Are you in a relationship?

[dogenzakaminion]

Yeah, me and my girlfriend have been together for over two years. Going great

 

[Nimcha]

Yup, our two year anniversary was a week and a half ago.

Hey, mine too! Let's do an internet high five!

ever tried a convention? I've gone to a few and there always seems to be a lot of single people going in and a lot fewer singels leaving the convention but a hell of a lot more couples.

I had a friend who met his current girlfriend in the wating line for the Wii console release event at the local gaming store.

point is, there are plenty of irl social events for "geek stuff" and there is usually plenty of singles of both genders and every sexual orientation.

so snap out of it! silly excuses are silly! and you know it *angry glare*

Yeah I guess that's the problem; there ain't really any conventions here. I once went to the MCM Expo, but that's in London and I have baaaad experiences with falling for a foreign girl. Geek culture is so underrepresented in this country, or it's incredibly underground as a D&D dude told me during the MCM Expo.

The only geeky Dutch conventions I've heard of were anime conventions, and I'm really not into anime and it's associated culture.

I hear ya man... The middle of Kansas doesn't really offer anything in the way of geeky/nerdy culture. The only thing this area has is ONE, count it, ONE anime convention a year, and it's held in a relatively small hotel, so that gives you the idea of how many people they expect will come (it also happens to be during summer finals week, fml). My college is worse, given that the male-to-female ratio is about 5:1, while very few of those actually have (or at least show) geeky/nerdy interests, and that there are absolutely no clubs devoted to my kind of demographic. It seems nearly everything is going against me to find a relationship with someone that actually shares at least a bit of the interests I have.

hitting 5 years this monday I cant believe ive dated the same girl since I was 16 lol

 

[Magicmad5511]

I feel like a wet blanket after reading these posts but I am 17 and have never been in a relationship. I have fancied people but they then moved away and no, not because they found out(at least I hope for my sanity they didn't. Hven't fancied anyone since or at least I haven't acknowledged it yet. Bit cynical about it now.

 

[staika]

Not currently but since it's summer now I'll try to fix that soon.

So No-one in your uni likes the same music/art/movies hell a LOT of students are closet geeks in their own way via movies everyone has nerdy tendencies if anything you could try your hand at other interests/booze (booze can help with the interests :3) but also people are more alike then they realise everywhere.

these are all from last year from a quick skimming search for conventions in NL, but I'm sure that if you tried giving it more than 5 min and try to keep an eye out at dutch sci-fi forums and such, you'll find somthing, one of the conventions mentioned in the links above seemed pretty big too.

GL, and go find yourself a nice, geeky, dutch girlfriend/boyfriend (whatever floats you boat) ^_^

Well dang, Wikipedia said there were no big conventions in Holland. The Breda Stripbeurs and TerraCon look like they're fun to check out, shame there are no gaming conventions but eh. Shame the 2011 editions have already past, I hope they're annual or something. That and I still need a wingman.

But I wonder, how on earth do you really meet girls during a convention like that? I mean sure, during the MCM there were plenty about, but honestly, I wouldn't know how to really make contact with them in such an environment.

6 months today with le boyfriend I love him to bits, but am a bit flighty and don't know if we're going to last when I move 150 miles away in a few days time :/
Cross bridges when you come to them! And if you think you're going to smash into the bridge, flee for your life!

 

[riverand]

Married for three years this August, but we were together starting way back in 1997. We be old and happy

 

[J-dog42]

I've been with my girlfriend for six years and one month. It's scary when I put that in words. A good scary though.

 

[let's rock]

No. Used to be, but not right now.

 

[Twilight.falls]

No. I've mused over the thought of being in a relationship, but it just hasn't happened yet.
I've heard some say that it just happens on it's own.
We shall see.

 

[Dango]

Unfortunately, no, I am not.

 

[OliverTwist72]

If you had asked me 3 days ago, I would have said yes. =/

 

[NormalityImpaired]

no. I have a real problem with trusting most girls, unfortunately all it takes is for me to notice one dishonest thing she does and from then on i put a waist high "wall" between us.

 

[Kyle Roberts]

Yep and she is the best girl i've ever met.

 

[DeepComet5581]

I'm close to one. I know the girl I'm talking to likes ,me but I'm not sure if I want a girlfriend. I'm 16 only had 2, and I greatly enjoy being single, and I don't want to rub anything in, but I have options. All you really need is confidence, and having a pretty face doesn't hurt.

"Only 2" he says...

I'm 18 going on 19 and am no closer to getting my first so... screw it.

OP: I've been so unlucky with women who I like that my personal mantra has changed to:

Apparently, one of my friends knows someone who likes me, but considering they won't tell me who it is I don't really believe them. At all.

I know only two, what can I say, I'm still a geek

You make that sound like I'M the one who's better off.

What the single lads on here have to hope for is that Ardna Xela is single

 

[IcyEvils]

Yep, 10 months next tuesday. I love her to bits! However, for other couples: Take my advice and KEEP YOUR INDIVIDUALITY! Be yourself and never compromise! And share your time EQUALLY between the girl/boy and your friends! Works out much better for the couple in the long run
