Soon-To-Be Long Distance Relationship

March 9th, 2009 | 3 Comments | Posted in Stay Or Go?

Dear Bitter Single Guy:  I have been dating this guy for about 8 months, on a recent trip to meet his family we got into a huge fight and he decided to end it. But now I get an email saying that he misses me and wants me back, the things is he’s in the military and will be gone for about 7 months…what can a girl do to find out if it’s true love or if it’s just loneliness? ~Not Sure I’m Ready~

Dear NSIR: The Bitter Single Guy thinks that it could be both true love and loneliness, but that doesn’t help does it? NSIR , GI Joe is going to be gone for nearly as long as you were together before the Big Fight. Even if you had not had the Big Fight, the BSG wouldn’t give your relationship much hope to last when you haven’t had enough time to build a foundation that can survive a 7 month absence. When the Big Fight gets added to that, the BSG is concerned that you will remember being dumped as the last big event in your relationship before GI Joe headed off to war.

All that said, if you’re willing to take 7 months out of the dating pool (the BSG thinks sometimes a break from the dating pool is extremely healthy) this could be the perfect opportunity. You could make up with GI Joe, which would give him something wonderful to think about while he’s protecting our freedom (the BSG knows that there are bitter folks who will be thinking that he’s protecting oil interests and stuff instead of freedom, but it’s his experience that the nice folks in the armed services are usually passionate about their mission…it’s the leaders who are a bit dicey in the BSG’s opinion).

During the time you’re waiting for GI Joe to come home you can take a pottery class, read the classics, tutor school kids, or otherwise do something good for yourself and the world. Tempting, the BSG thinks. ~BSG~

Bipolar love disorder

Dear Bitter Single Guy: So apparently this is a guy advice site but it’s not like a guy wouldn’t understand the other side of my situation which is exactly what I need. I’ve liked this guy for so long. He’s funny, cute, nice, and athletic but I can never tell if he likes me or not. Literally one week he liked some really plain girl and then that weekend he tried to pull a move on me. These things are constantly happening with him being really flirty sometimes and ignoring me others. Am I just overprotective? Or what? ~He’s Not Understandable~

Dear HNU: Firstly, the BSG should clarify that his advice is for all shapes, sizes and genders, not just guys (as is likely apparent if you read some of the BSG’s other advice). The Bitter Single Guy is going to infer from your letter that you are somewhere under the age of 30, or at least that your Fickle Fellow is. Given that, the BSG will tell you that many folks; men, women, what have you, are fickle in their romantic tastes.

The BSG suspects that Fickle Fellow is simply casting his rod (so to speak) into as many pools as possible in order to see what bites. Some of those pools will be plainer than some others, but Fickle Fellow probably knows that sometimes it’s the quietest pools that can deliver the best fish. The BSG is getting uncomfortable with this metaphor, so will speak more plainly.

If you like him, tell him. If he is interested, you’ll go out on a date and head happily into the sunset. But the BSG suspects that funny, cute, nice, athletic guy will likely enjoy the attention he gets playing the field in which case you should probably move on. ~BSG~
