I just don't know...

^That's great. I'm very happy too - yesterday I became official with the guy I like.

[Mints]

I'm really happy.

Yesterday I had a conversation with the guy I like about how things are between us. We established that we both really like each other, but we're just going to spend more time together and see how things go rather than jumping straight into a relationship. I've been in two "relationships" (I personally wouldn't call either of them proper relationships) and, in those, I let things become official too quickly without properly thinking about it, because I felt like I had to, and I don't want to make the same mistake and end up hurting someone again. Also, he's never been in a relationship and said he doesn't know if he's ready. I didn't want a relationship because I didn't think I could commit to one person, but now I don't know. All I really know is that I think about this guy a lot and want to spend time with him whenever I can. Hopefully we can see each other some more and see where things go from there. :')

I'm asexual and seeing my friends with their SO both makes me go aw and ew

I met up with the guy I like yesterday afternoon. We had some drinks at a pub and then went to a metal night that was on. I had such an amazing time - we were together for hours but it went so quickly. It was only last night, but I'm already really looking forward to the next time we can meet up. I really like him and I think there might be something there. I don't think I've felt like this before. :')

Been with my partner for 2.5 years and we have a young son. We live with his daughter who is 13 nearly 14. We have had a lot of bad times but we are working through them! He has actually given me the courage to get all the piercings and tattoos that I have wanted for years and taught me to not care what people think of me

[ThatPsycho]

Can't tell if I'm interested in someone or if it's just the fact they seem very interested in me that's making me think I am.

[ThatPsycho]

Ugh, hate it when you know someone's bad for you but you can't say no to them because there's just something about them.

Ah good. Everyone should discover how nice rum is.
Or absinth. That stuff is really nice too! Especially if you drink it pure.

Oeh that sounds very nice. Really should try it sometime. But as far as drunk goes.. Yeah I think I can manage XD And even if i will get drunk.. That works strange on me. From the low percentages I can get drunk but don't get a hangover. With the high percentages I hardly get any effects, like not being able to walk straight and such, however if I drink too much I will get a hangover. XD

But I'll keep that restaurant in mind for when I go to the UK again. Thanks! ^^

Ahhhh rum,... now you're talking
I've only recently discovered how awesome this sweet, sweet beverage is!!
Perfect when dark and spiced with ginger beer and a dash a lime!!

The thing about this proper scrumpy cider, the strong stuff doesn't just make you drunk it's almost drug like and can tweak your mind loool.
The current one our local has in is over 8% and cause it's still (not fizzy) it just tastes like a lush meaty apple juice. It's lethal :P

There's a restaurant near my work that sells pizza, pies and over 80 different types of cider. Amazing

I'm exactly the same! I hate the taste of beer and hardly ever drink wine. I am really more of the cocktails and the strong liquor. Like whisky, vodka and rum. And then I tried Cider
And yeah that kiddy drink is basicly what Jillz is. So between that and strongbow? Easy choice XD

Hhmm... 2 pints would be to soon though :/ I had 7 pints of strongbow one evening after school (we went to the pub around 15:30) the first two were on an empty stomach. I did feel those in the end ^^' I'm sure I could manage more than 2 of that if I ate something before. Soo... X3

[~Nox~]

Yeah I always find it so hard while on mainland to find anything to drink :\ I've tried really hard but I just can't learn to like beer, and I'll only have the odd glass of wine with a meal.
I've had "Apple Cider" at festivals in Croatia, Portugal and Germany,.. basically tasted like extra sugary fizzy apple flavour kiddy drink :( I realld do feel for you, and I'd agree Strongbow is the best of that bunch :P

I love the proper still Cider A lot of pubs here cut you off after 2 pints if they don't know you :P They're proper meaty and strong as anything! Gurt lush

[Wanderer]

Thanks ^^ Also I stand corrected... It won't be 6 weeks tomorrow. It will be 5 weeks.. (oeps..)

Haha sorry~~ I know strongbow isn't the best out there. But here in the netherlands there is just one other type of cider. And that one is called Jillz. They advertise Jillz as apple cider. Well... I don't know what it is but it definetly isn't apple cider!! So given that my choice over here is either strongbow or that horrible stuff named Jillz.... Well I have to say that strongbow is the decent one :P

However I do know that in the UK there are a lot more and a lot better brands of cider. I have tasted a few already, can't remember the names though..
And sure, anytime I usually go over to the UK at least twice a year. Sometimes 3-4 times.

[~Nox~]

Aww that's lovely

However, as someone that lives in the heart of Cider-land, I did feel severe levels of full blown body disappointment when reading that you grouped Strongbow with "decent Cider".

If you're ever in the UK gimme a call and I'll introduce you to the proper stuff
