Your Romance Success Stories

[Christars]

> Elementary school
> First crush on a girl
> Crush quickly, eh, "crushed" when she makes publicly fun of me for looking in her general direction
> Middle school
> Somehow, me and some girl always get to school like three quarters of an hour early, just spending time in the classroom chilling
> I finally gather my courage to confess
> She's like "that's nice". Doesn't actually reject me until a few days later
> High school
> Mad crush on this girl
> Just in passing I hear some people talking about how she was gloating about her wild sex with her boyfriend
> While wild sex isn't something I find morally repulsive, attempting to steal girlfriends IS. So I do my best to forget about her
> University
> This really cute girl suddenly talks to me out of nowhere during lecture break
> We get along well, meeting up and having a good time. She loves my piano playing
> I try to confess and am stopped since she "doesn't want to lose our friendship". Huh, took me 19 years to finally figure out what "friend zone" means.
> Strictly speaking I'm still gunning for her, but I think it's time I gave up

> Feels bad about writing this since this thread is supposed to be about "success stories". Though to my defense, I guess I've been successful insofar as having had a so perfect fail rate that I'm bound to get lucky sooner or later Always look at the bright side of rejection, or something?

I have suckish luck with romance but here is my latest one :

> meet girl through friend in college
> walk up to her one day and hug her
> ask her to join me and my friends as we go to the mall
> while we are picking up a friend , I kiss her
> we start dating , all is good in the beginning
> we fight a lot , her and most of my female friends don't get along (long story)
> currently fighting because I acted out (bi-polarity?) and well trying to weather it out

 

[Phlakes]

>Got home
>Opened some porn
>Wanked

And that's it for me.

Okay, not really. I have one success story out of my entire life, which of course ended in very not success, but gave me some good experience.

>Met girl in the summer after 4th grade
>Developed strange feelings in my chestal area
>Realized what those feelings were when my best friend and her started 5th grade dating and I was getting jealous
>Stuck with her for quite a long time, being that voice of reason after her many break ups
>In 8th grade, one of my friends found a note she was passing in class, talking about her feelings for me
>And then some things happened and I won't bore you, but she moved a while ago after getting all manipulative and into alcohol and things, and I got over it quickly and took a lot from the experience. Still a success, actually.

Success stories? What success stories?

Over time I've developed a personality like a rattlesnake to keep people AWAY form me.

I was only ever romantically interested in one girl and I (Being the moron I am) never made a definitive move. Right around the time I was starting to do so my family and I MOVED A THOUSAND MILES AWAY FROM HER!!

So I'll let you know if I ever see her again, but it's unlikely.

 

[Bernzz]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Romantic success is something that happens for other people, not me. I have never even come close to romantic success, and I never will. Women and I don't see eye-to-eye on the whole romance thing. They aren't attracted to me, I know precisely why and it's an unresolvable issue. So yeah, OP, good job with your gloating. You've managed to make at least one person feel like shit again for something that he can't change.

Oh, for the love of-

You again! Shoo! *broom*

I don't know how he keeps getting in here, really guys. Who left the door open?

Honestly dude, your posts on anything non-relationship related are usually really well thought out. But any time a relationship thread comes up, you just have to enter it and whine. If the OP made you feel like shit, maybe you shouldn't have entered the thread in the first place?

And sure, maybe you don't see eye-to-eye with women, but I'm sure that you whining about it isn't going to endear them to you.

Sorry about all that everyone, but god is he getting annoying.

OT:
> Hug some random girl because it's her last day at my school.
> Fast forward one year. Friend decides to set me up with some friend of hers at a different school.
> Get with someone else instead.
> She dumps me.
> Start liking this other girl at the different school.
> She confesses she likes me, I confess back.
> We start dating.
> One day suddenly realise that this girl is the very same girl that I hugged as she was leaving my school a year ago.
> Fast forward almost two years.
> Still together.

Success?

I don't think it works that way. I've had an even more significant fail rate - no woman has ever admitted to being attracted to me in any other sense but physical and even that's such a rare occurrence that these women can be safely stated to be statistical outliers or liars. There is absolutely no hope whatsoever about me getting lucky, so I reckon you're going to have to find somebody quickly rather than play the long game.

If there's one thing I ever learned from doing nerdy science all my life it's that there's no such thing as a zero per cent probability. Chin up; for all you know one of these "statistical outliers" of yours actually do like you, or might do so in the future.

And if not, just take a look at all the people who marry each year. I guarantee you, no matter how bad you think you might be, someone way worse in every way just got married

As for me, I know being rejected in the past won't actually make it less likely that further rejections happen - but the point is that I at least feel I learned a lot from these cases, and hopefully I'll be able to not perform the same mistakes again. So there's that.

>Meet girl in English class
>We quickly became very good friends
>Be in love for about 4 years
>be rejected 3 times
>She has a flings with both of my two best friends, and her manager
>Finally start dating
>HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY
>Think we be in love
>Find out she has been cheating on me on average once per week for two months
>Already suspected it
>Find out the only reason she dated me is because she knew I was losing hope and that I would most likely not want to be friends with her after high school.
>Never really liked me
>Just wanted to save the friendship
>Not sure if that's a good thing
>Am just a gullible sucker
>Has no self respect any more
>Or respect for her


>>Am I doing this right?

 

[Tonythion]

Well wasn't that awesome OP

and being totally serious, not sarcastic or anything! I just wanted to read people success stories really.

....so alone...OTL

WAIT WAIT

>Needs fags walks to store at three in the morning
>sees cute girl at store
>girl comes onto me, invites herself to my place
>play video games until she comes onto me more
>Very comfortable, so much so I accidentally fall asleep
>Wake up with nothing missing except my pride


Overall I think its a pretty good success story considering she could have stolen my stuff...and don't say anything about me falling asleep on her I had been awake for the past four days due to insomnia. OTL

> Met girl (Ellie) at sixth form college
> Became friends with girl
> Became best friends with girl
> Started to fancy her a year after meeting but she was with someone else
> Fast foward two years she breaks up with him (bad boyfriend)
> Take her out drinking, end up kissing
> Don't want to ask her out as going to a university many miles away
> Transfer to another university (for unrelated reasons)
> Realise that I'm closer and we are both single
> Ask her out on date, goes badly but get another chance
> Ask her out a few weeks later, she says yes
> Go out for a few months, propose.

Now about a year and a half later we are still together. We use every chance to spend time together that we can and in two years once she finishes her degree we will be married.

Why in the everloving fuck are we >greentexting on the Escapist.

I mean, honestly. It doesn't even change colour.

Next everyone will be >implying, there will be not one fucking avatar that is not George Costanza and everything will turn to shit.

 

[Flare Phoenix]

- Open up porn.
- Get awesome handjob from left hand.
- Weep openly.
- Rinse and Repeat.

In all seriousness, I used to want a girlfriend. I was always like "Why doesn't anyone love me?! I'll never be in a relationship?! WAHHHH!!!!!" until one day I realized the only reason I wanted a girlfriend was because society dictated that it was what's supposed to happen, and my female friend's promise that there was someone out there for me. I eventually realized that was complete lies, and moved on. Now I'm much happier to be by myself.

 

[EmzOLV]

I came in here to read some successful stories, and it was really pleasant and it also made me feel real bad but it was still awesome! It's nice to see that there are still... hopeful situations.

I would list some prior positive ones but lets face it, as I'm single and alone now, they weren't totally successful...

It's still nice to read your positive stories. Makes a nice change than all the negative posts! x

 

[krazykidd]

6th grade: Get a crush on a girl in a couple of my classes
7th grade: During rehearsal we have a hand slapping thing (or whatever it's called) She turns my left hand purple
8th grade: Talk to her every day, finally ask her out, It doesn't work out.
9th/10th grade Best friends
What, were you expecting something different? I'm still only 15

Haha you got friendzones.... Story of my life ... T_T

Captcha : together reekipl

 

[krazykidd]

-snip-
>Girl goes all red, looks down at her shoes and says "You can do do anything you like."
>Went in for the kiss
-snip-

WHAAAT? You ONLY kissed her? Oh my good how old are you? Nine?
Next time try something like that: "Anything? Really anything? Well, you know by chance I brought this nurse outfit along, would you kindly put it own and call me Doctor House?"

okay my story, don't know where to start so let's do it from the very beginning:

> fast forward
> very lonely and nerdy life till I was twenty
> first love, I was a complete utter moron - EPIC FAIL
> was meagerly successful but got dumped later on by an 9 years older woman.
> Mickey Rourke like falldown - EPIC FAIL 2.0
> heartbroken resigned believing never having girlfriend again.
> fast forward (years pass)
> chatting with a fellow student
> she is sending me witty flirtatious images of strawberries
> fast forward a week, first date
> Me Brought strawberries => Epic WIN
> City fair
> was wearing my special occasion self made t-shirt: "You can tell me about your problems, AFTER we had sex" => Epic WIN N°2
> gave me a confidence boost +50 by the way
> At some point while waking through the fair I just grabbed her hand and held it
> she didn't took it back. "Oh my god - I'm fainting - she likes it"
> fast foward
> kissing
> more strawberries
> fast foward (use your imagination)
> 6 years later she still has "stonking great tits" and all
> we probably sound like every average couple now

That reminds me, I should probably get hold of some strawberries soon.

Dude , i need that shirt ! That is a fucking holy grail you have there . I could use a +50 to confidence shirt!

Well, look at his profile. He openly admits to being a troll. I'm pretty sure he's kidding. In any case, he's easy to ignore.

Also, nice story. I like this thread.

OT: Mine is kind of ongoing, but so far it's pretty good.
>Be chronically single for entire life, due to tons of social awkwardness.
>Go to college, start to get a life.
>Sophomore year, be a reasonably attractive person.
>Hear about a Swing Dance Society on campus, think "what the hell", and give it a shot.
>Cute girl teaches me the basics.
>Get kind of interested in girl; look up Facebook profile out of curiosity, see that she is a massive geek, get really interested in girl.
>Try to ask her out in person, but the opportunity doesn't present itself. Get frustrated.
>She chats me up on Facebook, and I decide to just go for it.
>We're getting coffee this Friday. Also, she's pretty clearly into me (unless I'm totally mistaken), and according to her profile, has never had a boyfriend. We're similarly inexperienced, nerdy, and crazy.

So, yeah. A bit of a cliffhanger ending there, but I'm hoping there might be a future in this. Fingers crossed!

I met my girlfriend over the internet three years ago on a small roleplaying forum. We became INSTANT best friends and started dating two years ago (well, twenty-three months). She came to England six months ago so we could find out how well we worked together in person. We work so amazingly well together both online and off that we're seriously planning to get married when she gets back to England. She heads home to America two days from now (we're trying not to drown in tears right about now) and we're working towards her staying permanently when we're both 21 in January and can get a relationship visa for five years.
