And, as an afterthought...
...what the hell does ffs mean anyways??

for <expletive>'s sake--it actually originated as something snarky to say to naiive n00bs who wouldn't get it. As did the terms n00b. Funny ol' world, innit?

Ah! I gettit. I'm schmart.

well I've been a member for yonks and I didn't get it!!!

I googled it a few years ago on another forum, to be honest.

Look for the smart, shy, sweet, nerdy boys. They can most often be found in libraries, comic book shops, and computer centers. They are the ones who treat a girl the best because they feel so lucky to have you!

YEY FOR THE SMART SHY SWEET NERDY BOYS!!! Can they wear emo glasses and write poetry and have black smexyful hair, too?

The only ones worth having do!

::laughs because all that describes her fiancee perfectly::

I've never found that to be true. All the girls I know go for the gits.

*sniffles*

I must admit I agree with Little bear. I always go for aceholes!!! It's a real pain in the bum

Aww...last night I had a dream about the "perfect" guy. I must've been influenced by you-all and your ideas...YEY FOR HAWT, SMART, SHY, SWEET, NERDY, BLACK-HAIRED, EMO-GLASSES-WEARING GUYS NAMED LANE!!! The funny thing is, I actually KNOW a guy named Lane...And he's awesome.

Could be a sign.

When I was young I had serious trouble finding anyone to go out with, then the women started to get older and discovered that trying to tame the rebellious types ('rebellious' being a romanticised term for 'git') just wasn't worth the effort because often they were rebelling because they didn't know how to do anything else. Admittedly 'nice guys will be able to get dates quite easily in five years time' isn't much of a compensation, but it is true!

I've always known that 'nice guys always win out' was true, but to paraphrase Max Payne, life's never a cliché when it's happening to you.

im terribly sorry if this sounds rude...

but how is anyone to know what real love is??

your definition may be different from anyone elses

12 year olds can be in love i suppose if its love to them

Gah!

*claps hand to forehead*

Sorry, but I don't want to stir up the hornets nest again. Sorry. I think it best if I didn't reply. Again, my apologies.

If you want to blitz - just PM me your MSN stuff and we can despair together.

Again with the whole love not being in enough abundance for almost anyone to experience it.

But is it the fact that it's not in abundance or moreso that most people haven't gone through enough experiences in order for it to become love?

Yes, as age varies, so do your views on just about everything. And while some may be attributed to hormones and random "teenness" I think a lot of it has to do with experiences you share with that person and how you both (on an individual as well as a collective basis) deal with it. That is how we gain maturity and ultimately how we can distinguish puppy love from lasting love.

For instance, you can have a crush on a person when you're younger, and a good number of the times it will be nothing more than that because it's a surface affection. But given the chance to get to know this person, through good as well as bad times, gives you a chance to see them for who they are. Again, because our choices are not the most informed when we are younger (myself being one of the worst offenders possible), we may not like who that person is. However, sometimes we do, and that emotion, be it puppy love or whatever, can grow and evolve from there.
