That's wonderful! Congratulations!

Baked chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, corn on the cob, and a couple cookies for dessert.

When I lived in the dorms, there was one oven in the entire complex, and I rarely made cookies because kids with bake pizzas and stuff took it over. But I also baked at like, 2am, just to be able to bake them.

I've also been considering making some of my own fishing tackle, and here was a guide I noticed:

A DIY guide

I don't know much about fishing, since most of the fishing I do is trout pond fishing, that or simply going to the river we're close to.

But I hope that helps!

I'd also suggest some basic wire twisting, as that can be super helpful.

Ahh, now comes the fun part, waiting for my supplies to get here. :P I got a couple new nifty things, pretty excited to try 'em out. Then comes the fun part of getting more supplies! WHOOOOO.

Break it off. She doesn't deserve to be strung along, and you should have considered her feelings when you found someone /better/. I ain't trying to be a b*tch, but the thing is that relationships based off of physical connections rarely last unless there's an insane amount of commitment from the get go.

Be honest, if there's one thing you should do for her, it's not trying to spare her feelings, that's either bogus, or a cop-out. No outright insults, don't call her stupid, you both didn't connect in the mental and physical, as well as the emotional level. Break it off NOW, or you'll be hurting her a LOT more as the relationship hunting progresses.

You aren't the only one with this problem.

But, usually what I do, is that I try to make conversation, see if I have anything in common with someone who catches my eye. I like to build up from a friendship, and I've been single, out of serious relationships since march of last year.

I'm something of an introvert, and honestly, having good friends who will eventually develop into a relationship is as important as the relationship itself.

Another thing you could try is just casually dating, but have it be nothing serious.

But that's my two cents. Good luck!

It's good you are being so strong about this. I've been told that before, but I didn't really bounce back very quickly. But it's taught me a lot.

I'm sorry to hear that, though.

"Warning, don't try and help her while she's cooking."

Nice and boring, honestly. I've had enough bad boys in my life.

Haha, I have a couple friends without ovens, but they still wanted cookies, so I decided to give them a few no bake recipes, and they were quite pleased.

But those cream wafers sound amazing. I think I may try making those, for a light refreshment, when I have a couple friends over the next time. :)

Alright, here's a BUNCH more cookie recipies. I decided to add a couple no bake cookie ones, because not everyone wants to use an oven during the summer. :)

Toasted english muffin with butter.

I like the pictures you posted, you look really easy going, and you look like a laid back, fun loving guy.

I also read the info you posted, and if you are trying to give off a good impression, you did a wonderful job.

I was in Choir for seven years.

I'm not allowed to advertise on this site, I sent the link to you yesterday, did you not get it?

I think I will, newarkjw. It sounds like a good plan, right now. Friends are lovely, and perhaps more in the future!

Curse you music I hear on commercials!

I'd hope not. I'm finally coming back to life, really. I'd be sad, I think, looking down at myself and not being able to continue the progress I've made.

@kmHI808

Thank you for the kind words. I think I'm actually ready for some sort of relationship, I feel that I am. I also know I won't put up with the BS I used to, when I was younger, I feel better then that. :)
