Craziest stunt for love?
I know I have publicly admitted to being a completely lazy dater with barely enough energy to devote to one guy. I can also confess that I am cautious (overly?) about giving my heart to someone and being vulnerable.
The reason I am this way, though – is because I have been stuck on stupid for a guy before. It wasn’t pretty, people! I was not the rational, level-headed, wise woman you all know and love (*cough*) today. I was the snooping, insecure, pull out all the stops kind of girl. Why? Because a man had me “feeling” as if I was head over heels.
That’s right people, we have all pulled some crazy stunts in the name of “love” or lust, or infatuation. Let’s confess. What is the craziest thing you have done to impress someone or an attempt to make someone fall for you?
No judgment zone, right? Right?

(translation: she planned on forgiving him and staying and didn’t want to “make him mad).
Man, the things some women accept in their lives, make excuses for, then cry themselves to sleep over.

I know that you like those doggies in Athens, but know who I am talking about. Darth Visor and the fighting Chickens!!
We’ve gotten the best of the doggies the last couple of years and we are always a thorn in the doggies sides.

GO SC STATE BEAT GA STATE TONIGHT @ THE DOME!!!!
Umm Lady I’ll be at that game cheering for GSU!!!!
I love going in the backyard and dropping the traps in the morning and pulling up blue crab in the evening.
John’s Island is close to my neck of the woods in Charleston(Chucktown) and going crabbing is one of the things I miss most. We didn’t use traps…we used bait and caught them ourselves…which was always awesome. I make it a point to eat crabs as often as I can when I’m in town.
On topic: I haven’t done anything crazy for love. I’m sure there are going to be some good posts on this subject…either that or an early topic change…
BTW: Hellur and good mornting

But we have seen, historically. And it really hasn’t been that close overall. IJS…

Crazy Love story~ I had a friend back in the day that was dating a bartender from here and she lived in SC. Chick thought he was running around with another woman (which he was) and drove here in the middle of te night after putting her kids to bed, slashed his tires and f’ed up his car, spray painted a$$hole on his door (while he was inside apparently doing the nasty with said other chick) and drove back to SC before her children woke up. I was like WOA! That is some gangster isht right there…

Sassy – That’s right, GSU all the way! I’m a Dawg, but went to GSU for grad school, so I’m a Panther too!! Bump South Cackylacky State!!LOL!!!
On topic – The worst I did was phone-stalk a couple of dudes back in my younger days! I rode with a buddy of mine that is one of those crazy types. She had a feeling her dude was married, so once when she knew he was out of town she made a visit to his house. I sat in the car. Yep, the wife came to the door and they had a nice convo!
Wife got dude on the phone while my friend was there! Wife said she dealt with his cheating before and was THINKING about leaving him! The bad thing was that dude had taken my friend to their home many times and had her spend the night, even weekends there. There were no pics up of the 2 of them, no real signs that a woman lived there, but my friend knew something wasn’t right!!! Meanwhile, I was dumbfounded!!

Yeah, back in the day, I’ve dealt a bit of crazy but no regrets. It was just and due. By right, I should have been locked up but buddy there would be a double portion so he made the right move in that aspect. Will I EVER do anything remotely stupid again? Never. Just move away if a dude smells of taint.

I didn’t even use the mascot name in the post. So, I don’t know. I referenced Alabama and/or LSU would beat either UGA or South Carolina.
As for the games, they have been close even when I played we made the Dawgs sweat. We were always up for them. It was usually decided in the 4th quarter. Only with UGA were we competitive. UGA Coach Ray “Zaxby Man” Goff was dumb and didn’t use Garrison Hearst or Terrell Davis much against us. He relied on Eric Zeir (or however you spell his name).

“What crazy stuff have you done? “
Alright, I’ll own up to some punkery in my past…
I once walked in on one of my exes (the lesbian ex) fingering herself while on the phone having phone sex w/ some other lesbian chick that she’d met in some chat room. So, I just dropped trou, hopped on her back & f__ked her while she was still on the phone.
Yeah, it was a strange relationship…

I told y’all about a friend of mine getting his Mercedes keyed and another had to call the police on a chic that came to his house and trapped him in there with another. I got trapped in the house before but I allowed (all my fault) it to happen and I regretted it later.

*MLB’s, some of you have had your nose wide opened at some point. What crazy stuff have you done? This recklessness isn’t solely reserved for women.*
I can honestly say that I haven’t done anything reckless directly based on a female that “had” me. I have done the usual young dumb and full of ______ stuff that was more about showing females in general that I “wasn’t skeered”.
You may remember the doctor that I used to talk about. I dated her before meeting Mrs. PG. She would aggravate me, but I didn’t let her get me to that point. She was ( and still is) gorgeous, tall, and sweet as honey. However, she was more spoiled that some milk that was in my bachelor apartment refrigerator.
We were talking marriage. I never proposed to her, though. Her spoiledness (thank you, Rev. Jackson-I know that I can make up a word when needed) would bother me to the point that I started to dread spending time or even calling her. I knew then that it wouldn’t be smart to continue the relationship. She wanted forever and I wasn’t willing to endure forever hoping that I’d get over her spoiledness. It was fair to both of us to cut her loose so she could find what she needed.
When people ask (and they still ask) why did I let her go, I simply say “She is great and I am great. However, we weren’t great together and let’s leave it at that. ”
Her spoiledness would have me wanting to “shake the ____ out of her”. She is a successful pediatrician. A sista that is used to getting what she wanted, when she wanted, without regard for other people.” It is what made her successful in business, but it didn’t mix well with me.

Blackfoote – If I might add….I agree on men tripping too. The LLL (long time lover) followed me around, literally for two years. Was sitting in front of my house one of those times. Had my kid running because it frightened her to see him sitting in front of the house…

i sent her balloons after only our third date. It was intended to b cute, nothing more. I didn’t realize that the balloons would have “I love you” written all over them. (Of course, I did fall for her, but I wasn’t going to just blurt that out after only the third date.)

“Leggs I’m sure some guys have done some crazy stuff. We don’t tell because it makse us appear soft.” We women realize that, but if we can make ourselves look downright stupid at times, why can’t you guys be forthcoming and show us that your heart has made you do stupid things as well. AND,
swiss’ example isn’t a punk move, it sounds like it was more a macho move. BAM, take that, BAM, you want another woman….BAM, how you like that…BAM BAM BAM!!!!!

Well damn…see that’s some very poor playa skills right there…just sloppy. I will admit that in the past I’ve gone to my bf’s house and took his side chick WITH me…I rang the doorbell and when he opened the door (@ 9 a.m. on a Satrdy) he looked like
and ran…literally. The other time I did it was when I took dudes clothes in a black trash bag and threw them all over the lawn…
I was young then but I wouldn’t do that now. Have I been tempted?…yes but my ego won’t let me do it.

PoppaG ~ you always talk about that woman and how spoiled she was. You never let her looks trap you, but it was hard to walk away at first. Then, she just got on your last nerve (lololol) and you happily skipped down the stairs into your car and drove away as fast as the horsepower of your engine would allow.

A friend of mine had te guy she dated who wanted to move in after the third date. e was all ” I know you’re the one and we are gonna be togeter forever so let’s just go on and make this move.”
I told her if she moved in with him she was a fool. She cut ties and ran. We still laugh about her crazy dating stories. (Sidebar: she is still single so now I wonder if he might not be the one that got away!)

Leggs –
Yep. I was impressed with her. Her daddy spoiled her to a point that I couldn’t really deal with. I probably could have continued her lifestyle and granting her what she wanted, but I would have suffered.
It was difficult but I was rewarded for doing the right thing.
Tall Big Angry Black man isn’t a good look. So, I have to be like Bruce Banner learn how to control my emotions. Can’t get hemmed up over a big booty and a smile. Bell, Biv, Devoe’s warning is something that I heeded.
