and I couldn't be more miserable right now. Sure I've gotten some cool stuff so far. However the ONE thing I want more than anything I know that I will never have. I know if I had it I wouldn't really need anything else, ever. Ah, but you guys probably don't care. Happy birthday to me..... I guess

Is it because you would be sharing a number (24) with one of your arch enimies? (Sailor Cybertron 24, Space Ace 24, Whateverthef**kmynameis24, etc.)

NO

It's some specific woman isn't it?

The solution is almost always to date her sister.

Don't be sad, dude. One present you want that you won't get. I wanna know what it is though. Still, it's your birthday. Have Fun! Go out to a nice resturaunt, Order the biggest dessert, and eat till you burst, but I guess I only do that cause I'm fat, lol.

Right on the money CP, but She doesn't have a sister to date.

We dated for a year and at that point I was going to ask her to marry me, she broke up with me before I could "pop the question". We have remained friends since then, but I still Love her. I love her more than anything, there isn't a thing I wouldn't give up to be with her again. I just feel in my heart that we were meant to be, I have never been so sure of anything else in my life. The real kicker is that now she has a new boyfriend , and I feel crushed. Also as nice as the guy sounds like I can't help but hate him.

Happens to every guy at least once.

Happened to me my first year of college...that ex-girlfriend ended up marrying her new boyfriend after me. Now she's fat and they're making babies.

While I ended up meeting a woman who was far more intellegent, caring, and respectful (whom I ended up marrying).

The point is...to find a good parking spot.

Wait...no, the point is that things work out for the best, but only if you're willing to look forward.

This too shall pass.
Become a workaholic, at least then you'll be miserable with money
Also, enjoy your health, get out into nature, its amazing how much the beauty of nature can soothe yer soul (if you let it.)

Well my ex Rachel was all that, intelligent, caring, and respectful. She even tolerated my Transformers obsession. She is fat but I like big girls so that doesn't matter. I've been trying for a year to "get over her", but to no avail. I know I will meet other girls and have other relationships, but to paraphrase Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; they will all have one major flaw, they're not Rachel.

To paraphrase Dr. Jones Sr.:

Indiana...let it go.

Don't take my attitude for not sympathizing. I'm actually pissed off at your friends. Your friends should be taking you out, slamming her formerly good name, and generally doing good wing-man stuff to get your spirits up.

Go to Starbucks, find some cute girl about to buy a drink and say, "Put away your money there lil' lady, I'll buy that drink." But use whatever voice is totally opposite of how you look. Dark clothes? Go cowboy...whatever. Just be funny.

It's your friggen birthday man. Have some fun. Want me to mail you a Transformer?

I've tried, I have even had a girlfriend or two since we broke up. Nothing panned out though, which always brings my mind back to her.

Most of my friends are ether working today or live out of town. As for that last thing, sure why not.

Happyb-day, bro! I'll be 27 in 4 months...ah, to be 24 again! Yeah, I've been down that road as well, except one step worse. I actually did pop the question, was accapted, then was promptly cheated on after 2 years. So don't worry, yours isn't the worst situation in the world. Look at it this way: you're only 24! Lots of time and women left!

Hey you! Buck up, little camper! You have a lot going for ya..you got plastic-crack-of-joy for yer berfday, Family Guy's "Bag of Weed" linkies to amuse you, you got to talk to me on the phone ( ), you're ONLY 24 (I'll be 39 in June... ), and yer alone cuz the right bomb-diggity chick ain't wandered into your life yet (or has and ain't figured out her own way yet)!

I know not a word of this helps, but I tried!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANYWAYS!

Happy birthday

Hey it could be worse its the big 25 for me in june i can feel age creeping up on me now

Just saw the thread. Happy belated birthday, ya old coot

On a serious note, i've been there with relationships. hell my ex even left me and was cheatin on me with my good friend for a year. life isn't always fair when it comes to matters of the heart, but we learn to live and grow from our experiences. Sometimes we have to change the things we can, accept the things we cannot change, and have the wisdom to know the difference. by letting someone else bring you down, you let them have all the power over you.

Simple solution: don't turn 24. Last year when nobody, not even my mom, noticed my birthday, I decided that that birthday didn't actually happen. Well, because, in a sense, it actually *didn't* happen.

Don't let wimminfolks get you down. A lot of young people (and 24 is actually still pretty young) don't know what they want, and ditch nice guys because they somehow think that some other dude is going to be 'better'. Dr. Hellkitty, donning her psychoanalytic hat, says it's because our society keeps telling us that happiness is in things outside ourselves--a nice car or those Ed Hardy sneakers or a boyfriend or girlfriend. Here's the truth: YOU and only you are responsible for your happiness. Your Rachel mistakenly put her happiness-responsibility on you, instead of where it belonged, on *her*. She thinks this new dude is going to be better. And for a few months, it may seem that way, but, nah. Sooner or later the same thing will happen, he won't 'make her happy' any more and ploomp, he's gone too.

But if it makes you feel better in that misery loves company way, my first total mindless-melty-with-love relationship, the guy killed himself. Nothing says "I don't think we should see each other any more" like a dead body and six hours of questioning by the police.

On the plus side, every breakup after that has been a breeze. Oh, you're leaving? And I don't have to ride in a police car? Whatever.

HK, I earned my cynicism the old fashioned way.

Wheve all been there dude....hell i'm still here myself, it sucks, specially on days like your birthday.

Had a 'thing' for my best friend for years, but she always wanted to be just friends....last year she went on a holliday with me, together with some other freinds of mine and a 'freind of a freind' witch neither of us knew before whe left....
They meet eachother, bam!, overnight they where an item.
They are still together and perfectly happy ......I hardley get to see her anymore, let alone get some alone time....
As it happens ive just come out of a very short (2 weeks) fling with another girl...actually it ended last night, so naturally I feel very alone, but you know who i'm thinking about right now? the one that realy matterd....

I feel for ya bro! , and I know everyone is saying that you should move on, get back out there, and that your happiness shouldent depend on another person....and their all 200% right! , but I also know that its not easy when someone is realy ,REALY deep under your skin....soon as I find a solution i'll let you know.

ow, and 'hating' the other guy....that's perfectly normal, its not 'nice' , but its human.....I had a dream about feeding my 'rival' to Grimlock once.....all that indicates is that i spend to much time here

Been there...

Unfortunately, these days society dictates that every woman try to find a guy who looks like Brad Pitt and has Bill gates's money and Ron jeremy's...well, if you know who Ron Jeremy is you know what I'm talking about. It's BS. And, I think what makes it worse is the girl's girl friends, who drive a wedge between the girl and her potential mate by disapproving of him, as ifg he were their potential boyfriend. Don't get me wrong, men do the same, under different terms. But it's really cruel and detrimental to society. When it gets to the point that no one is married anymore or is married/divorced several times, we as a people will realize the error of our ways regarding expectations in relationships and mates.

But if it makes you feel better in that misery loves company way, my first total mindless-melty-with-love relationship, the guy killed himself. Nothing says "I don't think we should see each other any more" like a dead body and six hours of questioning by the police.

Whoa. Ouch. My worst experience was being dumped by my fiancee of nearly 2 years for a guy who was almost 10 years older than us (we were the same age) and who, and this is the reason I didn't see this coming, I thought was...playing for the other team. After reading that, even if mine happened 6 1/2 years ago, I feel a bit better. But it still sucks.

Best solution? Go get ridiculously drunk and laid. Remember that every hole's a goal!
