Reminds me of the guy I worked with (Sean) who was enamored of a young woman where we worked. She told him that she wouldn’t go out with him because she didn’t want to cheat on her boyfriend. Now, bear in mind that she had a HUSBAND in Iraq she was OK with cheating on. Now, Sean told me one day that she wanted him to take out a loan for her, so she could consolidate her bills or something, and that she would make the payments for him. I told him (of course), “No way, do not do this.”, to which he responded, “Well, I already did.” I told him that at least he’d get to see what kind of person she was. He did. She made one payment, and he was on the hook for the rest of it. ---

I haven’t read the full thread but the OP sounds like me. I spend 20 years of my life hoping that a girl/woman I “loved” would feel the physical attraction that went with the emotional attraction. It never happened and I know it won’t. I’ve been in what I thought was a two year relationship with someone else now but I feel like it’s going no where either. I’ve never met any of her friends or family and I’m starting to question the “relationship” Take our advice and find a girl who want the physical and emotional you. ---

You know, I wonder how differently this thread would have gone if the OP had hypothetically been a physical bf posting because he was jealous: "Here I am, bangin dis chick and life is good! All I gotta do is control her access to her friends and crush her self esteem every time she starts growin’ a spine by makin’ comments (looks, weight, da usual). A little monkey-wrench into her school/job here & there and Ka-Pow: House Frau! Sex when I want it & a hot dinner onna table when I come over. Then, when alla dis is goin 'long oh-so-nice, I gotta hear 'bout dis Otha guy? Now she wants Row-mance? Ah’m supposed to say nice things to her? Oh, Hells No! She shouldn’t be readin… ma glass is empty and there’s a fridge ova dere fulla beer. Get my Own beer? You mean Pay…!? Hehe…you fa-real? Somebody’s gonna Pay, believe-you-me, an it ain’t a-gonna be me…" ---

I don’t think that would have been this Physical Boyfriend - I think he would have been more like, “I have a girlfriend and things are going great, but there’s this little dweeb that keeps bugging her all the time, sending her emails and calling her at all hours and just generally being a pest. She tried to brush him off by making a joke about him staying pure and virginal for her, but we don’t think he actually got it - she’s a bit worried that he thought she was being serious. :eek: So, how do I get this weirdo to leave us alone?” ---

I think [Dear Abby](http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/?uc_full_date=20101218) answered the mental girlfriend’s letter today: > [@](#): > > I’m a senior in high school and I have a problem. I’m in a parasitic relationship. A boy at my school, “Dan,” believes himself to be my best friend. It is sad because everyone acts as if he is invisible. I noticed that he was an outcast and went out of my way to be kind to him. He latched onto me and now follows me around at school. ---
