I just love how fabulous this chicken is

[–]MrHoman 20 points21 points ago

I ask girls out and get rejected all the time. I have no idea how people pretend like hearing no isn't that bad. The first few are okay, but each cut gets deeper and deeper, and eventually it sucks.

[–]DrScrambledEggplants 2 points3 points ago

Were on the same boat my friend...

[–]MrHoman 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry you are a passenger with me :( I didn't bring enough Cheetos to share

[–]DrScrambledEggplants 1 point2 points ago

Its ok, I didn't bring enough applejuice to share eitheir :(

[–]MrHoman 1 point2 points ago

Oh :(

[–]DrScrambledEggplants 0 points1 point ago

But I do have a kit-kat. Here, Ill break it in half, two for both of us. Now lets just open it up carefully.

Aaaaaaaaand its melted.

[–]MrHoman 1 point2 points ago

am I the only one

Who actually likes melted chocolate?

[–]DrScrambledEggplants -1 points0 points ago

If you wanted it, then here you go...

Hey look, a crab got on the boat. And he stole the choclate! Oh well, Ill just grab it back from him. Oh no! A seagull took the crab away while it was still holding the Kit-Kat! Not to worry, I could just shoot it with my glock. Oh... the seagull and the crab just got eaten by a Great White. Hey, at least we can kill the shark for food now! Ok im targeting him, sights right on his head. Here we go! Wait, what the hell just ate that Great White? Ah well, we didnt want that choclate anyway, right? Cause I got...

EXTREME PIZZA FLAVORED GOLDFIIIIIIIISH!

This episode of kit kat mishaps brought to you by the department of health.

[–]erikpdxPlease touch me -1 points0 points ago

How many have you asked out? If you get one "yes" for twenty "no"'s you're doing pretty good.

[–]mentallyblind 16 points17 points ago

Good on you! Not too many of us do so for fear of losing a friend or the fear of rejection. Maybe that's just me.

[–]monkatFlairman. -1 points0 points ago

Totally!

And afterwords, it's so awkward between you two that you never talk to him/her again. There are regrets.

[–]Offensive_BruteI'm no superman 4 points5 points ago

if the friendship is strong, it can be worked through. you just have to seek that understanding.

[–]nicolai93 5 points6 points ago

Only awkward if you make it be.

[–]TheDezzicK 9 points10 points ago

They make it be.

[–]doomgiver98 0 points1 point ago

That's why you ask out people you don't know yet. It's too bad I only do things with people I know.

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 6 points7 points ago

don't ever blame yourself for trying. you did everything right.

how do you feel about the experience?

[–]ZiggyOnMars 2 points3 points ago

I don't want to "feel" it, i knew how it feel before i ask her. I only wanna know what's next. What can i do, we can speak a little but with different feeling now. Any suggestion?

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 3 points4 points ago

you must concern yourself only with that which you have control over. make a decision about your course of action and COMMIT to it. the rest is up to her.

and it is very important to respect her feelings and her decisions, however retarded and cruel and unfair they may be. you cannot change the way someone feels simply for your own convenience.

take things as they come and remain relaxed. be cool like Sinatra. act like you don't need her. that way, if all fails, you'll not have lost face and embarrassed yourself.

play it cool, take it slow, be relaxed, take things a step at a time, and only worry about the things that are only under your control. pass the ball to her. if she doesn't pass back... then fuck her.

and don't ever change yourself for anyone. ever. EVER.

remember your talents and your abilities and don't give them up for anyone.

talk to me.

[–]ZiggyOnMars 3 points4 points ago

Dude, i just saved your comment

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 3 points4 points ago

no worries man. let me know if you want to talk, i'm here. will PM you my number, you can *67 it and be anonymous. not a worry.

we're a community and people care.

if anyone tells you otherwise, they can fuck right off.

[–]liferemixedforever a scone 6 points7 points ago

Props to you, man. At least you tried.

[–]kfizz311 4 points5 points ago

Just try try again brother.

[–]Offensive_BruteI'm no superman -1 points0 points ago

but not with the same girl. You might want to try again with her, but give it plenty of time, and make sure in that time, you're honing your skills with other girls. Not so close that its obvious you're trying to get her attention, but close enough that shes aware of it.

[–]BlueBios 3 points4 points ago

Respect knuckles mother fucker

[–]berlinbrown 2 points3 points ago

What did you say?

[–]DDDyson 2 points3 points ago

The torment is over! Unresolved attraction to someone is a thorn in the flesh.

[–]Talvanen 2 points3 points ago

Nice work OP. I'm asking a girl out tomorrow. I think she may like me, but who knows. People are hard to read.

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 5 points6 points ago

good luck man. let us know how it goes.

[–]Talvanen 3 points4 points ago

Thanks :) I'm not too worried, I think she's attractive but not so overwhelmingly attractive that I'm going to be crushed if she shoots me down. Just wanna get the ball rolling again with someone. And of course, if we hit it off then that'd be great :)

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 2 points3 points ago

looks aught to have nothing to do with it -- of course, boys don't know any better. you definitely do want to make sure you hit it off with her.

dude, really -- make sure she's a nice girl and is as sweet to you as you are to her. if she won't even hold the door for you, she can go to hell. girls have such a sense of entitlement, it can be maddening.

really, sit and think about how much she would be able to nurture you.

don't blame yourself if things go wrong. be confident, brother. and come to us if you need advice. we care as a community.

if you need to talk on the phone, PM me. will give you my number, you can *67 that shit and be anonymous, that's fine.

holler.

[–]Talvanen 2 points3 points ago

Actually when I say she's attractive I'm talking about what little of her personality I've seen. Physically she is about average to maybe a little below average, but that's not really an obstacle as far as I'm concerned. I'm not physically perfect either.

How do you know I'm going to be sweet to her? Maybe I'm a real asshole :P

I really don't need to be nurtured. A pat on the back sometimes, sure, but I can hold my own. I don't rely on external validation.

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 2 points3 points ago

right on. i hear you.

i have no idea. it's all up to you. sounds like this needs more time. you aughtta spend more time w her. ask her for coffee! what harm?

"hey, was wondering if you'd like to go for coffee with me. that'd be great." -- best pickup line ever. something simple, innocuous and honest.

don't think too much. just talk to her. don't be too emotional, be a listener.

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 1 point2 points ago

above all things man, don't lose your cool. be easy with her decision. enjoy the moment of talking to her. don't blow your top at her for not going the way you hoped. be cool. really. keep it cool. she'll never forget it.

[–]Talvanen 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I got it lol. This isn't my first rodeo. I'll call her in the morning and see if she wants to grab dinner later this week.

[–]wallofechoesWith love from Califoreveralonia 2 points3 points ago

good shit. let us know how it goes. don't be FA forever.

[–]Talvanen 1 point2 points ago

She didn't pick up so I texted her. We're gonna grab dinner Sunday. My philosophy is "don't make snap judgments until you see if there's chemistry". Saves me from flipflopping on whether or not I'm into a particular person in the days leading up to a date.

[–]doomgiver98 0 points1 point ago

How'd it go?

[–]Talvanen 0 points1 point ago

She said yes :)

[–]doomgiver98 0 points1 point ago

Gratz.

[–]Talvanen 0 points1 point ago

...and then cancelled an hour ago.

[–]doomgiver98 1 point2 points ago

That sucks.

[–]Talvanen 0 points1 point ago

I think I might be cursed, actually.

First girl I asked out, car accident.

Second girl, her mom had an emergency and she had to go to the hospital.

Third girl, appendicitis.

This girl, possibly ovarian cysts, she has to go back to the hospital today.

...I may have a superpower.

[–]doomgiver98 1 point2 points ago

Those seem too extreme to be lies so good luck with your curse.

[–]Talvanen 0 points1 point ago

Lol gee thanks.

How has she not brought up a boyfriend before?

[–]Pinkie0314 0 points1 point ago

Story of my life. Considering the amount of actual girlfriends I've had, I would estimate my success at 6/800, or 3/400. Forever alone.

[–]OmaeWaMoShindeiru20 years going strong 0 points1 point ago

So you've had 6 girlfriends?

[–]Pinkie0314 -1 points0 points ago

Yup.

[–]Offensive_BruteI'm no superman 1 point2 points ago

This is really one of those cases where you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Being afraid and not asking her out, is more harmful than any other possible outcome.

[–]doomgiver98 0 points1 point ago

I disagree. It's better than asking her out and becoming depressed with low self-esteem because of it. At least there's an unknown that you can be hopeful about.

[–]Offensive_BruteI'm no superman 0 points1 point ago

false hope in a lost cause? You will grow a thicker skin with practice, rejection wont hurt so much. Furthermore, you can mentally and emotionally move on to a new hopeful unknown, that is your next potential romantic fixation. As much as I hate Pick-up. They are right on a few points, and on love and romance being a numbers game, they are dead on. the longer you are hung up on a girl the less ground you cover, and the longer it takes to find a nice girl you have chemistry with, and actually responds to you in a positive way. But I guess some people are more prone to harsher depression than others. Maybe for you its not worth the risk, but for me, I know i'm not gonna hang myself for shoot up a gym. I'm just gonna be mopey for a few days in my room listening to broody rock songs, and then I'll emerge and move on to the next.

[–]twoworldsin1 0 points1 point ago

I literally just did this and felt this way. The girl was cute and smart. I wanted to take her to Magic Mike because she posted on Facebook about it all the time and I wanted to be funny and zany. She said she already saw it, and I asked her if she wanted to see another movie. She said she's not dating now. Oh well, no harm, no foul. She's still cool, I'm still cool. Hooray for not giving a fuck. http://i.imgur.com/lWPdJ.png

[–]ScurvyDervish 0 points1 point ago

Rejection was had, but it didn't have you.

[–]SlickRoach 0 points1 point ago

Good job on putting yourself out there OP. It's nice to see some positive posts in this sub for a change!

[–]Serizawa_91 -2 points-1 points ago

You have to hear no before you hear yes. Asking someone out was a step in the right direction.

Been there, done that. Trust me, it's a good thing. You start to realize that 1) you're braver than you think and 2) rejection is not a big deal.
