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:

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. :)

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?

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.

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.

Liam. well done on the course. As for the young lady ...I promise I'm not talking down to ya but at your age I'd say let her walk mate. That's coming from someone who p i ssed away the best years of youth in dead end long term relationships when I could've been in on the hunt (well officially I could've been in on the hunt anyway ;) )

That said best of luck with whatever you decide. :)

Love ....love exciting and new!!!!!!!!!! :D

No worries buddy :D
Thanks lads on the congratualtion and advice....really is much appreciated-always found you guys good for advice (ye lal older and wiser with a lot more experience than me :D )
Aye we have both decided a long distance relationship isn't going to work out in the long run and I'll be activily available at college (although I won't stop wearing ma Cobh jersey!)
This situation may change if, when a Buckingham Palace for the St. John Ambulance Grand Prior reception in March, me and her end up together......it'd just be the classest joint for a first date :D

Thanks again lads! :D

I lived in London for 2 years and never saw Buckingham Palace. Never got round to it.

On another note Liam - long distance relationships are tough. When I moved to London I tried to keep a relationship going in Ireland but to no avail. I think you need to be in the same location.

Though - I'm one to speak. I'm going out with a Canadian girl now and looks like I'll have to make the plunge and move there.

I used to have a mad thing for one of my friends in college for fecking ages, but nothing ever came of it. After our finals (while drunk of course) I told her about this and I got the 'Ok' and odd look sort of thing, now she's in the same class as me in my masters. (Before this I had scored a friend of ours, who had a thing for me although I wasnt really up for anything serious she was still interested in me after that, but this is just a side issue). 2 weekends ago was it was her (the girl I had a thing for) birthday and she introduced me to one of her friends who was pretty damn cute and also mentioned that this friend thought that I was very nice :) Anyway we got on really well and swapped numbers and what have you. 3 days after I was talking to my friend and she tells me that now she likes me and wishes that she had told me this when I origionally said it to her! We had already arranged that the same group would go out the next Saturday, so in the same place would be the girl I now like, the girl that now likes me and the girl that might liked me all along, and they're all fecking friends of eachother. Bloody brilliant!

I did the only thing that I could do and got very very drunk and told the girl that I was with before that I wasnt interested in her, so thats one down and one to choose from ;)

As far as I can see, the morel of the story is that Im a stud :D :cool:

Fair play to ya Tony. You are a stud by the sounds of it. I reckon you should give it a lash with the wan who you originally liked and you will have completed the hattrick.
You're more prolific than Tony Cascarino, but hardly as prolific as Tony Cottee. :D
