the spilling your guts thread
If only they made wrenches to fix relationships.
Seriously though....
Find a buddy to hang out for awhile, to take your mind off of it. The kind of buddy who, when you mention HER name again or get THAT look on your face will say "Forget about, let's have another beer (Not advocating alcohol use as a solution) You know the guy. Everyone has that friend, go find him, and move on.
Everything that I ever had, I lost 20 hours and 27 minutes ago.

Lookit - you might be making a bi-level miscalculation here;
This is my way of looking at it -
1) You're not gonna die if you don't "score" on a regular basis. You will contract one or more social diseases if you look at it in those terms however.
2) You cannot make a life with a member of the other sex who is not first of all a friend and confidant. Therefore, the more you share and the more you support eachother on a daily basis, the more likely a relationship will last.
3) Fast cars break, exotic ones are expensive to maintain, and abused ones are more likely to fall apart - significant others are just like that. You need to decide what kind of maintenance you are willing to provide before you bring one home...
4) If you have a lot more car or truck than you are capable of dealing with - it will get away from you sooner or later. THAT holds true with people also.
5) You can't beat yourself up all the time. I love my F-100 because it has been through hell, it has a heart of gold, and she loves to play in the MUD. But I love my F-250 even more: Same body style, much stronger, less demanding on the wallet, it rides like a dream, is comfortable as can be, it will go anywhere I want to take it, and the possibilities are endless. PROVIDED I take decent care of her.
Go figure...
LOSE the idea that you absolutely must have a girlfriend.
Lose the idea that a "GIRLFRIEND" is someone you have to "DATE", "IMPRESS", "SPEND MONEY ON", and all of those "IDEAL MOMENT" kinds of things....
They're all pure fantasy....
Look for Ladies you can talk with, that are a load of fun to be around, that don't give a dang about getting greasy and can laugh when stupid stuff happens that messes one of you up! Now THAT'S a GIRL...
And so many men would kill to find one like that if you think about it. They ARE the best...
1) Its definetly not about scoring. You get the hint now I presume. Thats not what I look for in a relationship.
2) We were friends. I trusted her with everything.
3) She was a dependable domestic. 19 years old, but started every morning.
4) Best connotation to that one: 2 seater 83 Ranger, 4 banger, manual transmission (room for one, goes really slow, and likes to hold hands)
5) She likes my 79 F150 as much/more than I do.
Look for Ladies you can talk with, that are a load of fun to be around, that don't give a dang about getting greasy and can laugh when stupid stuff happens that messes one of you up! Now THAT'S a GIRL... How do you know Beke, because thats her.

IF AND ONLY IF YOU GET OFF YOUR **** AND FIX THINGS!
- Your ball...
PS: You may have to swallow a lot of ego in the process.
PPS: If she truly is who you say she is, she will respect that - more than anything on earth that you could do.
PPPS: DON'T DELAY!!!

Thanks wolf, who says you can't trust a wolf to hold your steak, thats ridiculous.
You wanna talk to her?
I don't know how to arrange that, maybe if you have MSN Messenger. I could do that.
Well, since I have no ego, and its night time, I am going to have to eat my crow tomorrow, i will take it extra rare with some A1 please.
I jumped the gun on this one, thanks to all of you FTE'ers and their wonderful advice, except the Cheese guy, I don't want to date other girls, I never have. Its foreign to me. Don't get me wrong, I do like girls, but I don't (can't) move from relationship to relationship on a weekly basis.
I read a story about a guy that took something the wrong way, from his girl and killed himself. I am not quite that unstable.
There is something about this girl that makes me feel so good inside, the kind of thing that makes my day just great even if its not supposed to be.
I would like to offer a word of hope for all people out there. Remember to think things through. I know thats not always possible, but in the very least, look at your options before you do something stupid. We all make mistakes, and if yours is troubling I hope that this has proven to you that other people can help. Don't be afraid to ask, FTE is completely anonymous.
But it sounds like your doing better. Hang in there, it can only go uphill from here.
