If Viggen can get a date, maybe there is hope for the rest of us.  My nom's wedding is today. I decided to bring someone from a forum that I'm on as a date. I've never met him before. This could get interesting.

Bucephalus posted:You brushed it aside nonchalantly, but I'm on to you. I bet you're not even a goatse guy. I would have taken Viggen just for shits and giggles but he lives too far away. My date ended up being a super cool dude. I was worried that he might be a total weirdo, but my family loved him and he was extremely tolerant of both them and me. I ended up being a drunk mess like usual and ended up crying to him about being sexually assaulted a few weeks ago. I'm a pretty awful first date.

meatpimp posted:Yep, you're one of us. Let's see: -the wedding date -a date where we only talked about a shared favorite band. I never got his name. -a date who was 18 (I'm 26) -a date where I got too drunk and played footsie with a guy who was not my date -a date where I had to cut out early because my ex-boyfriend texted me a suicide note -a date where he called me out for checking out another guy I'm sure there's more, but most of them involve getting too drunk to even remember the dumb poo poo I do. I'm sensing a pattern in some of my bad dates.

InitialDave posted:I still don't really get why you had to have a date for the wedding. What's wrong with going on your own? Because my self-worth is based on having a man on my arm. Seriously though, I didn't need a date but it's way more fun that way. My family is extremely lame.

Rhyno posted:drat, now I want to be single again just so I can try and one-up some of that terrible date material. I have no doubt that you can do better. My first dates are either all terrible, or they end up being so boring that they're forgettable. Very few of them are actually good.

rscott posted:Well I mean the only thing that prevents me from succumbing to my own ennui is smoking myself stupid enough not to care on a daily basis so I understand that I'm about at the point where I'm ready to try that. I've been trying to pick up the pieces of my life and put them back together but it's not working very well. I was doing really well before it happened. I was really happy. I had two jobs that I loved, some friends, and a grand plan in life. Now I just feel lost, lonely, broken and confused.

Devyl posted:Sounds like it's time to find a new focal point in life. Try a new hobby; or if it's an option, move to a new place and start over. I still have my dealership job and I love it too much to give it up, and I have more than enough hobbies to keep me occupied. I have a place to live and a family that loves me too. I just have a lot of days where I'd rather throw myself off of a bridge because someone I thought of as a friend drugged me and assaulted me. I don't think anything will ever fix that.

I'm back. I saw a counselor, went to some AA meetings, and went out of town over the weekend to hang out with a friend so I'm feeling pretty good right now.

Rhyno posted:I almost reached out to you on FB but I figured you left SA for a good reason. I'm glad you are back and feeling better. I was surprised and touched with how many people did reach out to me. I really hosed myself over in my meltdown. I'm going to recover, but I managed to blow a significant chunk of my savings on partying and traveling, did irreversible damage to my liver, and ruined at least a couple of friendships.

blk posted:Renting in my town sucks. 99% of it is student garbage and every 6-12 months, when an affordable, reasonable quality home comes up, it's a shitstorm of 150 applicants and it's off the market in 30 minutes. I'm top of the list for one now, but they want a year lease and I might be getting a part or full time job offer in a different city the next few months. My current place sucks balls and my landlady wants to move back in soon, so I need to find a good situation soon, but the liability of a lease is huge. This is why I live with my parents. I live in a college town and the rental market is hosed. My dealership just took in a Raptor on trade. I wonder what the chances are of my boss letting me borrow it for a weekend.

Another chapter in goatse guy's hosed up life!  In the beginning of 2006, I met a guy. He was brilliant and we meshed together really well. We dated for a couple of years, and everything was golden for a while but he eventually took a downward slide. The caring man I knew was replaced by a sullen, moody one prone to fits of anger and jealous rage. It took me a while to break up with him because I was more afraid of the consequences of leaving than those of staying, but eventually I managed to leave him behind. He seemed to calm down a lot after we broke up. We eventually got to the point where we could be on good terms again. We went out to dinner every couple of months and texted back and forth to check in on each other. The last time I saw him was in January, and the last time we texted was February or March. No one has heard from him in a month. I only knew that something was amiss when I received two letters from the sheriff, one stating that he was going to be evicted and the other saying that his landlord was holding an estate sale of all of his property this week. He was laid off from his job a year ago, and slowly withdrew from everything in life. He left town sometime between January and now, and left almost everything he owned behind. I have no idea where he might have gone, or how far he would have gotten in his beat-up Frontier. I'm going to pick up some of his personal effects from the house and meet with his family this weekend, and it's tearing me apart inside. We broke up three years ago and it ended really badly, but I still care a lot about him and am concerned for his safety. I don't even know if he's still alive. On the bright side, I also get to hang out with my e-bff this weekend. It's not all terrible.

CharlesM posted:Yikes, sorry, hopefully everything turns out well. After talking it over with some friends, I've realized that I shouldn't be involved in this. I feel really awful about his disappearance, but I don't want to be around if they find him. I want him to get into treatment and get better, but I need to keep moving on with my life so I can't be the one helping him. I can't help feeling like a selfish prick though when I say that I can't be the one to help him.

My ex-fiance's mother emailed me this morning to tell me that he had called her, and that he's never felt happier, so I am happy for him. I took a page from his crazy book and did something impulsive. The last year of living in North Dakota and northern Minnesota has been depressing as gently caress, so I quit my job and I'm moving back to Minneapolis this weekend.

BrokenKnucklez posted:Jobs aren't everything. When I told my job I wanted to return to the ranks they told me to get lost and never think of a promotion for the company. I put a lot into my jobs because there was nothing else to do here. The dealership job was important to me because I was single, friendless, and without a hobby. Now I'm going to have things to do and people to see. some texas redneck posted:Id you've never seen Streetlight live... I have, many times!

blk posted:It's my birthday today. A year ago I promised myself I'd be out of my poo poo town in a better job with some new skills under my belt annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I'm exactly where I was a year ago, only married and making a little more money. I guess I can't complain but poo poo is getting old. I've been so busy trying to keep everything together that I haven't had much chance to focus on my future; hopefully I can concentrate more on that now. Happy birthday dude! Stop making excuses for why you're living in a town that you hate and move. There is no better time than right now. Don't delay your happiness.
