[QUOTE=ramirez!;38131255]Title fits.[/QUOTE] I never said it was not a dick move of me. [editline]21st October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Kopimi;38131325]"im sorry" "fuck you god IM SO PISSED"[/QUOTE] She didn't say sorry till after.
[QUOTE=Jackald;38131891]Uh, okay, update on this, she's now on her way to my flat for some 1am bacon sandwiches. Help, wat do?![/QUOTE] Make her a sausage sandwich.
[QUOTE=Megafan;38131388]Ironic that on the internet where you really have time to prepare a response you flipped out, but in person you had restraint.[/QUOTE] She broke up with me in a text message.
[QUOTE=Jackald;38131373][b]Sorry this is a bit long[/b] So uh first time poster here, no idea if you guys are just going to laugh at me and ask whether I lift or whatever, but fuckit i am genuinely clueless. So i'm at University in halls of residence, and this girl I know invited me and some friends for a drink at the students' union, 3 girls and 2 dudes including me. She invited us back to her flat to watch Resident Evil (They're pretty nerdy and we liked the idea of laughing at it), but not everyone wanted to go, so in the end it's just me, Inviting girl, other girl and nerdy dude. Halfway through the nerdy dude has to go out for a phone call. He's insanely nerdy and pretty reclusive, but we paused the film for him anyway. Anyway, basically I was under a blanket with the other girl, and she initiated a tickle fight with me, which the inviting girl joined in with a little bit, but not as much. Other girl kept telling me to budge up, and I made a few jokes about how she had an unfair advantage because I couldn't tickle her upper body, which she seemed to find funny. Anyway, during the film she was kind of close I guess, but only because we were next to each other on the blanket. Inviting girl and nerdy dude were there too, with nerdy dude under the blanket but not close. I guess I was sort of close, and she leant in a few times when there was gore (she didn't like the gore) But the thing is, I was talking to her and she's been single for a year and a half, says she finds it annoying when guys hit on her constantly, and i'm not really sure if she's into me or not. She's invited me to go to an expo in London this Friday, and she's going to go as Lilly and is helping me dress as James. I'm seriously unsure about if she's into me or not, because the whole tickle thing suggests yes, but she doesn't sound like she'd be looking for any relationship; was it just harmless flirting? I'm not very good with this sort of thing. It pisses me off because I can practically feel the spaghetti coming out of my pockets for asking this, but have you guys got any advice? tl;dr girl got in a tickle fight with me, but she's 1 1/2 years single and doesn't like guys hitting on her, is she into me or just harmlessly flirting?[/QUOTE] Sounds like she's quite interested in you. Don't rush it - go along, enjoy the expo, get a feel for her intentions on the day and take it further if the timing feels right.
[QUOTE=Rhenae;38124848]You know what, just for shits and giggles, what words did I use incorrectly and how? Since its been brought up twice like I was trying to sound smart, when of course I wasn't.[/QUOTE] Well arrite. [quote]I'm not being a smartass i'm pointing out a social function you have used.[/quote] Here you use the term "social function." Normally that phrase means a party or other gathering of people, but you're using it really vaguely just to mean "behavior," which is both confusing (since that's not what it means) and pointlessly wordy. It also gives the irritating impression that you're trying to act like a psyche major or something by "analyzing" the person you're talking to. Then, by immediately following it with a very pedestrian verb like "used" you create a jarring shift in your level of diction. [quote]For many years I was subjected to the negative end of preconceptions and related topics because I wore slightly "gothic" or "emo" clothing.[/quote] Here you use "the negative end of..." to qualify the word "preconceptions," which is redundant because people would already assume that being harrassed due to people's preconceptions about you is bad. The other thing is that "the negative end of..." is really awkward phrasing and isn't idiomatic in the way you seem to think it is. In other words, "the negative end of XXXX" isn't a construction people ever use. People might say "the bad side of..." or "the dark side of..." but "the negative end of" is weird and sounds like you just took one of those common idioms and replaced the words with a thesaurus. Next, you add "and related topics." Two more problems: one, it adds nothing to the sentence. It's too vague to communicate any information with respect to what you already wrote. Second, topics isn't a synonym for "things." You say "...and related topics." Related to what? Preconceptions? Unless you were talking about having a discussion about preconceptions, it wouldn't be a topic. So the phrase "and related topics" does nothing but dilute your sentence with meaningless verbiage. [quote]Not only was there descrimination from the other kids in the school teachers would treat me differently, and often ask me to remove my armwarmers for no good reason, other than that they were arm warmers which are assosiated with cutting so they made me take them off to make sure I wasn't being an emo.[/quote] Nothing too bad about this sentence except that you spelled "discrimination" wrong and it's not punctuated very well. [quote]And for case in point for the incredibly stupid teachers, I wore long sleeves at times when I would have cuts because i'm not stupid.[/quote] If you're going to use "case in point" in the middle of a sentence, it needs an "a" in front of it. You would say "for a case in point," not "for case in point."

Thoughts on making advances towards a girl who is in a completely different social group than I? Like I'm Mr. Basketball College Prep Dude who hangs with business majors while she is all artsy fartsy who hangs with a bunch of neckbeards, skinny nerds, Gus from Breaking Bad, and possible lesbians. Irregardless I'm gonna try for her digits
i really hate (okay not hate but i think they're all weirdos) hipsters and those film and art major kids but once in a while, ill get invited to one of their parties and its kinda fun. i like the frat scene since im always at my friends frat house but they're fun too
not mentioning the words "basketball", "college prep", or "business major" will probably help [editline]21st October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;38135135]i really hate (okay not hate but i think they're all weirdos) hipsters and those film and art major kids[/QUOTE] no it's cool we hate everyone else
[QUOTE=thisispain;38135140]not mentioning the words "basketball", "college prep", or "business major" will probably help [editline]21st October 2012[/editline] no it's cool we hate everyone else[/QUOTE] Shit son I gotta talk about that jawnt if I get that far or else it's not 100% me yo
just say you're doing it ironnically
you know actually I take that back. I still think a lot of them are odd and Ill probably make fun of them occasionally but since they're odd and quirky they're fun to be around. Plus the girls tend to be more attractive. Hipster girls are hot but hipster guys just annoy me I should goto more of those parties
sometimes i'm embarrassed of how hipster my friends and i are like the other day i realized none of my friends have business skills or tangible job skills and we'll probably all end up poor at 30 working a desk job
I hope radio and communications doesnt fail for me. Otherwise, army here I come

[QUOTE=Jackald;38136803]So she came over, we made some bacon sandwiches, she came to chill in my room for a bit and she showed me how to play league of legends, we ended up sharing the one chair and making "cheesy moves" which we kept making jokes about. Long story short she slept with me in my bed (not "sex" slept with, just cuddling and stuff) and we're now going out. tl;dr, I think League of Legends just got me a girlfriend.[/QUOTE] league of legends sucks dick but nice job bruh
