One day when you least expect it girl ........... Poof !

You have met a knight in shining armour or ......shining Ford Pick-up

Yep...that's what happened to me. I stopped looking and then one day I found the man of my dreams driving a gorgeous lifted Powestroke. Funny the way things work out....

But, I'm glad for you...take each new day as it it and enjoy yourself.

You will have to be firm in your resolve, but don't call him and the next time he calls you, let him know in no uncertain terms that you have better things to do with your time. At some point you will find a nice guy who drives a Ford truck and a Mustang, preferably a convertible, and has a fully functioning brain. -TD

There wasn't a tear in that beer I suspect???

I'm about fed up with the girl I'm with. Shes always on the computer when I am and she never talks to me, and jumps my case when I ask her what's on her mind to talk about and she says nothing. She lives 4 hours from here. I'm about ready to take the pocket knife out and cut this string between us.

I think the majority of people have gone through a similar situation. I was traumatized by my emotionally damaging marriage. But when I came out of it, I was a stronger and less naive person. You need to get control over your feelings, and use your head. Be confident and fearless, and say what your feeling and what your thinking. Be ready to hear the good and the bad. And always keep foremost in your mind that you are a special person, and the guy that wants to hook up with you better be deserving of you.
Sorry guys if I seem a bit b-ish. I'm far from being a man hater.

D-ranged, get rid of the guy, hang in there, and good luck girl!

Robin

Well there's your problem right there. He has delusions of grandeur and is a bad communicator and afraid of confrontation, hence the fast car to get away from whatever situation he too stinkin yella bellied to deal with in the first place. If he were a real man (like, well, me) he'd be driving a beat up old 3/4 ton with a 6.9 that's so sick and tired it can't even get out of its own way, so I have no choice but to deal with what ever crap I've gotten myself into this time.

this may be hard to believe, but most of the time, us guys have no idea what we really want. the problem here is he is not strong enough to tell you that.(i've been that guy before) just know, that relationships are not supposed to be one sided like that, and now you have a first hand way of telling if that's going on. i hope that if you drive a long distance to see someone, and they dont treat you like the most special person in the world, that you will get in your car and not look back.
i will apologize on behalf of this man and say, we should be more honest about how we are feeling.
not to make excuses, but it's really hard to say things that you know might make a girl cry.

To MW95, it wasn't a tear in my beer thing I was just empty and it was nearing half past beer 30. I had already adopted the concept of MOVEON so it didn't bother me a bit. What got me was that her new boyfriend was there with her when she came up to say hi and then confornted me later about being a jerk and making her cry. I just told him wait a while, you'll understand.

To D-Ranged: I'm a nice guy with a fully functioning brain and I drive a nice Ford truck like Tiger was talking about, but sorry no Mustang yet.
