Wooing my neighbor: I came. I hugged. I wooed. Now moving on. (1 Viewer)

It started with first impressions.....it went south from the jump when he showed up at teh cookout with matching saints hat and shirt.  Thats impossible to recover from.

Why won't you fess up and tell us the whole story?  What have you got to lose?

Did you actually seal the deal with her?

Same as day one. I'm not going to reveal her identity. And I can't tell part of the story without telling all of the story about her, which would include things that would easily reveal her identity. Not happening. Sorry.

As far as my role in screwing things up, I definitely wish I had done a few things differently, but it was a strange situation meeting her kids (and her meeting mine) right away, which certainly wouldn't have happened if she didn't live next door. For me, that changed the whole dynamic.  And in hindsight, that dynamic changed how I played things with her.  When all was said and done though, I am not sure it would've mattered anyway.

colonel look we have all had a girl we were hugging the hell out of just up and leave that stuff happens my advice based on personal experience is book a flight to okinawa and once there save a village from a bunch of mean guys have your friend karate chop a log in half and in no time flat you will be dancing with a young lass in a castle who learns english almost immediately and you will be back on the hug train while peter setera brings it on home take that to the bank bromigo

Sure, that's one possibility, the other is that Chong Li beats the hell out of you in the Kumite and takes your Harley Davidson bandana.

The deck was stacked against you from the beginning. Living next door and kids being involved, there are only two realistic outcomes - either it works fantastically, or it ends awkwardly, with the latter being far more likely. Still, we'd all risk it for a shot at Marissa.  

 
Saints game this weekend.  Chance to bust out the gear.  Maybe host a watch party with a few friends and neighbors.  I know this much, Drew Brees does not give up when he is down by two scores and the refs are making ####ty calls, no Drew Brees digs deep and really starts balling.

:goodposting: :yes:  If we win and the Falcons win, I may need a sedative for next week's NFC championship.

look he can try but if that happens and for some miracle chong li did take his cargo shorts or whatever two words drum technique take that to the bank brohans 

 
this is a basic issue, even my dog won't soil his 'home' spaces.  being involved with someone constantly there (work) (next door) just won't end well.  add in failed marriages, kids, crazy, marisa's professional lifestyle, weight issues and an over abundance of saints gear, stir well, sprinkle in some old bay and you have yourself a sad crawfish boil, seasoned with tears.  

you gotta learn;

"There's an old saying in Louisiana—I know it's in NY probably in Louisiana -that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.'

Calling shenanigans on that. Cookout attire can certainly be a Saints hat/shirt. Your opinion is wrong. 
Click to expand...
Under no circumstance is that attire appropriate especially if you are trying to "woo" a female.  We had this discussion early on and the consensus was easily he should have worn something else.  You look juvenile and like the lowest common denominator mouth breather when you do so.  Have a little class.

Come on.  I don't buy for a minute that you're not smart enough to tell the story in a way that protects her identity and gets the message across.  We're not talking about Oprah here.  

 
Maybe I missed something, how is telling the whole story going to reveal her identity? Is she famous? Were you going to tap some famous Caboose.?

The pertinent details in and of themselves would be too revealing. And without those, there wouldn't be much else to tell. I told as much as I could throughout the saga. 

 
Woodward and Bernstein can keep the identity of someone who brought down a president a secret for 32 years, but the Colonel can't protect the name of a middle aged housefrau in Louisiana.

:lmao:

 
No one who's famous lives in the middle of Louisiana.  And to honestly believe you can't tell a story without providing enough info for the FBG brainiacs to be able to dox her is laughable.  NRJ--no one cares about trying to figure out her true identity.

You told her you like wearing women's panties, preferably Saints one, didn't you?

Actually, that clears it up.  I hadn't read the thread.  Bottom line, she did an about-face on the good Colonel.  And he took it hard.  Rejection.  No need to go into details about it; it hurts enough already.

That's my take anyway.  Good luck Nathan, you'll be fine, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks :thumbup:   And all the high (and low) spots are indexed in the first thread, if you want more context.

I'd be cool with that in 2016, but it's been more than a year and ol' code red is claiming hugs from many others now. The passage of time tends to fade past hurts and I'd be a touch worried if NRJ is still carrying a flame.

I've hesitated to come back in here for a bit, because I was a little down for a while. I wish I had a happier ending for you guys...

We've decided to go our separate ways. Mostly her, but looking back I think it's for the best. I think she realized she just wasn't ready for a relationship in general. She is very guarded, and she has very valid reasons for it. But she was nothing less than honest and open with me about it, so for that I am grateful. She still kinda broke my heart though. But I know things can't be forced. We are still in contact, although it is usually just short and sweet texts.  And no, before someone suggests it, she's not seeing someone else. At least not yet. lol  If that's what she wants though, I wish her nothing but the best, as all I wish is for her to be happy. I do still care about her greatly and I miss her, and I also miss her kids who I bonded with too of course.  

As for me, one day a few weeks ago, when I was feeling kind of down about all this, and wallowing in self-pity, I got a text out of the blue from a chick I had a crush on a couple years ago that I lost contact with, saying that she'd like to catch up. We've been to lunch, and are in talks to hang out again soon. It won't be threadworthy, but it will certainly help me. 

Lastly, I appreciate everyone who joined in the journey here, you certainly kept it fun for me.  

Happy New Year to you all, GBs.

Yep. The only thing I'd add to the above, as I thought about it for a long while over a good number of beers and after discussing with a couple of close friends, was that I suspect she may shut out anyone that tries to get too close, and I'm fairly sure I got closer than anyone had in a while.

Did you #### her or was your physical relationship limited to hugging and light kissing?

BTW, you will never be with her again.  The sooner you quit holding out hope, the better.  It's not the end of the world.

Go find some other ##### before you end up in your 60's thinking that you wish you were back at this stage of your life . . . when you could land some women which gravity hadn't totally screwed yet.

Definitely not holding out hope on this one. Maybe a little bit at first afterwards, but that faded. They're exes for a reason. :lol:

You can say that again.  JFC, people - if you're this starved for entertainment, there are other avenues.

I would hope you would support what this thread is, not what it is not. This individual has made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put himself on the line dozens of nights over the last year, to represent you, this message board. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your thread.
