Party and Love: Distance makes the heart grow further away

Distance makes the heart grow further away

By Dead_Eye - 27/09/2009 05:23 - United States

Today, I turned down an invite to a huge private party that is rarely given to freshmen in college, because I felt bad that I hadn't had a chance to talk to my girlfriend in a couple of days. I called her a couple of hours later. She answered with, "Hey, I'm at a party. I will call you tomorrow?" FML

Today, I found out I wasn't cool enough to be invited to a college party that happened last night. The one in charge of inviting people was my girlfriend of two years. FML

Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML

A tale as old as time

Today, I went out with a girl, I paid for the drinks, and thought everything went well, even though I didn’t make a move, I guess I wanted to take it slow. I texted later to invite her to a private beach next week, only for her to reply that she’s not gonna be available for the next few weeks because her boyfriend is coming to visit. FML

Today, I invited my only friend to my birthday party and she said no, not because she couldn’t go, but because she didn’t want to. FML

Today, a girl invited me over to her dorm room at 3 AM. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to respond to e-mails just before. She said she was tired and then went to bed. I'm a F*ing idiot. FML

Today, I was invited to a party, but I didn't attend because my boyfriend would be disappointed with me. Instead, I spent the night with him watching movies. At the end of the night, he broke up with me because I wasn't fun enough. FML

Today, my girlfriend of 3 years who had taken a job in a new city last month came into town and told me that she had slept with a co-worker last Friday. Last Friday I was incredibly lonely but I turned down a very attractive woman because I didn't want to hurt my girlfriend. FML

Today, my boyfriend of almost a year invited me over to dinner at his house. Before leaving, I called him to let him know I was on my way. Just as he begins to tell me he'll call me back, I hear another girl in the background say, "Why don't you just tell her you're busy?" FML

Today, my best friend came over for dinner and a movie. Moments after arriving, she spent an hour on the phone, and ended up accepting another invitation before leaving. I guess it's dinner for one tonight. FML

Today, I was sleeping when my roommate walked in and asked me: "So… when are you leaving?" She had decided to throw a party in our apartment. I wasn't invited. FML

You got played. Then again isn't it a little pathetic to have to set aside time to call your girlfriend? It's your fault for not calling her earlier than you did and then you'd still have time for the party. Common sense, use it.

never ever EVER put stuff like girlfriends in the first place when you have an opportunity that will help you with your future.... unless she's on her deathbed or something.

it depends on the opportunity, because a girl can be part of his future...

serious? why? He likes his girlfriend. Love isn't that horrible, sappy, or stupid. It's a natural thing that humans nowadays are finding unimportant. We are repressing basic human nature...for a "future" that everyone else expects for us...let him embrace this priority, it's HIS, and life is too short to make other priorities that are set by other people for him.

first...why havent you talked to you girl in DAYS? second...there are so many other options, call before the party or after or the next day. I wouldnt mind putting a girl first, but maybe if you are spending time with her, not to talk on the phone when that can be done anytime

not really, he's in college. it could be a long distance relationship, like a lot of people i knew in college had. i had one. we wouldnt speak in days because our schedules would be different. i didnt have a cell and just had a landline. i was poor. so i couldnt text. i saw him sometimes once a week for two days, sometimes once a month for two days. lived too far away. phone calls would be a big deal after a hard day ...or after several days of seeing everyone except the one you want to see the most.

Hmm.....YDI and FYL I kinda know how it feels. But you should've talked about it before hand.

that's unbelievably stupid of you. were you planning on talking to her for the entire duration of the party? wtf where you doing between the time you turned down the invite and the time you called her?
