I decided to share my recent expiriences with PR just to see what reflections I receive back, and how other people try their knowlege and skills - love, relationships and the things encircling them . The main question is just how do you go about it? Wether your in a relationship right now, or finding a new or first love(other than rigs), im just wondering what you battle plan is to get that first kiss or a response from a chat up line.

My expiriences are few an far between, having not a lot of luck or skill when trying to get a gf - ive had one cheat on me , she was very immature tho, and the relationship lasted less than a month. Im currently building up a relationship with a new found friend from this very site, she who shall not be named .

Well its up to you now, thanks in advance for your tales of love and destiny .

I'm a total wuss. If a girl wants me, SHE has to put the effort forward. Whenever I try the whole pursuit thing, I freak out thining that I'm freaking them out. Luckily I've had a couple actually engage in this pursuit. Never the ones I want, but it keeps me hopeful nonetheless.

My first real girlfriend (6th grade doesn't count) was sooo easy. A mutual friend lied about me to her friend to make me look awesome. I went out for two and a half years. Now she's crazy! And I'm awesome!

I go by Sexy Pants' way. Only got one girl that way so far. She dumped me shortly after Valentines day.
I got my first girlfriend when I was in kindergarten. She was my neighbor, and I used to run from home to go to her house...then my mom came running over looking for me scared as hell. She was a redhead, too!

Im just out of a very serious relationship, literally yesterday.
I was getting married in september, but i think its for the best to be honest, i didnt really have any freedom at all, i had to steal time away to make room for other stuff for me to do, i rarely got a chance to do any modding, go out for a few beers or anything. Then she had to go on a course in a different town and because of the commute she stayed up there for a few weeks, coming down at the weekend. We had no sex life for about 9 months, she was putting it down to stress at her old job, i gave her that one, but when she changed to a practically stress free job, still no improvement. Dont get me wrong here, i still loved her.

Anyway i had some issues with stuff that she was doing and it was getting worse, so we decided to go our own separate ways, so you guys will probably see me posting a lot more.

Be honest, and expect the same. If she's interested in someone that you've made up, then it can't possibly last, but if she is interested in you for who you are, your honesty will be refreshing in comparison to a lot of folks online, and you will have the foundation worthy of being built on.
(Side note: I am currently in a relationship that started online 2 1/2 years ago, and we will be wed in January )

Understand it's been since 1986 that I dated, so I have to think back a bit.

Up front and honest has usually worked well for me. Questions like "So are you planning on wearing those pants all night?" really open up candid conversation.

wow i never expected this much reponse - a modders life is still full of surprises, even without 6800's and x880's .


wordbiker- no worrys man i can see your concern about the whole "blind date" rule which practically governs the whole internet dating thing. Ive done it before, but failed miserablly as I said before, but all the female activity in my area, certainly within 10miles is from those over 65 . So i choose to try other means of finding someone special, and I think I have - its early days, but I learnt my lessons last time, so Im hoping for a good expirience this time around (so is she form what ive heard).

Thats great news for you - it can work, and honesty is the key. I hope everything goes to plan in Jan!

I'm actually in the beginnings of a relationship, we were on Montage (school's literary mag) as editors, talk alot during lunch. She asked me the other day if I wanted to go to Prom with her.
Her: "Want to go to prom with me?"
Me: "Nothing against you, but I don't like crowds of people or events like that."
Her: "Me neither, it's just my friend doesn't want to be alone at her table."
Me: "Ah. Want to go to a movie or something instead?"
Her: "Sure!"

Then we talked on the phone for a couple hours.
