No bites to your bait yet? What about that girl your mom was going to get you with?

Don't be too sure that it was easy to be forgotten. It might have taken a while. But young hearts do heal fast when there is a new object of affection. Yes, you could have some angry or jealous feelings on account of her happiness, but on the other hand I doubt they go very deep. You do not seem like a chronically angry or jealous person. So maybe it was momentary, but that is ok, it happens to us all. As for insignificant, you cannot blame something like that on her, that is something that grows within and ties into self esteem. I think as soon as you get a girl and are happy that will go away.

Well, probably...most things go away beneath a great affection, don't they?
As for that other girl, meh, she was eye candy, I think, but that was about it. I doubt anything would come out of that. My mom isn't very good at 'helping' things along :P |

Eye candy sounds good. Don't judge a girl by her cover. Try out some different ones even if you think they are not your type. At least give them a chance to prove they are not your type. But on the other hand I know you are looking and they don't seem to be there. How strange.
And yes, a great affection can cure a lot of things. But if the problems are fundamental they will come back until you (or whoever) deal with them. |

I have had good days the past couple of days, really good days; however, my love life is still non-existant and I'm getting impatiently impatient

Not so far as I know, and good days cause a lot of unexpectedly good things happened to me, i.e. ppl bought me a game, a good day at work, etc.

I work in an *old* mall, meaning the mall itself is old, and 75% of its daily populace (both the ones working in the mall and just shopping) are much older than me, and 20% happen to be lil' kids, the rest are a mix of middle aged ppls and some teenagers. It sucks -_-

Ask out every girl that looks like she's around your age. A good portion will say yes, and who knows what will happen with those.
I asked a girl out without realizing it. Then she ditched because 2 of my guy friends were there too, and she thought it was a date. Oops. |

Aggressiveness gets the girl. Confidence is key.

Were you asking if Wakkster was Ethan, or were you asking if I was aggressive?
I don't think I'm a very aggressive person when it comes to women. I'm a very "if only she wants to" person, not that I'm submissive or anything like that...well, I'm not sure, but I'm a very "think of her before yourself" guy. If you asked if I was aggressive with anything else, then I am for a lot of things. I.E. sports and games. Very aggressive. Competitive. Almost bossy, I would think, and unshamedly so if I am. I like to give orders, I think, or tell people what to do, or WORSE, to TEACH people when they don't need teaching. "Ok, did you check that? You know you need to cause--" Ren: "OMG, STFU ETHAN!" "I'm just saying--" foto: "Yeah, we know how to do that, man." "Right, but--" Ren: "~SHMACK!!!~" "x_x" Yeah, that was prolly what they were thinkinng, though they didn't say so in so many words. They usually just nod and agree, or answer my questions, etc. I do think that may be I am subconsciously aggressive, or that I have certain tendencies towards it. Like, I could bring up a subject repeatedly, or that I'd freely give good information benefitting what I would want someone to do, or say, or think. I.E. getting Trin to play EVE without outright saying "Play the game, you bastard!" Like, I'd bring up good points of how fun the game is over and over again, and they'd never be the same points, or I'd drop names of people playing and how much they're enjoying the game. With women, though, I think as long as she genuinely liked me I could go do whatever they wanted me to do. Go shopping with her, eat somewhere with her, give up breathing if she asked me to...although we might have issues when it came to gaming, I think. Does that answer the question? I don't know, I don't think so. I've yet to ever *ask* someone out, per se. Like, taking the iniative and doing so. But I guess that's part of just not having a *regular* avenue for women. Nor having the funds and access to go to *other* less regular avenues, i.e. clubs, bars, etc, etc, etc. On another note, I think this Liz thing is starting to drive me nuts. I'm starting to have thoughts of being some guy who gets really powerful or famous and then imagining what her reaction would be. I.E. I'm a hero who dies saving the planet, what would she think? "Oh, I knew him"? Or "Meh"? Or "Wow, I can't believe he did that, now I have to spend money to go to his funeral and meet his parents"? Or I'd have thoughts that I'm a hero and I save her and she doesn't recognize me at first, and then we find out her current boyfriend is actually this evil megalomaniac who planned to turn the human population of the world into mice...or rats. And that we'd go down memory lane, but nothing ever happens cause I...well, die saving the planet again. Other thoughts involve more realism, like, "If only she told me WHY she cut off contact with me I can MOVE ON", or "There has to be a reason for this; messed up MSN, messed up AIM, SOMETHING other than she doesn't want to see me anymore." Update: She hasn't responded to my comment, and I don't see an update on her journal, but she has commented on other ppls' journals recently. I think it might get too freaky/stalker-ish if I go around posting comments on her friends' LJ. |

You have the exact wrong mindset to get girls. Just so you know.

Don't listen to Wakka. Sorry for the ad hominem Wakka but really you are such a schmuck sometimes.
Ethan you have a nice attitude towards women and I am sure they would appreciate it. Everyone is different and you just have to be yourself that is the best way to be. Eventually something, some girl, will come along or you will find one somewhere. About your ex, just drop it. The fantasies are futile. I think she left because she needed to move on. Finding a comment from you might have been disconcerting. Don't concentrate on her journal, don't be a stalker, just leave her alone. She obviously needs this space from you or she would talk to you. So change your mindset and think of other things. That is my advice. |

Of course it is. But listen, she is a fantasy right now and you don't need a fantasy. You need a real girl and she just is not the one. Looking into this fantasy is an escape for you. Dreams that it could be a reality again are just that...and more than that, they keep you from concentrating on what you need to do to get someone in RL. I am not against online relationships by any means, however, this one ended and you have to move on. That is my cold hard truth to you. Anyhow you don't even need my truths, you are a very intelligent person who can figure these things out for yourself.
So tomorrow take a good look around the mall and see if there is anybody...Anybody...that might be a possible candidate. Just so long as she is older than 11 and younger than 40!!!! And cheer up. |

I'm sorry but I know for a fact the vast majority of women are not attracted to that type of personality. Instead of saying "Would you like to get a drink with me?" you need to say "Let's get a drink." Thrusting control at a woman right away is a sure path to rejection.
