A Wednesday Pick Me Up.

[Jake D]

Pete:
 She's got her own  world to deal with in New York.  She was
                  a sweet girl but ___ her.  You gotta
                  move on.  You gotta let go of the past.
                  The future is so beautiful.  Every day is
                  so sunny out here.  It's like Manifest
                  Destiny man.  I mean, we made it.  What's
                  past is prologue.  That which does not
                  kill us makes us stronger.  All that
                  sh*t.  You'll get over it.



Mikey:
                  How did you get over it?  I mean how long
                  'til it stopped hurting?



Pete:
                  Sometimes is still hurts.  You know how
                  it is, man.  I mean, each day you think
                  about it less and less.  And then one day
                  you wake up and you don't think of it at
                  all, and you almost miss that feeling.
                  It's kinda weird.  You miss the pain
                  because it was part of your life for so
                  long.  And the, boom, something reminds
                  you of her, and you just smile that
                  bittersweet smile.



Mikey:
             You miss the pain?



Pete:
                  ... for the same reason you miss her.
                  You lived with it so long.



Mikey:
                  Wow.                    
                  You wanna grab a bite?




Pete:                        
                  Sure.
                                     
          By the way, the guys back home said she
                  put on some weight.



Mikey:
                       
                  You always know the right thing to say.

Wow ... that was ... so freaking ghey ...
Cool.

[Jake D]

I'm not going to lie, it may be ghey.   But it is really ghey that you don't recognize it!

It is best exchange from one of the best movies ever.

[JetSwing]

i thought that was very sweet  

[Jake D]

I'm going to a tough time right now.  I am crying out for help from my friends here.

There is a girl I really like that I've been dating.  She quit calling me back.  All indications were that she really liked me.  I really could see myself marrying this girl.  She was perfect!  And now I don't want to call her or bug her.  Text her or run into her.  The ball is in her court and she hasn't called.  

I feel physically ill.  I can't sleep.  I just throw myself around my apartment and moan.  It is horrible.

Life sucks.

Life sucks.

I know the feeling, but:  Desperate moaning is not attractive to anybody.  Friends will start to shun you.  No one will pity you.  Everyone will say, "Hey, get over it."  You won't.  People will start discussing how pathetic you are...in your presence.  Word will eventually get back to the person for which you pine.  This will not help your cause.

Accept that life sucks sometimes.  Embrace it.  Understand that being miserable is a self-sustaining state.  Realize that the time and effort you are spending balled up in your own misery is time and effort you could be spending in other endeavors.

Have a beer.

No, right now...have a beer.

Invite some friends over.  Watch a mindless movie.  One with fart jokes.  If you don't laugh...have another beer.

Cheer up!  Remember that things are never so bad that they can't get worse! [well, maybe that's not so helpful].

Hey, get over it.  

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

One with fart jokes. If you don't laugh...have another beer.

Every time someone farts or makes a fart joke, have a beer, watch an arnold schwarzenegger movie, every time something blows up, drink, every time arnold says "get down", drink, every time a bad guy dies, drink, every time a good guy dies, drink twice.... =) Wasting time in my chem class....

jokes aside, I've been there... and life does suck... but shite happens... gotta clean it up and move on, best advice I can give...

[pandy]

There is a girl I really like that I've been dating.  She quit calling me back.  All indications were that she really liked me.

Awww

How many dates had you had? Over how long of a period of time? How many calls has she not returned? When did you leave the last message? Any possibility that a relative in another country died, and she suddenly had to drop everything in life to hop a plane (especially because this relative has 6 zillion dollars)?

Was the last date a good one? Any clue at all as to why she wouldn't at least call you back to say, "thanks, but it's not working for me..."?

Any chance that she liked you so much that she was spooked? <---that actually happened to me, so it's not beyond the realm.

I'm sorry you're going through a rough time.  I wish everyone could just be upfront, and just be honest if something wasn't working.

[Jake D]

I actually have a date tonight.  I'm bouncing back, but I really don't like this girl that I'm seeing tonight.  

Hey, I found a good drinking game.

Listen to the Police song called Roxanne.  Divide the room into two halves.  The people on one side drink every time he says "Roxanne" and the people on the other side drink when he says "red light".  It is a sprint at the end and actually comes out very, very even.

[The Buddha]

All right fine ... Didn't know that ...
Cool.

And I'll bet you were the only person on both sides of the room.  :lol:

[davipu]

in situations like this, you need a burrito.

[pandy]

That reminds me...it's time for lunch!

[Jake D]

Pandy, this was a girl that I went to college with.  We were kind of friends at the time, but I've known her for years.  She is super smart and beautiful.  Long blonde hair, nice smile, great body.  We were hanging out a few weeks ago and she said "Jake, the only reason we're not dating is because you've never asked me out."

So I did.  We had a few dates.  A couple sleepovers.  By all accounts, she was having a great time.  I went out with her LAST Saturday and had a blast. I called her the following Monday.  I asked her if she'd like to see me again.  She said that she felt like she was getting a cold.  She said "I promise I'll call you later this week and maybe we can do something Saturday."  I didn't hear from her all week.

So Saturday morning I sent her a text message that read, "Busy tonight?"  I never got a response and I drank myself into a stupor.

But I think I may have found the girl for me:

Edit: it could be worse.  The other associate in my office just found out his 32 year old wife (and mother of 3) has MS.  Crap.

[pandy]

So Saturday morning I sent her a text message that read, "Busy tonight?"  I never got a response and I drank myself into a stupor.
But I think I may have found the girl for me:

Maybe she's been REALLY sick...maybe try one more time? Tell her you hope that she's feeling better, that you've been trying to contact her, and that you're hoping to get together again? And you can be honest with her..tell her you like her, but that if she just wants to be friends, ask her to be honest with you, and you'll respect that... Maybe she didn't get your text msg? I hope there's a good explanation....I hate flakiness! And if there *isn't* a good explanation, then she's just plain not worthy of YOU!!!  :kiss:

HAHA!!! noooooooooo :P  Dayim..that chick is pretty bitter at the tender age of 25.  :lol:

[Jake D]

There is zero chance I could just be friends with her.  I have a ton of friends.  None of whom I've ever had relations with.  She is worthless to me in any roll other than long term girlfriend.

I've drafted probably 5 or 6 text messages, prepared to send them, and then deleted them.  Even though a text message is worth half of an unreturned phone call, contacting her again would be a mistake.  I think.

[Badger]

Just a thought...maybe I'm old fashioned...but perhaps you should try actually speaking with her before writing her off?  

'course, this coming from a person easier to reach by email than by telephone.

Oooooh....ok...call me naive....after reading the above, I put "sleep overs" together with.....uh...greater intimacy....rather than..uh.. sleeping on the couch? Call me slow...  

Let me rephrase all my posts on this matter: she's not worthy of you.  :kiss:  I'm glad YOU recognize that you're worth better (but why going out with someone you don't like?  :dunno: )

Maybe she didn't get your text msg? Maybe *she* thinks *you* loved her and left her? Just grasping at straws here, cuz I've never been able to understand "love 'em, and leave 'em" behaviour.

[Jake D]

She HATES talking on the phone.  

And I broke down and just sent her another message.  

It read, "We have room on our bus to Oktoberfest this weekend if you are free.  Let me know if you are."

(note: about 20 of my friends and I rented a greyhound bus, with 2 kegs to take us to the winery in Hermann Missouri Saturday for Oktoberfest, an event we had discussed previously).  

I'm an idiot.  

Dammit!!!!

EDIT:  HOLY CRAP!  I GOT A MESSAGE BACK!!!!!!  It read: "i have tickets to moving out on sat night wish i could lets do something next week : ) "
