Are you in love?

...My statement is still correct, at no point did I say love is an all conquering emotion that negates all feuds and brings about eternal harmony, infact i'd say quite the opposite, love is an emotion that puts a human to its greatest test of TRYING to achieve perfect harmony with another, which is never truly achievable thus the bumps in the road form and the arguments ensue. I love my girlfriend and I have for many years, but there's days i'd throw her down a hill all the same.

 

i think it's physically impossible for me to be in love. i can have crushes, but they never become more than that. and i date people as well, but the moment things get too serious on their side, i run away.

like, over the summer, i was living with my boyfriend at the time. the moment he told me he loved me, i freaked out, and ended up calling my parents to come get me and take me home. i just didn't feel the same way. a lot of my relationships are one-sided. i can't bring myself to genuinely like a person the way you're supposed to in a relationship. i am always in lust with them.

hmmmm, does this even have anything to do with the topic or am i blabbering :c
so i guess the answer is no, lol. and it will probably always be no because i am screwed.

 

Oh you kids and your problems.

 

My first crush was an ass, but I'm still not over him.

;-;

 

I love the idea of love.

 

I feel like this thread is filled with jokers, angst, and KS loving on himself.

But to answer your question, Norz, I am quite in love.

"Do you?"

"Love you?"

"Yes."

". . . are you serious?"

"I'm usually quite serious. But you should understand love is quite different to me, and is subject to change."

". . . right."​

 

I am .

 

I am not.

Woe is me!

 

The majority of this thread depressed me, but then it just made realize how lucky I am. You know what? Next time I get to see my girlfriend, I'm taking her to her favorite place to eat and telliing her to thank you, KHV.

I think this more depends on the individual person, but most girls would lean towards being paid for at least occasionally (what do lesbian couples do?). I know in my relationship, my girlfriend makes more money than I do because she's been working longer than me so she gets paid more, and she gets about twice as many hours as I do. But I still feel uncomfortable having her pay for anything so I try to pay for everything. She gets mad at me for spending money I don't have and gets even madder when I don't let her pay for something (the other day, we went through a drive thru and I didn't order...so she ordered for me and told me to suck it up lol). At the same time, however, I pay her gas when she visits/drives me around (BUT I GET A CAR THIS SUMMER, WOO), I never let her pay at a sit-down restaurant, and I know that if she and I were in your situation, she'd probably like me a little bit less lol.

I would never assume for her without asking, but I'm usually the one who orders, as in, she tells me what she wants and I'll tell the server. If it's a place we frequent, then I usually just ask "you're getting {insert dish here}, right?"

This. Though it's more like if I was Bruno Mars, I'd let her catch the grenade.​

I'm in love with a white girl. My family will execute me.

 

Yes but it's not returned

 

That is incredibly sexist.

 

I have to go with Chris on this one. [nice name, by the way]

Gender roles still exist, sure, but while I do regret it sometimes, I do live in America, and we're about as free as it gets, really [I'm not saying other countries don't have more freedom or freedom at all, so please don't hop on my dick], men and women don't have to do anything.

If a man wants to pay for dinner, sure - but he is in no way obligated to do so. The only person that makes him obligated is himself, because of the way he feels about it. It could be the same for women. It's just more common for men to pay - and it works for the first couple of dates, after that, you guys could split, or even alternate.

But seriously. The only thing a man has to do is register for the Draft at age eighteen, and -

Well, yeah.​

 

If chivalry's dead, feminism killed it.

 

Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope... Love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticule, and together, achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds.'

This, apart from the attractive part. Nice guys are last, blah, blah.

Stuff your pride, I want me my money!

 

This is correct. If anything, you will argue more with someone and get even more angry at them because you love them. Hatred is not the opposite of love, indifference is.

It was always sexist, no matter how many people thought it was the right thing to do.

Chivalry was never alive to begin with. Chivalry was created as an ideal primarily through the legend of King Arthur to channel the sexist sensibilities of the time and give people a sense of honor that fit with the values they placed on women and anyone else who was considered 'lower class'. Incorporating the sexism of the times into the definition of honor only prolonged the bad things that made them create the ideal in the first place. Where chivalry is alive, sexual violence and devaluing is. The same is true of religion. Christians have an ideal, but the vast majority of Christians are obviously hateful bigots anyway. You cannot create an ideal based on sexism without dragging along the circumstances that created it.

KotOR much, there, PaW?

 

Ha...ha...ha. Do you know what chivalry is? It's a quick Google search away, my friend.

I'm not really seeing sexism in there. I guess one could say that the "always respect the honor of women" part is a double standard but one also must remember that back in the day, not raping a woman after pillaging the village she lived in and instead respecting her was not common sense.

 

As long as a woman isn't meant to stay at home and cock/take care of the children all day, you are in no way obligated to pay her bills and what not. As matter of fact, if a woman demanded that I'd pay for her bills, I would dump her on the spot. That said, I might still pay for a trip to the restaurant, because I already do that for friends and what not, but it should in no way be demanded, neither from me; nor her. As long as it is not an old fashioned wife, for some reason, then that bullshit should be over and done with. Just my 50cent

 

Quoting for that fun fun typo.

...then again, looking at my keyboard, those letters aren't anywhere near each other...
