i read the post on "detachment" within a relationship and i believe i need to work on not being so enmeshed in relationships. not just with my family but with a wonderfully special and dear man i had the pleasure of meeting online a few months ago. we've finally taken it to the next level having spent quality time together and the L-Hill song "you're too good to be true" playing as i'm typing says very clearly how i feel about him. with that said its that same intense attraction that has pushed men away in the past. i'm really in my head in relationship and knowing that i don't want to allow my emotions to get the better of me here. i've had two moments of emotional panic that i didn't let him in on but my friends were like..."you need to calm down" and their right so i'm going to try and keep trying. i haven't been in a serious relationship in a while and this one, as new as it is, seems to have more potential than any of the "best" ones i've had in the past so we'll see and i'll keep folks "posted"... :)

My girlfriend wanted me to take this dare. I'm not sure why, but it was important to her, so I will do it! I have only known her for about two weeks and I asked her to be my girlfriend (It's an internet romance)just about a week ago. I'm really happy with her, she is a great girl who seems to be genuinely interested and concerned about me. I'm a much happier person because she is in my life.

I sent my girlfriend a teddy bear and a dozen red and white roses Yesterday, and they arrived today. She was very surprised and happy to get them. She said they were lovely and that she enjoyed them very much. She said she put some pictures of the roses and bear on Facebook, but I haven't had time to look at them yet. I will look at them later.
It worked out pretty good for me to, because I got a nice love letter (my first one) from her today in my email. I'm really lucky, she is such a sweet and supportive girl.
More later...

Ok, my daily update for the relationship is that all is going well. I'm really happy that we seem to be getting better every day in our relationship. I think we made major progress recently when we really opened up to each other and are keeping the lines of communication.
I have to admit that at first I was really grumpy and mean to her when she would ask about certain topics. I feel that I have gotten much better about that. I did tell her I was sorry for being a jerk and said that she should be able to tell me anything or ask me anything without fear of me being an ass to her. And I think things have gotten a bit better since then. But I'm sure I can still make some progress.
I have expected there to be some problems because it has been 11 years since my last girlfriend. So, I'm really used to being a bachelor and enjoying my privacy. It will just take some time to get out of those old bad habbits. The good news is that my girlfriend is really cool and understanding about it. That makes it so much easier to open up and talk about things. :)
By mrhuckins on November 6, 2009 at 05:35 AM
My girl is awesome. I enjoy her so much. I was working out this morning and she called THREE times during my workout to say good morning to me. I didn't answer the phone, cuz I didn't want to lose momentum. But I could feel her thinking about me....
By Toinkey on November 7, 2009 at 05:25 PM

By Toinkey on November 7, 2009 at 04:43 AM

I know guys are supposed to take initiative, but I have always had trouble with that, just lack of confidence I guess. Girls do take the initiative, but you miss out on a lot of great girls and great experiences when I am too scared to take the first step. I am fed up with it, and need to start anew. I have no problem getting dates when I throw myself out there, I just have become complacent. I will keep updates on here. If anyone has any positive advice, feel free to post!
By mrhuckins on November 3, 2009 at 10:36 AM
I think the trick is in not caring what the outcome is when you approach a girl. It gives an "aura" of confidence that girls really pick up on. Plus if you get rejected, your feelings don't get hurt. It's a win-win technique.

I think I am falling in love with a girl who has a boyfriend.
I'm getting my Associates degree and she was in one of my classes and we hung out and I wanted to ask her out, but for some reason I chickened out, the first time that has ever happened. Usually I am able to go up to any girl and ask her out, but this girl is kinda intimidating.
I hang out with her all the time and we flirt, have a great time and I am not sure what do you.
I told her I was going to ask her out, but chickened out and she was like oh you should have. I would have totally went out with you and I would not be in this situation that I am in.
By Anonymous on September 23, 2009 at 10:24 AM
I am in the same situation. I am starting to fall for a guy who has a girlfriend. I have known him since I was 18 years old and we just reconnected about a year ago after I had a bad break up. I haven't seen or talked to him in 5 years.
I am having such trouble about what to do. I feel like we would click together and I want to have that chance. Just don't know how to approach it seeing as how he has a girlfriend.
By JetFlow34 on September 9, 2009 at 01:49 PM
Today was sort of strange but so far observing my situations, despite being in the same class with my dream girl 80 minutes a day so far all I can do is observe for the last 5 days. Hopefully the right time will come when we'll eventually work together. One step at a time, I'm gonna do everything not to let my dream and hope die.
By MilesOcean on September 11, 2009 at 08:44 AM
Guy, I am going to tell you this: If you like her, just talk to her. Don't try to wait for the chance to work together because I have been down that road and it did not end well. I even asked the teacher to put us together for that project, but it ended up in disaster, so just ask her out or at least talk to her.

Hi - I'm new to this particular dare, I'm wondering what it's all about, aside from the obvious dare title :)
By nando726 on August 27, 2009 at 02:07 PM
I have met a "SUPERWOMAN". More later.
By mmbarnes21 on August 25, 2009 at 09:50 AM
Hey All! I'm new to this site, just started taking dares last week. I'm trying to move on with my life after a 3 year relationship. I'm very excited to be meeting new people, though it is hard with the amount of hours that I work. I'm looking for someone kind and genuine, looks aren't all that important to me, I'm looking for someone who's handsome on the inside. Wish me luck...or send me an email, even better!
By starsparkler on August 23, 2009 at 01:32 PM
well i don't know where i should be right now. daring to start a new relationship or working on the old one. this s really really hard for me. i am sooooo confused. i am however working on myself. i am alone in this world, no work, no vehicle because i sold it and just flat frustrated.
By x0breeXcore0x on February 9, 2009 at 06:36 PM
My fiance broke off the wedding less than 3 months ahead of time. I've been on an emotionally roller coaster since. My goal for the time being is to move on and gain confidence to trust again.
By lovelylady53 on April 18, 2009 at 02:56 PM
good plan! I had to start over after 16 years of marriage, and it was one of the most enlightening things I ever did! Often people fall out of love, but there is always tomorrow.
By KyashiAmara on August 12, 2009 at 09:11 AM
I started over 4 months ago after a 10 yr relationship. It was the very best thing that happened. Who knew that was possible lol. Keep your chin up girl!
By tarakim on January 23, 2009 at 09:04 AM
Let's see.. since high school, it has been one failed relationship after another.. I'm all about chemistry and when I actually hit it off with someone I don't play the mind games, etc. I used to just casually date guys and be fine with it but as I've gotten older, I've been looking for something more than a booty call.. but it's like every guy that I am genuinely attracted to something always goes wrong.. The last douchebag I was dating broke it off through a TEXT MESSAGE saying that he misses his ex girlfriend and that he is sorry, 3 freaking hours after I left his house in the morning, 3 freaking hours after we made plans for the weekend and him telling me not to flake on him!!!!!! like WHAT THE HELL?!?!?
By lovelylady53 on April 18, 2009 at 02:57 PM
well sounds like it is better that it happened now and not down the road a ways. I keep saying, just keep moving forward, those kind of relationships are best left to die a lonely death.
By KyashiAmara on August 12, 2009 at 09:10 AM
I got the same thing from a guy i really liked. He went all MIA then texted me he was just a confused guy that didnt know what to say. All i asked for was honesty. Said he was having issues with the ex... So i knew he was going to take her back. Just wished he would have been honest like he promised and stopped the games! After that never heard from him again...What a jacka$$
By DeedlesMarie on June 26, 2009 at 06:39 PM
I've been the victim of abuse, rape and generally men who are horrible for me.
I thought I met someone a year ago who would be perfect for me, for once I had a great, healthy relationship. However, once he learned about my past relationship history... he left without a trace. I am heartbroken.
But this is a new beginning. I am going to stay away from men who want the wrong things. I know that good men exist out there, and gosh darn it, I'm gonna find one. One that doesn't run when he knows what I've been through.
By sivmichelle on August 4, 2009 at 06:59 AM
Good luck!!
By KyashiAmara on August 12, 2009 at 09:05 AM
That was terrible for him to just vanish bc of what you have been through. Sounds likes going through it was hard enough with out him judging you for it. What a jerk...
By nando726 on August 11, 2009 at 11:48 PM
I actually started a new relationship with a great woman. She's very supportive, and this is always a plus when you race bikes.
By pandafaced on August 4, 2009 at 02:18 PM
I was successful in starting a relationship. It wasn't hard. I never tried before.
I really liked the guy.
The thing is, I didn't like the 'idea' of being someone's "girlfriend". I didn't like that I couldn't go to a party and sit on some other guys lap. Innocently, of course. The guy I was seeing didn't get jealous. I just felt bad. I had regrets. I don't do regret.
Anyway, I broke it off. Now we're the best of friends and I get to sit on any lap I want.
I am, after all, only sixteen. There is no reason for me to even be taking this dare.
Thusly, I call this dare to a close.
Good day~
By bonnieraeisok on July 24, 2009 at 10:35 AM
So... I've been single for so long I'm not sure if I even know how to date any more. I got so sick of dating some one for a few weeks only to find out they were crazy/ lazy/ rude/ worthless. Crap. Maybe this time... Wish me luck!
By sivmichelle on August 4, 2009 at 06:59 AM
I unfortunately agree ;)
By brewskiez on January 6, 2009 at 10:28 PM
I seemingly attract people that take from me. It needs to change. I want to find someone that gives me as much as i give them. I thought I did recently, but I was wrong. I decided that I deserve better then what I thought I did in the past. I'm getting so ready for this new thought process and way of sharing a relationship :)
By DeedlesMarie on June 26, 2009 at 06:43 PM
That is how I am too! It's hard being the giver when all that your partner does is take. You do deserve better... good luck!
By LadyPoet on July 28, 2009 at 09:29 AM
A good friend of mine told me once that I dont have to save the world. That a relationship should be totally based on you taking care (emotionally, physically, finacially, or anyother way) of someone else. I was challenged to instead of taking care of others, to be taken care of. It was difficult at first because it was not what I was used to, but now, its the way I am all the time.
