OTM

GAAAAH as first love can be a different GAAAAH at later loves. Later GAAAAH, thoug different, is no less GAAAAH.

quicie, i want to hear more about this when you have time. also, i fully expect "GAAAAH" to be in the OED next year

quincie so totally OTM - was reading this thread earlier and trying to figure how to say just that

i want to believe.

but tell me more about how the GAAAAH is different. because i've experienced it a few times - the first two were sadly, pathetically unrequited. but the third actually happened, was reciprocated and was amazing. and i understand that feeling can't be maintained ad infinitum. i'm just looking for that feeling again, even if it's brief, at the beginning, because it's pretty much the best feeling in the world.

no, the UNIVERSE

It does change over time and experiences yeah. Perhaps because each new relationship adds to it all yr knowledge of previous successes and mistakes. There's a maturing and a deepening to connections as you progress in years, I've found. You really know what you want the further along you get.

So it might not be the untrammelled GAHHHHH of the first time but thats not always a bad thing! It can be... richer? Better prepared, too.

i worry that, for various reasons, i have no GAAAAH in me anymore. not just for relationships, but in general.

but yeah z s otm about the UNIVERSE

GAAAAAAHHH just loses letters and capitalization over the years and eventually you are ok with gaah or even guhhh

a little gehhh is enough to get out of bed in the mornings

Quincie otm.

My relationships and their Gaaaah distinctions, by ljubljana (sorry for tl/dr)

1: Saw him for the first time, spoke his language very poorly, heard about 3 sentences he said and fell madly in love GAAAAHHHH. I still understand now exactly why this was and why it was justified.

[2: no Gaaah. Rebound. Desperate. Error]

[3: no Gaaah. Flattered, went along with it. Error]

4: Initially as per 1, and I was so overwhelmed I became extremely boring, and got dumped. Excruciatingly painful at the time, yet now I really don't know why I was so hung up on him (in contrast with 1). Lesson: post-breakup GAAAHHH can reverberate forever or it can taper off after a bit and seem silly.

5: Found the person slightly annoying, but it got physical after a few dates, then suddenly appreciated all the lovely nice things about him and a slow kind of gaaaHHHHHWWWWWWW WHAT A NICE PERSON crept up. Lasted about 2 months until he shouted at me during an argument. Instant gaaaHHHH cessation even though we dragged it out another year.

6: Found the person slightly baffling if interesting, then baboom style GAAHHHH hit the day after after 3rd date while making roasted vegetables alone in my apartment. Remember the moment well, I burst into tears as I recall.

7. 1st date: oh, what an interesting person. 2nd date: oh dear, he can get a bit much, can't he. 3rd date: yet he is intriguing and I really must see him more often. From there on in I would describe it more as an amazed, happy WOW WOW with GAAAAHHH moments hitting me from time to time while, say, looking at him while watching TV.

My problem is not GAAAHH variation, it's GAAAHH reciprocation.

nah, it's cool. if it's in you, at least, there's hope

not entirely sure i approve of this shorthand, tho

ljubljana that was very beautiful prose. a+++

Heh, if only the relationships had *warranted* the crying over the vegetables etc....

Anyway, no time to wallow as I have just been contacted on JDate by an Abraham Lincoln obsessive.

my brain doesn't want me to be happy. formerly i was attracted to this person; tonight, most def not.

oh and: the GAAAAHHHs in my life have mostly been people that I was able to get to know on a gradual basis--all the more reason to find this OKC thing to be completely artificial and without hope. however, it is for this reason (the gradual gaahh) that i'm persisting with the other person. ughh.

oh also, what exactly is an abraham lincoln obsessive? sounds like more than a mere history buff...

He wears beards and stovepipe hats in bed?

Anyway, no time to wallow as I have just been contacted on JDate by an Abraham Lincoln obsessive.

I'm going to start using this as an all-purpose expression.

The most important influence in his life has always been Abraham Lincoln, and he thinks that while he will never accomplish all that he did – [here he notes that this was saving the nation and abolishing slavery] - he has always tried to govern his own life [here he gives details of in what ways] through a prism of thinking "what would Lincoln have done" (WWLD)

I did not add the WWLD myself.

got chatting with a 97% match who it turns out lives just down the road from me

loool lincoln dude

if this romance proceeds we will require a transcript of his GAAAHHtysberg address for our archives.

ahahahaha

i always know I got the GAHHHHHH when I get turned on when they hold my hand

its only happened a couple of times

lol "the GAHHHHH"
i have my 2nd ever okcupid date tonight - it involves drinking so i think everything will be ok

get him sloppy drunk, roll him for pocket change, and shove him on a bus

IMing someone right now, though I haven't ruled out the possibility that she may be one of those charismatic chat bots.

lol someone link to CaptainLorax's posts about finding an attractive woman who just moved to his town on OKC

Breanne Duren- Daydreams (Adam Young Remix) Lyrics HD

so this is probably a good week for new profiles

good call

just sayin' there's at least new one out there ;)

i like answering these stupid questions but i think that might be about it

Every time I log in and see no one has looked at my profile in days, nor do I have any messages, I think the same thing: "Well, good to know I am still irresistible to the opposite sex!"

I have far better luck irl

I'm even on the verge of removing my bookmark from this thread. Close to full-scale abandonment.

I haven't logged into this site in weeks if not more than a month, I never updated my profile, and a friend of a friend (who my friend actually kind of dated) has sent me a message that I believe is a date proposition. I am not really interested in her romantically so I uh, just haven't logged into the site to avoid confronting this. Oddly, I have talked to her on other online communication and it hasn't been mentioned.

Dating someone I met on OKCupid for 7 weeks now

6 days in, and I haven't met up with anyone yet, but I at least have some back and forth going with 2 people. Both of them messaged me first, I kind of feel like I'm not doing something right, because I haven't gotten any responses from my unsolicited messages.

Eh, thats how it goes basically. The hit rate is 90% against favor, I found. Maybe its easier if you look really hot or somethign I dunno. Ppl claim women get inundated on OKC but I never did.

That's kind of what I thought, it's not like i'm sending creepy messages or anything but they are probably getting lost in the noise. I am realizing how important timing is though, Sunday someone deleted her profile while I was typing her the initial "Hi!" message.

a friend of a friend (who my friend actually kind of dated) has sent me a message that I believe is a date proposition. I am not really interested in her romantically so I uh, just haven't logged into the site to avoid confronting this. Oddly, I have talked to her on other online communication and it hasn't been mentioned.

dude maybe her message was just like "lol found you"

nah I saw the first few lines

I think I'm having a date on Sunday! Confirmation TBC. Kind of excited tbh!

I disabled my account pending future revision and possible action

That's great Laurel! Be excited!

I need to know the secret of not getting drunk and making out with dates, tbh. Feel like as a grown-up woman, I should be better at this by now.

^^ I am horrible at this too fwiw. The not making out, not being a grown-up woman.
