allarmeniangirl Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Excuses/Breakups <_< What's the lamest breakup or worst excuse of dating u all ever heard? Like, if u asked out someone, what excuse did they give to tell u "no" or the lamest breakup lines. I know some girls usually say things like, "I just wanna be friends" and etc. Also what excuses you've given to your ex's. Hope I'm not opening a closed wound cuz I'm just asking. maybe we'll learn something from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel4hope Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 haha armogirl jan...i can say.... im GUILTY as charged! I once used that "let's just be friends" because the guy was going way too far way too soon...well id only known him for like a month..and to be honest i like to get to know someone really well....as friends, before they ask me out and i decide to say yes....so he was being really weird and was already begining to get serious...and come on i was not even 16 yet...and i just wanted 2 gt to know him better and didnt want a relationship at that time...so when he got too serious i broke the news to him and told him that i was only in it as friends and that at the time i didnt want to get involved...so i unintentionally made the poor guy cry..i still feel bad when i remember, but come on...i wasnt ready for a relationship...lol....to be honest its best to start off as friends...and if its meant to be...something will happen along the way...im the kind that doesnt like to jump into things too fast...

allarmeniangirl Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 hehehe. i know what ur saying angel but isn't it sometimes bad to start out as friends and then get serious. what if the friendship gets ruined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevo27 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 i have never asked anyone out for dating purposes, but iv declined many times with the same excuse. LOL "Sorry, but i dont date" LMAO.... that scares them off... well ofcourse if they r closer friends iv said, "well, im sorry but im soo busy right now and i mean your fun and kewl and all, but i just dont have any time," Oh and when i am asked by a non-armenian, "I love you and all, but it just wont worjout between our cultures," and thats got to be the worst one to say.. cause when they ask why, I have no answer...... hmmm.. sad,, your right allarmeniangirl jan, this did open wounds.......now im bleeding again...

Anonymouse Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I haven't been in any human relationship to break up, but if I had the chance I'd say to the girl that the magic 8 ball said "Outlook not so good." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel4hope Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 i ve never really been in a relationship ever, ive only had people ask me out, or have been friends with them....so i feel clueless to whether its wrong to say you only want to be friends..because i tell people straight out what i feel when it comes to relationships (boyfriend/girlfriend ones) ....so i dunno i play by my own rules...

Stormig Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 (edited) Why wouldn't it work out between cultures when it comes to dating? You're not marrying them. From what I know, Armenians stopped the use of chaperons a long time ago. Edited January 26, 2004 by Stormig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allarmeniangirl Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Why wouldn't it work out between cultures when it comes to dating? You're not marrying them..... it wouldn't work out because u date to someday actually marrying that person. I know i wouldn't date anyone who's not armenian because what if i fall in love with that person and then i will be forced to break it off because of the difference in culture. that will hurt me and him. just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Love" ( rather infatuation ) is not bound by culture or race. Armenian culture here in the State is changing. Culture is not uniform. You might get along just fine with someone that is not Armenian, for most of your ideas and character is shaped by American culture, whether English, or the schools, or even movies and television. Moreover, how many people, in their conscience, talk to themselves in Armenian, or English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel4hope Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 (edited) honestly i talk to myself in english most of the time..and sometimes in armenian...i know that it is possible to fall in "love"- actually lust or what not with a person from another culture if you allow yourself to...but i personally dont think i could..because love has a whole different meaning for me.it means respect and more than just the word "love" each person defines it to their own expereinces...you cant just think about yourself here..what about your parents?? if they dont approve...its sad....also if god wanted us to be a cultural fruit punch he'd create us that way...this is why we have different cultures and beliefes..doesnt mena we should all hate eachother because of our differences.. but also doesnt mean that we all mix and vecome some unidentifiable form of blobb...

Moreover, how many people, in their conscience, talk to themselves in Armenian, or English? that's the point. that i might get along with the person who is not armenian and will want to continue seeing that person but i knoe that i will never be able to actually marry that person because of our different cultures/nationalities. my parents play a huge role in this too, but i'm sure u know what i'm talking about and i won't go into that. the part about talking in english, yes of corse, but my significant other might not appreciate my culture's side. sure it will work in the beginning of the relationship/marriage but it will soon fade. so basically, why put myself through the actual process of dating a non-armenian who i have no intention of marrying? i don't wanna be heartbroken.

sev-mard Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 i used to say that as an excuse but now i don't because when i say that, they look at me like i'm a racist or something. one guy actually got really mad at me 4 saying that, so i don't say that anymore. i'm sorry. now i feel bad Well that's actually a semi-cool thing to say. It's honet. Rather than include someone else's feeling when you know it won't work out. That can be worse some times, leading ppl on.

Maral Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Girls I am so proud of you! It's really impressive that in this day and age of freedom,we still have girls who know they have to marry Armenians...for whatever reason....and only think of serious dating in terms of marriage in the long run... Tell me what your parents did to have you think like this and I'll do it too...for now I've absolutely forbid it with my girls...but they are young,it's easy now My 13 year old and I had a discussin,arguemtent,about her dating that AShton Kuchar guy I really really really made me happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
