[QUOTE=G3rman;36842312]Hey, learn to condense your story into something small and easily readable. The internet doesn't care if it means we have to read for more than a minute.[/QUOTE]I don't know about you, but I certainly don't have the attention span of a goldfish
[QUOTE=Glitch360;36842379]I don't know about you, but I certainly don't have the attention span of a goldfish[/QUOTE] I don't know about you, but I have the ability to summarize.

[QUOTE=Glitch360;36842414]He did say it was going to be a long read, why bitch about it?[/QUOTE] Because it [I]doesn't have to be a long read[/I] if he summarized. But whatever, I got the gist of it and I say; Move on with your life, it isn't the end of the world.
Sorry G3rman, here's a tl;dr version: 1. Friend introduces me to girl. 2. I have huge crush on girl and we start getting to know each other. 3. I tell the girl I like her and I think she likes me back at this point. 4. Another friend intervenes by trying to "help" without me wanting him to. 5. Girl thinks I'm a creeper and that I'm the one who told my friend to "help," when I really didn't.

You don't need to be on your hands and knees to this girl, you have already apologized enough. Just keep living your life and if she chooses to contact you, she does if not then it isn't worth it anyway. Women like men with a certain aloofness, that they are too good for her so they set a challenge to get him. By apologizing and fixating on her you are showing that you are really interested, something which might put her off. Just back off.

In fact, it would probably be best if I didn't bring up the incident with Leon anymore at all, thanks!
[QUOTE=Disseminate;36842184]You probably have something in common with them. Shared class, go to the same school, live in the same area, listen to the same news etc. Just start a conversation based on that.[/QUOTE] Same school a couple of years ago is the only thing, and I tried to have a conversation about it but it didn't go anywhere from that. I don't think it's a subject either of us really want to talk about.
Sorry but does that really need to be that long?In reference to last page, I'm curious as to what problem needs 15 paragraphs, reading now. So you basically someone upset a girl, you got the blame and she doesn't seem to want to forgive you, just move on. "I told her about how ever since I laid eyes on her that I thought she was beautiful and how I've had a crush on her for the past month", don't do that next time. Also Leon is a dumbass.
I'm really ok with the large text. Can't read it now because I'm studying, but I'll read it soon.
[QUOTE=temporaryacct;36842287]Originally posted [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1199133]here[/url]. What do you guys think I should do?[/QUOTE] So she's never had a relationship, but is waiting for "the one" to come and essentially scoop her up? How does she know what she likes if she's never been in a relationship or even given anybody the time of day? If she is giving you a second chance, dont be a dumbass this time. I would just act like everything's cool and start fresh. Also, Leon is a fuckwad.
[QUOTE]i just want to say that I love you more than anything, everything, and noone will ever be able to change that my heart is yours forever[/QUOTE] thats the last message my gf sent me before going out of town for a while. Am I a douche or is she trying to manipulate me into not talking to other girls?

[QUOTE=thisispain;36845555]baaaaaad advice[/QUOTE] Not really, it's true that most girls tend to avoid men who actively pursue them especially if they weren't all that interested in the first place. It isn't like in most romance movies where the guy wears the girl down, generally they get annoyed and then you get to creeper status.
Well, if you fuck up in the first place by being all obsessive and creeper like then it is your goddamn fault.
except the problem is he let his friends fuck up his entire business. let's not make assumptions about "most girls" because that's shitty advice. you give advice based on the situation, not based on your own assumptions that will get proven wrong like 5 years later. to temporaryacct JUST FUCKIN ASK HER OUT JESUS CHRIST

[QUOTE=Behemoth_PT;36839204]Hey guys. Sorry for the reaction from my post above. It sounds like an excuse but I was about to leave home at the time and I didn't have much time to explain things properly.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Behemoth_PT;36787311]Yeah, should have thought of that earlier instead of blah blah blah I'm so butthurt[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=areolop;36847207]Monday cannot come any sooner...[/QUOTE] That plan you posted previously was a joke right? Right?
[QUOTE=Lukeo;36847268]That plan you posted previously was a joke right? Right?[/QUOTE] Yes, 90% of it was however, I am stopping by in uniform.
Shoot her in the leg to get her full attention
3 weeks until classes are over and i get to spend 10 days with my bf hurraaaay
[QUOTE=Lukeo;36847341]Shoot her in the leg to get her full attention[/QUOTE] She's a sucker for me in uniform so when I show up unexpectedly on monday... She'll either be really happy to see me or be really confused. Either way, I'm asking her on a date
A guest at our hotel apparently told one of the other desk workers that I looked like cute puppy. Do chicks dig cute puppies? I've got to get a haircut.
[QUOTE=G3rman;36845726]Not really, it's true that most girls tend to avoid men who actively pursue them especially if they weren't all that interested in the first place[/QUOTE] um a lot of men do this too so i'm not sure what point you're making translation: here is a cliche i know about women. watch me pretend it is good advice
Been studying hard for the exams and the last one is tomorrow morning. Meanwhile I met a nice girl from university about a week ago. She's into the same music I am (music is a great deal to me), loves concerts and that, so out of the blue at the end of the conversation (we met today cause I've been in uni studying), I invited her for a concert and to grab some beers afterwards. She said yes. aaaand I have a date after the exam. I'm going to pick her up at her place but I'm kinda nervous cause I haven't been having any driving practice and my mom's car is the only one I have available at the time. So I'm kind of afraid something might be wrong cause it has a minor malfunction in the clutch (It's an Audi 80) so it's kind of hard to make the clutch point. But that's the only way I have to make the date work so, here I go. I'm not planing on smoking nor drinking to much either, just having a nice chat enjoying company. It's just that it's been quite some time since I've been with a girl (since last September) so I'm a little nervous (maybe insecure). I want this to go right. Any useful tips/advices that I might take in consideration?
