[QUOTE=lum1naire;34614882]I wish you luck. I have to ask a girl to prom soon too.. I'm gonna be in need of some extra testicular fortitude as I'll be asking in front of the school and doing something a little cheesy.. whether it's worth it or not we'll see I guess.[/QUOTE]

It's a bit much, but this is kind of what she wants, so I'll go through with it if it makes her happy.
Man I wish my prom was cooler than it was.
Enjoy yours!
our formal was shit.
i just sat outside, had a smoke, and broke things.
we also performed some music involving loud noises and screaming.
Everyone was wasted at ours and my boyfriend at the time wouldn't really let me go do anything, so I kind of just stayed attached to his hip while he danced with an old friend of his.
It was... eh
The dinner before was more fun than the dance itself.

yuck
[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;34612898]thats sorta true too
like the other day i was having a really plain conversation with this girl, but she put her hand on my leg at one point, and then i put my hand on her shoulder, and touched her hands
it makes an average conversation into something more[/QUOTE]
I agree with this. Touching a girl in a non invasive and not too awkward way makes you seem a tonne more confident and comfortable together. Simple things like holding her hand as you go through a dense crowd for a second can change the dynamics of a friendship significantly.

My formals were okay. I think the highlight was the bad egg History/Politics teacher getting students to do shots of vodka and tequila in a laneway outside.
Proms are supposed to suck.
You're supposed to go expecting it to be like the movies only to be shot down, that's just the way things are.
I knew that about prom and never went.
Besides tickets were like $99 and my parents aren't rich like all these other suburban peeps.
Homecoming warded me off to because I love being social but dances were NEVER my thing. I hated everything about them. The music, the way people acted. I love college. I can be my smart, normal self and still have friends without having to worry about not having swag.

Also, Breen, I don't like your attitude. At least in that one post it is fairly obnoxious. It feels as though you are trying to be superior.
And the assumptions. Horrible. High school really doesn't matter, irrelevant of your "social position." Ultimately it is only what you make it, but there is/was no reason for me to make anything of it.[/QUOTE]
you just told me to jump off a cliff, and you don't like [i]my[/i] attitude? It did matter for me because i'm making good money out of all the acquaintances, so just stop derailing the thread for gods sake
[editline]9th February 2012[/editline]
now i'm derailing the thread, i apologize
This is what happens when someone that struggles to fit in on an online forum makes a thread dedicated to social and relationship advice.
I love people complaining about the friend zone.
I liked a friend of mine, I asked her out, she agreed and told me she liked me too. We went on a couple of dates, which were great. Then she suddenly decided us going out was a bad idea and wanted to go straight back to being friends, even admitting she still liked me, she just didn't want to 'ruin' the friendship.
[b]That[/b] my friends, is the friend zone.
I can already tell that I'm probably an extremely weak person and an example of everything that is wrong with humanity, so I think I'll just avoid even attempting any kind of relationship with anyone forever.
I think it sounds like a good plan, anyways. Why try if your chances are a solid 0%?

Have you even tried? There's no point in giving up until you've tried you know.

holy shit people
I'm far from perfect. I may pussy out on something once in a while but jesus christ. Do we need to fly BDA out to you and have you touch his beard to give you a fragment of its manly power? Listen to some manly music or something.

Literally the only thing stopping you from being a badass is that you think you can't.
[editline]9th February 2012[/editline]
Your homework:
-Drink a manly beverage. (extra points if it's Talisker 30)
-Eat a manly meal.
-Listen to a manly song. Preferably a whole manly album.
-Watch a samurai movie.
-Update something of your personal appearance in a manly way.
-Mediate on life and death.
[editline]9th February 2012[/editline]
Oh wait, you're 15. Firstly, that explains a lot. Secondly, no extra points for Talisker 30. In fact, minus points. You're too young. It would be a waste.

we can help with that
Telling a girl about how sexy Kanye West is is definitely a good idea. Definitely.
[editline]9th February 2012[/editline]
Actually it worked! Yeah!
I told you my story in the past two pages, and I have one last question before the date this Friday.
I was thinking about going to a restaurant or casual cafe before the move (A 7:10 showing of "The Woman in Black", a horror movie). Nothing too fancy, but I wasn't sure if a coffee shop would be a bad idea, just for grabbing a quick bite before seeing the movie. Or should we go to a restaurant?
Coffee Shop so you dont fuck up and miss the movie some how
I like the coffee shop idea better. It's a much more relaxed environment imo.
This is a bit difficult to explain but..
I don't know if any of you guys remember me posting in the previous thread late last year (I don't think you would have to go that far back in my post history to have a look) about that Friend I hadn't seen for i while I ultimately failed to get, well things have changed in the last week.
I go to this Games Club at College and recently this girl signed up to it and I admit it maybe a bit too early to tell but I think there maybe an oppurtunity for something more. The only problem I'm having is that some people in the club have started to notice that were i'm spending quite a bit of time talking to her and have started asking me in front of her if i will ask her out. I usually reply with a rude hand gesture but I ultimately have no idea how to respond, I obviously don't want to admit I like her and I feel if i keep silent it'll add fuel to the flames, also if just say no I don't think they will keep asking anyway.
okay so i'll make this one quick. this friend of mine is dating the girl i like, and i know they're in a rough patch right now.
so, just today said friend and i were chatting on fb, when suddenly he brought up going to the movies with a girl he used to like, and how it's pissing his girlfriend off. now he's turning to me to help him out. i told him i'm not going to run his relationship for him - but he's persistent.
i'm not an asshole, so i don't want to ruin his shit, but at the same time i like his girl and kind of wish she were single.
while this is going on, his girlfriend + the other girl keep asking me to chill with them - a lot. i really don't know what to make of it. probably a friendzone type thing.

how does he hope that you will "help him out" exactly?
[QUOTE=Turnips5;34626226]how does he hope that you will "help him out" exactly?[/QUOTE]
pretty much by talking to his girl for him.
i'm not his bitch, so i told him i wouldn't do it, but like i said, the guy's persistent
I think I'll roll with that idea. One of my friends has a date tonight, and she's being taken out to a coffee shop too.
That said, would a starbucks be tacky or two chain-y? Or something a bit more "original" or "home-y"?

Ask her out. You sorta wanna do that since they're going to, just like you said, add more fuel to the flames if you delay doing so.
Asking another guy to solve problems in your relationship sounds retarded lol.
