Wow. That would definitely freak me out.

Wow. That's a tough decision to make. Be there for your friend in case he needs to talk.

WHAT??? Tell him I had 2,358 lovers? Never...........

Just Kidding..............

Crick has a point there.

Vampire lover here.......

Yes! Thinking about that just gave me chill bumps.

Seems like this has happened in my life several times. I'll share a story.

A few years ago, I was talking with a female friend about another friend, whom had moved away. I wanted to know what had happened to him.
She asked me if I knew any of his friends I could ask. I didn't. All his friends lived in other states, or other areas of the state, and I did not have their phone numbers.
It was Thanksgiving morning, and we had plans to go to my mother's for the day. We didn't feel like going anywhere, and decided to stay home.
A few hours later, there was a knock at the door. It was a work friend of the guy we were wondering about! Now, the funny thing about this is, the visitor lived 9 hours away...and was just passing through to visit relatives. My girl friend and I looked at each other and got chill bumps. Wild!

Has it happened to you? Do you believe in synchronicity? Random, seemingly unrelated coincidences that occur in life?

Those moments that make you feel like you just stepped into the Twilight Zone?

I agree with you, but sometimes plans may be made with other parties that may put the person you intend to leave in an embarrassing situation if you suddenly disappear. I'm not saying to keep your intentions secret, if the relationship is on the rocks, the other party will usually know that anyway. I just think one should end it prior to the holiday or after..... not so close to the holiday, or right on the holiday, as to have that person associate the break up with it.

Have you expressed your irritation with him? Or have you kept it inside hoping he'll figure it out? You need to be direct and let him know these behaviors are not working for you, and tell him what you need. Give him a chance to work on it...or see if he is even willing to do so. As Lilith said, his response will tell you a whole lot. Maybe, he has limited relationship experience.

What is odd about this board, is that some people experience absolutely nothing with it.....but others encounter some bizarre experiences. I used one many years ago, and as Madame said, there's some pretty scary things that can occur.

I read a book once that explained alot of things about the Ouija board. It scared the sh*t out of me...not to mention some of the things I saw for myself. I also threw mine away after.

I would be sensitive to whether the holiday was important for them before making that decision. There is nothing worse than having a painful memory tied to a major holiday.....

Yes, Gypsy, but it gets expensive flying somewhere every weekend..... trains not always available..... and gas prices are ridiculous to take a 12 hour drive..........

It's hard to take a potential relationship to the next level if desired, when there is alot of distance between you. Once you do take that step, LDR are extremely difficult. Some people just don't have the mind-set to operate that way. Relationships need nurturing, and that includes spending a reasonable amount of face time together.
There are many lonely moments to endure if the person is very far away...like another state. At some point, one of the two parties will need to move or the relationship may stagnate.

I always remember my SO birthday. My last relationship lasted 4 years and I NEVER received a card or anything on my birthday. I think I received a phone call once.
It is thoughtful if someone remembers...shows they care.

Hilarious and true!

Yes. I would and I have.

What 3 things Waterloo?

That's right.

Upland, you're right. I did not mean for the list to appear that all nice guys have these qualities. Real men and real nice guys have many more admirable qualities. These are just qualities that alot of guys have, who classify themselves as nice and may not realize they come across that way.
