Uber Ritter:
That one's obviously not true.  I mean, my girlfriend was definately the one doing the pursuing, but I've never been a 'he's just not that into you' kinda guy.

Man, generalizing about men women and the relation between the two is probably the fastest way to being at least half wrong that I know.

Luke C:
My parents are pretty cool, we are very close.

My Dad is cool enough to come to gigs, even Metallica last year. My Mum's music taste is teh suck at times but she is everything a mother should be, loving and caring etc.

Everything Ive ever done good in my life has been inspired by them. My main problem is it is nigh on impossible for me to rebel against them, they are pretty understading. Maybe if I smoked or took class A drugs but I dont want to do those things!

calenlass:
Yeah, dawg. It has gotten to the point where if I am not the one doing the pursuing I have no idea how to handle the situation and it gets really awkward and uncomfortable.

My parents have always been objectively pretty cool.  My mom is an R.N. with a M.S. in biology; my dad's a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD in the education of children with autism.  They were both pretty seriously invested in making sure that they raised my brother and I healthily and happily--when we were small, they worked hard to create a stable, secure home for us. 

They've made their mistakes, and they've struggled through some rough spots (while my dad was getting his PhD and my mom was teaching preschool, money was pretty tight, but we never had to worry about having enough to eat or having beds to sleep in).  They're both manic depressive, and my mom's spent a couple of weeks in mental hospitals.  Ultimately, though, they pull through it all, continuing to love and support each other and remaining continual advocates for my now-20-year-old brother, who may never be able to live on his own.  They both have pretty strong personalities; I have clashed and once in a while still clash with them, but I love and respect them deeply, and we almost always manage to work out solutions that are beneficial to both parties.

Also, they're going to Burning Man this year.
