there is no "the one" out there for you. there is no fate. there are just people, and some people work out and some don't and sometimes you think you're with the person you're going to marry and a long time later it doesn't work out and it sucks so bad
but you need to not set yourself up for failure by putting your expectations on a pedestal
You know, I totally realize that. I really do. But subconsciously, I still believe in fate and "the one" and the whole "pussy on a pedestal" (to quote The 40 Year Old Virgin) business.
Right now, while my head is clear, I think I know what to do about all this; how to alleviate my "situation", as it were. But it doesn't take long for my ego to slip into some deluded and hopeless mode of thought; the idea that it'll never happen. Even though I've had many opportunities present themselves to me in the past.
It's partly due to procrastination, and partly due to unrealistic expectations, just as you described.
I dunno why, Res, but lately you've been a really cool guy.
Tell you what, you make the list too, what was I thinking leaving you out?
Really Cool is the only state in which I am naturally occurring. You were probably thinking something along the lines of me being a furious dickwad of fury and venting about my problems in [chat] where my venting of problems does not belong.
Sol, you're not going to meet a person and immediately enter the eye-staring phase. There is no insta-love, you need to actually develop that level of affection and eventually love, then maintain it. The sucky thing about this is that, ya, like Mike said, there is no 'the one'. You will never find that single perfect person, the ying to your yang, your missing piece. What that does mean, though, is that you will be able to find someone imperfect who you will grow to love in the way you're talking about. Not only that, but because they aren't perfect, there will be conflict, and that conflict will keep things interesting. There will be obstacles and should you overcome them your relationship might be improved or weakened. Either way, there is no 'perfect person', there's just a lot of people, and if you put yourself out there you might be able to create something worthwhile, and when you get there it won't be settling.

I see this a lot, and it's unfortunately a self-sabotaging situation. The more you desire this, the less likely it is to happen. A much healthier attitude is to just take your days and months and the people you meet as they come, and be happy and confident and friendly. Cause man, deep down we're all people.
Train yourself to act like you would if you had just downed 4 shots 20 minutes ago and you start to realize the only thing stopping you from talking to a perfect stranger is your silly little made-up insecurities.
You shouldn't think too hard. Creativity's just one of those things that just *happens* when you're inspired by something. I would say that it's something that just happens when you're deeply passionate about something, be it a significant other, a hobby, an imaginary situation (which you could then make *interesting* by adding elements of science fiction or fantasy), or even a video game. What on earth would ever possess a person to write a video game guide?
I just want to lose myself in someone.
"Is it in yet?"
"I... I don't know! heavenly"
"Lose yourself in fuck!"
What's going on there?
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Man, that kind of thinking makes no sense if you really sit down and think about it, you know that, right?
Jemaine: It's just that I think she might be the one.
Bret: Sally?
Jemaine: Yeah.
Bret: What makes you think that?
Jemaine: You just know. When it happens to you you'll know.
Bret: You said Michelle was the one.
Jemaine: Yeah she's the one.
Bret: You said Claire was the one.
Jemaine: Yeah, she's another one.
Bret: So you get more than one one.
Jemaine: Some people are lucky, I've had a few ones.
Bret: So how many ones can you have?
Jemaine: Five.
Bret: How many have you had?
Jemaine: Three. How many have you had?
Bret: Just one. Just one.

The game is kind of rough till you get the feel for it. First enemy on hard killed me, with some practice I could take 2-3 of those guys down without getting it.
Aim for the limbs, specifically the arms on the basic enemy type.

I certainly figured that and that believing that if you have faith in invisible men it will not lead you to the correct path.

So hey, my idea of Dead Space is:
Horror Game, basically RE4 but in space, shock-scares but not real ones, storyline isn't that amazing, gameplay slightly repetitive, but pretty neat looking anyways. Buy when it hits $40.

I don't believe in The One.
The Many, perhaps.
Why would I share a forum post?
Word dude. I've been fucking around with mine lately cause job searching oh man what the shit doing this again? Yeah.
Really Cool is the only state in which I am naturally occurring. You were probably thinking something along the lines of me being a furious dickwad of fury and venting about my problems in [chat] where my venting of problems does not belong.
It's a trap.
No, seriously, it's a goddamn trap.
But not by much cus we're trying to stay positive here.
Ramius said if it doesn't get used (like, less than 50 clicks a day/week/I forget) then he'd take it away.
but basically it's here to stay
like inline youtube and that stupid option is still not working but I guess that's not really his fault it's ab ug
anyway you can use adblock to get rid of the share thing
I don't think I've ever linked at thread here to a person that doesn't post here. It would be weird
At sucking!
Oh-ho!
Train yourself to act like you would if you had just downed 4 shots 20 minutes ago and you start to realize the only thing stopping you from talking to a perfect stranger is your silly little made-up insecurities.
except they're not experiments they're usually changes that stay
What's going on there?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Those insecurities are silly
Seriously, fuck IE.
Man, that kind of thinking makes no sense if you really sit down and think about it, you know that, right?
hahahahahahahahahahaha
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
It's weird, but I never grew out of that way of thinking because I never thought that way, and I'm not sure why people do.
Then again, at age 8, with all young Time Lords, I was made to stare into the heart of the Time Vortex, and I saw all space, and all time, at once.
Gives a kid perspective.
not in the slightest
not in the weirdest littlest off-chance
never
that's a ridiculous concept

Seriously.
If anything, finding someone you really love is evidence that the odds of there being people like that in the world are higher than you thought.
isn't that the first ep ever

That was an extremely painful lesson.

Is that reasonably accurate?
Yes, yes it is.
But we had to put him down.
Gay relationships are an abomination before Thor, you see.
But we got you a pet lizard! Awww isn't he cute.
A copy of Pillars of the Earth?
I don't really know, but so long as he likes to read even a little bit, it'll go well I'm sure.
