The post... to end all posts.

[Ganon]

So I got this new job just now, I know this guy through my dad's work, me, my dad and me mum went over to his house last Sunday, he says to me, "Hey, you like dogs? Then want a job? You can start tomorrow!" So it turns out I'm workin 8-12, days varying with when they need me, and I'm walking dogs and cleaning out kennels for this boarding/grooming place. It's a real good job, the work's tough but not too tough, and the people are all friendly enough. So today we get a new visitor, a Great Dane pup of 7 months, and for some reason, they ask ME to walk it. She was a real sweetheart and everything, but I was getting dragged around most of the time, at points I had to literately RUN to keep up with me, and at one point it tried to jump on me, and I nearly fell over. Then at the end, as I was taking it in, it stepped on my foot, an unpleasant situation, let me assure you.
So, then there's this girl I REALLY REALLY like, and I know she at least LIKES me, we're friends and all, so the last day of finals week, she's standing with one of her friends(whom I don't know) outside her locker after the exam I decided to vouche, and I ask her how it went. Now, the girl I like is friendly enough, real nice in fact, but the girl she's with gives me this LOOK like I'd just shot her mother and was now asking her if I could shoot her father, too, when I hadn't done ANYTHING to her, I didn't even KNOW her, and GOD, it's just so frustrating, I have no idea why she gave me the look. And I forgot to ask the girl I really like out, I forgot to ask her anything really, so now I'm stuck waiting for school to start again so I can approach her.
So then Star Wars Galaxies comes out, and I think, "Ok, I'll wait a while and see how many people like it and stuff", but then it turns out all the servers CRASH on the first day, there's all this stuff about player caps and people not being able to get on servers, people complaining about bugs, and now I'm just not sure, and I can't get on the official forum to ASK because you can only post there if you have an SWG account now, so I'm stuck waiting for a review or something, I dunno.
So then I get this new graphics card, an ATI Radeon 9800(non-Pro) and it performs well enough, only thing is I get trouble when I try to overclock it. Well, I get trouble when I try to overclock it a BIT, not just like by 20, but still, and so now I don't know if I'll be able to overclock it, and I assume my system's good enough for DOOM 3, but since the benchmarks are inconclusive and they haven't released a test or demo yet, I'm screwed until they do, and the wait could be a little while.
So then I ask this friend, out of NOWHERE and I DON'T know why I asked him if he'd had sex, and he said yes, and well I never have, and for some stupid reason I asked him what it's like, and for some reason I got all depressed, and I haven't gotten out of it since. I don't know why I'm depressed, maybe just because... that's just it, I have no clue, so as if I didn't have enough to think about, I now have my own feelings I'm completely unsure of, and I'm seriously considering converting to Mormonism for the sex.
I think I'd like to keep this post going

So I've got all this MONEY now from my new job, and I don't know what to do with it, got no friggin clue, and I just have too much of it, I guess I'll save most of it, but then I've considered further upgrading my PC, and if I do want SWG I'll need $15 a month for that, and then there's the whole matter of how if I get a girlfriend, that'll obviously drain money, and then there's this whole MESS of other junk, like college, my future, what I want to do when I grow up, and just other stuff that's forming a huge roadblock in my mind, and I have trouble going to sleep at night because I can't get my mind to wind down at the end of the day, so much to think about, and so... I dunno.

[ThorsHammer2]

And now for this commercial break.

And now back to our regular scheduled minutiae.

[AR81]

We all have our moments of ranting...:D
I had mine a few months ago...

[{TDC}FR33K]

ahhhh... don't ya just love caffeine? :D

[Gentry]

If you were a woman, I'd suggest talking it over with a good friend, reading a book, and having a "You," day.
Since you're a man, have you tried something brutal that doesn't take much thought? Seriously, it's worth a shot.
If all fails, just point yourself and your wallet to your nearest Red Light district and have sex. Another thing I'm seriously recommending.
I'm... much older than you will ever be. And I still don't know what I want to do with my life. This is a blessing. The day I know what I want to do the rest of my life is the day I personally end my life.

[Invisible]

I hope he's not on drugs. Don't do it man! Drugs are going to ruing your life. And you'll lose all your friends!

[AR81]

What to do with money?
Do something that brings a smile to your face.
It really worth the price when you get that...:)

Else, you could invest your money to start saving for your future.

[Ganon]

So then I ask my friend if he knows if she has a boyfriend or if she likes me or anything, and he says he doesn't know, he can't really think of anyone who would know, stuff like that, and it's not like I can call anyone, the walls in this house are paper-thin, my parents and sister will hear any and everything, so I either need to steal one of thier cell phones and go on a long walk, which would look suspicious, needless to say, find a telephone booth, again, suspicious, or find a way to make whatever room I want to use soundproof, at which point I run the risk of not being able to hear who I'm talking to, and the reason I don't want my mom, dad, and sister to hear, for one thing, is because they're MY MOM, DAD, AND SISTER, and for another thing, because they already sort of know I like her and every time I say the word "girl" they all go "aaaaaaaaaaaaawww" and badger me with questions about her, and when I'm rude and short with them they act all surprised, like if you ask a rude, insensitive question, you shouldn't expect a rude, insensitive answer, which is COMPLETELY stupid, and only shows that they're really quite old-fashioned and demand complete respect 24/7, which is quite annoying, I assure you, and then there's the tiny fact that I really think I LOVE this girl(and I never ever use the "L" word), and so if I blow it with her, who knows, I may sink into even DEEPER depression, and I honestly can't think of any OTHER girls I know who I'd like to even ask out, let alone marry(I've known this girl for a bit), and so if she says no, it's like I have to wait till I change schools YET AGAIN or go to college to find another girl worth liking, though I suppose some girl now might change, I might notice someone, or someone might transfer in, but barring that, if I blow it with this girl, that's pretty much it for a while, which is why I'm so frigging NUTS about whether or not to/when/where/how to ask her out, normally when I talk to her I don't get nervous, but this wouldn't exactly be a discussion about exams or the weather or a particularly nasty class we've just had, and I THINK I've known her long enough, but I'm not entirely sure, I mean some people ask people out on the first day and later get married, right, so I guess there's just a different time for everyone, I just hope I can get something that's the right time for her, she brightens my DAY every time I see a bit of her hair passing in the hallway, when I talk to her it's like everything bad just fades away, and when I sit next to her in class, every cell in my body is crying out, "JUST TAKE HER IN HER ARMS, YOU COWARD, HOLD HER AND DON'T LET GO!" except for my brain, which then kicks in and acts cruelly rational so that I refrain from so much as "accidentally" brushing my arm against hers, and it's driving me nuts having been away from her for this past month,

Does your school have a directory? Why don't you just try and look the girl up?

[Steve_Shapiro]

You say you love her now, yet you haven't even started dating her? Go out with her for a year, then come back and tell us how things went after buying her flowers, jewelry, candy, and paying for dinner and a movie too many times.

Girls are leeches. Plus on top of it you're depressed just because you're a virgin? Dude, take your time with trying to be happy. Things don't come to you all at once.

Answer seems simple enough.

Use Money on Sex.

I actually don't recommend this, having never done it myself (except indirectly, such as buying a drink at the bar), but you may find it a release. :confused:

she brightens my DAY every time I see a bit of her hair passing in the hallway, when I talk to her it's like everything bad just fades away, and when I sit next to her in class, every cell in my body is crying out, "JUST TAKE HER IN HER ARMS, YOU COWARD, HOLD HER AND DON'T LET GO!" except for my brain, which then kicks in and acts cruelly rational so that I refrain from so much as "accidentally" brushing my arm against hers, and it's driving me nuts having been away from her for this past month,

Better to rant every now and then than to keep it all bottled up inside and explode in a violent rage one day.

Well I COULD do that, but then she might get wierd about where I got her number, I dunno, some girls are like that, they don't like you calling them unless you ask for thier number, but then there's always the possibility that she'll be flattered that I took the effort to track her down, and then, of course, the possibility that she'll be freaked out, and so I have to either wait ANOTHER month and a half or go WAY out on a limb, a few friends have suggested just asking her if she wants to hang out somewhere "as a friend", and I guess that's fine, but where, is a movie too forward for that, or because it's "as a friend", is a movie just fine, or would bowling be good, or mini-golf, or something like that, or maybe just hanging out at the Dairy Queen, though that seems kind of lame, I guess I could ask her what she wants to do, but she might expect me to make all the decisions, I dunno, so I should probably work out what I want to say before I call, IF I call, IF I look up her number, IF I decide not to wait until school starts and spend a bit more time with her and ask her THEN, and so here we are, back at square one, whenever I've gone out on a limb before, the limb's caught on fire under my hands, whenever I stick my neck out, it always gets chopped off, so that's why I'm scared, I don't wanna blow it with this girl, AAAAAAAAH!

[Chaloobi]

Quit making excuses and do it. It's just like Luke Skywalker - you can't be a real Jedi until you face your fear head on.

[Chaloobi]

How do you know he's not a teenager?


I assume you mean "How do I know he IS a teenager?" And if you're serious, I have to answer with:

Oh come ON! This has got teen angst written all over it. He doesn't want to call the girl because he's afraid his sister and his paretns will hear him on the friggn' phone! He's walking dogs for a living and he thinks he's rolling in dough! That can only come from someone who doesn't have any expenses! It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to make this deduction - LOL.

You will think that this is a stupid idea, but what you really need is a woman’s opinion on this, so.... Talk to your mom about this girl, about how you should approach her now that school is out, and very importantly, how this girl acts around you.

Your mom will be able to give you answers as to how this girl would react to you asking her out, and tell you the least threatening way to approach her during the summer.

And by the way, if you think that this would be embarrassing, you have no idea what it would be like if you do end up going out with her. Your parents will want to meet her, Have her over for dinner, show her you baby pictures, tell here all the embarrassing stories from when you were growing up....

[Chaloobi]

You know, depending on how old and how cool your sister is, she might be a good source of advice too. Maybe more in line with the times than your mother. . . .

Maybe. She can be obnoxious almost all of the time... but... maybe.. Or I could get advice from one of my girl friends at school, of course then there's still the problem of school starting...

Edit: BTW, I always thought it was "And when she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41"... are there two versions?

[Invisible]

Mothers are ****ty places to get advice. I heard a guy got advice from his mother alright. She even told him to get a prostitute so he could be more comfortable with women. At the age of 26 he was still spending all the money he made at Burger King on those pay-for-f*ck sluts. She even told him to go up to a girl at a Community College and tell her what he thought of her. He went up to her and told her that he thought about her at night, that she was getting him "all excited". After a while, he was kicked out of the Community College. :haha: :haha: (No, it wasn't me.) :haha:

Guess the only thing I can come up with is find a way to force a casual conversation. Like, if she's a member of some club, join the club so you'll have "casual" access to her.

The other thing, find a way to distract yourself sometimes. Like play video games etc. Don't spend all your time thinking about one thing. It reminds me of a hamster rolling real fast in one of those windmill things or whatever you call it.

About Lizzie Borden - I remembered that little rhyme from a comedy album my parents used to play when I was a kid. I'm not sure what the exact text was, but this is how I remembered it.

A you day ... :haha:
Such good advice!

Don't buy what you can someday get for free. That free thing being sex.

You need to stop thinking so much Ganon. It is not looking like it is good for you, but considering you are obsessing about a girl I can understand.
I suggest just calling her. It is the safest, fastest, surest way to end your pain, or get on with the recovery of your first broken heart. It irritates me when people would rather suffer in thought than take action. And, btw, girls like a guy who can take action.
Just call her and ask her out ... not as friends (meaning don't bring that up then later hope she will just love you to pieces) just ask her out. To movie, food, whatever. Don't give too many details about what you are feeling, just ask her out.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Meaning, don't print this whole rant out and show it to her until you are dating ... only then will she think it is cute.
Basically, call her (don't worry about where you get the number ... it can mysterious that way) ask her out and don't overwhelm her with your insanity. ;)

[Ganon]

Just say you called a psychic, and her number happened to be the one the psychic said belongs to a special person.:)

At the very least you can ask her if she'd like to go somewhere with you and your friends (if you don't want to risk asking her out right away).

Or you can pay some guy to try to rob her and then get beat up by you.;)

Sadly, warder, it wouldn't be the first. And that psychic line... I was gonna call you a lamer, but I can't insult that kitty avatar...

[Chaloobi]

Mr. Invisible:

Point taken. Yes, your stories are definitely nuts. No, I concede your advice was not nuts. I'm not sure I agree with it, but it's not nuts.

And your picture makes you look nuts. My guess is that's the look you were going for, so maybe it's not a good indicator of sanity. But you look nuts.

[Chaloobi]

Or you can pay some guy to try to rob her and then get beat up by you.

Works for me every time! :haha:

[Indictus Ira]

Hmm, if you mentioned you had a fever I'd tend to believe more of what you said, else what you just wrote says you are interested, but not overly so. :)

Take Warders advice talk to her direct. As nike says "Just do it!"... :p

[Ganon]

I think I'm gonna ask her, so how do I do it? Should I say, "Hey, me and my(older, though I don't actually say that) sister are going x on x night, you wanna come with?" or "Hey, do you wanna hang out sometime?" or what?

[Chaloobi]

Skip the sister thing and do it like this:

Hi, I was wondering if you'd like to go to a movie sometime?
You would?
Great. How about Saturday?
You're busy Saturday? Well, how about Friday instead.
Great. So what do you want to see?
The Hulk? Ok, great. I haven't seen it either (note: say this even if you have seen it). . . . . . . . . . . . . and so on . . . . . .

Pointers . . . .

-I assume you have access to a car? Pick her up at her house-
-be on time, not too early and definitely not late-
-be prepared to meet her parents, be charming and look them in the eye-
-clean out your car and wash it if it's dirty before you pick her up-
-smile a lot-
-tell her she looks nice-
-buy her popcorn and a soda or whatever else she wants-
-if its not too late, and things are going well, go for ice-cream after-
-don't try to kiss her or touch her on the first date-
-open doors for her-
-don't swear and be very polite-
-don't tell her you're crazy about her or anything like that or you'll scare her away-
-be fun-
-when you say goodnight, say something like 'I'll call you' or 'we should do this again, it was fun' or whatever

Oh. Well, so how do you go on a date then? What do pre-drivers do anymore? I can't remember. . . . you meet there, don't you? Hmmm....

Meeting there's an option. Or my sister can take us, but I dunno...

[Ganon]

Got her number and address. Here's what I'm wondering now: Is Thursday too late to ask for her to do something Saturday? Or is it too early? Or does it not really matter that much...? Also: My plan is a movie, we meet there, I tell her dad to pick her up a bit later than he might be able to. :)

[Chaloobi]

I'd go with the sister option - if your sister's pretty cool. Maybe. That's a judgement call.

You may get a no answer this weekend due to the 4th of July holiday - you are in the US right? Anyway, if she's got some kind of picnic thing on Saturday. . . . . But I don't think it's too late to ask on a Thursday. You just up your risk that she's got other plans and has to say no. In that case, you say 'how about next weekend. . .?' But try not to sound too anxious or needy. Desperation is a turn-off.
