I'm completely addicted to Dota 2.

If i was younger man I would so crack out on this game. Its to the point where I dont really need to play much of anything else.

Just paid off 1 of my credit cards:blessed:
And 3 weeks away from paying off the other one.

Besides student loans I'll be debt free y'all:ohlawd:
Good shyt!! How much do you have left on the loans? I was in the same boat this summer, then I fukked up and borrowed again :facepalm: Gave myself a nice scolding, buckled down and I should be going into 2016 with just student loans. I'm trying to get rid of them this year for good. Dave Ramsey said "If you stop borrowing money, you eventually get out of debt". I'm just trying to keep that in mind even though I seem to convince myself that the balance transfer doesn't count as borrowing :heh:

Every time I get to feeling like I want a relationship, someone confides in me about their marriage or relationship that leaves me feeling lucky I've never experienced it. Maybe it's for a reason, like I'm being protected against something. I can't call it. I do know that people allow themselves to grow apart and it's sad. I hate to hear "We don't have anything in common". It's a million things in the world to like you meant to tell me you two can't find ONE thing? Even with all the horror stories, I still want to experience my own calamity one day.

Even down to a physiological perspective...experiences shape us and how we develop as human beings. I think its prudent to take heed to listen and observe the common trait of these horror stories as a "lesson" of sorts that you can use as a means of avoiding your own personal calamity.

What I think you should avoid at all costs is just not getting into a relationship because of an irrational fear that you may have never experienced because we're all going to either be worm food or ashes one day (yeah I'm putting it bluntly for a reason) and you need to explore every avenue of life that could bring fulfillment to you before you go.

I think it's tough for me because people expect you to have experienced certain things based on age and I'm really getting comfortable with the fact that I'm a late bloomer in regards to this shyt. Sex is one thing but actually building something with someone is hard work. I'm glad I found someone with patience although I don't think we'll ever get past a certain point in our association, it's still nice to get some experience. It's also tough as a female because it's all these social expectations in place to be married and/or have children and once you hit a certain age and it hasn't happen a slight panic starts to set in.

I'm probably more afraid to be in a relationship than not be in one so I don't feel it's something that will make life incomplete but a part of me feels this is a mature and natural feeling to have but like you said, I can't just jump in just because.

If anyone empathizes with being a late bloomer its me...this past weekend was a crazy one in terms of me opening up to the girl I'm dating because there was some awesome shyt that happened which was the culmination of everything I've been telling her about me since August/September. Basically, my mindset is that I'd be open about my introverted nature and to an extent the causes of that and she didn't give me the atypical ":francis: :usure::patrice:" that females usually do but rather refreshing ":whoo::gladbron::jawalrus:" responses telling me that it's something she wanted to work on with me. (Some extra shyt happened but that's neither here nor there :blessed:)

Point is...the fact that you have someone with the patience is good...I don't know what point of your association won't become a milestone to pass or why but if they can take you seriously like that I don't see why you wouldn't pursue it :manny: That's on you to find out.

If you really don't want to be in one then don't...if there are urges you have then I would say that you actually want to be in one yet are trying to use your fears to legitimize not getting into one.

That's dope!! I hope you and her work hard at it and create a substantial association.

I take being in a relationship very seriously so I know it's not something that will come easy to me but I don't think others take it very seriously. Like I'm good with being alone and I value my time so I don't like the concept of random dating just for the hell of. At the same time it seems like you can't really find the "one" without doing some sort of trial and error. I'm trying to find a way to balance that feeling instead of just saying fukk it and avoiding it altogether.

The Scarf mentioned that there's some kind of service that allows you to do background checks on people :troll:
