For the past few months, I've been going through cycles. I find someone who likes me, and I like them, but I still just push them away and am absolutly fine with that. It seems all I want is to know that there is somebody who wants to be with me. Is that cold? Am I wrong for being okay with this?

C'mon...make it clear...without making me ask...cause I'm just too shy to put myself out there like that.

Can we ask them?

Who ate all the bananas?

Watch out for falling pianos.

Indeed it could have...

I seem to come here whenever I want relationship advice, and this community has so far done an excellent job in helping me out. Here we go again...

I have always had a problem asking girls out. I'm the kind of guy who is friends with a girl for a year before asking them out on a date. Even then, I still have trouble. It seems I only do it when there are very obvious signs that point to a relationship.

My problem stems from self-esteem and confidence. I'm always afraid of her saying "no". That's why I wait for a year and a strong signal.

It's not just that too. I always look down the road and what's coming at me. I crave patterns and something like a new relationship just throws me off entirely. A semester of college is ending and another one will begin in less than a month. Another pattern gone and one to pick up. It's at this point I seem to convince myself that though I want a relationship, I can't really handle one. Should I even try at this point of my life? My last relationship started at the end of last winter semester and ended at the start of fall BECAUSE I wanted to focus on school and she wanted more time then I was willing to offer. Should I avoid this until I'm out of school and in a solid job?

My last post for advice was about wanting to love. Well, I found my shot but I am too afraid.

Adobe software has problems in 7. I had the same problem. Best thing to do is right click on the shortcut, click on "Troubleshoot compatibility" and go through the steps. I did that and now my programs run like a charm. The other problems I haven't experienced. I can suggest though to ditch IE and get Firefox.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Why must we always want? I had, but I wanted more. Then I gave up what I had and still want more. It’s frustrating wanting to be loved but not loving anybody.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I thoroughly enjoyed this last chapter. I look forward to the next while Sylar slowly realizes who he is. Reminds me of an old video game where you play a character and then almost at the end you are told you are the most evil person in the galaxy and that your memory/personality was wiped and replaced with false memories. Then you have to choose to return to your evil ways or continue to be a different person.

I saw the movie too. It was ok. There are a lot of inaccuracies though. Mostly time line things like "He wasn't there then" or "That wasn't supposed to happen yet".

Brits have the best Sci Fi shows. Red Dwarf, Doctor Who, the other Doctor Who, Torchwood....

Thank you to everyone who offered advice, on both topics, the one I was looking for and the unintentional one Drew pointed out at the start. You all have given me a lot to think about................

Alright, I will be the first to admit I’m not a huge catch for anyone. I’m not as attractive as I’d like to be and girls aren’t clammering to get with me, but I was told today that I was “Too picky” when it comes to relationships. So here’s my question, if you had the chance to date a girl/guy that you have a mild interest in, someone that you think a relationship wouldn’t last or you find unattractive in some way just enough not to consider to date, would you drop your standards just to give it a try?

My favorite wings are BBQ wings.

I don't understand it either Drew.

I've seen guys treat girls like s*** and the girls just seem to like the guy more because of it. I think I remember an episode of Family Guy that investigated this topic.
