How is this right?

Amg oing to share with you why I'm having a bad day but there's a bit of backgroudn so bear with me.....
I'm a St. John Ambulance cadet-every year cadets can be nominated for the county cadet of the year prize bazed on their contribution to the organisation. their peers etc. I was nominated and among the 4 picked for the finals where we had team challenges, interviews, a presentation, a cv to write etc. I won-making me the Surrey St. John Ambulance cadet of the year :D
The coty from each county over England and Northern Ireland head to Oxford for a national coty competition over a week (this was about 2 weekends back). It was a really great weekend and although I didn't win I had a really good time and met some really great people.....especially the lass from Notinghamshire! We got on really well through the whole weekend and at the party I asked her to dance-she said no. I still liked her and we hung out for the rest of the weekend.
Now last night we were speakign and she told me that she really likes me but was to nervous to dance (not many people were!) and that she wishes we lived closer together..........as I'm now it the situation where I am at a college of 700 girls and 300 guys but the one lass who I really really like and who really like me lives 180 miles away :rolleyes:

And you're from Cobh too ..... bad time all round.

:rolleyes: tpyical city boy response :D

first of all liam ,well done on your great win, :) its a very valuable skill that you are learning.

long distance relationships (although its not really that far ;) ....has it a chance ?.who knows.. its up to the two of you to make it work. :)

All that mouth to mouth training and for what? :eek:
I went out with a girl from Manchester for years, before I met Mrs GG (Who's 2g Irish from the same town as myself, it turns out!). Long distance relationships can work, but they're hard work. Oh yes, and expensive... :o Good luck anyway. :)

I know how you feel.
Here I am, stuck in Reading while Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang in Smallville) lives somewhere in North America. :D

Agree, I'm with my Czech girlfriend 5 years now, and she only moved to Dublin a year ago, so can be really expensive. But if you want it to work enough, it will. ;)


And to make it better, she loves football, and is getting a season ticket for the Saints :D SWEET

You're too young to get caught up in that stuff Liam. Plenty more fish as they say....

If I was you in a College of 700 females then I know I'd be making sure I was going to enjoy myself :D

You won't be long in forgetting ;)

If you get caught up in a long distance relationship now at your young age it'll just hamper your next few years growing up. Fair enough it'd be good when you do see her but then you'd spend miserable nights when you weren't together.

Just txt her and say "Tough sh!t baby, you had your chance but it'd be morally wrong of me if I didn't share my body with with the hordes of females at my college".

She won't be long in forgetting you that way either :D

Same town "over here" or at "home"? If the former, did she attend SJA?

:) PP

If its meant to happen,it will occur naturally,unknown to yourself!

Try either one. Nottingham's not a universe away (although many of its occupants do seem to inhabit another planet ;) ). You seem to find London easily enough, although given the time it takes you to save the money to buy me a pint, you'll be retiring before you ever have the train fare to go and see yer wan... ;)

I'd go along with this. Long-distance relationships are all well and good I suppose but having made the effort a few times I'd be wary of trying it again (though as I say this I should own up to missing my own emigration date last week because I was talking to an ex long-distance girlf about moving to Cork and trying again. We're not. I hope to emigrate next week finally).

Er... anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, back to you Liam, the very fact that you're open enough to ask for advice from the hordes of cynical, jaded reprobates on this site suggests to me that you're a decent, trusting sort of fellow. Stay in touch with the girl by all means. Text her on and off, e-mail her if possible, call every once in a while. And who knows where it will lead.

But in the meantime you've got 700 girls to practice on! Make the most of it! Just don't tell them you're from Cobh! ;)

Almost both, strangely.
Although Dad's from Waterford/Kilburn, he's lived in Cobh for years. My wife's mum is from Cork City. We met at a party in Chalfont, where we were both brought up. It amuses us that although we'd both gone out with people from far away, we ended up settling down with someone from the same town, with the shared experience of growing up 2g, and all the baggage that goes with it. It also means that when we go back we can visit all the rellies in one go.

Sorry, but interfering with marine wildlife is always going to be wrong.

Ever meet Richard Treacy in the St.John Amb. ? You'd know if you did, he's a tosser :)

Your job for today is to find out the technical term for fornication with marine life. :D

To back up what 12th said, well done son, done a course myself with the SJA and failed, so I pretty much know the time and dedication you must have put in to have passed it, and good luck in the finals BTW.

As for the young seniorita, remember nothing ventured nothing gained, at least if nothing comes of it you can at least say that you tried.
