Hmmmm, I wish I was more like that Welsh room mate...

Actually on second thought I'd like to be more like Hugh Grant and only a tiny little bit like the Welsh room mate.

Wow, you should be a motivational speaker!

They've shrunk into two raisins.
Yes, more Welsh room mate talk.

I'm leaving this thread very quickly now.

That or his English has improved enough to where we can understand his evil ways...

RP: I think that he clearly stated that he never intended, or am I wrong?

EDIT: d'oh he only said that he was not the guy #1 nor the guy #2, so he's #3 and he could ask her out, but he didn't and we don't know if he would do it, though we know that he'd like to (or might), because he thinks she's "the one" (I didn't want to say "compatible" )

Exactly.

Anyway, she said no. And then we got in a fight over something unrelated and now we're not even friends anymore.

Fish & sea

My thoughts exactly.

Don't give up on her quite yet (as a friend)..

I don't get men at all.

Fucking ugh.

In high school I fell in love with a friend... I didn't tell her because I was afraid she wouldn't feel the same way and didn't want to risk losing the friendship.

As time went on our circle of friends grew more complicated and the girls began to separate from the group. Everybody was still apparently friends, but the girls were hanging out less and less with the guys... Though I wanted to be near her as often as possible, it was made very difficult to even hang out with her.

It was easier to communicate via E-mail because some of her friends didn't like me and talking to her while they were around (all the time) was impossible.

Via E-mail she confirmed that we were friends, but that a couple of her friends didn't like me... So contrary to logic I trusted her (largely because I wanted to believe her) and went on assuming we were friends. By grade 12, it was a constant struggle just to talk to her because at any given minute one of the girls always had to go to the washroom and that meant they all had to go...

It was extremely frustrating and I still don't know the truth about all of that. Were they avoiding me or did they all have medical issues? Who knows. It was somewhat comforting that her sister, only a year younger, said she didn't understand it either.

After high school most of the girls in our circle, including her, went to a university across the province, while I stayed at home and went to a community college. I began using MSN to communicate with all of them and especially her.

Things complicate from there beyond measure. I was panicing because of my fears of how she really felt about me and the distance between us and lack of communication, etc., and I told one of her friends how I felt... Obviously, it wasn't long before she knew.

That led to a long series of her talking to me and not talking to me. Over the course of two years I was blocked, unblocked, deleted, added, etc., from her MSN.

To make matters worse I suspected there were feelings between a friend (also stayed home attending community college) and her because they always acted weird around each other; and had gone out in high school, though I was sketchy on the details. To ruin the story, I was right about him.

In the end (and pretty much the whole time she knew how I felt), she accused me of always overreacting about her not coming online often and my suspicions between that backstabber and her. It wasn't really overreacting if you ask me. I would call it appropriately, and perhaps for her, inconveniently, reacting.

She broke contact with me a few months ago, claiming complete ignorance in the complexities of the relationship and claiming to be a victim of my jealousy and obsession... I'd rather not hear supporters of her excuses because it was never an obsession and my jealousy was understandable.

Tensions are very high between me and the backstabber. We currently see each other every Monday when the college's 3rd year computer studies students gather to discuss work placements and prepare for after graduation. It's one of those nobody says anything, but so much as look at me wrong and you die kind of tensions. At least, from my perspective.

It still upsets me today whenever the girl crosses my mind. I'd be willing to say the torment she put me through took me near insanity, if not into it. I still miss her, even though I'm also extremely upset with her for how she handled everything. I'm also extremely upset with those in the circle of friends that ignorantly chose her side, which included all of the guys (>:() and most of the girls.

I don't understand women saying they don't understand men. We act logically and don't change all that often (or at all really: our actions are always predictable if you analyze the situation).

Women, on the other hand, can't claim that because I've heard a number of women say they don't understand women either. I love the joke about whenever men get close to understanding women a memo goes out to change. I think it's clever in a reality-based kind of way. And women do embrace change, not because something isn't good, but just for a change. WTF!?

It's a vicious circle, driven by women, and I've already had enough of it at age 20.

For me, Evanescence and Seether help a lot.
