Aptly chosen portraits! But arent these the advice just about everyone and their grandma tell you though? Do ppl listen? no and yet i've never seen these advices deviate. (OMG I learned all this through geek culture too! Epiphany! )
Only thing is this Don't force something if you're already happy with the way things are. I see this far too often where the childhood friend scenario or the unrequited love scenario (geek cultural reference and prior to the inevitable happy ending :S).
Sure its true once your in a relationship but not so much if its never started to begin with. You can be happy being friends forever, but take it from me, you die a little in the end. Especially when years later, her facebook picture isn't with you and your arm wrapped around her... excuse me while i shed a tear in my corner.

Never understood this kissing at new years BS, must be an American thang.
See, problem for me is London girls tend to be chavvy, swallow and all that lovely teenage girl stuff which makes them rather boring and annoying, if you ask me.
Also, I'm not really the cream of the crop myself, emotionally nor physically.
You might have been a later bloomer to relationships because of that wicked manstache.

I gleamed most of my rules of love through media as well. Was I one of those late bloomers? Why, no, not really, it's just I chose not to involve myself with those that might be detrimental to the future. Those that smoke and drink and what not. And I was much too introspective to put myself out there for various balls and dances.
And so, with years of rules in my belt, I thought if I got the chance, if I just got that one chance, I could be the best. I wouldn't make those mistakes that happen in media, and I would try to make everything work.
And...
It didn't.
I'd blame inexperience, had that tip of "Don't bloody rush" and "Be honest with yourself" not been there. Would this have helped back then? No, I don't think so. I'd still think it was still working, just not as well as I had expected.

D'awwww muffin! That was a very sweet read. I'm so mixed up on what's right and wrong in a relationship currently, probably because i can handle crowds of up to about 3 or 4 people before i just can't really socialise anymore, meaning many of my relationships are isolating to both parties whether it suits them or not. It's a pity, I suppose i'm happy to be free from relationships and just have a few "Hug Buddies". Developing your Social Links is difficult...hm.
