    Your right nesf it normally does feel very good when you are in love but after a long time in the relationship you can forget that feeling and if neither party makes the effort to blow the dust off it then you fall into the trap Tar was on about.

    I have experienced that once in the past. I am hoping that it isn't always the case though :)

    ah i think i know the diff anyhow,espec when i stopped giving a **** about the sex and concentrating more on just being around em...

    I have always been wondering bout this, is it all a load of bull or do you actually realise it when your in love,the word love seems like a load a bollox to me but that could be cause i ain't found it yet.Thought i did a few times but i know now it def wasn't. A story bout how i fu**** up once and maybe missed out on this love thing,lol. Was going out with someone who i def shouldn't have been. Broke up with her and was feeling a little bit strange bout it. That day found out that a friend who is seriously SERIOUSLY hot wanted to meet me. Apparently she wanted to with a while but i wasn't to sure bout it and didn't want to go straight from one to another and **** up two friendships(was still friends with the ex) left it for a week and ended up being with her but was finding it a bit strange cause i couldn't change from thinking of her as a good friend.then came one of the biggest regrets of my life.i was very drunk the next day and was at a match, on the bus on the way back home i was with a total minger who gave me a hand job on the back of a bus!lol.In school the next monday it was everywhere and i was starting to feel like a right prick(yup i most def was) there was no way she was gonna go out with me after that but was still talking to me. ages after that we were at a friends house and were all drinking,was starting to look like i had a chance of sorting it out with her and was nearly with her but nothing happened,found out after she def wanted to. but nothing ever did happen again.she mentioned something bout it one night,a smart comment. i never felt like such an idiot,every time i'd see her i was reminded at what i threw away(my idea of a perfect gf) and still to this day there is barely a day goes by that i don't think about her.

    so ya it's too true, like the song goes "don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone"

    to the op, maybe you won't be able to get this girl outta your head so you might be better off to see if you have a chance with her again, finality is much better than spending years wondering what might have been, i realise that now,i should have tried again.
    Regrets are a biotch!!!

    "When everything feels like the movies, you bleed just to know you're alive"

    Love is what love is, it knows no boundaries, no faults. Love does not see less, it sees more, and because it sees more, it is willing to see less. Love is when you want, need, care about, every single miniscule aspect of that person. You may acknowledge their downfalls but you don't care, you brush them aside, because they are part of them, in your eyes they can do no wrong. Love cannot be tamed, controled, turned on and off like a tap. Love is not just a word but, a life.

    As for realising this when the person is gone, yep you feel like part of you is missing, like your soul is torn in two.

    Try be friends with her, it'll hurt like fcuk but try come to the conclusion that, if you do love her you want to see her happy, and if that's not with you then that is okay. If you can't be with her be friends with her. Maybe tell her this, cuz I was told it before, by a guy I know it was true from and it really makes you realis jut how much the person loves you.

    Love is just a collection of feel good chemicals and hormones (PEA's) produced in the brain in order to make us stick with someone, and reproduce. The kick is, after a few years, we build up a tolerance to the drug/chemicals, and the effect wears off.

    Think of it as temporary insanity, or a heroin kick. ;)

    Love is for girly men.

    You're only in love when you can take a dump with the door open. Thats what a serious relationship is about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,635 ✭✭✭✭nesf


    Actually, I have family guy t-shirts and collect PC games. :)

    Yes.

    Also, being able to break wind in each other's company and then critique the odour would indicate a very strong and healthy relationship.

    Now class, for your homework assignment try and figure out if I'm being sarcastic or serious.

    "God loves a trier"

    Both statements are cop-outs.
    If you don't have some idea of what you want from a partner, you shouldn't really be out wasting anyone's time until you do.

    Sheesh. Kids nowadays.

    (In Napoli where love is king
    When boy meets girl here's what they say)

    When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
    That's amore
    When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
    That's amore
    Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
    And you'll sing "Vita bella"
    Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
    Like a gay tarantella

    When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
    That's amore
    When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
    You're in love
    When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
    Dreaming signore
    Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
    That's amore

    Thanks "i like cake". Mines a creamy sponge one.

    Ive been watching moderators reactions to posts etc recently particularly when ppl get banned etc. Ive noticed I like Cake is banned yet he has only posted to 2 threads. Ehhh, am i missing the point here or is this message forum turning into a police state free speech place where u can say what u like as long as the moderators are ok with it???? Maybe they should put a disclaimer on the site saying "All posts subject to approval"....

    Hey Esel, im sorry i called u a clown. Can i borrow some of your playstation games???

    Simu, thats beautiful, u shud go on X Factor!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,635 ✭✭✭✭nesf


    I like cake was banned because it was a second account of the previously banned user jazzbandit. Opening a new account to get around a ban means another site ban. It's one of those no brainers really. If your first account is site banned you're not generally going to be allowed to just re-register to get around it.


    There's no need for a disclaimer. This is a privately owned site and free speech doesn't apply here (nor in Ireland for that matter).

    but i found I skipped class and held hands down by the river side when i was on love. :(

    Did you? I never noticed. Revalco thought I called him a dirty lying snake once, but he was wrong. What's a 'playstation'?

    love is a human construct, it doesnt exist.

    now its off to listen to the smiths.

    huh, why what's wrong with the strawberry? Love is simply a chemical rush to aid in procreation and survival of the species, and it usually wears off. Scientific fact. I know you and Pighead are in love (or so he keeps saying), but you've got to realise it's just an illusion brought about by evolution/necessity.

    Yes, I am the most unromantic man in the world... ;)
