Oh, and sorry Mimi, but I can’t offer any advice here, considering I’m younger than you, have always been single (and thus never faced with such a situation), aaand you’ve already been given better advice than I could give.
Double-post
I’ll keep you posted though. You’ll probably have some good advice somewhere along the line

Offline If any of you teens want to end up as warped a human being as I am, follow my advice/lead. Don’t even think about dating until you are 28. Concentrate on school, college, and careers until then.
I can’t even imagine dating during my teen years. I wonder what I would have been like if I had even flirted once back then. No, the world doesn’t need to know the answer to that question.

Since my goatherd, aka @Zig, hasn’t arrived, I had another date with The Beatles and Friday Night Whites.It’s been there the whole time, but something really hit me this evening. I never really noticed the urgent, insistent (dare I say manic) “invitation” that John extends in “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me & My Monkey”.
The invitation to “come on, come on, take it easy” and to know (or realize) that it is such a joy to take it easy really popped out at me this go around. I haven’t a clue how to accept John’s invitation.
I never have figured out the art of relaxation. Someone needs to beat this Type A personality out of me.
I wonder if John wanted Paul to take it easy.
I’m more with Ringo – “It Don’t Come Easy”
I never have figured out the art of relaxation. Someone needs to beat this Type A personality out of me.Relaxation is the specialty of this Type A (yours truly). Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void. Relax and float downstream. Take John’s advice. Wow, talk about a Type A who knew how to relax!
Your Friday Night Whites are a great start. Mowing the lawn or any other physical activity while getting lost in the music provides me with much relaxation.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. We have been blessed with a beautiful day with temps in the 70’s and no humidity. Going out soon to do some house hunting and then taking Lily down to the stables to play around with Indy. You know…relaxing.

@Zig, maybe you can help me learn that ability that has eluded me for four and a half decades. Otherwise, perhaps I’ll relax when I join Eleanor Rigby in the churchyard.
Yep, mom says I never knew how to relax even as an infant. People commented on it to her.

Offline @Mimi Why don’t you want to go to that homecoming thing? Is it just that you don’t like dressing up or what is it? It could be loads of fun when you’re with the right people!
@the person who kept mailing his crush but never received an answer: This will sound harsh, but I think you should give up and move on. This girl made clear that she doesn’t see you the same way by ignoring you, and though I think she’s a coward for not telling you straight up, this is a way to show you how she feels. This is her way of saying ”Leave me alone”. Don’t email her again, she’s not worth it and it’ll only make you look desperate, and it won’t solve anything. There are plenty of other girls. Seriously, take my advice, I speak from experience.

Can’t those coming up with these ideas see how much they are going to backfire!! We detest Cameron, Clegg and Milliband and dont trust anything they utter, especially as it now comes across as a desperate last minute attempt to get us to stay as it looks like we might be leaving. It all feels like a husband trying to get his wife to stay after she has packed her bags following years of feeling neglected and is now unable to believe a word he says – and to help his cause he is getting his friends to text her that he really doesnt want her to go.
This is huge news and the American media have hardly said a whisper about it. Tg for BBC America, at least they report on something instead of wasting time on trivial issues like an ex president (George Bush Sr.) did a parachute jump. I mean, 22 minutes of national news and the spend a minute on that? 30 seconds on Prince William’s wife being pregnant? (no offense to you Brits, I know that’s news to you, but from the states, I’d rather know that the UK might split than that a potential distant heir to the throne is in utero – for me, that news could wait).

Offline @Linde Yeah I just don’t like dressing up, I don’t like dancing etc. But I’ve been thinking that maybe I should just grit my teeth and do it. It would probably be good for me. The biggest reason I hesitate is because even if I were to go, I wouldn’t be a very fun date and I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party so to speak

It must be – you come across as a most mellow dude, at least to me 
And a great song that I too often take to heart (or mind).

I don’t like dancing either, but I went to the Christmas dance and it was great! I’m a bit of an introvert as well and I was so scared that I would look ugly and would be sitting on a chair staring in front of me while asking myself what the hell I was doing there but the opposite happened! It’s more fun than you think, really. Why wouldn’t you be a fun date? Don’t be daft.

I doubt I’d be a fun date if the purpose of the date was to dance. It would be like taking a cat on a kayaking trip
But if I can work up the confidence I think I’ll go.

@Mimi I hope you do find the confidence since it is obvious you like the boy as you’re so seriously thinking about doing something you’d normally run a mile from.
If an old fart could offer some advice from my many years, whether This Boy or another, as you get older you will realise that relationships are all about compromise. Sometimes they will want to do things that you have no real interest in, but you will say yes because they matter to you; other times you will want to do things that they have no interest in, but they will say yes because you matter to them. You need that for any relationship to work, but also to discover things you might enjoy more than you think as you’d usually avoid them.
Some of the things I’ve enjoyed most over the years, I’ve gone grumbling along to convinced I’d have a crap time but wanting to make someone else happy, but found myself having the most fun despite what I’d told myself.
The important thing is to try and avoid convincing yourself that you’re going to hate it whatever, and that it’ll be a bad date, because then there’s every chance it will be. If you go, go with an open mind, telling yourself you’re going to see how it goes. Then you give yourself the chance to enjoy the evening for what it is, rather than what you think it will be ahead of it.
For all you know, This Boy may not have much interest in the dancing himself, but is just seeing as a good excuse to ask you on a date and to spend time with you. I’m no dancer either, but have been to plenty, got away with one or two dances, and spent the rest of the evening entertaining the girl I was with. I’ve even gotten away with no dancing at all. It’s not about what it’s called, but who you’re with.

Offline I’m going to bring down the whole mood but hey-ho thats what i will do.
Its strange that for years someone is around and you get used to it and so you make little effort to speak to them or whatever, they might be twenty minutes or twenty hours away but you think they will be around tomorrow so you make little effort, putting it off until tomorrow or doing it every so often but more out of the feeling of having to. As time goes by we get a little bit older and a little bit slower. Its only when something happens, possibly good, usually bad, that every brings around a phone call or reason to connect for a brief moment before it normally goes back to normal and the days become weeks which becomes months. Its nothing to feel guilty about, its life and life goes on for all. But not always.
Its strange phoning someone up or them phoning you every day or week and then suddenly that is no longer possible. Its not a very nice reality, in fact its pretty shity.
I have no point to this just my ramblings.
Actually i do. The second is harder long term but better.
And i know what thread this is.

@Zig (or anyone else who wants to chime in), did John really know how to relax or did he know how to use drugs and alcohol to numb the pain and take his mind off stuff/things?

Offline @meanmistermustard My friend, we understand and are there for you. There is nothing wrong with the way you are feeling, and nothing wrong with sharing. It’s part of the grieving process. I should imagine that following your Grandfather’s death there was the hustle and bustle of making arrangements, and that can kind of numb the impact – your mind distracted and not being at home. Now that you are back home, the mind starts to take on the loss.
Like you say, it is things like realising that phone number no longer has a purpose, that it no longer leads to the voice you would so like to hear.
We are never ready, and it always takes time to adjust.
You will get to the place where it hurts less, and feel free to rant and rave here anytime you want. You will always find those willing to offer what comfort we can.
