Pretty much. Damn word should be abolished from the english language.Exphate said:In otherwords - the l word is off limits unless prior permission is granted?
Are you implying that this is you ?lengy said:Yeah but it's sorta unfortunate as relationships tend to be based off communication and when you don't it sort of fails. If you're the kind of person who's content with not going out all week, not seeing anyone all week, or talking to anyone then it's sort of hard to find someone of similar lifestyle.
I believe that true friends are those who call you even when there is no purpose. if someone only calls me when he/she needs something from me (like hw) or wants to say something 'important', i'd be highly disappointed.lengy said:Exactly. I don't get people who call for reasons other than that unless they really needed comforting for some emotional trauma where I couldn't see them in person.
Rofl, whirlpool of fear. Yeah thats a shitter when you discover that in a relationship, usually too late.tlodg said:it's easy to fall into that whirlpool of fear thinking "omg, why does this person only call me when he/she wants something? I hope it can be something as random as 'look, today I saw an electric pole with red stripes and it sorta reminded me that I have to do my laundry real quick'..... sharing these things that might seem trivial could make you feel a bit closer to your friend, as if you can talk about anything and not worry about boring him/her. u won't have to bear the burden of having to squeeze out some interesting stuff "you did today" in order to communicate/interact.

The fine line with this in relationships is that being a listener usually puts you into the friends category, whereas the quick active chat seems to initiate a more 'hey i want to get into your pants' thing. And not talking at all well, there are people who enjoy that, the unsaid is almost as powerful as what is, and if you can find someone who enjoys just sitting there and knowing what is going on and what shit means, then thats as valid as those that are explicit.
I don't get it..?AsyLum said:I think its difficult to gauge when someone is a good listener and likes you and when someone is a good listener and is a friend, and more times than not, most people end up being the latter because of the trust which kinda grows from it. Thats probably why its not a popular path.
that's true..AsyLum said:I mean that a good listener is sometimes hard to pick up where their intentions are I guess
Since they don't really say much haa
