Your Romantic Advice

[campy]

It seems that KATG listeners are well schooled in the art of romance and have an unending supply of relationship advice. You all have tips, tricks, words of wisdom, experiences, some of you have some pretty smooth moves.

but...some of you are in need of advice, are facing break ups, broken hearts, relationships that have gone stale or are on the verge of utter collapse. Let us straighten you out...boost you up or set you up if we can ;-)

I was thinking that this thread could be a good place to post your relationship scores, misses, questions, best of's, worst evers, how to's, what ifs....

How about if I start things off with my ice breaker line that got me and my man together.

My man and I went to H.S together but we never hooked up. Neither one of us was interested in the other back then. 10 years after we graduated I saw him at the local gym, I had just joined up. I was immediately in love...like love at first sight if only I hadn't spent 5 years in H.S. with him... I walked up to him and said "Dave? HI...remember me from High School?" Dave" "Sure, Sarah right?, How are you?" Me "Holy Shit, you sure have been eating your wheaties" ***drool**

I wasn't shy about it...he was hot and I couldn't help myself.

I've got a story like yours. Sorta.

In 1989 or so i went on a double date with my friend Kathy, her cousin Maxine, and my pal Steve to a drive-in movie. I think it was Aliens 3 and we were all about 17-19. (BTW, a dark movie like aliens is horrible at a drive-in)
Maxine was in the front seat of my car and I was crushing on her but she fell asleep. Kathy and Steve got busy in my back seat. Nothing really happened after that.

Fast forward to 2004. I went to K's bday party at a bar and met M again.

At first I was all like, "hey I havent seen you in a long time, what are you doing, blahblahblah" so I got her number and told her I hate going to the movies by myself, wanna go? Eventually I asked her if she wanted to date.

We got married in 2006 and we now have 2 kids.

I'm just putting this placeholder here so one day I can tell the story of how I swept Jacey.ATX off her feet and convinced her to give up on her dreams of family & monogamy to join me on a world tour of decadence and debauchery involving the ladies of KATG.

My romantic advice: Unless you get the warm fuzzies like described above, don't get attached. Just fuck and vanish.

I concur.

My romance advice is to communicate! If you're clear about what you want, and you're honest with yourself and your partner, than even if it ends, or you get rejected, at least everybody involved knew what was on the table.

Yes. That's a step I left out. Let them know before that they do not need to know you after.

me too. I'm constructing my post.

EDIT: AND HERE IT COMES NOW....

I could write pages and pages of background info on our teenage relationship, our adult friendship, all of the life-changing things we've been through together, and everything we have in common, but instead, I'll make it short and sweet:
Is it creepy/stalkery that a) for 5 years, I've thought that my high school boyfriend, with whom I'm still long-distance close-friends, might be my soul-mate, b) I've never told him this, and continue to talk to him on the phone semi-regularly like nothing is weird, c) we're planning for me to come and visit him next summer, for a special event, and D) between now and then, I'm working my ass off to get as hot as humanly possible, so that I can a) seduce him, b) get him to impregnate me, and c) force him to marry me asap...??












Just kidding about that last part. I am actually pretty set on having a penetration-free trip, no matter what fireworks might ensue. But I'm not kidding about getting as hot as possible between now and then. I figure, it's what I can do to give us the best shot at starting something more-than-friends. And I know that, being that I haven't seen him in person in 3.5 years, there's a possibility that I could get off the plane and think, "No way. Wtf was I thinking?" and I'm okay with that. And I'm okay with it not working out because we just don't have the right chemistry. But I feel like I just HAVE TO KNOW, one way or the other, and I want to minimize the possibility that it won't work out because he's not attracted to me.

Okay, that's it. So, what do you think? Am I a creepy weirdo?

PS-- if it doesn't work out, I'm flying straight to AZ and starting the world tour with NAJ. He is "the goddamn love of my life," after all.

DO IT!

Do it to see whether the two of you will have the most amazing relationship with a sweet, semi creepy beginning story or so that you will never look back and regret not giving it a try.

Balls to the wall, woman. Good luck.

And if it does not work out, as one of the KATG ladies, I get to reap the benefits of your debauchery tour with NAJ. You will be smothered in love. Fuck yea, suck yea.
