Whoa boy, this oughta be good... Guilty as charged, but it's an assumption I make out of necessity. You can't interpret any remark thrown at you without assuming honesty or dishonesty a priori. Or you could choose not to interpret it at all and just sit there with a dumb look on your face. Not my style, funnily enough. Next! I do not, I merely used appearance as an example (and not just appearance if you read carefully). I used the term "attractiveness" as a blanket term for all of the above. Think of it as a report card. Obviously you won't ace every single parameter; you may even fail a critical one. But when someone basically calls you attractive, you must have done something right. Of course, and I never once said that said phrase is always translatable to "Hey honey, let's hook up.". My point was that it shouldn't be interpreted as "instant friend zone *trollface*" which still stands. And as far as the "false flattery" is concerned, It's a phrase used for a variety of purposes but seldom spoken as an outright lie. Like I said, surprised means surprised and nothing else. No one is going to lie about being surprised that someone is single when they saw it coming from a mile away. Not even when that person is standing right in front of them. They'd rather not remark at all, as logic would have it. It's only ineffective if you expect it to do miracles. No single compliment is going to win someone over. Telling a girl that she has beautiful eyes isn't going to get you into her pants. Not unless you put it in a quick-and-dirty "Person A says / Person B says" form. I'm in my exam month at the moment, so I have to deep fry my brain more than enough without the "administration of justice" speak in a KHV debate. Pray tell.
Keep it. It's one of the few that's still somewhat original and (as far as I know) not named after some fad, anime character or sudden urge to be poetic.
Sounds like you still have a chance. The best advice I can give you then is to be as kind to him as you always have been. Show him how much you care by being there when he needs you. Sometimes, helping someone through an emotional low can spark emotions there never were before. I'm not saying that this will always lead to more, but you never know.
Don't blame someone else for choosing your words poorly. Then perhaps you should stop assuming and read what it actually says. It's actually really simple. Why are people surprised when someone isn't in a relationship? Because they are attractive, and attractive people are quickly taken. If I was hairy, smelled of corpses and was a prick to everyone to boot, no one would be surprised if I was still single. If you don't follow it up with "I would date you", then it implies exactly zilch. Not outright saying that you would or intending to can still have a variety of reasons, ranging from genuinely not being interested, to not having considered it seriously (yet) to thinking about it all the time but not being able to spit it out. Could give a personal example to drive my point home but since you're considered to be one of the more intelligent members here, I'm hoping I won't need it. Yes, we did. See above. === Also, being friendzoned or even outright rejected isn't an insult at all and you may have to cut back on soap operas if you still think that it is. If she lets you walk away with your dignity intact rather than yelling "Ew creep, piss off!", then she deserves some respect and gratitude for that.
I remember saying that to my girlfriend before she was my girlfriend. Being surprised that one doesn't have a partner doesn't convey any implication of interest whatsoever. It's basically a subtle (still blatantly obvious) way of saying "Hey, you're pretty attractive.". At least, that's how I use it. If you've been at the receiving end of that sentence, man the fuck up and say thank you.
My sigh of relief when I read that ranked pretty high on the Beaufort scale.
This one. I also like Scumbag Steve and Good Guy Greg. Professor Oak used to be a favourite, but it has virtually reached the limits of its potential. There are only so many Pokémon jokes one can make without resorting to silly Pokémon puns. You could wallpaper a small house with the list of my least favourite memes, but special mention goes to Lolcats, Forever Alone and Chuck Testa. Whoever thought it would be funny to turn Chuck Testa into a meme deserves taste buds in their anus.
I read your newest poem. Pretty sweet flow, I really liked that. I wouldn't have opted for such an abrupt ending, but whatever floats your boat. Keep on writing!
The thing with lyrics is that I can't quite seem to judge them without knowing the rhythm that's supposed to accompany them. Nevertheless, I liked what I read and I think you pour a lot of emotion in this without sounding "Pity me plz". Your listeners will appreciate that, as does this reader.
They should get their facts right too. They say he developed a phobia for bikes, but I recall him riding a bike in at least one early episode. It would make more sense if he had developed brontophobia, but since his signature Pokémon is an electric mouse...
Way to completely miss the point. This isn't about dragging someone so drunk they can't even stand to your car and having your way with them. This is about the simple question "Want to have sex?", the simple answer "Yes." and whether or not alcohol excuses giving an answer you'll later regret. The responsibility argument is completely valid in such a case. You downed an alcoholic beverage of your own accord, most likely knowing what it can do to you (I don't think I know anyone who doesn't). If you still choose to drink, every action you take or word you say is on you.
I still like it. I got Pokémon White last summer after an urge to play another Pokémon game. They do seem to get less challenging though, but maybe that's not a fault of the game itself, more so my experience with the series.
I saw them last year' and I'll never forget that gig. I've often cited Sum41 as my favourite band back in middle school. I even had a sig of them that I used on another forum. I'm not crazy about them but I still like their work. Favourite songs would be Fat Lip, There's No Solution and Angels With Dirty Faces (extremely underrated song).
I'd always be the protagonist of my own story, and anyone who opposes me would be my antagonist, regardless of how heroic his actions and motives would seem to others. I'd be a side character to a whole bunch of other stories.
I doubt we have much conversational history, seeing as I'm rather oblivious to Jiku's cynical nature. Happy holidays, by the way!
