Oh, I haven't given up, there's just nothing I can do right now. Every time I've tried to talk to her, it's made things worse. And she doesn't want me around. If I don't hear from her in a week or so, I'll try to get ahold of her. But I know she needs a few days break from me.

Maybe she cried because she knows you're the nicest guy in the world but she's not the one for you? But in any case, do try to get her to talk about it -- when she's ready. If she loves you, the least she could do is explain.

Man, Aban, that really sucks. My roommate was in the same situation a couple years ago. Only, my roommate was the one who suddenly changed his mind. That got to be a real messy sitution because the girlfriend dragged me into the fracas. I think what you're doing now, about giving her some time, is a good idea. I'll also echo what Tora has said. Just from what I know about you through your posts, you are really one of the nicest guys I think I've met. I don't think it's anything you've done to cause her to change her mind and leave. Maybe she either thinks that, now, you aren't right for her or that she suddenly got cold feet? I wish you well on this.
As for this thread, I think my lack of clarity in the original post and in my subsequent posts has led to this thread focusing on giving me advice. I really appreciate all the advice, and I really appreciate some of the humor tossed my way (boy, do I need the humour -- two killer finals on Wednesday). However, my intent wasn't to have a "oh woe is me I have no girlfriend" self-pity party. It was meant more to show that, I'm at the point where the advice I'm getting is getting a bit odd. I can see the picking up women at the symphony singles mixers. I can kinda see this at political rallies. However, at Trek conventions? I'm dubious on that.
So, to sum up, thanks for the advice, and I'll remember all of it. However, I'm not shopping for a girlfriend at the moment (or possibly ever thanks to a conversation I had today). Thank you all, and God Bless Turnips.

Wow. If Aban isn't succeeding in matters of love, then what hope have the rest of us got?
I might as well slice off my penis right now.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I am so depressed that I gave up on growing a beard. It looked silly anyway.

Never give up. There is a beard for every man, and some women. You just have to let grow a bit, then work with the razor to find something you like. It's been years in the process for me. Right now, my Goatee has hit about six inches long. I had one beard once, that I really liked, but like a fool, I shaved it for little reason, and have never got that shape again. It was also goatee like, but it was square. Eveytime I've tried to get it back to that shape, I've messed it up and ended up shaving and starting over. That's what led to what I have now.

The flashy red face and blinding yellow hair weren't enough for you?

Notice the number of people here with real facial air. And notice the number of people here who are geeks.
And why no pictures of Charles? We took the piss enough when you had the shit teenage hippy computer programer beard. Surely now that puberty has hit, it can't look as bad, can it?
Depressed, eh?

I was depressed enough to start copying Charles. Then I became more depressed, and stopped. Plus I remembered that beards on young 20-somethings look stupid. Like all beards.
Plus, I don't think I had enough facial hair to pull it off. Diane laughed!
