    I never really had to deal with a situation like that, fortunately. Sounds like a "I saw her first!" situation, and ... well, as friends you shouldn't step on his shoes out of respect. Wouldn't you feel the same way if you just came out of a relationship, met a new girl and desired her? Nothing may come of it, but the intention is there on his part and that means something.

     

    Logically the best approach would be if she asked that guy about YOU, and made her interest in you apparent on her own -- then he can't blame you for that. Still ... if she's aware of how he feels and doesn't mind her behavior then that does say something about her, unfortunately. :/

     

    Loyalty is rare nowadays.

    I have been a cock head - my apologies.

    I've been here long enough to know you've been through ups and downs ems, albeit looking from the outside in. Can't say I can relate since I don't have progeny but I do know what it's like to need a job and have been trying to land one. It's good that you're trying to be in your child's life, because the kid will count inside how hard you tried or didn't as he/she grows up. Anyway, it takes a lot to admit wrong-doings or apologize in general, and I'm sure it hasn't gone unnoticed.

    Cheers. :cheerthebeer:

    The Most Haunted Place In The World Is For Sale

    That's not a bad idea. Count me in.

     

    I am an avid enthusiast of the paranormal, and needless to say at the expense of potential criticism for honesty, I must confess that my dream job would be living as a professional ghost hunter.

     

    I saw Poveglia in an episode of Ghost Adventures, on the Travel Channel. The thought of visiting that location would be amazing.

    Online dating - major waste of time.

    Oh you meant like ... dating site online dating? Yeah the most popular/commercial ones are chalk full of pretentious women who want a well-paid, good-looking, tall, fit, smart, funny guy who has graduated college and lives on his own, and hopeless guys who dream they can land a high maintenance lady.

     

    I feel that categorizing compatibility cheapens the experience of meeting the opposite sex (or same sex if so inclined), but a lot of self-described "modern" women seem to believe that they deserve nothing less than "ideal." What we as individuals believe we deserve is subjective, and confuse separation in our minds with what is an ideal partner from THE ideal partner ... because — let's be realistic — there's no such thing as perfect.

     

    I blame the media, for filtering a level of beautification towards society that is superficial. I also know that one cannot fight loneliness.

    It's as normal as speed dating is. Social networking has changed the way people communicate, for better or worse. Before the internet, match-making was a profession in some regard, and considered normal. And before that, it was considered acceptable to let your parents find you a domestic partner. It's all relative. Do what works for you in the end.

     

    I consider it "normal" insofar as it isn't queer in a social sense, though I prefer meeting a girl under casual, face-to-face circumstances.

    What race/culture are you?

    Korean-American

    Getting annoyed at these old Batman comics

    Well, the whole Bane breaking Batman's back event was a while ago if I recall, and the quality of comics at the time I'm not so sure is up to par. I am a fan of comics but not an avid reader and collector, I just like following current sagas/arcs in the mainstream storylines; the ones that are universe-ending, all heroes from everywhere come together type events.

     

    I've heard good things about The Killing Joke series, but Batman Beyond is basically an alternate universe version and based off the cartoon so its not that hype IMO.

     

    I would recommend the Hush miniseries for Batman, though. It's drawn by Jim Lee and is a good read too from what I'm told.
