I wrote a few about a gril that broke up with me.

Rereading it now and it makes me cringe, though I still miss her. It's just not very good:

I wish I could write,
Just a few short lines alone,
And when I start to think,
My thought could be my own.

I wish I could sleep soundly,
In that cool and silky bed,
But you just insist,
To keep running through my head.

Now, no one criticizes,
My cold glass of lager beer,
And no mention of the dishes,
Or complaints burning off my ear.

I just wish when you left,
With your accessories,
You'd have brought an extra box,
To fill with memories.

Yes. I never got to send it to her, though.

I wanted to take things a lot slower than she wanted. She wanted sex right away, but I wanted to spend time developing a relationship, becoming romantic.

She left me, and got knocked up within a month after we parted ways.

She was the love of my life. If we had dated for long enough I probably would have asked her to marry me.

I've written poetry for gfs in the past, but I pulled the plug on it once I realized women only truly appreciate that kind of thing as an idea rather than a reality. I still write on occasion, but nothing of this sort will ever see the light of day again.

You say that, but as long as it wasn't over the top cringe, she probably loved it.

Everytime I've shared some poetry I was reading (I have a Neruda translation that I flick trhough from time to time) every girl has wanted me to read some to her. A few months ago some girl sent me a message the morning after saying how she loved that I read her poetry.

I think it's a signal that your artsy or some deep sensitive guy. To be frank, I like poetry, but its more a fascination than something that gives me alot of pleasure, because I don't necessarily understand alot of it.

I know this girl who really presents as a silly bimbo. We were texting one time and I told her I would talk to her tomorrow cus I was going to read. She asked me to recommend her a book. She ended up reading a full Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel (don't remember which one.) and asked me a bunch of questions about it.

That women is probably more well versed in Latin American literature than 90% of Canadians and she doesn't even know it.

Why would I ever do that? If you know her and you're not already in a relationship or flirting, that means she’s not interested. Writing a poem in that scenario might create an artificial attraction—which you might be too unaware to realize—that will eventually wear off and come back to haunt you later. On the other hand, if you are together, you’re unnecessarily risking looking like a total fool. Women are with you for who you were when you got together, so if you’re not a romantic, don’t try to become one. Btw none of these fags in here claiming to have gotten laid over poems (which never happened) understand how anything works: she already wanted to fuck you retards.

I wrote a letter and it worked, made her like me a lot. Granted we'd already briefly dated which had gone well. Threw a tiny excerpt of Rimbaud in (cringe I know) because she spoke French. The key is to be fun and kind of lighthearted with it. Don't be too serious. And also know your audience, what she'd probably go for etc.

I've had an extremely varied love life but I'm mostly over it now. Amy was right, it's a losing game. Just find someone reasonable who's looking for the same things, don't mistake infatuation for love. They're different things

This all started when the first girl I was involved with was raped, tried to kill herself, and committed to an institution. And teenage me was frothing at the mouth and tried to hire a hitman to go after the person. After she got out and slowly drifted into an abyss of substance abuse I nearly lost my mind. The highs aren't worth it. Seriously, just like there are people who can't handle alcohol, there are people who can't handle romance. I'm the latter variety and I steer clear of it now.

You are my assassin.

For your loose smile, organized stance. Rebellious soul, but a heart so bittersweet.
Your body smooth and cold, and your mouth always a flaming inferno.
To your painful exile in the arts, and your brilliant mind.
Your figure always so muddy, but so clear
In my dreams, your voice will always torment me
The longing for your soul will kill me
And I don't know if in heaven or hell There's a place for those who won't let the world go
The memories are sharp.
Each and every word affects me like a thousand razors.
Your affection, your concern and empathy, your knives.

Will it be my fate, because lf this quiet hope... to live constantly haunted? Haunted by such a crime, the one of love.

I, of all the men on this earth, do not deserve this.
I am a corpse, foolish, passed away, happy.
My destiny is to rot out of this world.

My last words.
Damn, I hate love so much, au revoir.

I have never had a gf and every woman I have attempted to court has rejected in month or less

>> No.23831635

What the media portrays wrong is that love poems should come after you are both already in the relationship, and not as part of the courting process.
A woman either loves you, or she does not. Vomiting your emotions onto a sheet of paper in rhythmic fashion won't change that fact. If anything most women will be turned off by your act of submission.

this nigga tryna re-live the 1890s when you had to ask a girl's father's permission and answer 20 page questionnaires about the ethics of sexual copulation just to hold a hoe's hand.

I think that he meant "rizz up" or, if you have achieved "unc status", "pull up" a "baddie", a "shortie".

Dawg, I'm severely average-looking and am certifiably autistic. My only selling point is that I'm a good writer. I've bagged, like, thirty women. Time for a new approach.

>Really isn't that hard as long as you aren't fat or ugly.
Most people in this board, or the internet, or in America are fat and ugly, sometimes both.

It's really not just about being ugly. It's also about a lack of self-love in a lot of anons' cases which makes them think they are undeserving of genuine love and affection, and they cover it up with cynicism and hatred towards women. Basically sour graping.

O beauteous fate
o whimsical girl
When you linked up with me you made my heart twirl

Pure collaboration, no room for indignation

Serendipity at its most fine

But I know in my heart of hearts
That a spirit such as you shall never be mine

Every time I've ever read the acronym "smd" in the past, I've interpreted it to mean "shaking my dick"—like "baka." It is only now that I realize this whole time it's meant "suck my dick." This is dissapointing to me.

>"baka"
String substitution should be removed from this website. It's a clear violation of my right to free speech; it's an infringement on my constitutional rights; It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.
Also, SM**nigger**H is technically not an acronym but an abbreviation. Acronyms need to sound like normal words when pronounced, i.e., NASA, LASER, SCUBA, BEE(yourself).
