I usually don't post here, but I could use some comfort. I've liked the same girl for over two years, but promised myself I wouldn't ask her out until I could drive. Now, a week before my driver's test, I find out she's already been dating someone for a couple months. So, you know. Words of solace would be appreciated.

Godot · 03-12-2007, 02:36 PM

Well, I'm sorry. But why did you wait out so long?

Prince Toad · 03-12-2007, 02:40 PM

Well, back in the day I said that it was stupid to date someone before you can drive. So I promised myself that I wouldn't date anyone until I got my license, so as to avoid being a hypocrite. This proved to be a poor decision, as you can see. So it's really nobody's fault but my own. But it still completely sucks and I'm sad.

t3hDarkness · 03-12-2007, 02:41 PM

EDIT: I'm too slow.

Bomby · 03-13-2007, 10:34 PM

Its nothing that a little Stylistics can't help. Try "Hurry Up This Way Again."

Eagle Eye · 03-13-2007, 10:44 PM

That sucks PT, I know about waiting too long.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Bomby · 03-13-2007, 10:46 PM

Same here. (She ended up pregnant.

)

Not that I'm saying the girl you're after will end up pregnant! But it could be worse.

ZeldaGirl · 03-13-2007, 10:51 PM

I completely understand your philosophy, if it's any consolation - it makes sense to wait until you can drive, because then, you can actually date. I totally get it. And I'm sorry things didn't work out.

Yeah, it's a good philosophy, but don't worry, 95% of guys are *******s/irresponsible/incapable of treating a woman right, so there's a good chance she'll be single soon.

Prince Toad · 03-14-2007, 06:05 PM

Thanks, everyone. Fortunately she doesn't seem too scared of me now even though I sort of said I liked her, and we're having normal conversations. So I've just got to wait it out or find someone else. I'm holding up pretty well, actually, even though it makes me sad to think about them together. But... yeah, thanks for your support.

t3hDarkness · 03-14-2007, 06:09 PM

Cool, welcome back into the (dis)functional world.

Eagle Eye · 03-14-2007, 06:22 PM

It hurts/sucks, but the only way to feel better is to move on, and should the opportunity arise in the future, take it.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 03-14-2007, 07:52 PM

Sorry to hear you had a hard time, PT. Never know what your future will hold, though, so good luck finding someone special. *hug*

...I'm married and I still don't have my licence. Some manner of driving phobia/anxiety makes it hard for me to drive on the roads. I have always been fine to drive around on a farm (though I haven't in a long while), it's just the prospect of having so many things around to potentially crash into that makes me weird. >_<

Prince Toad · 03-14-2007, 08:46 PM

Well, you met your husband in a way that doesn't involve driving around for dates and such. Unless maybe he came down and took you places, I don't know. But for a high school kid like me, it's pretty important.

That's not necessarily true, it's certainly still feasible to have a relationship if the two don't drive, you'd have to work harder at it of course, but it's do-able.

Bomby · 03-15-2007, 02:22 AM

^ Exactly. How do you think people dated in the 1800's and earlier?

It's still do-able, yes. I did not mean to imply that it wasn't. I don't really know how to explain my other thoughts in a concise manner... maybe I'll expand later when I think of what I'm trying to say.

I figured they got the horse goin', and picked her up while shootin' up som' Injuns.....

I can't even keep a straight face looking at that......

But I agree with you philosophy, PT. I just wouldn't be able to keep true to it.

Prince Toad · 03-15-2007, 08:29 PM

It wasn't that hard to follow. It just turned out to be a bad idea.
