Sound Driver problem Posted: 6/13/2009 5:21:23 AM
I've tried looking on the System Settings on my PC, it gives me general specs for my PC but doesn't really show any details for sound. It's not technically a soundcard, it's a HP computer so it's kinda built into the motherboard if you get what I mean.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this. Recently installed a new version of Windows XP onto an old PC, problem is the sound doesn't work anymore, tried to look up the name of my sound card but finding it pretty hard. Any suggestions?

How often do you visit the gym? Posted: 6/13/2009 3:15:51 AM
How often to you guys go to the gym? I do other things for general fitness, mainly use the gym for weights really, go about 2 or 3 times a week if I can, due to other commitments it's pretty hard, and the less you go the less motivated you feel when you actually do go.

'Who cares. Escort, one night stand, fling with an old friend? All the same, except of course for the money he spent.' Ha, having them go to the length of paying for it, that can't be any better for your confidence right now ;o)

I don't think anyone plans to have a long term relationship with anyone they date, relationships just... happen.

Most people at my workplace have degrees, they just never bothered making use of them I suppose. Still, not really many great jobs in Staffordshire.

She is a complete mindf*uck Posted: 6/12/2009 9:25:03 AM
Sorry to bump this, remember this thread from a while back as I was going through a similar situation. This is VERY common with dating/relationships in the early 20s. And it's something many men and women do, it's a very subconcious thing I think. It's alot to do with all wanting what we can't have at a young age, when we get that person we dreamed of, our enthusiasm for them begins to wane, the more serious they become about us, the more we start to question how we feel about them, am I too far into this? What if I'm not sure, if I carry on will I hurt them? So we push them away. In my experience I always take it slowly with girls/women, I always find that once I get feelings for them, start to show it, treat them the best I can I get pushed away, rejected. However, once I've moved on, gotten over them and left them alone, they come back saying they've realised what they've now lost and want to do everything to get me back. Kinda like 2 people at each end of a rubber band, one pushes, the other pulls back, then when you pull back they push.

Getting your ex back who list interest - How did you do it? Posted: 5/17/2009 1:10:36 PM
There seems to be 2 methods of thought about how to do this. 1. By telling them how you feel (and showing you're upset) or the opposite 2. By not contacting them (and seeming not bothered by them leaving) I know there's alot of different theories as to how to go about this, but this thread is really about WHAT WORKED FOR YOU!

Dating and the Chase Posted: 4/6/2009 9:53:07 AM
There's always a 'chaser' and a 'chased' Things work out when the 'chaser' realises the 'chased' interest level and projects a similar one. In most cases that's how it plays out and that's how people get together, all depends if 2 people like eachother in the first place though.

Played it cool and 'NICE GUY' got in my way, but... Posted: 4/6/2009 9:47:01 AM
Grizz, that's exactly what I'm thinking! I think she's damn good at it though by the way she's playing it out though, she laughs at his jokes, chats to him all the time. I think my doubts came from her saying 'I don't know what to feel for him, perhaps I might feel the same one day'. Maybe that's just her way of controlling herself and keeping cool.

Is desparation a turn-off? Posted: 4/6/2009 9:43:36 AM
'It depends on the kind of desperation...' In that respect everyone's desperate to have someone, or potentially desperate. Very attractive people never come accross as desperate because they have SO MANY options, and that's part of what makes them attractive. As Supercali said, just be cool about it all... and have fun.

Is desparation a turn-off? Posted: 4/6/2009 9:37:21 AM
When I was younger, back in my early college days I used to be straight with girls about my feelings and repeatedly got pushed away and could never get why. It seemed sense to be honest back then. My friends would always tell me to cool it but I'd never listen. Think I only realised when girls started being like that with me, being pushy and clingy. Early on you're never sure you want to commit because it takes YEARS to get to know a real person. Nowadays I just take things slowly, even if early on a girl makes me really happy I control my feelings and just let things play out.

I've told her how I REALLY like her since all this, feeling it's put her under pressure I've backed off now... now she's spending all her time with him and I've got to sit back and watch this crap. Nice how you seem to chase something more when you feel it's slipping away, but we all know it's the LAW

She's sat with him, and when the subject of me and her having anything came up, he was close to tears. I'll be the first to admit me playing it cool was silly, but this guy's come out of nowhere with his damn 'I feel so much it makes me cry' after 2 weeks! I'm beginning to think she's being manipulated into being her boyfriend. I have to sit there at work now and watch all this crap. Yeah, I like her ALOT, and I mean ALOT, but come on who doesn't run a mile when a guy gets like that after what, 2 weeks.

In The Beginning - What do you prefer? Posted: 4/6/2009 9:23:29 AM
Up til the crap that happened in this thread I'd say always play it cool... http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts12117712.aspx Anyway, yeah usually I like to keep things casualy in the first 4 or 5 months of a dating/relationship and just have fun. If you get feelings, and tell a woman/girl too early it can ruin things. Remember that in the first few months you're still getting to know them, so if you do have feelings you have to ask yourself 'Would I feel the same if I 100% knew them'.

I never persued her at the start though. We were good friends, got on well, but that was it. After the kiss I started to really like her in that way, but to quiten office rumours I told her I wasn't really ready and to slow it down. Regardless, if some guy you've only known 2 weeks (as a friend) starts making out that you're going out, gets upset when he finds out something went on with you and co -worker, pours his guts out to you and constantly asks for reassurance... you'd feel sick! Past few days they've been sitting by eachother at work constantly chatting, seriously how can she be bought by all this crap!

I just never wanted to rush into anything with her, we got on great, but worked together, we always flirted and if anything I just wanted things to go slowly. Now this guy's come out of nowhere, after about 3 meet-ups (not dates) he gets angry at me for saying I like her and tellin her that if she doesn't like him in that way then to let him down now before she hurts him anymore. Thing is she's still meeting up with him, he's banging on about 'looking forward to making her happy' and she's actually being bought by all this, so it seems anyway. I ask her what she's doing, she's like she doesn't know, says maybe in time she will feel something for him the more she gets to know him. I know I may have missed the boat with my keepin it slow, but come one, if someone comes on strong like 'NICE GUY' at the beginning... 1. You don't want to lead him on and hurt him, so you KEEP telling him you're not interested until it'd drilled in. 2. You subconciously get scared off by him coming on too strong, I mean really scared! Ridiculous! I think the way I made her feel rejected has made her desperate, and she's actually goin along with this guy cause she feels like I've put her down.

She's tried to explain to him how she feels. I had about 5 text messages on my phone after they met up at the weekend saying stuff like... 'He's such a nice guy, I try to let him down but he won't listen' 'I feel pressured, cornered, don't know what to do.' 'I just know I'm gonna end up messing him about and hurting him in the end, BUT HE WON'T HEAR IT!' I think this was caused by me perhaps playing it TOO cool after our 'encounter', I basically told everyone who asked that I didn't fancy her, and she told me the other way she felt rejected (but in a really jokey way). She's really clsoe with him now, I think she might actually want to go out with him. I've heard of manipulating girls by using head games, but actually pouring your guts out to a girl you've been seeing 2 weeks and having it actually work... WTF!

So basically, this girl (mid 20s) started at my office around Christmas time this year, although still coming out of a long term relationship we got on pretty well, just as mates really. People in the office picked up on this and started making jokes about us being a couple n all this stuff. Anyway, about 3 weeks ago she starts to drop hints that she likes me, a few of us go out for a night at a bar, no heavy drinking at all . This is where new 'NICE GUY' who started work at our office the week before comes in. They get chatting and he asks her if she'd like a lift home. She lets him know she wants to stay out and for some crazy reason he throws a bit of a strop and goes home. Later that night the girl tells me how much she likes me, which I knew she did all alomg and we spend the night kissing. Morning after we feel a little awkward but have a good joke about it. I tell her with us working with eachother maybe we should cool it off n see what happens. Fast forward to last week and the new 'NICE GUY' announces to everyone that he and 'girl' are a couple and have been 'dating'. She makes out that they're just kinda friends, 'NICE GUY' gets jealous and confronts me about it and when I tell him about me n her kissing and he comes close to tears and pours his guts out to her. She tries to make him feel better and after a coupla of days tells me she's worried about what to do, she likes him but not in THAT WAY, and that she doesn't want anything to happen with me and her because it'd hurt his feelings (no shit!). She basically meeting up with him after work every couple of night , telling ME that she feels cornered, pressured by him and is scared of hurting his feelings. Now here's where I'm kinda lost as to what's gonna happen next, either... 1. She gets used to him, he cools down his attitude and they get on and actually do become boyfriend and girlfriend. or 2. The pressure gets so much that she blows her top with him. PS, since this we've both mentioned we like eachother. Damn this is like school or something, we're grown-ups here!

"on off relationship for 5 months" He pops around whenever he needs a shag then tells her to **** off the next morning. "A few weeks later he decided she wasn't his type and him and my mate got back together." He got dumped but needed someone to shag "She hoped they could make a fresh start but he appeared to just want sex" Thought so :P "she would only have the baby to trap him and ruin his life." I've had a mate who's had a girl do that to him, she already had 2 kids.

Does money issues make or break relationships ? Posted: 11/5/2007 4:02:35 PM
"I would choose to date someone because I love them,not because of their financial status." If you had the choice between the guy who was broke, has a low paying job but works hard to afford his crap council house and crap car you'd choose to date or even marry him over the guy who has a great career, great house and car? I doubt the first guy would get a look in, if I was a girl I wouldn't even date him... unless I was fat or ugly ;)

"I think you're friend is pretty STUPID, Immature was probably dropped on her head many times as a child, what kind of bullshit is she pulling? i feel for the children ,its not their fault they have a mother who is a Martian space cadet, in other words she fucked up in the head." Exactly what I was thinking 1. Your mate should stop ***ing around or learn to use contreceptives 2. That lad's using your mate for a shag, that guy doesn't want much to do with her now and certainly won't want anything to do with her when he finds out there's a kid on the way.

As the question says, do you like slim guys with lots of hair? Perhaps big muscular guys with a shaved head. I wonder if the way a girl looks herself could determine what she's attracted to, does this change with age?

Men: How did your ex-s affect you emotionally and mentally? Posted: 11/5/2007 5:32:09 AM
A year ago I split up with my ex, she way she behaved depended on how I treated her, when I was nice with her she'd back off. Convinced me that girls want to be treated like shit, honestly I dated ALOT of girls in the months that followed and despite me being a complete arse to them they couldn't get enough of me. I didn't really want relationship s with any of them, they got even more clingy about it. Right now I think I'm over my ex, I'd prefer to just be nice to someone and have it back, life's too short for shit relationships.

"I need space" = I've just realised I don't want a relationship with you, rather than do the honest thing and tell you the truth I'll just say I need space... I mean if someone doesn't see me much they'll OBVOUSLY completely forget about me right.

Most young people (MEN and WOMEN) just can't let go of someone who said they "didn't want a relationship" with them. If you're in your late teens or early 20s you THINK you want a relationship, but when you find someone who commits to you, you get scared and back off. On the other hand if the other person tells you they don't want a relationship with you, you get this strange impulse to CHASE them. I've done it before, I've wanted a relationship with girls I'd been dating for months, when they said they didn't feel the saem I wanted them more. I've also dated girls who wouldn't take no for an answer. Remember young people: WE ALL WANT WHAT WE CAN'T HAVE AND WHEN WE DO GET IT WE THROW IT AWAY!

But I can't bring myself to be like that, I've been myself all the way with her, n she seems really really into me things have been so great between us. She's perfect to me... but this little thing has made me step back and think. Perhaps I'm being paranoid I don't know.

Hi! I've been dating this girl for about 3 months now, she's quite shy about expressing her feelings and I've yet to say I love her, though I'm starting to get really strong feelings for her! Thing is I'm unsure about something. She was telling me the other night about her ex, the only guy she ever loved because she was having problems with him and he was harrasing her. Basically this ex made it clear to her that he was in love with someone else from the start of their 2 year relationship. He'd make her think she was fat and always flirted with her mates and even made it clear her fancied one of them. But as he sucked away her self-esteem and beat all confidence out of her... she fell for him. It's been over for a year now and she want him completely out of her life, he's only started speakin to her lately after they ended and didn't speak for a year. My question is could a girl like this ever accept a guy that truely loved her and wanted to do everything to make her happy? I'm crazy about her and she's been great to me so far and is so keen... but if I let my guard down, tell her an really start to show her how I feel, will her low self-esteem and feeling of unworthyness reject the love?

"I totally agree with Classandmor. You may have waited too long to meet. Sounds like her interest went somewhere else." We met up after 1st meeting just 3 days after, we've been going out 2 months now. We've had alot of good times together, but I think her interest is fading now I'm not being a challenge anymore.

Well we haven't broke up or anythin, but this is usually how it starts, n it's usually when I start fallin for the girl n givin em more attention. Perhaps they feel that they don't have to do anything anymore to win me cause the "challenge" is gone n they just lose interest.

"OR, maybe she is getting busy (September/October is sometimes very busy months for some people depending on professions)...." She has said recently she has so much on and perhaps doesn't have time for a relationship, true she has more on... but if u were really into someone that wouldn't make any difference, she was really into me, but now I've started to show her more attention it's like she's backing off (but not completely). Perhaps I should just be more of a challenge, perhaps I've been clingy lately, especially callin her if she hasn't replied to the txt I sent her earlier in the day. Doesn't take much to reply to a txt, 20 secs maybe?

Yeah I think that makes sense now. When I've been dumped before I've been called clingy. But I only ever show as much interest as the girl does... I think with this one I've shown slightly more lately. So perhaps I should go back to how it was in the 1st month and cool it, was great when she used to chase. Does showing less attention and being a challenge often work when girls start to lose interest? Does it help get them to raise their interest? I suppose it's a case of people wanting what they can't have the most, us guys are guilty too. What's your experience of this guys?

Girl losing interest for some reason - Need advice Posted: 9/26/2006 1:44:04 PM
So I met this girl online a couple of month ago, she was 1st to message me, we got chatting but at 1st I took a bit of time replying to her messages but eventually we met up. Things were great for the 1st month, when I suggested doing something she always said "Yeah deffo! :D" no matter what it was or when. I could tell she was really into me, I was kinda being cool about it but still showing alot of interest. Lately though it's changed, she doesn't reply to my txts til hours later anymore, she says she's perhaps too busy for a relationship, was a bit gutting cause she was so so into me the 1st too months! I seem to be the one calling her now... perhaps I should be more of a challenge n not bother contacting her for a couple of days. It seems every time I go out with a girl they're 100% keen for the 1st month, but when I start to show it back they fade away. How can I get her interest back?

Why does distance always become an excuse? Posted: 8/6/2006 3:59:10 AM
Distance tears couples apart because it's such a pain in the ass when you can't see the other person when you want to. Only ever been in one long distance relationship (not that it lasted long) and that was a ballache!
