Well, shucks. Can't beat those!

Anyways, I have a friend problem again! This time about an older friendship about a (guy) friend who doesn't seem to want to help himself. It's been quite awhile now... Wait, anyone vaguely even care? I don't want to post if nobod... Wait, this is CC, why should I bring everyone's attitude down again?

Ohh well, thought I'd ask. (Most of) You guys are pretty logical and know how the world opperates.

I now live with the aknowledgement that CC is indeed a valid source of: entertainment, logic, and derrangement. And I'm talking about the threads as well as the games.

YOU said in your first post... ON subject I might add, that you are new in your town and you can't make any friends, except for one girl on line.

And you brought your situation here, not me....

And by the way, about your girlfriend saying ok to your friendship with other girls, well, I am in no way insinuating that she is dumb or anything... I was trying to say she just doesn't know.

And I asked you this question about being friends with a female ever before because of that....And you said I insulted you... I wasn't insulting you at all... I simply wanted you to acknowledge if it ever worked before. And then you say you have been with this girl for 4 years. So have you or have you not had friends before, because you said you did in the next post. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT,

IF she has already been in this situation with you, then she knows and your boundaries were set.

However, I find it hard to believe that if you were in this situation before you would come and ask everyone for help with it.


YOU said you couldn't make friends so you went to the internet, and found a girl you liked and then you met, and your attracted to her. What should I do? was your question.

IF your going to do that, you have to accept what you don't want to hear, or ignore it... Don't come back with insults, because I as one, will just become over bearing.

Selective memory?

I just moved to a new city. So of course I didn't have any friends right away. Obviously I had friends, both male and female, in my old city I was living in.

I'm sorry I can't live up to your standards of making friends super-fast. :cry:

My Troubled Friend

Postby Kal on Sun Oct 21, 2007 5:04 am

New topic, by the way.

You see, my friend has the potential to be an Iron Chef (he are good at cooking!) but instead of coming out to a big city, such as the one I'm in, he's staying in his (and my old) hometown "Taking the year off." He's never had a girlfriend, and he's pampered by his mom. Seriously, when we were roommates for the last year (I lived on my own for the last two years, as I said before) his mom would even visit every two weeks. And when she did visit, she did his laundry... That's just one of many examples. He roleplays, plays board games, he's a total video-gamer, and he's hairy as a Saasquatch. So, pretty much like me, but much hairier, and much more shy around women.

He's really eccentric once he gets comfortable around a new person, but at first he's really shy. As such, the current friends he has thinks he's nuts. But in a good way. it's hard for him to make new friends, but occasionally his randomness and enthusiasm lets him meet some pretty interesting people.

Anyways, he's taking the year off, like i said, when he should be living it up being a chef in a restaurant in the big city, rather than wasting away in some small town. I think he has potential, but not while he's restricted to a small town of less than 400 people.

So? Should I drag his hairy-ass out here? Or let him waste away in a small town with no friends (and no potential girlfriends) and sit around with nothing to do but internets?

I'm not making anybody be a chef, it's what HE wants to be. That's why he was my roommate for a year; he was taking Culinary Arts in the college we went to. He'd make better money, and have a better experience if he lived in a real city. Sure, he pays no rent or bills where he is now, but living with mom can't be as great a living experience as it would be if he lived in a city where you don't know everyone.

When he took culinary arts, how did it go? Did anything happen that may have made him feel discouraged? When he lived away from home, was it far from home, and was it in a small or larger city? Was he homesick or overwhelmed by it? Or was it just a case of not being independent because his mother kept coming over and helping him out?

I also am very spoiled by my mother. Fortunately for me, she's in China right now, so she can't do my laundry! For someone in this situation, it can be difficult to break away from, and possibly even frightning. If he moves to a new city and pursues a career as a chef, there is a possibility for failure. If he does not try, he can not fail. He's completely in his comfort zone right now, and doesn't have enough of a motivation to get out of it. He's also shy, which gives him even more reasons to be nervous-- going from knowing everyone in a town to everyone being a stranger is especially intimidating for a person who has trouble feeling fully comfortable around new people.

An easier step would be to get a cooking job where he lives. If there were a position available, do you think he'd try to take it? Since it's a small town though, I guess the opportunity wouldn't arise very often. Or maybe he already has a job?

If I were in your position, I would encourage him to do SOMETHING in his year off. Even if it isn't related to a career. He could try a new hobby or pursue an interest that he didn't have time for before. Whatever he does, it should be something that takes him outside of his comfort zone. Get him to come visit you and make him meet new people, try new things, and see what the city is like.

If he does these sorts of things, it should make it easier for him not to take a second year off.

But if you really think that you can convince him to move out to where you live, go for it! It would definitely be good for him. Or, convince his mother to move to another country! bahah.

Don't FORCE your friend to do anything, he'll just resent you. Try the powers of suggestion because friends generally respect the opinons of each other. Is a year off that much of a bad thing? Does he intend to move after the year off? Is he working to be more independent? Subtly try to bring all these things up, but no forcing anything.

Invite him for one day for a tour of the city. Show him why you think he should move there, ie: Restaurants, facilities, etc.

First question I have for you is...

Have YOU ever HAD a FRIEND that was MALE.

From a MANS point OF view, I have had MANY friends that were MALE, and THEY all end up trying to F*CK me and THEY never appreciate WHEN I try to help them. As for your LIFE in girlfriend, YOU are in a committed relationship, if YOU don't want to be in it, you shouldn't BE sniffing around and helping GUYS out with their personal lives. I AM telling you, it doesn't matter if THEY are on track to becoming a LOSER. AS soon as the your GIRLFRIEND gets WIND that he blows YOU for FREE in the lower direction SHE will be unimaginally TORMENTED by SUSPICIONS. The friendship is fun because you BOTH got something IN return.

Don't go HELPING out your GUYFRIENDS behind your girlfriends back!!! Even IF you don't f*ck, she will still BE pissed, because FRIENDSHIP is not just about sex. If your girlfriend EVER finds out that you HAVE any friends, she will ALWAYS be wondering if you're GAY.

If your going to make friends in your childhood, keep it in your childhood.

I SAY you should explain to your girlfriend that you are unsure that you want to be in a committed relationship and DUMP that BITCH. OR Quit making ANY friends AT ALL. Don't PLAY with your current girlfriends heart strings, that just SOUNDS out of tune on all levels. Get out of your relationship and then pursue friends. Your a DICK for even going and MAKING friends in the first place. If your going to be committed be fuckING committed!!!

It's either all or nothing. OR you could find yourself an imaginary friend.

:lol: :lol: :lol: eh but seriously I'd say try to get your friend to make a promise to himself to do something productive this year, and at the end, even if he did nothing productive, he would move on and move out. If he does neither then take it into your own hands :wink:

THAT, sir! Now that was the most most hilarious thing I've ever freakin' read. I lol'd! I lol'd HARD

You also made a good point at the end. Probably the best idea.

Mr. Anti-beastly guy, you have officially became my CC MVP!
