I posted in here now. In case that's what you were waiting for.
Nothing out of the ordinary. We're all nice and cheerful and filled from head to toe with sunshine.
He'll catch up when he gets back, especially if there's only one duel to catch up on. There shouldn't be anything holding you back if you both want to go at it.
Yeah, I know what you mean. And I apologize for the sneer when I questioned what you have or haven't been through. Shouldn't have said that.
I'd like it better if it came with a gun that lets you shoot Donald Heartless à la Duck Hunt.
- Standard dual impression question. - Would you let your kids watch violent cartoons? - Have you ever seen a dead person in real life? - What's your favourite country?
For the record, she asked us what she should say when he does ask her out. In a high school environment that's about the same as saying "I have a crush on you". In which case you should tell him where you stand. I never said being friendly is getting a guy's hopes up. I said giving him a chance is getting a guy's hopes up. You can be friendly without keeping the possibility of a real relationship open. And there's no reason to keep that possibility open since there are no feelings from Kannira's side. I'll try to explain this in the simplest manner possible. First I'll explain what could happen if you're honest about not being interested at the time. 1. You don't fall in love with him and he doesn't fall in love with you. Styx' verdict: Good chance of becoming friends, but nothing more. 2. You don't fall in love with him but he falls in love with you. Styx' verdict: Short pain. You didn't get his hopes up, he'll need some time to move on but not that much since you snuffed the flame early on. Also, this is in my eyes the most likely scenario. 3. You fall in love with him while he doesn't or has moved on. Styx' verdict: Painful situation but fortunately not that common. 4. You fall in love with him anyway but he's still interested. Styx' verdict: Jackpot. This is what you'd get if you "leave the door ajar" and give an ambiguous answer to the guy in question. 1. You don't fall in love with him and he doesn't fall in love with you. Styx' verdict: Depending on the ambiguity of your answer, he may find it weird and awkward that you gave such an answer. Not that good. 2. You don't fall in love with him but he falls in love with you. Styx' verdict: You kept him hangin' and after a while he gets to read a very sour memo. Oops, broken heart. 3. You fall in love with him but he doesn't fall in love with you. Styx' verdict: Unlikely scenario but a bad one anyway. In the end you may be the one left with a broken heart. The chances to become friends have become slim to boot. Oopsie-daisy. 4. You fall in love with him and he falls in love with you. Styx' verdict: Jackpot. I hope I finally made my point now. This of course is only applicable if there are any hopes to be gotten up. You shouldn't reject him when the situation hasn't arisen yet, but I hope people here have enough common sense to have deduced that already. In case any of you did misunderstand: I said nothing about being unfriendly to him while he hasn't made his move yet. Hopefully nobody was stupid enough to have drawn such a conclusion. Exactly. So you do know that being friendly means getting a guy's hopes up (in many situations anyway). Well then why did you say you didn't? Well then next time show it by demonstrating some more wisdom of experience.
Well said but don't you think that there should be some love first before fighting through hardship to keep it? Your statement makes sense for couples who are going through hard times, but I dare say it's not applicable when the romance and love are one-sided to begin with. Love can "grow" into someone but it seldom does after a certain time. While I'm open to the possibility that it exists I've never seen or heard of such a case in my own environment. It's best not to take those chances. Actually, that's the same thing I said a few posts above yours. You might wanted to have read that. But the thing is; he is hoping for something serious, for some form of romance, more so than she is at least. In that case telling it like it is still a form of rejection, whether you call it by its name or call it "setting the parameters". Besides, she didn't say she isn't ready, she said she's not interested. You might as well be honest when it comes down to the same thing. We agree on sending out a signal towards him early on rather than acting oblivious while getting to know him better, for obvious reasons. Our approaches don't differ all that much.
Yeah, I see it. I usually read cards I don't know in real duels but it was obvious you were gonna win anyway.
Right. Got it.
I think that prevents you from getting your second attack. You should have flipped your other monster face-up and attack with it if you really want to win on your second turn, just to make sure.
My condolences.
Uhm...Go to a field or something?
I draw a card and all that... Alright, I play one monster card face-down. End turn.
I don't think those three-year-olds would mind.
In that case I'll be your guinea pig. Don't expect to try go all-out against something unbeatable though. How many turns do you need to prove your point?
Guys, it's already over. Save the tips for the next time she has to pee.
Wrong order of action there. I'll tell you what: why doesn't she first invent a vaccin for heartache and then carry out that plan of yours that is little more than gambling with love while getting his hopes up. "Something might light up"? I'm afraid this isn't a poker tournament. Secondly, becoming friends with someone you know is interested in a relationship sounds easier than it actually is. You have to carefully weigh your words, not to mention your compliments, in order not to give a wrong impression. From what I read you've never been in a similar situation, or you'd know how weird it feels. No, these situations need to be dealt with while they're fresh. Only then will you minimize disappointment in either of the two. Tell him where you stand at the first chance you get. Then try to become friends. Then see what happens, but don't expect too much. I wouldn't object to that were it not that chivalrous class clowns are generally the ones whose hearts are most easily stomped on. Like I said; he deserves better than that. Plus, "living a little" in this case includes hooking up with some bloke you don't really like in a romantic way. It's more likely to feel awkward than good.
Hi, I have a question about the rules. If a monster card says "You can Tribute 1 monster to activate this or that effect", can it tribute itself?
Ah, I see. I thought I was meant to know both. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'll duel Bushido first. If I enjoyed it I may play you next...
