<p>What's going on in your love life? Share crushes, breakup stories, long-distance relationships, chases, friend rivalries, Platonic friendships, mind games... everything.</p>
<p>are you THAT bored? lol</p>
<p>Considering I just wrote an entire paragraph in the other thread about why I like soda, I would say so, yes. I'm "working" on an essay.</p>
<p>I think he/she is trying to live vicariously! lol... no love OR "platonic" life of their own!</p>
<p>Well, this isn't really about my love life, since I haven't got one, but it does involve crushes, breakup stories, chases, friend rivalries, Platonic friendships, mind games, etc.</p>
<p>I can be really, really mean to people. I have no idea why. I'm normally really nice to people I don't know, people I'm only aquainted with, people I'm friends with, people I'm close to, just about every kind of person. But once someone really annoys/****es me off one too many times, it's like I can't go back, even though it's not really their fault. I feel really petty, but the pettiness feeling is in my head and I can't control my stomach turning whenever I think about certain people. </p>
<p>So that covers breakup stories, friend rivalries, Platonic friendships, mind games...</p>
<p>As for crushes and chases... hm, I have a broad definition of crush and a broad definition of chase, so I'll just say I had a crush, I don't anymore, and the chase is still going on and turning my life upside down.</p>
<p>I've let my love life die pretty much. In the beginning of the year, I was interested in someone, but I don't think he was interested in me. Then I became interested in someone else who reciprocated, but we didn't really click (it was just based on physical attraction), so I let it go. Ever since spring break, I've lost interest in the first guy, but now, he's actually showing "interest" in me (maybe I'm hallucinating, but we've been going out much more often). It frustrates me because I think he's doing it just to be nice, and if so, I definitely don't want him thinking that I still like him in that way because I don't any more. <em>sigh</em> I really want to get this straightened out before next year when were are supposed to be living with each other (albeit with a third person). It feels good not to care what he thinks about me anymore though... I'm no longer afraid to ask very incisive questions about religion, and I even showed him my room (which was so messy, he said he was disturbed by it).</p>
<p>Lately, however, there's this guy I regularly see at the gym with whom I've been having a staring match. I sometimes worry that I send the wrong message because I'd sometimes look away when I catch his eye. Then I would look at him and he'd look away. We would stare for a few seconds before one of us looks away. It's not even about physical attraction necessarily (neither of us is hot)... I just can't explain it, but my heart flutters whenever we do this. There are people out there who just catch your attention like no other, and he happens to be one of them. I really hope I'm not misreading the signs this time because either (a) people look at me because I look really young and precocious and people think it's OK to stare because doing so makes them feel powerful or (b) they actually find me attractive. It's usually A, unfortunately.</p>
<p>my love life is excruciatingly non existent. </p>
<p>however i do like TWO guys. reciprocal interest is difficult to judge. but it's a really good thing facebook doesn't enable page trackers.</p>
<p>the lack of a love life has driven me into depression. makes me suicidal sometimes. there's gotta be a way to either tone down my hormones or to completely detach myself from my emotions or to simply induce amnesia (to forget everything/one) and start a new life somewhere else.</p>
<p>college romance? </p>
<p>you mean,</p>
<p>college hook-ups?</p>
<p>Abso****inglutely nothing.</p>
<p>I don't have a 'love life'. </p>
<p>I'm focusing on my grades and my future career, not dating (after all, this is college). Besides, with the way laws and society both are now, it just doesn't pay for American men to date or get married.</p>

yes, distractions are good sometimes</p>
<p>but they are merely distractions</p>
<p>Had a girlfriend during HS that I dated up until a month into college. The whole long distance thing didn't work. Spent the next few months doing the whole partying and random hook-ups thing. Sure, its fun for awhile, the thrill of each challenge every weekend, but I met a girl I really liked and connected with. Just being with her convinced me that I would find a relationship quite a bit more rewarding than random girls every weekend that I would never see again. So we gave it a shot and now we've been dating for a year and a half and I couldn't imagine not being with her</p>
<p>woah, tony, friends, lovers, good times, aren't distractions, they're part of the ride. sure, grades and what not is the most important part of college, but not the only part. learning about yourself and other people is part of the college experience</p>

<p>Or maybe you need to buckle down and realize why you're paying X thousand dollars per semester to go there (unless your rich parents are paying for it for you, in which case, this wouldn't apply to you). I advocate having reliable friends you can depend on in college, not fickle 'romantic relationships'.</p>
<p>ch'. Like friendships are never fickle and romantic relationships are never reliable.</p>
<p>Just sayin'.</p>
