    Hell no!

    Change into a mad man , keep her locked in the cage in the dungeon.

    That will teach her. She'll love you after that I am sure of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 916 ✭✭✭Bloody Nipples


    I'd just accept it's not meant to be and move on.
    Not that I've ever had this problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    What change? Was I a dirty slob before without friends? Am I a nicer/better guy after the change?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 483 ✭✭baltimore sun


    well i wouldn't join a church/go to church for her or nothing.

    but it was simple things like keepin the house clean, i'd try but i wouldn't swear less or nothing important like that.

    depends though, is she marriage material or do you just wanna bone her? If it's just for a boning then yea, i'd change everything coz it'll only be until you rock her kasbah, but for marriage material no way, if you're gonna spend your remaining years you may as well be with a chick that actually like you the way you are

    Change what? You can't change what you are. You could pretend for long enough to get to get the leg over, but when she realises this, youre finished.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    "No"

    She should like you from the start, the way you are.
    After becoming a couple, ye both will change but thats natural progression as ye are reacting to one anothers needs as ye get to know them better.

    Its a change of actions thats needed sometimes, not a change of personality.

    are we talking different trousers and going to the odd museum or getting me junk lobbed off and being called samantha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I can honestly say I have changed a little for every girlfriend I've had.
    It's called compromise and it's the only way for two people to have a relationship.

    When you fully understand the difference between "LIKE" "LOVE" and "LUST" you will know the answer...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,074 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    I've been in situations before where there was apparently some kind of problem, and I was supposed to do something about it ... but the other person could not tell me what the problem was or what I could do about it. We're talking toddler-level discourse here:
    "waaaah! something's wrong!"
    "What? What's wrong? What can I do?"
    "waaaaaah! fix it! waaaah!"

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I probably would change.. but I have been wearing these underpants for a long time now.

    You shouldn't need to change for anyone, if you do then they're wrong for you.

    Ah the Simpsons has everything, brilliant.

    As for change, really it depends. As someone mentioned, if it's something like being a little neater then yeah I could give that a shot as it benefits me.

    Try to change something fundamental like the mates I hang out with and she'd be shown the door.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 453 ✭✭gonnaplayrugby


    no guys u dont get me. this is like trying to get someone to like u...not if ur already in a relationship. and i guess the one thing we can never truly change is how we look. a girl/guy is either attracted to u or they not doesnt matter about the hairstyle, the clothes you wear or the talents u got


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    As abitar and biggins said,why would you change if they love you as you are?
    However,I see that myself and nulty are a possible love match.
    If he/she (I think he) wished for me to change,then I would metamorphise into whatever could get me closer to them.



    Lol.

    I know what your trying to get at.

    If you feel you need changing - ask yourself a question - Do you need changing for them or really for yourself in the long term interest?

    * If your changing for a single person (to be attracted to you), your changing for a variable that is further open to change later in itself anyway...
    * If your changing for yourself (to seek further happiness for example) then the change within you will stay (if you so chose to remain that way) and those seeing you will have to still accept you for what you are as they see you in a moment of real time.

    I hope that makes sense.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    I change my underpants every day now just to keep her sweet, so I guess I can change in more ways than one...

    Right, well have you ever given her any indication that you do like her?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    The only change that should happen is the kind that comes from mutual compromise when you're actually in a relationship.

    Overhauling yourself to seek approval from somebody else , on the other hand, is wrong and sets a bad precedent.

    You may as well be yourself and somebody will like that for what it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭cafecolour


    No point in changing who you are to get someone who isn't interested. First off, they already know you and aren't going to buy it. Second, you'll have to maintain the fiction permanently, which is exhausting.

    You can't make someone like you,no matter how hard you try.

    And no,i wouldn't change for someone,if they don't like me for who i am, they can go fcuk themselves


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    No, never change...be who you are, not what you want others to see you as.

    You can never be less than you are, but can always become something more:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭Reeni


    Sure you can change certain habits or behaviours, or there is a natural change when in a relationship, there's a certain amount of compromise. But you shouldn't change who you are just to have someone like you!

    If you start doing that then why have a personality at all, you could just change to suit the people around you. Just be yourself, and if she doesn't like you then its not meant to be. There are plenty of girls out there I'm sure who will!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 453 ✭✭gonnaplayrugby


    but i really like this girl. i cant get her off my mind

    Biggins is the voice of reason and wisdom. Honest...



    I have in the past and I will in the future. The main thing I change is my weight. That's perfectly understandable to me though and I have no problem doing it. I went from 96KG 16 months ago, to 83KG now. But I also do this for myeslf, so it's killing two birds wtih one stone. If I was asked directly to do this I probably wouldn't. Some people need change and others do not. I wouldn't change dramatically for anybody, such as beliefs and the likes. My ex has a very religious and political family, they didn't like me because I didn't go to mass and I didn't vote for their party, but I couldn't give a damn about that.

    Simple things like shaving, not shaving, exercising, etc etc wouldn't bother me. I mean, if it benifits me too then it's not such a problem, right? I wouldn't change something if I didn't benifit from it or I didn't like the change. You know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    but i really like this girl. i cant get her off my mind
    Are you sure this is that old case of "love at first sight"? or just pure lust, because you want her so bad?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    but i really like this girl. i cant get her off my mind

    Yes, but does she know that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    I'd only change if it was positive change for myself and not to keep someone else happy.

    Aye, the only way she's gonna know is to tell her...otherwise it'll just consume you:(

    I was gonna say "eat you up", but didnt want Abi to crack a joke off it :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi

    I've a feeling he hasn't told her :/

    i had an option of giving up smokes drugs drink to become a muslim to marry two girls i met who said they would marry me if became muslim. what u think of that change?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    I have had the dubious pleasure of being in a relationship where the other persons sole agenda was to change me into something that they wanted. I in my own stupidity attempted to change out a false sense of owing them something and confusing it for compromise. Once I had opened that door it just led to a complete breakdown of reason to my life and eventually people just got hurt, mostly me.

    I have changed many things about myself as I get older but they are for myself and subsequentially others have benefitted. This has brought me happiness and a realisation that you can only be trully happy by being yourself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,705 ✭✭✭✭Tigger


    two girls

    i'm sure you could always change back thats what i think

    I think this is what usually happens when you let someone change you:

    Don't change for shìt! Unless you can see it as some sort of advantage or benefit to your well-being then don't change what's you to please somebody else.

    Technically everyone who knows you knows a slightly altered version of you. You don't act the exact same around everyone.

    So, I do change everytime I meet someone.

    That said, I would not fake a personality to get a girl, maybe to ride her, but not if I was in love with her.
