relationships and pool = what?

She doesn't really want any. Or maybe she does but she's afraid she'll like it and turn into one of those porn watching sex maniacs. :rolleyes:
I'm quite satisfied, thank you all for your concern!

Having met New Girl, I can understand New Guy's dilemma. Yes, she is young but she is also undoubtedly cute. He just gets sucked in when she flashes those eyelashes his way ...

Yes... I get quite sucked in when she flashes me her 'eyelashes'. ;) Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

She calls him during League night .... she tells him how she actually loves pool and she will embrace it forever if he just comes over and sees her that night... He gets all soppy on the phone, and before you know it, he's bolted into the moonlight.

Next day, she hates pool again.

This is the continuous cycle of New Guy and New Girl.

I need opinions on whether or not a relationship is good for a pool career or for a pool player in general. is it worth it? does it mess things up? or make things worse or more stressfull ? tell me what you know from experience or from plain knowledge.

Its not easy either way you go with it. Tim and I haven't always had it easy when it came to pool. He played on the PBT in the early to mid 90's and I'll be honest it really bugged me. He played in the US Open in 1995. Then I realized that it was a part of him and I loved him. Don't get me wrong we had some whopper of fights over it but we are still togther and going to celebrate 20 years. I do the Amateur Tour and he refurbs old cars...a switheroo huh? We started doing the tour and after several years his work schedule wouldn't allow him to be able to book the tour so I took over. We had to work out the understanding but it has been well worth it. Just thought you'd like to hear a pool players wife's point of view that ended up playing pool and running a tour. I stuck it out with him and him with me.

OK, gotcha! So what we have here is the following scenario. (do we need to chip in and buy him a tee or a sticker?)

Haha... good stuff. :D But to be fair, I've never walked out or left early from a league match (even when I wasn't playing). She does tend to call a lot during league matches however, and gets mad when I don't answer.

Just to clear one thing up, she is technically my ex-gf. We still see each other and hang out like we're togeter, but we're not. I know... I don't get it either. :confused:

DM, a t-shirt would be nice... XL please. :D

Ummm..you are "Mr. Good Enough Right Now". You save her from being lonely...she has a "kinda-sorta bf" so she doesn't feel like a loser when all of her friends are getting married....BUT you guys have an "understanding" so when Fabio comes along...then poof... she is gone. And, if it doesn't work out with Fabio you will take her back... Either way, she wins and you lose. I bet if the thin Anna Nichole was all up on you, your "technically ex-gf" would be PISSED! And hate to think what whould happen if you even thought about giving into the advances.

Nicely put. A few weeks ago, I went out on a date with some girl that I had met. My ex found out about it before the date happened and said she was cool with it. But, when I went out with this other girl my ex must have called around 20 times. It got so bad that I had to shut off my phone.

There's a term for that, also: "Friend With Benefits"

You keep telling yourself that!
I'm content being in a relationship that is able to transcend physical boundaries. I like being with someone with whom I share common interests and is not just trying to get in my pants.

I am pretty sure he is still trying to get in your pants. :cool:

Well, yeah, but it's not his primary objective. He likes having met someone he's attracted to that shares the same interests.

We actually discussed that and what LS was talking about. I told her straight that I wasn't interested in being her safety net. From the conversations we've had we decided to take it slow and just see where it goes. Is she leading me on? I don't know... I don't get that feeling. But, only time will tell.

To get back to the pool topic, she really does seem a little more understanding of it. She still doesn't support it, but at least she doesn't sabotage me anymore.

Yeah, girls are masters at that. Tip: People don't change. They only hide their true selves to suck you in, and next thing you know, she's knocked up with her "keep a nigga baby" in a further attempt to trap you (read: marry and get you out of the pool hall)!

Way back in the 70's & 80's (when I was on the road for 10 months a year), I had my share of relationships. Some lasted for the night - Some for a week or two and some developed into a traveling relationship.
If your heterosexual and traveling that much, it becomes a necessity. And quite a few times, the nice looking women around, actually woke up to the fact that I was a hustler, before the players did.
I do know that the song about - All the girls get prettier at closing time - had a lot of truth to it.

TY & GL

I went to Mickey Gilley's show in Branson to hear him play that song and he never played it, I guess the girls must have gave him too much crap about it.

My wife doesn't mind me playing pool because it gets me out of the house but we've been married 31 years. In a new relationship I would recommend finding a girl who likes pool rooms.

Now this might be the dumbest ass statement you've ever made. It's ALWAYS the primary objective if he's 100% man. But then on the other hand.... :rolleyes:

I figured it would be the "I don't date guys who watch porn".

Yeah, well if you met him... :p
