Are you worried that your porn movie wth Ichiro will come up if I Google your name (is Kermo your real name)?
No, really, it was just the quote. Wasn't trying to take a cheap shot (well, maybe I was. But I've said a lot of bullsh*t before too, so I really shouldn't knock the guy). |

| Don't confuse lust, longing, desire for love. For all those days spent in ecstasy there are so many more days that are spent quietly just living life. Surviving through the times that are hard. Having someone to share your experiences with and commiserate at the end of the day seems preferable than all the hot fire passion that seems to break people into a thousand pieces. |
I suffer from being attracted only and really only to the hot fire passion. It f*cks you up when it falls apart, but I can share experiences and be comiserated by my friends if need be.
If there's no thunder and lightening then there's no point as I know the moment I meet someone who makes me feel like that, I'll leave the present girl in a flash or wish I could.
I'll save safe, comfy relationships for when I'm older. |

You need to hope fervently you get older real fast, then. I've been both places, and I know which is better ... that fire you're talkin' about can burn you bad. REAL bad. You looking' for pain, you're on the right road to find it. Try for the warm glow and the light in the center of your life that just goes on and on and on ... yeah, that's the ticket. You can still bank those coals and get the flames going when you want and need them to be there, but I sort of think the kind of fire you're talking about consumes everything in its path, and you're not going to like where that ends up.

Seems the more I gave the less I got.
Whats the use in tryin?
All you get is pain.

But the burning is an eternal flame.....first cut is the deepest..etc.
long lived romances tend to just fade away. Its the passionate shorter encounters that stay in your memories |

That's because long lived romances that end usually don't end mutually and happily. |

Good memories, or the other kind?

The important question is: who do you think about more when you're mast*rbating? The flings or the long term ones?
I've got a steady rotation of both. I've never been into thinking about celebrities or random hot girls I see. |

| I dated a very attractive Korean athlete for a couple of months a while ago, and when he stopped calling and pretty much disappeared I was really bummed out for a while. Well- he ended up coming back, saying he missed me and really wanted to see me again; so we started seeing each other AGAIN, and this time it got pretty 'intense'. Well, once again after a couple of months, he has disappeared. Funny thing is, I was much more upset the first time around. Now I am just mildly irritated, probably because it wasn't a big shock. It is kind of a bummer though, because man he is beautiful! |

Good news! Studies show it's not so bad after all...

At the start of the study, all the participants were between the ages of 17 and 19, and all had been dating for at least two months. They then completed online questionnaires biweekly over a 38-week period to track their relationship status.
Every successive survey asked those still coupled up to characterize the depth of their current love and to predict their emotional state of mind two, four, eight, and 12 weeks after a theoretical split. All were also asked how soon they might enter into a new relationship following any break-up.
Freshmen who broke with a partner or were dropped by a partner were asked to describe - -several times over the following 10 weeks -- how happy they felt post-relationship, and how upset they were that it had ended.Thirty-eight percent of the participants --16 men and 10 women-- ended their relationship within the first six months of the study. On average, those relationships had lasted 14 months.
Focusing solely on this group, the researchers found that, on average, the participants' predictions of emotional cataclysm offered just two weeks before a split far exceeded the actual distress they underwent for three months after the split.
And, although both real and imagined distress diminished as time went on, the spread between actual and predicted anguish stayed constant throughout -- with predicted distress far exceeding actual distress even months after a relationship had ended.
In addition, those who said they were more in love before a split did experience slightly more distress after a break, but they were also much more likely to overestimate the ardor of breaking up. By contrast, those who said they were not in love before a split or indicated they would get into a new relationship within two weeks of a split were found to be "quite accurate" at visualizing a true post-break experience. |

Since so many women on this board find the pain of men amusing, I thought I'd start this, since the pain of a female heartbreak is equally amusing.
Don't forget to include all the graphic details!  |
When I was 16 and in high school, my 17 year old boyfriend committed suicide. He set up a tent in his bedroom (to make it easier for his mom to clean up the mess). I was worried about him that night (because he was acting erratically- sp?), so I drove to his house and there were ambulances outside. A very jaded cop drove me home. Meh, I don't think I want to write this anymore.
Sister just found her boyfriend dead a couple months ago.
Personally, I don't find anyone's pain amusing~ |
