[–]Redlift 427 points428 points ago

Wait, this actually happens?

You sure you were on a date

[–]dane83 121 points122 points ago

I once had a series of dates with a girl. She was actually a little scary and sometimes I felt like she was going to do something that would end up with me being murdered. But, she was amazingly hot, and being young and having not had a date in a year because I was working all the time, I went with it.

So, about three dates into this thing, we're back at her place, ramping up to knowing each other, biblically, when her phones rings.

She talks for a few minutes before hanging up: "You have to go. My boyfriend is coming over."

I then proceeded to get texts the next few days asking why I wasn't answering calls or texts.

Some people are crazy, man.

[–]Ricktron3030 78 points79 points ago

At least she didn't say "you've got to stay here, my boyfriend is coming over"

That would have been freaky.

      Seriously, fuck Skyler. I hate that bitch.

      [–]gg4465a 67 points68 points ago

      SPOILERS ABOUND

      Skyler is the most reasonable character on the whole show. Her husband went behind her back and became a meth cook, and by the time she found out about it, it was too late to stop him because if she did, it would tear their family to pieces. Walt Jr. would be devastated, there would be no college money for Holly, and their family's name would be sullied for good. She did the only sane thing in that situation, which was to try and make sure that Walt doesn't get caught so none of that awful stuff happens. Then she finds out that Walt isn't just cooking meth, he's murdering people left and right and basically losing his grip on sanity more and more every day, so she does the only thing she can do in that situation: tries to get the kids as far away from him as possible. Everything Skyler does is perfectly rational, and it's a testament to the creators of the show that we still like the protagonist, Walter, who is possibly the worst human being in that world and has wrought pain and suffering on everyone he has come into contact with, more than we like her.

      [–]mongojazZ 18 points19 points ago

      I'd rather say that most characters on Breaking Bad are reasonable, given their situation and their character development - it's noteworthy that that doesn't mean we have to like any of them. But we do. That's what makes the series so brilliant.

      [–]Semi_Chivalrous 5 points6 points ago

      Every one of the main cast of characters are insanely relateable. It's almost crazy how well they're written. It makes it so that you could be any one of them, if put in their situation.

      [–]gg4465a 5 points6 points ago

      That's exactly what I'm saying. Apparently I get downvoted because people don't understand that that's one of the main points the show is making.

      [–]slrider7 4 points5 points ago

      I refuse to look at your comment because I'm on season 1(typing this is quite weird), but I want to thank you for putting the SPOILER at the top.

      Man, that was very good gg4465a! Oh reddit all huffy and mad, giving you downvotes for thinking and paying attention and appreciating good acting and writing.

      Do you do reviews anywhere?

      [–]gg4465a 0 points1 point ago

      Thanks, I appreciate that -- it's hard to blame people, Breaking Bad is such a great show, and it's awesome to see how many people feel really invested in the characters and come to their defense. I occasionally review music for fun, but I haven't done any TV reviews before.

      How is cheating on Walt reasonable?

      FTFY

      [–]gg4465a 8 points9 points ago

      Actually, I agree with you -- her whole involvement with Beneke was her biggest mistake. And now, in the new season [SPOILERS AGAIN] we see that the Beneke affair is the reason that she can't stand as a perfect moral counterpoint to Walter. She made bad decisions too (although, arguably as a result of what Walter did to her), and now those mistakes are what's keeping her from protecting her children from their father.

        Misogynistic cowards and kids who still wear shirts with flames on them hate Skyler. I fully agree with you.

        [–]gg4465a 11 points12 points ago

        I just think if you hate Skyler, you haven't really understood the purpose of her character as a counter-balance to Walter, who is pretty much pure evil.

        [–]DrKisses 7 points8 points ago

        I am pretty sure you can think Skyler is a bitch without being a misogynist.

                If I were a really attractive guy, my job would be to get paid to ask these types of women on a date, be the perfect guy. Then on the date mention I have a girlfriend, and that I'm just looking to make new friends.

                [–]TipyTheFertile 4 points5 points ago

                Huge crush just came over in an incredible red dress the other day. Just going to play super smash so I'm confused. "how do you like my dress?! I got asked on a date!" Kicks my ass at smash and gets picked up to go to a steakhouse with some jabroni. Later I ask her what's up. "I'm not looking for romance from anyone" I just wanted to look incredible while my "friend" takes me to a god damn Argentinian steakhouse. "I thought you were just being friendly!" because I always sheepishly hand girls my phone number and flirt my dick off for two weeks. Just tell me I'm not your type next time fel vixen!

                I know this is beating a dead horse here on reddit, but a lot of males hand out their numbers and flirt with everyone, grocery store clerks, grandmas, everyone. It's their thing. If the girl is attractive and/or easy to talk to you can increase the number that happens to her five fold. She probably did just think you were friendly because 1) that's how most males are friendly to her and 2) you didn't say "Will you go out with me on a date?"

                [–]TipyTheFertile 8 points9 points ago

                Nah, I recognize that and definitely see where you're coming from. I just feel bummed out, and you gotta realize what that does to a guy's confidence and feelings of self worth. You aren't beating a dead horse, we all actually know you're right, but fuck - after so much repeated failure I want to vent in a semi-anonymous format. So go ahead and slap downvotes on me, I'm already feeling like crap for the next couple of days anyway. No guy really thinks "oh damn! She totally wanted me until I did that one thing and got friendzoned!" they think "fuck, again?! How am I this oblivious to how it's gonna be?"

                [–]msinformed1 1 point2 points ago

                The downvotes didn't contain one of mine :) ! I see where you are coming from, too. People that are easy to approach, talk to, and come over for a rousing game of Super Smash are used to everyone treating them like that, they seriously don't know they are hurting anyone (usually). I was either one of those people before I settled down or I'm a lot less nice than 99% of the people here, I have only been in one What Does He Want?! situation, and I cleared that up pretty quickly. We'd have stayed friends if he hadn't been defensive about not leading me on.

                    [–]Chinamerican 1 point2 points ago

                    My rule is: 1/3 of the complete relationship time or 3 months, whatever is shorter e.g. you break up w/ a person that you've dated for 6 months so you need to go on a 2 month hiatus.

                    You mourn the "loss" and then you move on. I've always felt like a break up, especially of a LTR, is very much like a death b/c a person that was part of your everyday life is abruptly taken away and it just feels wrong to swap another person in w/o dealing w/ those feelings. It's not fair to either person.

                    [–]Griff_Steeltower 28 points29 points ago

                    I had a mutual friend set me up on a blind double-date with her friend, her, and her boyfriend, and during said date (where I thought things were going great) the "date" that I "had to meet" casually mentioned what her boyfriend did professionally. After punishing my friend with a glare, we finished out a lovely evening and the girl I was being "set up with" shared a bowl of her finest dankery, it wasn't even a disappointing night. So the premise has happened before, albeit most people aren't big enough dicks or, let's face it on Reddit, bold enough, to do something like the Michael Cera character.

                    [–]ronin1066 7 points8 points ago

                    That just means the date with you sucked.

                    [–]PatAunces 6 points7 points ago

                    Happened to me a couple months ago. I met a girl in uni, talked with her a little bit, and then asked her for her number, and we made plans to hang out.

                    So we're hanging out, flirting a lot, lots of playful touching, I ask her lots of personal questions, I buy her a smoothie, all clearly date things. Then a couple days later I ask if she wants to come watch a movie at my place, at night (And I even said, "Hey we should go out again"). So I pick her up, and we're headed back to my place, and she casually mentions she has a boyfriend right as we get there. So then I sat through the most awkward movie of my life sitting on the opposite end of the couch, trying to figure out how the hell she could be so oblivious as to what was going on. We talked about it on the car ride home.

                    So yes, it does happen. Some girls are just oblivious. When I asked my current girlfriend out, I made damn sure to say the word "date" at least twice.

                    Speaking as someone "in the lifestyle," I really wish more people understood how often this was the case. Or at least considered that it was a possibility.

                    Oh how I envy you. The love of my life isn't into it.

                    [–]selflessGene 28 points29 points ago

                    There are a few possibilities here:

                    1) She's nostalgic about the dating process. For a lot of couples, dating stops once they are in a relationship. Maybe she misses the act of 'dating' and just conveniently forgets to mention the boyfriend thing so she can enjoy a social event with a guy.

                    2) I've also found that there are some serial monagamists, i.e., they jump from one relationship right into another. It's possible the guy in this scenario is being interviewed for a replacement.

                    [–]sje46 21 points22 points ago

                    1. Manipulative as hell. I'd hang out with a girl if she just wanted to hang out as friends. She doesn't have to imply sexual or romantic interest for me to want to hang out with her.

                    [–]selflessGene 13 points14 points ago

                    For most attractive young women, it can be difficult to find genuine male friends. When guys meet an attractive woman, the subtext of sex is always there, which is usually incompatible with true friendship.

                    If I think back on how I met or developed my close friendships with other guys, it usually involved us saying 'hey, you're a cool guy, let's go grab a couple beers at a bar'. If an attractive woman said this to most guys, the context is not two cool people just hanging out. The context is that a hot girl is into you and wants to go out on a date.

                    A hot girl has to go out of her way to make a male friend. She has to do things like tell the guy about someone she's seeing so it's clear she has romantic interests elsewhere lest there be confusion.

                    [–]sje46 7 points8 points ago

                    To be fair, as a male, I feel like I should do the same thing if I want to hang out with a girl but don't want to have sex with her (which I would since I want to have sex with every girl but that's besides the point).

                    [–]Dystopeuh 5 points6 points ago

                    I guess I'm not very hot.

                    Because most of my friends are guys, and that's pretty much how our friendships all started.

                    A hot girl has to go out of her way to make a male friend. She has to do things like tell the guy about someone she's seeing so it's clear she has romantic interests elsewhere lest there be confusion.

                    Really? You don't think a guy has to do that when he's interested in a friendship with a female?

                    yea

                    maybe YOU thought you were on a date

                    she was just getting free food

                    but honestly though, I've been there. It sucks. It's like yo if you have a boyfriend why are you here with me and not with him go away you are dead to me until that relationship status changes thats the rule okay

                    Yes, it does. I got asked explicitly on a date once (she used the word "date") and then after I agreed she asked if her boyfriend could also come.

                    I was like, "no."

                              Yeah, it is the only solo Micheal Cera film I really like. I guess because we get a Micheal Cera that isn't the stereotypical hipster/geek Michael Cera. I haven't encountered many people that like it though.

                              To be fair, he is still a massive hipster, especially as Francois. I just think it's a really good movie haha, but yeah, I haven't encountered many people that have even heard of it to be honest.

                              The Francois character is portrayed as an out of control dick though, so that's nice.

                              I liked SPvtW, but not due to Cera. He was the weakest link in that movie to me. He just wasn't the Scott Pilgrim I wanted him to be.

                                The best part of the movie is that Francois holds his cigarette differently every single time.

                                People should really read the book instead of watching the film. It was an alright movie, but it didn't do justice to the book, which was written by an amazing, Harvard-educated author. Of course, it depends on how much time you want to invest in the story.

                                You know, when I ask women out, I usually say, "Hey, I want to take you out on a date." Then, you discuss your favorite foods, movies, parks, or what have you.

                                There's absolutely no reason to be on a "date" and find out it's not a date. If the word "date" is not mentioned, then it's no guarantee that it's a date, and you shouldn't be surprised.

                                I think Reddit tends to prefer sidling stealthily into relationships. Ease into things so slowly and carefully that it takes women 10 years of marriage, a mortgage and 2 kids to realise what's happened.

You know that story about boiling frogs where it goes "If you throw a frog into hot water, it jumps out reflexively because of the pain, but if you put it in cool water then gradually warm it, it stays until its too late?" I'm like that but with relationships.

                                  Yep. I'm so sick of this stupid "hangout" culture we live in. Whenever a guy asks me to "hang out" I never know whether he's going to try to get in my pants or legit wants to be my friend and hang... it can be very confusing and makes the whole "hangout" more awkward regardless of which way it's going to go (romantically or friendly) because I DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. The only time I generally find out it's a date is when someone offers to pay for me or tries to kiss me/hold my hand etc... and that's halfway through!!

                                  Part of the reason this happens is because women have had it drilled into their head that men only want to get into their pants, so a huge portion of men are terrified of being forward for fear of being seen as a "predator" and end up coming off as a wet noodle.

                                  It's easier to be labeled a creep if you're not attractive

                                  Creepiness is relative to your attractiveness and you can still be labeled a creep if you're attractive... you just have a lot more room for pushing boundaries forgiveness.

                                  If it's vague I'll clarify, but I've had some very nasty responses to that before. I had a guy I only barely knew ask me to hang out sometime, so I asked him if he meant just as friends or whether he wanted it to be a date. He then flipped on me accusing me of being full of myself for thinking every guy is just trying to get in my pants :\

                                  It's happened a handful of times, I don't get it. Most of the time there's no problem, but those negative reactions can make it really nerve-wracking.

                                  The people who react that way are ridiculous, in both genders. I was just trying to explain why it can be a touch hard to clarify when you've had people accuse you of being full of yourself and start calling you names for it. I'm not saying it's worse than other situations, it just is what it is. I still always clarify, despite that.

                                  Guys are pissed because of the new double standard. Women want all the emotional benefits of a relationship without sex or attachment? Friendzone some beta males, they will buy you things and listen to your sob stories and if they ever try to make a move on you call them sex addicted pigs!

                                  Let's face it most Friendzone situations are not about plutonic friendships. They are about one party either knowingly or unknowingly taking emotional advantage of another person who wants to date them

                                  I really don't understand that friendzoning thing. I mean let's suppose that she's sobbing to you about her past relationship with a bad boy or chris brown or whatever, at that point, do you really have to be "alpha" to spout something like "anyways who gives a shit about that faggot ass retard". Not to mention that it's going be hilarious.

                                  PROTIP: You were not on a date.

                                  Was the word "date" ever used when setting up said date?

                                  [–]roguewave 2 points3 points ago

                                  The worst is someone bringing that word up last second after youve made plans - "it's a date!"

                                  Maybe it wasn't a date, chump.

                                  Maybe she called an audible.

                                  Met a girl, I had a gf then, so I didn't want to cheat on her. Few months later, we start texting (I was single by then) and it hits of. We go on a date, have a great time, lots of touching (subtle ones), eat ice cream etc. I arrange for another date on Saturday. On Friday she becomes in a relationship and I become a spare wheel. I tell her to sod off and I go on my way. I saw her some time ago, she gained a lot of weight. Or as my friend said it: "Looks like she would've got a better time eating your bacon than regular one."

                                  That's why you are supposed to ignore it. Women with husbands/gfs are the best no strings attadched lays.

                                  Although I disagree with your statement about no good girls being single, I agree with this. A LOT of people jump from relationship to relationship; but my question for you is this: is it a good outlook for you if your new gf left her old bf for you? Are you going to be prepared for her to leave you for the next guy she comes along with little to no warning? Maybe it won't happen to you too, but maybe it will, maybe it's a pattern. Thus, why guys are put off by this.

                                    Having a boyfriend doesn't necessarily mean she isn't looking for another relationship, or that they are exclusive, especially if a "date" was arranged.

                                    So little love for open relationships :(

                                    [–]TheLobotomizer 22 points23 points ago

                                    Just because she's open to that kind of "relationship", doesn't mean her date is.

                                    [–]jackastro 2 points3 points ago

                                    If I were on a date with a girl and said that she had a bf, then, given the kind of girls that I date, my first thought would be that she is in an open relationship.

                                    However, this is not the case for most people. Typically, the reaction above is justified.

                                    I agree with you. I've had many great relationships this way and made good friends. People have their reasons for wanting to see other people.

                                      I feel bro.

                                      On a Friday night went to a girl's place and had dinner, wine, and watched a movie and had several drinks.

                                      Sunday she was in a relationship. Fast forward a year she marries him. 2 months in - she wants out.

                                      That movie was so jarring to watch. Micheal Cera playing someone who isn't an awkward teenager? Blew my mind.

                                      Fro anyone curious, this is from the film Youth in Revolt, starring Michael Cera.

                                      What? Michael Cera isn't old enough to be smoking.

                                      My ex did this a few times when she was living abroad, she would think the guys would take her out for dinner 'as friends'. Obviously the opposite.

                                      I had this happen the opposite way. I knew she had a boyfriend after our first date(out of like 2) that she had a boyfriend after mentioning her name to a mutual friend. She never mutter the words "my boyfriend" ever.

                                      She was the love of my life :(
