Sarcastic: I thought sex was a good way to strengthen a relationship. But then again, I'm a complete virgin and totally single.

no trust me...sex is not the best thing to keep the relationship....i was thinking the same...and I always had a great sex in my relationship, but i'm still single! however, if you don't have a good sex, then it's the end of the relationship for sure

When you have an emotional connection with your partner sex is the best.

Absolutely! No question about that fact.

However, I'm thinking that mayyyyybe Necaberis meant that as more along the line of a tad bit applied humor...? At least...it's how I first received it!

How about I never had sex with the girl I was trying to court recently and then we got in an argument and now she doesn't want to talk to me too much ne more. She hasn't completely stopped talking to me but I think I am getting the hint that she is not that into me...Yet she still picked up the phone the other day...Should I be so naive to blame technology? NO....Mind you...i met her after school ended (im a junior in college), saw her several times, then now she is busy every single weekend I try to make plans, though she does live somewhat far away. I am at my whits end here

hi batteryfoundinme,

she's not just that into you....or she's busy somewhere else....leave her alone and find another girl for yourself...the one that gives you attention and you feel like a man

I'm just wondering if you have any other girls there at the college that would go out with you?
