Relationships:

[Czechanada]

Its alright Samuraikoku you'll find someone life always has a way of delivering unexpected results.

Forget the promise of love and romance, for in the grim darkness of the far future there is only Samuraikoku.

You always have Captain Mira if she dumps that Kasrkin.

I have found that the best way to keep a relationship going is to focus on the relationship. Through my current one, I've gained the best friend I could ever ask for.

[Cannot think of a name]

Did she flat out ask you to be more dominant? Or is this some interpretation?

Quite, I broke up with someone once because I always had to think of things to do, whenever I'd ask 'what should we do today' she'd reply 'what do you want to do?' beyond just coming up with an idea regardless. It became very tiring.

It doesn't necessarily mean 'dominant', it could mean proactive.

It makes you go from being in a relationship with someone to being someone's activity director.

Been on both ends of that...I'm not running for saint...

I'v found the best way to keep a relationship going is to find ample time where I don't have to focus on the relationship.

I have asked my friends for advice but there problem is they don't want to hurt my feelings wrong so they don't always give the best advice. So I thought "Hey maybe NSG might give me painfully true and needed answers" But yea I see what your saying. And thank you Campbell for your advice, you seem pretty nice yourself. And she wants me to be more dominant so I am trying for her to make her happy and all.

You're very welcome. Of course, by acting like a gentleman, you could appear more dominant perhaps? Or at least looking out for her, which would definitely earn you some man points. I'm thinking like, taking her into town, and say, getting the door for her, lending her your jacket, helping her cross the street. Of course maybe she doesn't like these things.

Did she flat out ask you to be more dominant? Or is this some interpretation?

And by all means, ask away. I'm taking notes here. But I wouldn't put strategies straight into the field, especially since none of us know your unique position. That's the thing with relationships.
And the Internet in general.

Well actually she did flat out tell me to be more dominant because that's what she likes and then she also told me to take control and all. She said she personally feels a man should dominant a relationship and that's what she likes/is attracted too. And I said ok, but ive been being the nice supportive guy that agrees with what she wants to make her happy so I need to transistion a little bit out of that I guess

I've only had one relationship, it ended in September.

That is quite true, as well. There are simply times when either person has to have their own time. Fortunately, my girlfriend and I have more or less worked that out to where we don't ever have issues with it.

I would date the shit out of a woman who likes garages...um, providing the current one doesn't work out...but there are women out there who like garages. Hell, I had a roommate who would spend an afternoon swapping engines. She was already engaged, though...

Personal time is necessary. It becomes even more important when you live together and see each other all the time.

Then smack her and constantly remind her of her inadequacies. That's dominance all women want.

It totally defeats the purpose of getting any time to yourself.

I've never pretended to enjoy shopping for clothes either.

Hmm...considering this, might I humbly suggest making a rather forceful inquiry regarding her pants and why they are still on.

You are truly an awesome and lucky(Although luck may not be the right term, but I'll use it for now) individual, Spree.

[Ethel mermania]

why would you? i mean its fun to play master every once in a while. but day in and dqy out, if it is not who you are, the relationship will ultimately be unsatisfying to you.

Because out in the real world a little bit of dominating ability helps.

the relationship is not "out in the real world", they are the cocoon that helps you recharge to go out in the real world the next day. The one person i dont compete with is my wife. My kids yes, because i have to teach them to compete in the real world, but my wife, never.

I like the way you think, that might shift focus of me and on to her as well

I think my ABSENCE of a relationship, being longer than my longest one, is noteworthy.

5 years and counting

I can still have time to myself, I'm more than one interest, but then I could have a chick with her own sweet ride who doesn't roll her eyes when I talk about my sweet ride and instead of 'humoring' me and my car she can adjust the brakes because she's tired of my lazy ass pumping the pedal every time we stop. Or if a race comes on I can watch it without anyone going, "How long is this going to be on?" or "Turn it down, the sounds of the engines is driving me crazy..."

I can have alone time without having to have an interest that repels my significant other. Not that I have managed to date someone who doesn't hate most of the shit I'm into, but I maintain it's possible.

that is what i was thinking as well.

Out of curiosity, Stronbollia, is your 'ship long distance?

No idea. Haven't even been alone in a room with a woman so your judgment is worth a hell of a lot more than mine.

You're joking, I hope.

From my humble experiences it works, at least until the woman actually develops character and indepedence(not the crap those feminists claim to have) and that can take them until they are 30 or even longer!

[Bombadil]

..but then I could have a chick with her own sweet ride who doesn't roll her eyes when I talk about my sweet ride..

I'd assume the eye-rolling is at the idea that a VW Combi is a 'sweet ride'..
