[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;35896184]Most people where I grew up were the same, non-practicing catholics, most of whom were agnostic anyway. I still can't respect someone who won't use their head for five minutes and would rather just sheep along with everyone else in their society. It's a huge joke. Why wouldn't it be the atheists who get prickly about it? I don't see why it would be the religious people, they don't have a fucking leg to stand on. I'm sure they get along best by avoiding thinking about it as much as possible. I have a friend who goes to youth church as a social thing, even though he conceded to atheism after I talked to him about actual beliefs for like ten minutes. I feel pretty bad for him actually, church is like his entire social circle, so he's pretending to be a devout christian the whole time (religious "casuals" don't go to this youth church thing, I've met some of his church friends and they're horrendous, it really is like a christian cult) Also I'm absolutely fine with someone practicing religious [i]values[/i]. The problem is the people that take all the metaphors and fables literally. People who go to church and think they're talking to an omnipotent superbeing. Who think that everything is where it is because a "higher power" put it there. It's archaic and fucking childish. The human race has been aware of its origins and how more or less every element of the world around them functions and comprises a whole for many generations. There's no sense in living by fiction anymore. Back when various religions were conceived, it was understandable. People weren't ignorant by choice then, it was just the status quo and deities provided answers. Not that it was a good idea since an ideology like that is so easily abused, as history demonstrates. But now? In the 21st century? The answers are right there on wikipedia. It's ludicrous to think that informed and educated people will still choose ignorance rather than deviate from those around them. It's that kind of mentality that allows things like the holocaust to occur. Religion is outmoded, a holdover from a former age, and in my opinion it has far more potential for harm than good.[/QUOTE] My christian friend told me once that Wikipedia is ~90% false information. He then proceeded to use it for the group school work we were doing. Nope, not hypocritical at all.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;35902659]I don't get those, but I have to reply with something similar unless I want to start a new convo, which I clearly am not a fan of doing. I'm pretty sure I've complained about this guy before in this thread. So far I have not replied to him for 12 hours. SEVEN TEXT MESSAGES.[/QUOTE]You would think that he would've gotten the point by the third message
So do you guys remember that one person I was talking about who kept texting me over and over asking to hang out? Yeah, he's [I]still[/I] texting me regularly despite me not having responded to a single one of his messages. It's starting to become a bit worrying.
[QUOTE=Glitch360;35903605]You would think that he would've gotten the point by the third message[/QUOTE] I'm going to elaborate on what happened after I told him to just Google it (well I just replied [url]www.google.com[/url] but still) He said he's at work, which is true. He interns at some medical processing place, so he has a cube and his own computer. The questions he asked me were: Can I save the Dungeons and Dragons character creator to my computer? How can I save to a PDF when all I can do is print? First question, you can't, and second there are PDF printers out there but I don't know any without Googling. So he said he doesn't want to Google it since he's at work. However the website for the character creator is blocked at his workplace so it doesn't matter anyway. So not only did he ask a question that could be answered with a Google search, he doesn't want to Google search and wants to download a Silverlight application so he can work on his character at work. I don't even.

Perhaps not in such a harsh tone, but getting that point across withouth leaving anything to his optimistic imagination.
Ok I see there's a discussion goin' on here but since this is the love advice thread i'll hope for the best, here goes. So in one of my college classes, there's this really cute girl that I never talked to before. Since I had the chance to tell the friend of her's alone I did. She was willing to give me her number but I said no thanks (i'm really shy most of the time but I have my moments.) The next week the girl I like shows up to class alone without the friend so I spotted her alone at a table and said why not this is my chance. I went up to her and asked her if her friend had told her what I said (if so, I was going to go forward) She supposedly had no idea. So I told her she looks beautiful and literally said "I'm just going to walk away." (i really do think this was my downfall). She laughed and that was it. Now considering my past situations, she's probably a one-itis thing but I can't fully absorb it yet. Do I leave it alone? (i do think so) The fact is though that next week is the last class. I'll probably get over it but I'm seriously torn.
In my experience calling a chick beautiful is not a great way to get off on the right foot.
Oh well, I tried I guess.
You need to be more direct, next time you see her say "I want to fuck you so hard" and she'll finally come round.
[QUOTE=Lukeo;35904940]You need to be more direct, next time you see her say "I want to fuck you so hard" and she'll finally come round.[/QUOTE] I agreed with you until your example :v: Being direct is more just like "Hey would you like to go to X with me on Y?" Which is what he should have done. It would have been 100% less awkward than "you're beautiful."
Rate me disagree if you smell
No I never asked for the girl's number (might 've worded the first message wrong) the friend was willing to give me her number. I said no thanks because what was I going to do text her or call her without her knowing who I am at least? I'm just happy that I got it off my chest, that's all. It's just now I'm wondering if I regret how I went about doing this.
Ah that's better, but you still fucked up (we've all been there). :v: Live and learn I guess, but next time, just ask her out directly, perhaps get to know her a little first.
No, the friend offered the number. Read closer.
So my prom date keeps sending me texts saying "Drake, I love you" Im not sure if she means it but, being teenagers, I doubt it. I guess the question is, how do I respond to it without being a creep.

"I love myself too, we have so much in common"

[QUOTE=JohanGS;35905742]"I love you too, Josh"[/QUOTE] Oh my god this
Oh ya, I forgot to mention that she said Thank you so much and smiled after I told her, probably the usual response but if it means anything...
Well then ask her out for some coffee/tea/acid or something
asking her out for acid is a great idea
Alright, so I guess I will give an update on my little crush-situation. In short, I got rejected. Hard. I told her that I like her, and she sort of said "uhh thanks" and then walked off. I was later informed by a friend that she didn't want me to so much as make eye contact with her ever again.

Were you like staring her down or something that made her feel uncomfortable?
oh my god Lukeo just asked me out for acid *swoon*
Not staring her down at all, actually I really didn't make eye contact when I said it. I was standing next to her, and it was more of a "I think you're cute" comment. I guess I made her really uncomfortable or something. I feel bad though, because I guess I made it awkward somehow. [editline]10th May 2012[/editline] Probably the whole fact that it was sort of out of the blue. I don't blame her.
[QUOTE=Blazyd;35907048]Such eye contact? Were you like staring her down or something that made her feel uncomfortable?[/QUOTE] You misunderstood what he said. He meant to say that she became so unnerved by him, that she would shun everything, even eye contact, with him.
Quite frankly, I feel better now that I've thought about it. I was mad before. [editline]10th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Phsykotik;35907152]You misunderstood what he said. He meant to say that she became so unnerved by him, that she would shun everything, even eye contact, with him.[/QUOTE] The eye contact thing I am in the process of investigating, the guy who told me it tends to exaggerate a bit. I should have never started it though, it made things awkward for both her and I.
How would I go about finding out if another girl likes me? Without seeming too creepy, of course.
