Is falling in love the best way to start? - Page 4

Simple: little magic single-serving packets of whitewash.

Or as Tyler Durden might not say: "How's being clever working for you?"

Alex · August 16, 2003, 10:59

There is no such a thing called "love". There is just chemical reactions, hormones and a big regret at the end of it all.

Gibsie · August 16, 2003, 11:17

You wouldn't say that if you had a cuddlemuffin like I do!

st_swithin · August 16, 2003, 18:41

aw, hunnybunny!

Whaleboy · August 16, 2003, 18:43

I want a cuddlemuffin!!!

Alexander's Horse · August 16, 2003, 21:21

ask a bunch of internet geeks about falling love - yeah right.

Ted Striker · August 16, 2003, 21:22

yeah you're not really the best source for information i agree

Alexander's Horse · August 16, 2003, 21:25

really? I've probably had more girlfriends and other encounters with women than anyone here.

That's why I look like death warmed up these days.

Alexander's Horse · August 16, 2003, 21:32

*shrug* Girls used to be my special subject. I was crazy about em.

Ted Striker · August 16, 2003, 21:36

so why did you sell out?

Alinestra Covelia · August 16, 2003, 21:37

Recently HMB has decided to get a "cuddly buddy" (sort of like a F!JCK buddy except she doesn't go all the way). From what it looks like, he still hasn't gotten over his girlfriend's death in January and he doesn't want to start dating. Last time I talked to him, he said he was never going fall in love with anybody again but instead he'd take his pleasure where he could.

That's the reason why I asked. I think maybe if he'd grown to love Pat, his girlfriend (and the girl in my avatar, incidentally) they would have had a stronger bond and he wouldn't feel so emotionally empty after she died.

"really? I've probably had more girlfriends and other encounters with women than anyone here."

True but we must take into account two factors:
a) You're the OLDEST
b) quality over quantity!

Alexander's Horse · August 16, 2003, 21:57

ya I am one of the oldest so obviously there's a "time in the market" element

The quality versus quantity thing is something I've often thought about. But I liked variety. The exciting part for me was chasing girls, having more than one girlfriend at a time, that sort thing.

God I was a cad. I was a bad boy, a kind of angelic looking evil genius type kid if that makes sense. Girls like bad boys.

monolith94 · August 16, 2003, 21:59

I'm not looking for a girl, I'm looking for a woman!

Alexander's Horse · August 16, 2003, 22:04

The problem you're going to have is she's probably looking for a man.

I had no choice - Mrs Horse just kind of came in and slowly took over my life

Alinestra Covelia · August 16, 2003, 23:00

And then you just came in and slowly took over this thread :arched eyebrows:

Well, I'll take that as a compliment. Just like Nirvana knew they were really big after Weird Al Yankovich satired their songs, I guess on Off Topic, a thread only becomes great after the Horse has spammed it

Alexander's Horse · August 17, 2003, 08:20

Yes I've done a wonderful job

Now that is true. That's my main goal here: to start a thread which can be spammed by Horse.

And there's no "you." Just a bunch of quarks and leptons.

What flavours are your bosons?

Gibsie · August 17, 2003, 14:59

I must confess I was lying about the cuddlemuffin. I actually call her my knullamuffin. Shocks.

ajbera · August 17, 2003, 15:21

I first met my wife in my senior year of high school. We were just friends, and kept in and out of contact over the years, hooking up at one point during our college years (separate schools) for one night of non-sexual fooling around. Then friends again, then we lost touch. Her e-mail addy was sent to me (along with several others) by a friend looking to reestablish old connections. I was divorced, as was she, and she had just ended a 3-year relationship. So, when we got together for a platonic dinner, sparks kinda flew, and we started dating. More than 5 years later (and our first wedding anniversary just passed in May) we wonder why it took so long to get together, and how we could have lived without each other for so long.

So, no love-at-first-sight for us, but a very gradual strengthening of our friendship into something much, much more. And we couldn't be happier.

st_swithin · August 17, 2003, 15:45

Are you sure you don't call her noodlemuffin?

When Harry met Sally........

st_swithin · August 17, 2003, 15:58

Yeah, I've seen 30-minute porns with at least 100 better fake orgasms than the one Sally gave in that 2-hr testament to her own overinflated ego.

Thanks for letting me borrow those, Russ.
