Luck....

[Paragon Fury]

or rather, my abosolue lack of it.

In particular, my ability to seeming only like or want to ask out women who already have boyfriends, and in two cases, girlfriends.

And I'm not kiiding either. Literally every single girl I've ever been interested in already has/had a significant other. Which always places any potenial relationship in the strictly "Awkward Friendship" slot. Like today, when the girl who lives down the hall from me came back from the homecoming game - I'd been thinking about asking her out for quite some time. I saw her and said "Hi"....and then her big, manly, grate-cheese-on-his-abs boyfriend came in, fresh from his impressive football win.

Even worse, I almost never find out until after I'm already interested. Which makes it even worse.

Its' actually kind of sad and depressing.

I think I'm just bad at this.

A few?

It's happened like 27 times. 28 actually, if I count today....

It's okay man. Luck isn't a factor in everything you do!

Don't lose hope, sooner or later, luck always turns your way! Don't give up on her either, for all you know her boyfriend is cheating on her, she finds him doing the dirty deed, and you get to comfort her?

You should stop breaking mirrors and going under ladders. Or you could keep up your relationship and move in when they break up. In a less vultur-y manner than what I described of course...

LOL! So you came the escapist forums for what? a sympathetic ear? It's your own fault! Make your own luck! Ask the girl out anyway! Just cuz shes got a man doesnt mean that she isnt planning other possibilities! God, some people say that they hate the games that people play but as gamers, we should be better at the game than all the football jocks of the world! Just learn the rules and learn to play men and women just as well as you do your fantasy character! LOL!

If it makes you feel any better, he'll probably be making your fries in about five years.

I think this might be the worst sort of advice. It's generally considered a faux-pas to ask out someone who's already involved with another.
...LOL!

Fascinating tale old bean.

Seriously, dude. That's just what the dating game is, stop whining.

Well you cant give up cos of a few bad luck moments. Keep at it, bad luck runs out just like good luck. So yea, Good luck!

No it doesn't.
The universe hates every single one of us.

But really, dude, maybe you should just make a giant relationship table or something.

Wow, are you me?

A girl I liked for awhile was at a party with me last night with her boyfrined. So for some reason I was on her lap and declared my love for her and everything. Her boyfriend was canny tho so I don't think he minded...

Anyway she hugged me like 12 times, out of friendship I believe, and she didn't believe what I said cos of said drunkenness.. gonna make for great times on Monday..

I know its a game. But some forgot to include the instruction manual, burned the strategy guides, and gave all the other players no_clip, wall_see and unlimited_ammo.

 

[azurawolf]

Just don't give up. If I had given up everytime I spoke to a guy that didn't want to be with me, I would have given up a long time ago.

Fate works in mysterious ways. Gotta give it time.

Do you seriously think you're the only one with these problems? Grow the fuck up and realize that no girl is going to jump in your lap and start grinding you like a four-star hooker. Dating is painful, love is hard, and the answers to life aren't in the back of the book. Stop whining, buck up, and keep trying, because your only other option is to rely on Righty for sexual gratification and your mother for social acceptance.

Like xmetatr0nx said, stay positive. All that means is that by the law of averages, you're bound to find someone soon.

You sound angry. And projecting a bit.

I never said I expected any of that. At most, I just wished someone putting cheese graters in my path.
