I don't get emotional or physical intimacy from anyone else. I have very close relationships with good friends but even they don't know my intimate thoughts and secrets and hopes and dreams. I want to share them with someone who is there for me, who reserves a certain part of themselves for me only. Who feels safe enough with me to trust me and share their own thoughts with me.
I have to admit that being single this really is the one thing I miss, and losing that kind of intimacy and companionship is what hurts most after a breakup. Most other stuff comes and goes, sex, fun, etc, but this is the only thing that you can't easily get without a close gf/bf. Then again it's not that easy to find in just any partner, which is why I guess most people are always in search of that 'soul-mate'.

Not if you found the right boyfriendI guess that's the hard part, finding someone who will still let you be you, and wanting it no other way. I let myself change far too much in my last relationship, to the point where I started getting resentful and then insecure thinking that she didn't like me for who I was...that just doesn't work.

That's a very noble desire, the guy who eventually gets you will be very lucky indeed![]()

Too true! Here's my vent for the day...
I have somehow managed since NYE to meet 4 women while out clubbing who I have hit it off with really well. Now this might not seem much to some people, but usually I'm lucky if I meet anyone in months of going out, and now it seems like it's almost every weekend. And it's not like I've been going out to meet someone - usually the opposite, I'm happy to go out with friends and dance and have fun. Now here's the weird part - with each of them we've spent the whole night dancing/laughing/having fun, they have all finished up back at my place in the morning, and then nothing happens![]()
Case in point, on Friday night I was out with work friends, had noticed a very cute girl while dancing who then later sat next to me (actually there was another guy between us) - she lent over and said something like "so, who are you...". Well, same as before, we spent a great night/morning together, she was happy to head back to my place (kind of helps that I live 5 minutes walk from victoria st kings cross) - but then made it clear that she just wanted to hang and sleep the night off. I was so frustrated at this point that I didn't even ask for her number after we had slept for a while and she was leaving - but she offered her number, and now I've got to decide if she was just being polite or really hopes that I'll call. And of course I have to deal with the possibility of getting my hopes up and then getting the 'thanks but no thanks' if I do call - it does suck being single some times!
Anyway, here's a question for the single girls - have you been in these situations? Do you give guys your number just to be nice, and have no real intention of seeing them again (and then have to deal with the constant phone calls) Am I expecting too much from the first night out, or reading too much into it, or simply handling it all wrong...
Well, that's then end of my rant, hope you all found it amusing :D

Nothing just happens buddy, you have to make it happen. If you want something to develop, you have to actually make a move, or else she'll just think you're gay or really friendly but not interested.
If you just want to get laid, then learn to flirt a little. If there hasn't been any exchange of fluids at the club, then don't take her home *expecting* something to just magically happen.
If you like her and want to get to know her better or hang out with her again, call her and ask her out. She clearly is interested or she wouldn't have spent the whole evening hanging out with you.
She's probably writing on some message board right now something like:
I met this really great guy the other night at [Bob's Wicked House of Decks and Ch00nZ], he was really nice and funny, we had a great time and went back to his place afterwards, but nothing happened. He was really sweet but I don't know if he was interested in me at all.
I gave him my number but he hasn't called yet.
What's wrong with me? Why don't guys like me? Am I too fat or ugly or stupid or what? Fuck, I'm so depressed I'm gonna do myself in.

Yeah she might say "thanks but no thanks", but progress involves risk so call her. Take her out Friday night for dinner and drinks or something, I mean, who seriously wants to spend Valentines Day in a club?
I'm not even a girl and I can tell you that girls do not generally just give their numbers to be polite if they don't want you to call. If she thinks you're a complete tosser she won't give you a number or she'll give you a fake one.
Wait at least three days from the night you met or you sound too desperate, and be straight up.
i.e. Hi, this is Joe Bloggs from Bob's Wicked House of etc etc last Friday, how's things? (Pause and listen here) Good to hear, I had a really great time Friday night too and was wondering if you want to catch up again this Friday for dinner/drinks/movie/a shag (Okay, don't say the last one unless you're me).
If she says yes, then come back and tell us all about it. If she says no, delete her number, punch something hard and move on.
Be polite regardless of the answer and end the call in a pleasant and cordial manner.
What are you staring at? GO! Do this NOW!

Hux - Girls make good friends too, does it have to be gf or nothing? Maybe she got your number to make new friends. Or maybe she would like to get to know you better before you get it on. Call her.
