Looking at it from that angle, I think -from the discussion this was continued from- that those that retain a good sense and tangible proof of 'accomplishment' can best cope with breakups

Heh... wonder of wonders...

Sara, my friend at work, has been kind of pestering me to hook up with her best friend who's been single for a long, long time. I've also been single for a long time, so despite misgivings (Sara is... odd...) I decided to try talking to this girl and, and...

We've got nigh-identical tastes in books, movies, TV shows, we both write for fun, we're both dog people, and she's that interesting girl-next-door type who's cute but doesn't realize she's cute. We've only talked a very little bit, but at the least I enjoy interacting with her and would not mind at all getting to know her better.

I'll just have to remember that sometimes Sara knows what she's talking about. Just not often.

Maybe she doesn't know how to act or has trouble expressing herself (in company)

And perhaps some people don't take themselves too seriously, that doesn't mean they can't be serious

Well, my first time visiting here ^^;
I've got a question. I've heard that, if a guy texts you while he's playing video games (especially CoD), then he really likes talking to you, or something? i'm curious, cause I've got a guy friend, I don't know that I'm interested in him or that I'm not, but on weekends we generally talk for about five hours at least one night, sometimes two, and one night I was texting him and he said he was sorry for the slow replies, he was playing CoD, and I asked if he wanted me to go then, and he said no not at all but not to expect quick replies. He seems, in general, like he may potentially be interested...or at least exploring the idea.
I thought up til today that it was probably just friendship, but now I'm wondering if my mother (the one who's been saying, since she knows about all this, that it looks like he may be interested) might be on to something.
I'm not asking if he likes me or anything like that, just wondering if it's anything significant (texting me while playing it)...wow, I cannot articulate this well, sorry >.<"

LOL ok now that's an interesting way to gauge interest.

Well yes I can see how stopping mid-game to reply to texts might be a sign of interest but I wouldn't bet money on that single detail. Now spending hours texting each other is a good indicator of interest but without further details it's also not much to go with. It's all up to you to figure out if he's interested: give some attention to his actions and reactions when you're with him, see if it seems like he's flirting with you.

Me either. It's just something I heard about guys and wondered if there was any truth.
Like I said, I'm still gauging interest, and also my speculations were based more on our conversations than videogaming. haha. He seems enthusiastic when talking to me in person, over text it's hard to tell since there's the lack of inflection, but he does seem to enjoy talking, and like I mentioned we talk for hours on end (like, 7 to midnight or 9 to 2 or whatever. round then.). He always gives me this big smile when he sees me, and asks me how I am and when I say good he seems genuinely happy. The interest seems to be mainly friendly, but like he's becoming interested in a little more. I'm just gonna sit and watch how it unfolds.

Quite honestly, I've never heard of such a thing. So I don't really think that single fact alone is enough to tell if he's interested in you or not. Still, the fact that you two can talk for hours is a very good sign, so I'd say that if there's any interest there on his side, it's certainly a promising start, at least.

I'm in this situation almost every day at some point. Like everyone else says, I wouldn't bet on this one occurrence, but if a guy can pull himself away from CoD to talk (on a continuous occasion), then he's got at least some sort of interest - either as a good friend or maybe even something more.

Hahaha, listen to me, speculating from a weak hypothesis and a stereotype that may or may not be true. As a note, my fellow male friends don't get text replies until I'm completely done playing online, but I will take breaks to respond to my female friends. Why? One, it's impolite to leave a lady waiting, and two, I can be certain that they often won't fill my inbox with pointless banter like every single one of my fellow mates do. XD And of course, every one of my mates tells me that I'm the odd guy out of the group for many of my ideals.

From what I've personally seen, my buds aren't even serious gamers and they find it hard to pull themselves away from a game to talk to anyone at all, so there's a good possibility that there's at least something there.

Then it simply becomes a question of what you would like to do about it.

:thumbsup: Very true, whatever path you take, hopefully everything works out for the best for you.

Also, I wouldn't take any sort of relationship advice from me too seriously; I don't have the proper experience I've just seen that situation several times with my other friends. XD

I thnking talking for hours in weekends especially at night are huge indicators. How many guy friends would spend talking for hours and hours? Not to many I believe unless your a special friend. Talking for hours shows that you guys can keep up decent conversations if you guys decide to date. Who knows maybe you guys could be considered a couple without even knowing it. It's almost feb the 14th so I'm kind of curious if he is going to get you gifts or not.

If he is an huge gaming fan or he loves CoD a lot or spends so much time in the game to not be a NOOB and he decide to answer text it is also another sign that he holds you in a positive light to even respond.

I think he just sees you as a really good friend he loves talking to, people tend to hold friends in high esteem, especially when they're having a lot of fun and see each other often. If he has thoughts about starting a relationship, I bet he wouldn't want to risk a friendship over it, so it will probably be just that, unless you suggest otherwise.
As for the CoD texting, he's either really pro and can wipe out a squad while texting, or just texting on his dead time :P

Being a gamer, if he's texting you while playing? HE REALLY FRIGGIN LIKES YOU.

No, seriously. I'd drop my game immediately and talk with my gf if I had the chance, probably just me though XD
