pass for now.You can msn me if you want me to help:)
kisses

hey thanks guys.. hug

psycho tronic that is some really good advice (monkey and love) i am close enough to her to know that she does still like him but that she thinks she made the right choice, and i think that her feelings for him will subside eventually.. she also told me she needs someone who will help her when she has a problem or is feeling lonely (which he didnt do and i do all the time) but she never hints at the fact that i am that person.. its so confusing, cuz i dont know whether i should point that out to her... although shes not stupid and probly has figured that out herself by now..

for now i think ill just let it slide for a while.. give her some time and room to think and become comfortable and wait till shes able to stand on both legs again..

I have only skim read the posts so sorry if someone has already said this, but i think u need to feel free within a relationship, not a freedom that means going off with other people, but a freedom to be true. I think that being in a relationship is like 2 people walking on seperate paths that go side by side and head in the same direction. When one person keeps stepping onto the other persons path it becomes cramped and not so easy to walk freely. Bit of an odd explaination but i like it! I find it very hard when people step onto my path so struggle with alot of relationships. Im always being told im too independent! Argh!!! ubbrollsmile

i found the one i love more than anyone, someone who felt like family to me.

i thought i was kind of addicted to relationships, but no one else will ever come close to him, i am miserable without him. Why can't i be happy on my own? i don['t know, but i know it;s not just about being secure in a relationship.

it's so hard being apart from someone you love so much.

I had a dream that my friend had a
strong-bad pop up book,
it was the book of my dreams.

Tao Star I feel for you - it's taken me 4 long years to get over what you're going thru, and during that time I did the 'monkey' bit by falling for wholly inappropriate people. I can see now it was a dual need - both to love someone and give/show that love and also to receive affection and feel valued as a person when the 1 person I thought would be forever rejected me.

You WILL be happy on your own, stick with it it's worth it - I've never in all my *bleugh* years felt as happy and at ease with myself as i do now and I'm still growing and learning. I'm sure it won't take you as long as it took me - have some hugs to help you thru hug hug2 hug2

i'm young. i've only had two girlfriends and i still talk to both of them.
i've loved being single and care free but at the same time there is one girl i really like and although i am normally happy by myself i find i'm normally happier with her.
relationships can be a blessing and a curse depending on what sort of relationship it is. this girl i'm friends with and have know for years, we can talk about this topic and wont hate each other and i find thats what makes a good relaitonship.

even though that sounds corny and cliche, the best relationship is to have a friend

there's a reason why it's a cliche - cos it's true! I'm holding out for a friend to fall in love with, not some random person I don't know but who's good in bed. In the meantime i've got friends who i love but I'm not in love with and that works for me. hug

hugs for us all - we're worth it!

Also in love with the idea of being in love. I've had a few experiences along those lines, and the one was really hard to remove from my life because she refused to loose that dream. She believed that if she clung to it for long enough, went through all the motions, then love would automatically follow. Not true.

I seem to find myself getting into my best relationships (all 2 of them out of too many) by complete accident, when I'm not looking for one or am making a new friend and it just surprisingly evolves in a different direction.

Great sex on top of that is just a big bonus. biggrin

I have more trouble deciding whether to take a risk, follow my feeling, instead of sitting down, thinking it through, and letting my sensible side come out. Trying to do that right now....

I'm always fighting with myself, saying yes, we could be happy together, and no, it might hurt when it ends. I'm always weighing out the good and evils of it, thinking too far in the future and letting my imagination take over. The problem is that the relationship in question would be a long-distance, which is why my imagination has the time to.... imagine things.

*sigh* why is something that sould be so gut-feeling be so hard?

That's a toughie Bobo hug

But should it be gut-feeling? I know i don't trust mine anymore - at best it's mis-leading (good sex = love?) and at worst it's downright wrong (in love with being in love) - or maybe I'm just not listening to it right. Hmmm, reckon that's it - the things that caused the problems and pain were there all along, I just chose to ignore them.

So listen to your guts hun - if there's a nagging doubt now, it's there to protect you hug

Woohoo to Lightning!! we're not cynics and it's so nice to hear you met someone. Good way to put it too...

hope for us all boys & girls! ubblove

ubblol ubblol times I've wished to rid of the cursed organ! Told my mum when i was 17 that i wished i was thick cos then I'd be content with my lot - still think that now. I think too much, talk too much and worry too much!

whatever you decide you got a 50% chance of it being right and a good chance of having some fun along the way if it's the wrong one, so...... ubbrollsmile

I am not pretty I am not a good person I am not mature, I have lost myself.I do not trust me.In the last 3 years every f....ing day i am a defferent person,I made friends I made relationship I lost some of them I kept others.The truth is that I would be happy If I could find someone to make me feel i am a good person.
This period I know that my ex is having a very very bad time.He is so unhappy because we are not together.The guy I sleep with.... I cannot have sex with him.I do not enjoy it.I prefere to sleep or to kiss him or play with him.But though I find him very sexy I cannot f.... him.We have done it 2 times only and it was a disaster ubblol After all I still like him but only for some pure little things. I think I cannot do sex with him because I do not feel for him and because my ex boyfriend is having a very hard time.I love him more than enything but i feel pressure.He is bad and he makes me feel worst because I am the reason he is so sad:(
What can I do??? Do you think I could stop seeing the other guy? And have some time all alone???? I think I am getting psycho.I am gonna be mad!!!HELP!!!

i thought i had this figured out...and i still kinda do. being single and free is freakin great. but finding someone that you can be with everyday for the rest of your life is a whole nother story. i found her...well. i dont know exactly, but this girl is freaking amazing! and its the worst timing...in other words she just wants to be friends...even though she has stong feelings for me. whatever...for her...i can wait. but its not like im not still looking. as stupid as that might sound. ive had a lot of "flavors of the week"...she was afraid that she was one. but i met her over a month ago and still get all giddy every time i see her. but she still has it suck in her head that im going to drop her when the next thing comes along...thus is why she wants to be friends and thus is why im still looking...to see if i find reason to drop her. no one compairs to her. my ex of for years was this shy cute girl that i wanted to protect and shelter, but under she had this thing about her that she was very outspoken, just never showed it. this new girl is everything that my ex wanted to be and more. she isnt afriad to be a bitch to someone if they cross her...things like that. i dont know, im weird...i like that. she is very low maintenice too....anyways. im being bored and stuck at home due to my car wreck and really wishing she would come hang out with me now. damn...

life sucks...then ya die. hehe

that sounds both familiar and really different dj. the girl i like i've know for ages and the worst thing for me was telling her i liked her because i was afraid that she'd stop talking to me but she didnt and we're still really good friends. i guess its hard to give advie on it but you just have to keep trying without forcing it onto them.



Psycotronic, i think you should definatly take a break from both of them, maybe its just me but i find that being close to people, in a sexual way, and trying to think straight just doesnt work, try and take a break from them both and consider it. this probably wont really help cause i dont know all the complications but being with them doesnt seem to be doing anyone any favours so............
