RELATIONSHIPS: helping wizards deplete their mana since 2011

[Huff]

Hope you wore a condom!!1!

YOU CANT EAT INDIAN FOOD WITH A WOMAN YOU FOREVERALONE WIZNOOB

[Oblivion]

Well, this year's off to a great start.

She broke up with me.  :'(

[Bebpo]

I'm pretty surprised at the non-tester dudes here having sex with random one night stands unprotected.  You really wanna risk having HIV for life over a gamble?  I mean it's your life.  But as some living with a non-sexual life long disease, that scares the shit out of me. 

Fwiw I hate condoms too but I'd rather deal with them until in a committed clean relationship than the alternative risk.  Then again all my gfs have been against birth control so raw still is risky even then ;_;

[Huff]

I've always used protection for one night stands

but hetero HIV transfer is actually pretty rare (unless you're doing butt stuff)

[brawndolicious]

Was the problem the living situation?

Yeah, it's not even HIV they should worry about.

[Atramental]

I still feel great after my break up.

Wait you already broke up with this chick???

[Atramental]

Wait you already broke up with this chick???

That's what the last couple of pages were about.

I thought I was ready for a relationship but after 5 days of that shit I realized that I was far from ready. Plus, I have so much going for me, professionally speaking, at the moment. I don't need a relationship fucking that up.

I've never understood that kind of thinking. The people that are the best at what they do make time for other things in their life than work. Never known someone that was a success because they decided not to have a relationship

[I'm a Puppy!]

Mtw is a success. But he makes time for escorts, porn stars and the fine life

[Rahxephon91]

Or maybe you just didint connect with this girl Atra. I mean did you actually really like her? I really think it has more to do with that then you not being ready or anything.

You got what you wanted and there was nothing after that.

[demi]

I pulled all my cards from my ex out of my desk and read through them. I have: two Christmas cards, two Valentines Day cards, two anniversary cards, two birthday cards, and a congratulations card from when I finished grad school. So much love was packed into every sentence in every one of these cards.

Now I'm kind of crying. This was a mistake.

I know I should throw all of this away, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

@Ruzbeh/Dufus

Just be sure to prepare yourself mentally for the fact that you're going to experience a lot of failure & rejection at the very beginning.

But it does get easier to deal with after each passing month. 

[nudemacusers]

I got 3 kids and a waifu and still got time for work. Just be honest with yourself yo

[Madrun Badrun]

And most importantly, you have time for a Bore.  It was a good choice to put the last 4 up for adoption Nude. 

[Atramental]

I got 3 kids and a waifu and still got time for work. Just be honest with yourself yo

Yeah, but (one can assume ) you actually love your wife & kids.

Near the tail end of our brief relationship, I felt nothing for this girl except a very mild sense of gratitude. Any sense of infatuation or attachment was essentially gone after the 4th time we had sex.

DIDN'T YOU JUST CONFIRM HER AS YOUR GF ON FACEBOOK LIKE FOUR DAYS AGO

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

[Atramental]

Yes.

And I thought my initial fondness/slight infatuation for her would return but... it didn't. 

I truly am a selfish, egocentric, soulless bastard.

[Atramental]

Well, at least I feel more comfortable in my soulless husk than I did before.

[demi]

He experienced that same empty shame we get after busting that nut, but got someone else involved in it. What a piece of shit.

[Madrun Badrun]

Nah, this is normal behavior. 

[Oblivion]

Well, this year's off to a great start.

She broke up with me.  :'(

Yeah, that was a huge part, I'm sure. But I honestly feel she was trying to find some excuse to break up.

Real shame. She was pretty cool for the most part.

[toku]

Told you this would happen. It's good to get out the way now comes the real hard part. Finding that person that it doesn't feel soulless with.

[CatsCatsCats]

Yes.

Maybe, but mostly inexperienced and rash

Better to waste a week or two than a month. Or six months.

[nachobro]

calling five days a relationship and breaking up over text. i see nothing regarding human interaction was learned here.

  This dude.

It was a week-long experience with a girl you barely knew that would only be most generously described as a fling. It meant nothing other than being a milestone in your life. You shouldn't feel any remorse over it. This is just how dating works.

You don't get to act like you're some stone cold motherfucker when you have zero experience with real love and all the existential terror that comes with it. If don't use this as an excuse to give up and continue trying this whole dating thing, you'll eventually find out for yourself. 

[Joe Molotov]

So are you still friends with her? Have you called her to hang out and eat a pizza and go bowling?

[Himu]

DRESS YOUR BEST, YOUNG MAN.

Don't worry I'm also going to give you an intervention but my interventions have no dress codes.

I didn't put them up for adoption. They simply don't know I'm their dad.

[Rahxephon91]

Atra you're taking this way too seriously.

[Atramental]

Nah. I'm having fun/shit posting.

I like seeing everyone react to my absurdness.

I'd like to think my usage is a clear sign I'm not being 100% serious.

You had a coach review your texts lulz

And I am forever grateful to Shark for that.

Even if you don't feel ready for a real relationship yet, I'm just surprised that you're "done" having sex so quickly.

What's next in the Atra chapter?

I'm diving into art/illustration this year for my side hustle. 

Graphic design was a slight detour from my "true calling" in life. Also, it pays the bills/helps me not starve.

I love logo design and admire/appreciate good design when I see it.

But... as a job it can be a rather soul grinding experience.

nothing wrong with pump and dump if all parties are in on it... but you send very mixed/bad signals when you put yourself up as in a relationship when you really just want to nut in a rando every now and again... and again nothing wrong with that, i have friends who just want FWB's and they're fine with it, but they don't muddy the message... just be honest with yourself for your reasoning, it certainly isn't to do with needing to focus of your work/career lol. you just want to nut and run, no need to make it more significant than that. embrace it. just be straight with everyone you nut in.

also keep in mind that while most people are willing to start a relationship as FWB/NSA moooooooost of humanity in my experience eventually wants to do something deeper than that... so you need to be aware of that and either preempt it or be willing to go down that road... also this is why everyone was telling you to slow down. you moved from hookup to husband in like 2 days.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Experience has told me when you get Nudemacs to be serious about something other than fashion, you better listen son.

I told you! NO FWB. Don't even try it "we'll just fuck and have fun" game. No! It only ever ends in tragedy!

[Himu]

*hear, hear

have your english corrected by a foreigner brehs

Auto correct has made my spelling awful. I'm sorry.

[Rufus]

Don't apologize, it was just a dumb jab. Now I feel bad.

[Himu]

Living in an abusive household made me overly apologetic don't worry about it. I apologize like a Canadian. It's all good.

[PlayDat]

Man, I took a brutal rejection last night. I have a coworker who I'd always thought was pretty cute and awesome, and I'd always gotten an interested vibe from her. Not a particularly subtle one either.

After my breakup a month ago I thought I might see if I could make anything happen and started talking to her more. We were talking about some kind of open mic night she was going to play at this weekend. Then she asks if I want to come dancing with her and a friend that night. I was pretty excited and made up my mind that I'd ask her on a real date if an opportunity came up.

At the club, the vibe I was getting from her was different at first. I started to rethink things. But then she really opened up again, so I chalked it up to her being nervous. Lol. We danced for a bit, and then she wanted to buy me a drink at the bar. That seemed like a decent sign that things were a go, so I asked if I could take her out sometime. At this time I figured there was probably an 80-90% probability that she'd say yes.

The rejection was unceremonious and as efficient as an executioner's axe. I basically got one-shotted. She wasn't particularly mean about it, but she didn't really let me salvage anything either. So I walked upstairs, bummed a cigarette from a dude outside, then got a drink at the upstairs bar, and she came up and started talking to me like nothing had happened and we were buddies.

So I read this girl completely wrong for like a year. I guess she was very interested in me platonically. It's the kind of misread that makes me seriously doubt my ability to read anyone.

Gonna take a few days to pick myself back up. I'll get there, but damn.

You dodged the mess of a workplace romance and have a cool friend who'll buy drinks for you.  That's W in my book.

[Valkyrie]

^ Except he probably blew the friendship too, by asking her out.

She could've handled it far worse.
