I'd just leave it at that then, it sounds like it will be OK, even if he isn't yet FULLY okay with it :)

Does anyone else here who is in a long term relationship, lets say a relationship of 5+ years, miss the newness that comes with a new relationship? The thrill of the chase, the butterflies, all the "firsts", the awkward moments & all? I was just thinking about that today, not in a bad way, but kinda in a nostalgic way. Being in a long-term relationship and knowing someone so well does have it's own pros, but sometimes I really do miss that newness.

So I saw the girl I mentioned forever ago a few days ago... we're on summer break so aren't seeing each other every day any more, but have been in close contact since we left Nicaragua a month and a half ago. I just got down to Daytona Beach for a family vacation, and she has just so happened been here on vacation with HER family, and we ended up being able to go out for frozen yogurt together right before she had to leave. We got it together literally fifteen minutes before.

Apparently, we seemed really into each other because as soon as we left the place my family started questioning me about us.

Honestly, I think I may be in love. I'm not really sure what to do with these emotions, but the longer we're apart the closer we're getting (weirdly enough) and I'll be back in Nica with her by the end of the month.

I suppose I'll talk to her about it then. This is weird for me, but if it works out I will be a happy man.

Awesome man. Honestly and truly best of luck with that. You're one of the coolest guys on the site man, i'm sure things will work out the way you want. Nice guys don't finish last. :beer:

Best wishes from me too, Blarobbarg. Your posted news warmed my heart! "Nice guys don't finish last", indeed. You deserve happiness and I hope you find it with your special girl. :wave:

Not in a 5 year relationship here, but I think I can understand what you're saying. I live with my boyfriend and sometimes I think we get sick of each other, like "Oh, you again" sort of thing when you walk into a room and see them there, lol.

Trying new things together definitely helps and it makes things exciting. I think there are always things you can learn about each other by trying new stuff, whether it be food or doing some new adventurous thing, stuff like that. Spending copious amounts of time alone helps too. Sounds counterproductive, I know, but it's not good to be around each other 24/7.

That's so sweet. I remember when you had mentioned her before! I hope you get somewhere with this girl!

Agreed! Girls don't always want the "bad boy" types... from what I hear from my more experienced friends, they're usually the ones who turn out to be duds.

Sure they do, especially to get the whole "bad boy" stuff out of their system before they move onto someone that they rather be with long term but majority of them will pick up a bad boy at the very least for a fling.

I was never interested in those guys though so I'm sure there are other girls like me out there. Maybe not in the majority but I can't be the only one.

yeah I didn't say every female of course there are going to be exceptions but it certainly seems like a majority.

It isnt that they want a bad boy, they want the qualities a bad boy possesses. "bad boys" are generally confident, speak well, experienced, can protect etc...It isnt that the girl wants to be treated like ****, she just naturally wants all the qualities of an alpha male who can provide for her and a future baby.

A guy can be a nice and get dicked over because he doesnt posses those qualities I mentioned above. I know (not many) guys that are all those things and some of the nicest dudes in the world. They actually do better than the "bad boys" who have the same qualities but are aholes.

Think of it like this...guys dont like sluts why? because they give away sex so easy to everyone so when you get it, its not special. Overly nice guys are like emotional sluts. They dont know this girl so why are they giving away this respect and kindness so easily when it isnt earned by the girl.

Thanks guys! I'm hoping for the best! I appreciate the kind words! :)
