    My rant of the day:

    Want pizza with flatmate. Shouldn't have cos had McDs and a bit of BK last night and supposed to be losing weight.

    Part II: Can't stop over-analysing whether this thing I have on Thursday with this guy is a kind of date or not - and do I ask him if it is? How annoying.

    We don't have this "date" thing here. You go out with someone/meet someone, but there is no official outspoken difference. And it makes it just easier imho. A good "hanging out" is better than a crappy "date", just make the best out of it, get him drunk and bone him.

    Anyway: About my situation. Yes, that's what I suppose too. I am actually not hurt at all, I was just a bit cynical/pessimistic in the post. Which might be a good or a bad thing. Good, because I can easily let go, if it doesn't work out, bad, because it was recently always easy for me to let go, which might mean that I just don't give a damn anymore, which prevents me from really going into a relationship with someone.

    I don't know. We'll see.

    she, "the problem is i am pretty unsure of a lot of things at the moment."

    "what do you mean?"

    "What I want, how I reach it, and how I handle the problems I have."

    this is what makes me think she's insecure.

    I shaved and got ready to leave for work, not wanting to go in. Just as I was leaving I get a call asking me if I wanted to come in or not. I want my beard back for tonight :(

    well, yea. The German word I was translating into "unsure" can mean insecure as well, according to the dictionary :p

    But how will a boyfriend be obstructive to her goals or the solution to her problems?

    I have a slight suspicion that she's insecure, because she hardly ever was in the situation she's now in, and is a bit afraid that things might change out of the daily routine of just working your ass off and chilling with a few episodes of a series on the computer in the evenings.

    Like some people are afraid of moving out or planning a huge holiday and going to a foreign country by themselves.

    And she's just shields herself with the 'problems' she has so she doesn't have to bother with it. Which is, very detrimental in it's own way, because then - even if she likes me back - a relationship would not really be possible/healthy.

    yikes, I guess there is just one way to find out.

    Well, you don't know what her problems are do you? And she hasn't tried to tell you so, I'm guessing they're private and the kind of things that would make someone worry about whether they were at the right time in their life or able to have a boyfriend, or she wouldn't have mentioned them.

    probably

    then again she said she wouldn't be unhappy if a situation occurs.

    You could try to find out, or just let her know that you don't mind if she has problems, as you aren't looking for someone perfect. And, that you're not perfect yourself.

    I liked your answer that being in a relationship ought to not to be a burden. Maybe if she's worried about things, being able to open up to you about them will mean that you two are in a place where you like and trust each other enough to have a go at a relationship.

    But then, maybe the first thing you should do is coax her into doing something fun with you. And then give her some reassurance afterwards that you're not expecting her to be perfect.

    Yes, I guess that's it. But then again I will just let this all approach me since telediagnoses and construing her words won't help here. The chat is just 2 days ago and I haven't met her since then.

    I will let you know how it panned out.

    Yeah, we don't really 'date' here either, so thanks, for kinda putting it simply for me. A good hanging out with no expectations.
    I will feel different again tomorrow ;)

    All I can say is don't bend over backwards for her, lay down your thoughts fully and if she doesn't want to try anything then don't weep over nothing lost IMO.

    :no: I sort of covered it up... my friend goes "Is it true he grows weed and has taken heroin?" and it is true... and my mum goes "WHAT?" and I went "Oh, people think he is on drugs... but he isn't..." Woops.

    Is he a bad influence on you, or can you be friends with him and not get taken down the same path?

    He goes to my school, I've known him for ages! Love him! He is an utter legend, so I'm still going to see him 5 days a week anyway even if it's not out of school.
    He is such a nice lad, and he isn't a bad influence at all.

    Everyone making decisions for me, thinking they know what's best for me. I've pretty much been told to either go to uni full-time or go part-time and get a job. How on earth I'm meant to do that with failing eyesight and shitty mental health, I don't know.

    Meanwhile, my brother can get away with doing nothing all day.

    My Virgin modem popped its cloggs which meant not internet access last week, and now my 21" TFT monitor has also gone. £400 new, and now just outside warranty. Bastaaaaaaaaard!

    And really, why do I bother? I'm working 10 weeks solid, 12 hours a night to pay for a house, then any prat can get a council house in a new development miles beyond my budget. WTF is wrong with this country?

    It's not that simple - a friend of mine has been waiting months to get rehoused. When it was time to move, the house was damp. He then had to wait another 3 months before moving.

    Piecesofme - I share your woes. Single since 1996 here, and effectively given up.
