Girl Trouble

I have to confess.
When I see a few eigenvalues, I turn into a standard normal deviate.


but, on the original question in this thread

Broken hearts are part of the growing process. Consider it proof that you care enough to get hurt. Sometimes, it is not requited, sometimes it is. Sometimes you're the heartbroken one, sometimes you're doing the heart-breaking. That's how it goes. When you're feeling it, it's an awful feeling. But... the funny thing is - when you find someone who is a better fit, you can't remember what the fuss was about with the other one(s). And when you do fall stupidly, totally, completely in love and it is reciprocated - the whole damn universe isn't big enough to hold your happiness. Of course, that too will pass, and if you are lucky, you'll be at a good place.

All of this is absolutely true - although you can't see it now.

And I am an expert.

'nother life lesson. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The more interesting distance involves a few unplanned detours, because in the end, it's not the destination, but the journey that's important.

True dat.

How do you feel about eigenvectors?

You're not going to get any actual help on the internet, and in reality you're probably not gonna get a lot of comfort either. People on the internet are kind of jerks. But good luck, man.

Well, the OP has learned that, however he might think, his experience is not fatal and has a known cure.
That is like getting shot in the butt by an arrow, not fatal, painful now with some loss of dignity but in later years he will be able to look back and laugh about it.
 
Yup, and distraction can be a great medicine for what ails you. Do you like football? If so, what is your favorite team? College or Pro? Ever join a fantasy football league?

Fantasy Football League = Fantasy Girlfriend
 
Gavjenks, are you married or single? Curious minds want to know!

Hah, I am neither married nor single.


I don't care about a freaking man card, or any of that stupid nonsense. I like this girl. And now, while she's going off living life all hunky-dory, I'm stuck crying myself to sleep. I'm falling to pieces here, folks. I don't have motivation to eat, to do school work.

Wait what? Is this a girl you've been pining over for a long time or something? I got the impression originally that it was just a cute cool girl you met a couple months ago. Mostly because she said she wanted to "get to know you" or whatever it was in the OP.

If you really want to give it another shot, you can. It's not like the world is going to end if you do. You just have to realize that it just probably won't work. If it is to work, though, one thing that's for sure is that you need to just treat it like you are casually pursuing a girlfriend, not "omigod i need to marry you and have 7 children" in the back of your head, because if you approach it like that you will absolutely fall flat on your face.

I still advise just moving on though anyway. Doesn't add up to very good chances OR likely to be a particularly fulfilling relationship from what I've read so far. And if you have only known her a couple months, then the acute sadness should pass pretty quickly. If there is some whole big long history or something, though, that might affect things.
 
Or you could always kidnapp her, it works in the movies...

IM KIDDING, Kidnapping people is BAD. So is stalking. Don't do that either, in all seriousness, buy a motorcyc....oh i already gave that advice :/

Dude, seriously though, ive been married and divorced I can tell you one thing, theres a LOT of women out there, who all act exactly the same, I can almost gauruntee if you look hard enough you will find someone who you SWEAR is related to her....
 
Part of the difficulty of relationships, is the fact that the person we may like has various aspects that reveal themselves at different times. First there is the persona that you think you see (make up partly by the person, and partly by your own baggage and projections), then there is the person's own projected persona, then there is the person revealed only to close friends/intimate partners, then there is the hidden person who is really known only to the person. The first challenge is always to get past the surface facade. Of course, you too, have a facade (even if you're not aware of it), which is partly created by you intentionally, and partly unintentionally, and partly by other people's projection of what/who you are. And all this makes connecting very difficult, until you start getting a sense of the person - what is the mask, and when does the face behind the mask get revealed?

As I said to one of my daughters - are you in love with the person you think they are, or the person you think they may become, or the person you really want them to be, or the actual person (warts, farting, bad odor, nosepicking, and all)?

Oh crap. Really?

Uh, ok. So, mishele, you know that "girl" who wants to sell you that lens for that great but not quite improbably great price and wants to meet tonight at that place? I won't be able to make it, so you might as well stay home too.
