Off topic- has anyone never put their dick in the crazy if the opportunity was there?

Dude, trust me, I know how much it sucks to go a while without any romantic interest from women, but this looks way too much like a dead end. Someone who’s willing to make you put up with all that BS after two dates most likely isn’t going to give you a healthy relationship you deserve.

Yeah, I was acting crazy at that particular time (fueled by having just had a quite bad breakup, and a little by just being an adolescent, I think), and yes, it was a VERY bad idea for the boy who dated me to do so. So, yeah. That being said, it could have been a better idea in six months when I was over the previous guy, and was presumably a better idea five years later, if you ask my husband.

**Zyada** , good point, I missed her age. A lot of people I knew dabbled intermittently in the crazy as immature adolescents, but eventually came out sane the other end… at thirty, not so much.

Crazy is so fun to have sex with but the wisdom of the Dope must be recognized.

/OT

Fusoya, I’m sorry to hear of this situation. Before the revelation of her eviction, I was going to say that I found it hard to grasp that a 30-year old woman was being blatantly dumb about a possible hookup from nearly a year ago. Now with people chiming in about it being a setup, here’s to hoping you don’t give up on the human females. Not enough Lunarian chicks out there, eh?

Whoa, Lunarian reminds me of “lunatic”, which is “crazy” attributed to the moon.

She sounds crazy. She already has an out/excuse not to get close to you. Do you really want to risk getting more involved only to have her whip that out on you one day?  
Find yourself a non-crazy and start from scratch. I can’t imagine this ending well or her suddenly becoming available for you.

To be fair, in the pizza situation- when I’ve been totally skint, I tend to refuse to let people buy me stuff too- because if I can have the money with me right now I can buy it for myself right now, but if I let someone else buy it for me I’ll feel cheap next time when I don’t have the money, and I can’t return the favour…

Still, I’d be very careful… It does sound like she wants a shoulder to cry on/fwb, rather than an actual boyfriend, even if she has no intention of deliberately scamming you.

I know it’s been said but I’ve been involved with a woman for a little over two years now who has repeatedly said to me she is bad at dating and glad we are not dating. It’s finally set through my skull that while we were doing things that a dating couple did we were not dating.

Well, there’s that “send a private message” thingy.

Although it might be fun to have a “dating forum”, where people seek romance, interested parties respond and the rest of the Dope proffers advice on who’s crazy and who should Run Away, NOW. 🙂

The last I heard, her cousin had a couch in Staten Island that she was going to hastily move to. I’ve been keeping my distance, and have been keeping busy with work/holiday activities, making ME the one playing hard to get now.

That SMDB dating forum would be the best idea EVER. Every time I develop a doper crush, I do a search and already have her baggage available to read about. It’s perfect.

Of course, everyone does. That’s why there’s a rule about it, if it wasn’t a common mistake people wouldn’t need constant reminders not to do it. Crazy chicks are incredible in bed, but it is never worth it in the end.

Today is the 13th anniversary of the craziest.

I wish I didn’t remember so vividly.

But I do.

I met a crazy one time when she was stalking her ex-boyfriend. For some reason I gave her my phone number…the sex was very good and wild and all, but the fact that she had mood swings every five minutes and talked incessantly about Jesus really gave me pause.

That was a relationship that lasted four days. At the end of it I was threatening to call the police if she didn’t leave me alone.

Today she’s on medication and we’re friends on Facebook. Go figure.

I tried writing a novel about the experience, but it wound up sucking.

Banished? Has there been an imperial decree? Are there a trio of magicians strenuously maintaining a magical seal around the island? Is Staten Island really so unpleasant?

Sorry, the turn of phrase just tickled my fancy.

I’ve had a handful or so of sexual opportunities that I’ve passed up because I knew the crazy/drama/this is a bad idea scale was just too high. And considering these were usually at a time when it was either that or nothing at the time on the sexual activity front makes it even more impressive. I’ve made plenty of dumb decisions in my life, but at least I can say sticking it in the crazy hasn’t been one of them (but boy o boy did I WANT to at the time).

(I thought it was only women who hated their eyebrows these days - I didn’t realize that guys did, too.)

**fusoya** , would you mind going on some more dates from online people? I need more vicarious drama in my life. 🙂
