Ah well, such is life - going to be a lot less stressful this year

Is that cause I'm not going?

No. I am a tad stressed that you're not going.

Certain lack of another person. Who is going but not with me, so all is well

I'm a tad pissed off that a certain other person and other mates pulled out on Summer Breeze, but that's another story

And it's all good, I'm gonna come bug you in the summer anyways

I must be getting pretty good at this relationship thing.
I have somehow managed to go on a date and have it classed as a successful date... with no idea that it was even a date at all

I thought you were getting married? Am I being incredibly dim?

[Ndnd]

Yes I am. Everyone knows about it (including this particular bloke) as I won't shut up about the Wedding. I was even banging on about it at points throughout our 'successful date'

A bloke basically invited me to a gig and appears to have misinterpreted it to be something a bit more exciting than it actually was.

Maybe he thought you'd want to have some fun with your last days of happiness.

I would like to ask HOW THE FudgeCake do I get better at this relationship thing... I seem to have NO skill/ability/brain when I'm in a relationship....Is this a common problem?
I say "I'm shit at relationships" but how do I become -not-so-shit?
Any good books or hypnotherapy tapes work?...

moan moan moan...
mmmh, vented my frustration

Have a relationship with someone tolerate enough to let you make silly mistakes, then learn from them not to repeat any mistakes?

That's good advice - my last ex was so patient and nice I became much more aware and guilty about how unreasonably arsey I was than if I'd just been with someone equally argumentative. I think it just gets better with experience though - I've finally learned just to accept the other person as they are, rather than having expectations or trying to change them or whatever. (Yay for cliches.)

But anyway, your shitness is probably completely different to mine. Could your supposed lack of brain be down to nerves? I used to be ridiculously anxious whenever I was seeing someone and found it difficult to be myself around them - I think that made me tense about the relationship in general as well, picking out faults with them and myself too easily.

I think I may have had one of those as well.

Do the opposite to whatever Applecore does.

Hey!
...good point.
Actually, I'm quite good in relationships, it's just starting them that's the problem.

Best advice is to dress like this guy:

He clearly knows what he wants.
