Bettman Lockout III Thread (aka NHL Offseason: Now & Forever) - Page 279 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Girls are such bitches that odds are even if Geddy was like "let's go back to the hotel room" FG would have just been like "omg lol you have the wrong idea FRIEND!"

Girls learn how to play men and break hearts from the day they are born. Not a real good woman with a warm heart exists in this world.

No, not the PG-13 ending where Geddy gains greater perspective on life and moves on from this experience a wiser man and you walk out of the theater like "what a letdown", those movies are ****ing cockteases. We need the R-rated Geddy, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man.

All those saying he made the right choice must be young.

I'm the absolute last one to support the male/macho hit it bull**** that permeates most online forums. And I think he shouldn't have passed. He might be happy now, especially with how things turned out with the other girl. (Did you think about her 1 time that night before the text?)
See how GL feels when he's 40.

Being results-oriented down the road doesn't mean he made the wrong choice now though.

That night specifically, no. This last week, before the texts in question? Definitely. Was talking with her as recently as Thursday; we had plans to do dinner in Toronto but I got called in to work a shift and couldn't get out there.

And maybe the Oshawa Princess doesn't become Mrs. Geddy Lee, but I dunno what else to say other than I'm in a really good place right now.

By the way, I love the divided opinions. I think it's great.

Sooooo that means you shouldn't bang "a smokeshow" who "looks incredible"...why?!?!?

Disagree. "The night he turned down FG" is not gonna be something that persists for years when he thinks of the all-time greatest nights of his life.

Like, wtf does this mean? How do you square this with your multiple comments on how hot she looked? I don't think she looks that hot to you if you didn't really want it, and thus there's other stuff going into your reasoning here that you aren't telling us or that maybe you aren't even consciously aware of.

You're stuck on level 1.

He's being dishonest with himself at that point. He'd resigned himself to not wanting a future with FG, being completely over her after

Quote:

The devastation I felt when she'd leave me stranded. The anger I felt when she'd ignore me until she needed a favour. The disappointment I felt when I upset her. The trepidation I felt when we finally put everything on the table last year...and the resulting heartbreak I felt when she made it abruptly clear we were nothing more than friends, unlikely to ever change.

That's not an easy thing to put behind you, and he'd done it. If he sleeps with her, he's reopening that entire can of worms just to see her up and move away forever. It's easy to say blah blah blah, you know this was a one time thing, no attachment, blah blah, but in reality this isn't how it works. Try it.

If it's like, maybe you're still emotionally confused, you think it might actually hurt to finally hook up with FG only for her to leave your life forever, that's something that totally makes sense. But I think it's weird that you would otherwise have a fantastic time hanging with her all night despite this history, think she's totally looking smoking, and then feel good about turning down a chance to hit that.

This is all getting too cathartic.
Glad GL is happy with his decision.

There is a memorable post in another thread with a very similar story, and the regrets associated. But I don't remember the poster or the thread. Sucks being old.

It's if he isn't really over her that complications arise.

All right, I've been catching up on this thread, and apparently you guys has spent the last 100 some posts or something on this story and its quite interesting. Geddy, you probably got to think really really deep whether or not to go through with this thing you have with this girl. The general consensus is that you blow it, but at the end of the day, you got to go through with your decision and if you feel like this decision is the best long-term, then well-done man, hope you become happy with this decision for years to come.
