Well I did it. Should have known better.

It's something like that, yes. People tend to be more "open" online, and show more of themselves in the relative anonimity of the internet. But it's a 2-way street. They are more open to have the things happening on the internet influence their feelings and moods as well.

People who are nice and shy in real life can have quite a temper when they're on the internet, becoming more sensitive to things influencing their mood, whether it's positive or negative, and act more primal upon their feelings, while they'd usually stay cool in real life.

Many times people {females usually} are too damn clingy and in the end windup getting hurt. Back off, let the guys breathe and maybe, just maybe it will last longer.

You're very easy to please.

i found taking a week or so away from sl and keeping my mind busy really helped a lot with things like this..load up on many positive things and lots of humor..like stand up comics and older favorite movies that inspire you..

or books that have motivated you..be selfish right now and regain you..
when down or depressed or after a breakup..i know things can be really hard..but you have to force the opposite things on you so that you can remind yourself of who you really are..

there is always some humor out there that will put a smile on the saddest face of someone that thinks they can't give a laugh..once you start to laugh or smile..you put a little positive back in your life..get addicted to the giggles and smiles..
when you are feeling better down the road..you will be a little stronger than before the hurting began

i hope you feel better real soon

Why aren't you returning my calls?

C'mon.. don't let anyone else know about us.


But you know I always do when it comes to you, Pudding Pop.

And what about when the guy is the one being clingy and not letting the girl breathe?

You kick him in the nuts so he gets up off of you.

This is why I abandoned my first avatar, nearly did the same again on this avatar, and one of the reasons why I still take regular breaks.
I still don't know how to put it any more polite in my profile that I'm not looking for anything steady or regular, and that there's no need to start a conversation every time you see me online.
If we hang out - we hang out. If you don't see me at the hangout spot, then don't bother looking for me. I'm not your on-demand girlfriend, nor your on-demand sexdoll. I'm actually not on-demand at all. On SL I can take things as they happen, I have no interrest in making them happen. Even less in others trying to make things happen for (read: with) me.

It does make sense.

You would be surprised..

Thank you Lil it is a 2 way street I think with the clingy.....

But if it is meant to be it will win out.

Pretty sure it was a guy as the one posting about a broken heart, here, and the girl is the one who walked away. Be a little less sexist next time.

Why is love in SL like a camping honeymoon?

Pep (They are both two in tents.)

PS Say it fast.

Didn't have to say it fast. I saw the joke marching down the hill.

Jax at least you are having a quick turnaround.

Sorry to hear it Jax but like RL hearts are broken and seem to mend in time.

Oh no! Not at all cold. It may be difficult for the OP to slow down though - so my advice is to try and change direction. Take a little turn to everyones's satisfaction.

Intensely opposing intentions, more often than not.

Ricardo is just jealous because he hasn't met anyone who would actually want to cling on him.

Sexist remarks in SL don't really amaze me I'm afraid. I've seen quite a lot of them.
"Miffy Fluffy must be a guy, a woman could never code something like MLP/XPose" was the most blatant one I ran into. (Miffy Fluffy happens to be a guy, but that's beside the point, he could've been a woman anyway)

Just take a look at how people look at builders and scripters overall, almost everybody referring to the writer of a script or the builder of something big will refer to "the guy who scripted this" or "the guy who build this". I hear these assumptions slightly less often about furniture, clothes and jewelry makers though. And it's almost accepted that "most shape makers are women", while I have no idea about the validity of that assumption either.

Im...not implying that you're cold or that your advice is improper. I was just commenting that it can be a lot harder for him to slow down than he might suspect.

Way to go! That is one of the most devastating presentations of an argument that I have ever seen in these forums.

Pep (is not sure that it achieved the poster's intentions though. )

Minority advice: Jax, why are you wasting your time posting here? If you concentrate on your inworld efforts, by Christmas you could have had six full blown relationship cycles.

Pep (Learning by experience is much more effective than theoretical tuition. )

LOL.

In SL, it is often the guy that is too clingy.

And that is my experience over the years, and why i generally avoid them.

Gorean men excluded of course

I have had the oposite experience. More than once I have had a guy seem to think he owns me because we danced together one time.

I did not see your post yet when I replied.
