Poll: Do you have a girlfriend?

[arsenicCatnip]

I dated a couple girls. Didn't work out so well. Chicks are crazy.

As of right now, though, I am in a very happy (albeit long-distance) relationship with an amazing guy.

 

[XzarTheMad]

I have a girl, going on almost six years now. I'm 20.

 

[Mcupobob]

had only 2, was with this girl for a week and well that was just uhh like a prostate exam. My recent one is someone I met online got know and actully love everthing about her, going to get to see her in a couple of months.

17 for the record 18 in july.

I've just turned 14, and things are really awkward with a girl i really like. Any advice on making things less awkward?

You must be like water.

No, seriously. Shut up, stop trying to be the unique and beautiful little snowflake. If you really do feel that way about her be upfront. Worst thing that can happen is that she says no. If that's really so devastating for you its entirely possible that you're not ready. Do not go for the "be friends first, then take it further" approach. It can work, but typically that just leaves room for someone else to swoop in.

Remember- nice guys finish last here. Don't be the honorable gentleman. Most women understand that they have their pick of men. Its really easy for them to figure out who likes them enough but doesn't have the balls to ask them out.

Me personally? Never had. It's more a matter of me generally being disinterested in women. In high school literally none of them really interested me. The staggering majority were either already taken in one form or another, or more interested in how they could show off daddy's pay check if you catch my drift. I wasn't interested in playing their social games so I never tried.

Don't be a dick. He was just looking for advice. Your not gonna fit in the Escapist if you keep acting like such an asshat. And being a prick to women isn't a good idea under any circumstances. ESPECIALLY if your trying to ask them out.

I dont have a girlfriend right now but I am not too bothered about it. I decided that to be happy with myself I must find a woman who will not try and cause drama or mess with the inner workings of my life.

That is turning out to be a lonngggg quest!

 

[Keepitclean]

The only way for a nice guy to get a girl is after she has been hurt by said jerk and asshole bad enough for her to realize he is a jerk and/or asshole

No, dude. That's not a nice guy, that's a "Nice Guy." And we women run the hell away from those emotionally manipulative jerks, because you're not actually our friend and you don't actually care about us, you're just faking it in hopes of getting some when we're vulnerable.

*Sigh* At least "Nice Guys" get some. I am a genuine nice guy I guess (not a doormat though, it's a fine line). There have been several opportunities where I have helped emotionally hurt girls without trying to get in their pants.

Just last week I was gonna ask this girl out. Turns out she was depressed over something at the time, so I talked to her about it. I reckon she would have said yes but i didn't want to take adavntage.

"Thanks, you're like, the nicest guy ever" - The quote that sums up my life. Oh well at least I'm not an arsehole.

 

[Yokai]

No. Although this is not due to a dearth of intelligent, interesting, good-looking girls in the vicinity, but rather the fact than I am a spineless coward who can't work up the courage to ask one out.

Such is life.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Yeah, 3 months now.

Previous one lasted nearly 4 months and my first only for a few weeks.


(For the record I dumped them).

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Never had, and probably never will.

I'm going to assume you're a girl or a homosexual, otherwise thats just sad, not wanting a girlfriend.

 

[Squaseghost]

Nope. Never had one. I'm 19 for the record. Let the taunting - begin!!

Don't worry, I only beat you by a year.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

You said it brother! Pathetic spineless wimps need to stick together.

 

[thelatest3]

18, engaged =D

 

[Superbeast]

Yup, and I think she might be "the one"...

...No, not in the Matrix way.

I've had some really rough relationships in the past, and the last 3 years I have been pretty accepting that I wouldn't find anyone. Fortunately along came another shot at uni, and hitting 21 this year my priorities are (mentally, anyway) re-organising themselves.

I'm 27 - 28 in June - and my current girlfriend (and fiancée), whom I met last April, is also my first girlfriend. So I reckon you're safe from the taunting. ;-)

(Incidentally? She's a geek too. And she's in Africa, while I'm in the UK. Going down there next week to spend three or four months in ghastly sunny weather...)

I've addressed this (kind of) in the Relationship Problem thread, which is at the following link: ----> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.117161-Relationship-problem-thread?page=29#5534976

 

[chowfin27]

I'm currently in an international relationship which started out as a language exchange (and it still is)...I'm 19 by the way...XD

 

[Brackev]

Dating leads to a relationship. A relationship leads to love. Love leads to trust. Trust leads to betrail (ever seen a video game without it?). Betrail leads to hate. Hate leads to the dark side.
Moral of the story: Don't be an angry Anikin. Stay away from girls.

 

[Seydaman]

No, everyone my age is not mature enough.
Edit: I'm in middle school so they're also all retarded
Okay fine not EVERYONE but most people...):

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Yep. She's every bit the nerd I am and possibly even more (She went to freaking Otacon).
