That's unacceptable. Also a likely scenario, however. In which case I'll switch to plan B: suicide. What point is there in living if what you want doesn't exist?
True, but how sure are you that's what you want? It's not exactly normal for men to act monogamous, so you'd be messing with nature. I suspect a lot of people want that, because they are told that's what they should like. In reality, most long lasting relationships get boring and unfulfilling.

Soulmates don't exsist they are made. You just have to find a compatible person (someone you like to the mesure that you care at what happens to them) at a right time and that is it, that's love
Try and do that when the other party isn't interested at all. You'll find it's not at all straightforward or even remotely possible.

The result: major disappointment

In all reality, there's this girl I just told you about. You probably didn't read that though. But anyway, I used to be "in love" with her, but I'm not anymore. Nevertheless she has become my best friend. Two weeks from now I'm going on a holiday with her. Needless to say that things just might happen. I don't think I would refuse though. She just wouldn't be my best friend anymore.

There was a girl I was in love with too, and we used to be good friends, but now we don't talk anymore ;)

If the other party isn't interested, then what are you doing with them..? Make it clear what you want from the beginning, and if they aren't down with that, then, they're not right for you..

Be that as it may - it's what I want. Huisje, boompje, beestje, you know. If it gets boring - that's a problem I'll face in due time. At least I want to have tried once in my life. Just once to have someone interested in me in another way than sexual would be nice.

About suicide:

Not that I would like you to do so, but your point seems reasonable to me. If you look at what you do in your life, who your friends are, who your girlfriend is etcetera, and that's not at all what you want and you're sure you're never going to get what you want, you could just as well end it.

You just have to be reasonable about it. There's no place for emotions when dealing with such an issue.

That's equally depressing. Now I gotta walk away without even sex?

:D. Well, perhaps I'd like to keep her as my best friend anyway. Hmm..

Well, maybe if you're unhappy with all the guys and one night stands you've had in the last 7 years it's time to change where you meet men. Instead of meeting them in night clubs or parties, maybe you should look for them elsewhere and look for other type of guys... nice guys perhaps.

Yeah I know. That's why I'm being very business-like about it. A couple of more years, give it my best shot, see where it gets me and if that's no good: it's very unlikely I'll ever get to the place I want to be isn't it? Then why not end it.

We werent best friends, but we were good, solid friends. Then, I started to get annoyed because she only saw me as a friend and started being an asshole, then she started being a *****, one thing led to another and I fell out of love with her and now we dont really talk.

How would I do that? That's probably a relatively easy change to make in straight life but that doesn't go for me :lazy:

Why not? You see a guy in a supermarket, for example, you like, you go up to him. If e's not gay, fine, Holland is a liberal country, it's not like he'd kick your ass.

In fact, that's exactly what happened to me and that girl. I told her I didn't want to see her face in six months. Which was quite hard for her to do, since we were in the same class :). But after annoying her for six months (and actually hurting her undeliberately as well, because she was really fond of me as a friend), she just forgave me. The moment I started talking to her again, she said she had never felt better.
