My Toronto Exchange Thread [ P | R ]

I turn 24 on Saturday. Tonight I made out with a 44 year old married Greek woman who claims to have 7 boyfriends. Just keep that in mind while you pine away for this one girl. Even if you convince a girl to marry you, there's no guarantee, it's all about her emotions. If her emotions attract her to some guy one night and he has some game, guess what: your wife just got ****ed. Seriously. Marriage is very over rated.

did you try the old 'spill half the bag of popcorn and rest it on your crotch and wait until she digs in for some' move? if not, then no, that doesn't count as a date.

We didnt even get popcorn

Nah, I'd rather have one person I know then some other random girl. And I dunno if marriage is overrated, but since I broke up with my girlfriend almost two years ago, I don't really have any desire to marry much. I'll be happy if I end up single but it'd be nice to find someone too. And sometimes it just doesn't work out, for you and the person. You wanna be with Australian girl but if you get together, maybe you'll just be dissapointed or you two won't work out with. My last girlfriend I broke up with, she's still one of my best friends and was before so I still love her lots but she's a friend and not someone I wanna marry.

Oh and it's not a date I guess if you take her to the cinema, I've taken my friends to movies when there was just one, it depends on how you ask.

I must say that the Babes Forum is really helping me thru these tough times.

What the hell is wrong with you?!

Take the subway downtown and enjoy some nightlife FFS. Set yourself free. A good time out = who's her?

Good advice.

See a hockey game at the ACC if you have enough money Robbie, even if you don't like the sport now, hockey's really changed in the last few years and it's a lot more exciting and girls are really into the Leafs, maybe you'll meet someone.

Well I've got the sister of the husband of the cousin of my dad, so maybe I'll get in touch with them to do smthing.

Meh.....

How the hell are you getting all this spare time in university. I'm in over my head with lab reports and assignments and studying for mid terms next week. I'll get it all done but don't have time to do anything except go on SG for a sec and maybe call or e-mail someone. I'm lucky I don't have facebook or myspace or anything.

Robbie, you want women, head over to church & jarvis, lots of women there lol. On a more serious note, just hit up some parties, pub nights, bars etc...there are women everywhere, its York ffs man!!!

Here's something I hope you learn early on in University... you are taking it way too seriously. It is much more about learning how to be a grown up than it is about studying.

I know, I'd go to some other university if I wanted that. We get a lot of assignments here though plus the readings. It's just like an extension of high school. I grew up enough in high school so screw it, I'll just try to get above the 65% avg here.

Seconded. 80% of my works I have in univ I take them into chilling . Surely shouldn't be like that...but guess what...second year right now...6 in 8 done, and had the best year of my life in terms of living my life.

This can be a long story, and a little off-topic...

Actually, this year was one of the best, but in the same way one of the worst...

Best why? I met fantastic people in this university...people I never thought they would be so important in my life...I went to the most awesome parties, like I never though...(there in the island I lived for 18 years things are pretty much slow when it comes to people and party)...went to see great matches in full-packed stadiums...saw MUSE live (probably the best day of my life)...I was in a totally different world...

Worst why? Girl which I was close to dating (after 3 months of trying) screwed on me and totally ate a guy the same day, 1 day before the Academic Week. I had a great Academic Week, I went to all the days, beer, beer, beer, concerts till' dawn...but could have been so much better. 2 days later, I started running (as I weighted 72 kg there), studying, thinking to myself "If I want a great summer, I'll have to work hard and overcome everything in the way".

The same day...my dad died from pulmonar edema. I had to go all the way back to the island, leaving the studies in full-stop for 1 week, supporting the family and stuff. I was totally destroyed from those 2 weeks, physically and mentally.

Still, exams were coming in a week, and I could not stop. Came back to Univ, and as I go out of home to go to class...all my close friends (about 10) are outside to give me surprise comeback...it meant so much.
Guess what? I did everything on exams, and I felt happy for that. I did some personal projects that I admire today (my blog for example, even though it is in portuguese) I lost 9 kgs in less than two months thanks to some hard work...the summer started in a camp, and it was the best week of my life. The summer just felt so good when I came back to the island...still, I almost never had time to my friends...my family still needs me.

Sorry by the long story, but take me as example. I came out from nowhere, unprepared for Univ works and stuff. My adventure can almost be an "exchange", as coming out from an island to the real world can be a pain. It was. After a year, I feel that I have grown more in this year that in the past 3/4 years. What I did was taking everything day-by-day, enjoying every moment, never stop living. If you want to cry, cry. If you want to laugh, laugh. Just do it...

Having trouble with girls? Same here. After my I broke up with my ex (only ex) two years ago, nothing goes right with girls. Had some things and flirts with some girls...but never went to something serious, and I do want something serious right now. Who knows, maybe it's coming, at least for me. Girls are hard, period, but if they are not the best around, then someone kill me. It's better than FM, biatch Like someone said, good time around = who's her? I don't like that kind of things, but hell yeah, it's a great advice, been there.

What can I say to you? Just live that year. An exchange is to adquire knowledge...but not the knowledge of the books. The knowledge of life.

Sorry for the long post

And I'm fine, thank you. (for now)

That's the shizzle right there. An exchange should be an all-out adventure Robbie my friend. You are seeing another part of the world, you should be spending every minute of your free time discovering new things, practices, fun, methods, whatever it may be. You won't be here forever, so why not just forget the drama and enjoy life in Canada? Drama will follow, no matter where you are, so go out and have some fun for now, try as many new/different things as you can. It's the way of life.

Haha, Toronto, Australia, I dunno if he's from a big city in Australia or what but not much of a difference.

Like almost everyone has said here earlier, you should just let it go for now and move on. hit the clubs with your friends and meet other girls. I'm in a similar situation over in the US, but I decided that I'm gonna let it go and focus on other girls. if somewhere along the way the situation arises with this girl I want, I'll take it, but I'm not dwelling on it, no sir.

just have fun, don't focus too much on your studies, just enough so you don't fail, experience new things, go to school events, parties, clubs etc. you'll meet more people and you'll get more out of this whole exchange program

I am very glad to hear that O-Car. I don't know if this is common SG knowledge, but 3 months ago I ended a relationship with a girl I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. It sucked, but I went on with my life, and ignored the pain. I could be in pain for years (as others have proven), or I could distract myself with other women. I'm on a major hot streak right now. I made out with some girl on a dance floor for like 45 minutes tonight. Is it the same as having sex with a girl I love? Absolutely not, but I'm getting over it, and the world will be right again soon. I've got a couple girls who are all about ShiftyPowers now, and a prospective girlfriend (she's all about it, I'm not so sure if I want to commit); all it has taken so far with her? A meeting, where we talked for an hour at the most, a couple phone calls, and one date, which was less than an hour. It doesn't take much to distract yourself, or to interest another girl. Seriously. But you can't be hung up on the past, because you will sabotage yourself before anything happens.
