Guy here, Need Some Advice
« on: February 20, 2012, 03:50:11 pm »
Hey Gals!

I'm new here, and yes I'm a guy. I hope i'm welcome here. :) Anyways, let me get straight to the point. Recently, my GF told me that hindi na daw siya kinikilig sakin. We've been together for 3 1/2 years. In my defense, I never stopped making efforts for her. Everyday, I talk to him anyway possible, even at work we talk via IM until she gets home. When we get home, we continue to talk our only break is dinner to be honest. When special occasion comes in, I never forget to acknowledge the day. In addition, I always find a way to make it extra special for her (gifts, cheesy date, etc.). To make the long story short, she said she appreciates my effort, but hindi na daw sya kinikilig sa mga ginagawa kong efforts.

Also, after 3 years, parang she set the bar too high for me. Yun standards nya parang napakataas na and I can't reach it anymore. Before, I'd give him a rose sobrang saya na nya, but ngayon isang rose means nothing to her. Even a dosen rose parang wala na lang sa kanya. I cooked her breakfast nun birthday nya, pero malungkot pa din sya, sabi nya she expected something more that that. some thing different.

That being said, what's next for us? Is she gonna get bored eventually? I don't think a guy can win in this situation, kahit anong efforts pa ipakita ko, pag di nya nagustuhan ako ang maiiwan, ako ang di maappreciate. ako ang talo sa huli. What do you gals think?

hmm... try to do the opposite... huwag mo pansinin... magtampo ka ...
take her for granted muna.. tingnan mo reaction niya...

but let me warn you, her reaction might not be what you are expecting...

pwedeng marealise niya yung efforts mo kasi "mawawala ka na" sa kanya...
or pwedeng deadma lang siya..
kung deadma, it only means na gumagawa na lang siya ng dahilan kasi ayaw na niya..

I agree with sis rianne. sometimes kasi if you show somebody that you love them too much, they tend to get bored and also they tend to take you for granted. when you do the reverse psychology thingy, it could result in two things... Either she realized ayaw na nya or she will realize na she still wants you and misses the old you. so just be ready with the result.

sometimes, sign na rin to she might be falling out of love. or could be nasuffocate na sya coz like what you said, dinne lang break nyo. so alam mo yun, parang nawala na yung "I" time nya. ang nangyayari kasi is parang "WE" na lang palagi which I think drove her to be bored with the routine.

I agree with our sisses here. Why don't you spend time with your friends naman? Wag mo rin paikutin ang mundo mo sa kanya. Sumama ka sa mga boys' night out minsan, magenjoy ka rin with other people.

hmm di naman siguro yun ang inaantay ni girl. siguro kasi masyado ng naging predictable yung events sa relationship nila. she is yearning for something new and exciting...

I can smell a princess, high-maintenance type. Run as far as you can for now! Kung marealize nya na hindi naman sya prinsesa at hindi ka naman circus monkey to keep her entertained and amused, then you can run back to her.

^ l o l sis priceless. You just hit the nail on the head!

@Teem

Sorry bro ha but here's my pov. The mere fact na she told you straight na "di na siya kinikilig" is a red light for abuse. Had she been considerate of your feelings as a person, she could have left you na. Kairita mga girls like these. Walang ibang iniisip kundi sarili nila. If di masaya yung isa, e di alis. What's the point of pushing yourselves to the limit, parang sarili lang niloloko di ba. What to do? Ignore, ignore, ignore. Tingnan lang natin kung di pa rin siya tablan. ;)

If you're bored, say so. If you want to be amused, entertained, say so. Kung gusto mong kinikilig ka parati, say so. But if you look for kilig moments and are bored because matagal na kayo - then don't ask for a mature relationship because sounds to me that you yourself are not mature yet. Being mature is realizing that a real and true relationship is not made up of pa-cute, cheesy, lovey dovey, pink hearts, flowers, chocolates, stuffed bunnies and surprises. Its enjoying each moment with the person you love, even though the moment itself is so mundane, so ordinary, so unromantic. And do something to keep the love and the romance alive - wag mong intayin parati na yung partner mo ang gagawa ng paraan. Dapat ikaw din - for yourself and for your partner. Ang relationship is a two way thing - hindi pwedeng isang party lang nanggagaling ang effort to keep the flames of love, lust, passion, interest, excitement, fun, alive. Do you know the reason why you're bored? What can you do about it, and are you doing it?

Why do we expect other people/our better halves/our partners/husband/bf-gf to make us happy? Why can't we be independently happy? If he can't entertain me, why can't I entertain myself? If he can't make my day, why don't I do something for myself?

If you realize at the end of the day that you don't need to be with him/her to keep you sane, alive, happy, enjoying life, then you're not for each other. Be with someone that you NEED to be with, just because.

Nalimutan kong sabihin, merong mga guys din naman who set themselves up for failure kumbaga. Tipong feeling nila a relationship needs to be a grand show everytime. So they "create" a fantasy, a princess, na tipong kulang nalang sabuyan ng rose petals ang bawat yapak ni babae. I don't think there's anything wrong in treating your partner/bf/gf/husband/wife extra special, pero if you start creating an illusion, be prepared to live up to it and continue.  Trouble is, sometimes people start believing their own lies and b******t and soon they can't tell or hate it when reality hits them.

Tayong mga girls (and I guess applicable din sa boys) naman, we need to say things as it is and speak out. Kung gusto, gusto. Kung ayaw, ayaw. If you want something to happen, either make it happen or magsabi ka sa partner mo kung ano ang gusto mong mangyari. Our partners will not magically have the powers of mind reading just because they (should) intimately know us.

alam mo Teem, sa totoo lang naiinggit nga ako sa gf mo eh. Ako kasi nakapag-asawa na pero ni minsan di man [textspeak!] ginawa sa akin yung ibang mga kilig moments na ginawa mo sa gf mo na sana eh gustong gusto ko gawin sa akin. hehe
Okay ganito. I can relate to her somehow. Dati kasi lahat halos ng means of communication everyday eh nagagawa namin. Habang magkatxt, magka-ym pa tapos email pa. Kumusta naman db? In your case, i would strongly agree to have an honest talk with her. Ask her kung ano ba mali sa ginagawa mo? Or kung ano ba pwede mong gawin para maging masaya sya ulit? From there, for sure kahit papano mase-sense mo what's the real score talaga. kung sadyang nabobored nga lang ba talaga sya or baka hindi ka na nya mahal..

kasi kung nabobored lang sya do something different kasi baka nasasakal na sya sayo pero kung di ka na nya mahal ibang usapan na un:)

lahat ng sinabi ng mga sisses natin dito tama. Kaya hinay-hinay lang din pre! isipin mo sarili mo din ha. hindi lang sa kanya umiikot ang mundo mo.:)

Agree ako sa mga sis natin dito.

1. Dapat dyan reverse psychology. Try the other way around. Try mong ikaw naman ang magpahabol. Siguro bro (LOL) lagi kang andyan for her. Lagi kang available. Bakit anong akala mo lalake lang ba ang nabobore sa relationship? Kung ang lalake may "thrill of the chase" ang babae may ganyan din. Tandaan mo entitled din naman si prince charming na habulin ng prinsesa.

My guy told me that his best trick in wooing a girl is yun "push and pull". Pushing is giving the best effort (flowers, romantic dinner dates, texting every minute, etc -alam mo na to kasi lalake ka naman). Then the pull is yun biglang manlalamig, kapag nagtext un girl one liner isasagot, pa-mysterious effect, pagiisipin si girl anong ginagawa niya or asan siya... kumbaga dati everytime ssbhn niya sayo kung nasan sya at [textspeak!] ginagawa niya bigla na lang hindi niya gagawin yun. Sobrang effective daw yun even sa relationship. (Hindi effective sa akin since stiff ako at wala akong pakialam sa kanya so nasa sayo if you'd try doing this).

2. Have a life outside the relationship in this case may mga bagay kayong mapaguusapan. Kasi parang umiikot ang mundo niyo sa isa't isa. So anong pinaguusapan niyo everyday? "Hon, kakain na ako." "Hon nonood ako ng PBB ngayon ano gawa mo?" Boring.

3. Plan some activities na hindi niyo pa nagagawa before. Kasi baka yun buhay nyo routinary. Opisina, bahay, opisina, bahay tuwing weekend maglalakad sa mall. Yickies. Try planning to go to zipline or go to the beach and try surfing, try watching ballet, try bowling... Mas okay dun yun may nilolook forward kayong bonding moment.

Kaya ako I believe na the arguments in relationship are essential. Isa yan sa nagpapatibay sa relationship. Kasi kung lagi kayong chummy chummy eh medyo boring. Tapos sa arguements din after nun yun suyuan portion. Hindi ko naman sabihin awayin mo db? pero make tampo rin tas wag mong suyuin.

Pero eto nga ay kung mahal ka pa niya at wala siyang iba... so agree ako kay si stormy_princess na you should talk to her din.

I don't think "atat" is the right word, or the right mindset. Ibang thread na dapat yung "moving to the next level" issue kasi maraming factors ang involved dyan - most important of all kung ready na si babae at si lalake (maturity and readiness in terms of financial, physical, emotional, mental state).

I think before you get to the point of marriage, you need to assess your relationship. Is it a mature relationship that is beyond the pa-cutesy, cheesy, thrill of the chase, lust, stage? Hindi naman kaya you're focused on the "courtship" rather than the "relationship" or the "wedding" rather than the "marriage"? Do you think you'll be happy together kahit mahirap, kahit nag-aaway kayo, kahit may mga days na di mo super type makita ang pagmumukha ni girl/boy? Pano kung wala na syang tricks or moves na alam to make you feel all tingly inside? Pano kung naubos na ang money nya kakabili ng flowers at chocolates to give you a "wedding"? Pano kung hindi sya marunong kumain ng apoy o maglakad sa bubog? Magiging happy ka pa rin?

Kung okay lang lahat, then pwede, Ate!!!

After 3 years, where is she vs where are you in this glorious world?   Umabante ba sya at a faster rate, at naiwan ka?

When 1 advances in this world, you see and experience more -- usually of a higher level. 
It is but human to want to be part of "upgrades", to always be "reaching upward".
So baka it is not that she is tired of your "manifestations of undying love", but that she may see you are no longer on equal footing with her.  Na outgrow ka na niya, maybe her using the word "bored" is her kinder way of saying that.

Be brave, face the truth...
If this is just a glitch, fine... Do what the others have adviced you to undertake..  It is all good advice.
But remember:  you cannot force someone to love you.

Good luck, take care of yourself.
