Whatever happened to just asking people to go on a date?
if only it were that easy.
It’s only as difficult as people make it.
That only goes for the asking part. Getting a date is where some people have all the luck, and others get stuck waiting for a while.
I recently found a 1959 Grundig Majestic Stereo Console on someone’s curb, they were giving it away for no cost. A few hours ago I worked on it some more and I got the thing working, and surprisingly it sounds GREAT! It plays vinyl records and it has a working radio. My guess is that it’s worth at least $800, and I have it for free. I am so happy 😄
This is awesome. Keep it and treasure it. They don’t make them like this anymore and it looks great in your place.
😃
We have a stalker on our hands! 😮

Whatever happened to just asking people to go on a date? Why can’t people just go on dates without it having to be serious? Aren’t dates meant to test whether or not you want a relationship? All this backtracking and ambiguity and such is so confusing and pointless. The friend zone is not real, the methods were too ambiguous and there was never a chance to begin with.
That’s a fair point, but I also don’t really have time to date unless I either quit my job or stop doing homework, so I figure the slow approach is better than nothing.
I’m aiming to strike a balance between being too obvious and being just another nice guy. I’m not quite ready to date her, and also don’t want to get permanently friendzoned like the last guy who told her how he felt about her. 😛
^Yeah, I’m really not sure which is the better route in my situation. 😛 What I do know, though, is that I’m far from mastering the art of conversation (seriously, though, I suck at keeping a converstion going unless we start talking about something really controversial, LOL), so I’d probably have a better chance of not making things super awkward if I get more comfortable around her first.
I’d be happy with a nice, constant 10-25 degrees (Celsius). I’m not sure where I’d find that though–usually the places that stay consistent are either consistently freezing or consistently hot…
It’s not even mid February and it’s already been up in the mid-80s here.
I gotta get back out of the desert.
Meanwhile where I live, we’re enjoying a brief respite of about 40 from about -15 (Fahrenheit…in the system that the whole rest of the world uses, that’s 5 and about -25 to -30 respectively).
I’ve been getting better at it, but it’s hard to talk to her or text her without being a little too obvious (which I don’t think I’m ready for, especially given that she almost definitely doesn’t like me back). I don’t know any of the people she hangs out with, and she only occasionally hangs out with my friend group, so it’s a challenge to really find/make an opportunity for conversation. I’ve been trying to gradually develop a friendship with her, but I’ve been making awfully slow progress. 😛
Good for you!
Now if only I had the same luck with my crush…(it’s partly my fault, but it’s also hard just to get a seat beside her in class, never mind actually hanging out with her).
This is what your post looked like for me for about 30 seconds:
Gotta a hairstyle you love? Gotta a hairstyle you loathe? Post pics of them here.
I absolutely adore this hairstyle. Women had lots of ungainly hairstyles in the '80s; this wasn’t one of them.
I wanna use this hairstyle as toilet paper.
I was really questioning your taste for a moment. (Not to mention that it seemed really strange that liking a hairdo made you want to use it as toilet paper… 😛)
I was wondering how you were going to convincingly connect the message with the Carpenter’s song before the scene where it gets shut off, but you pulled it off masterfully. Looking forward to seeing this thing in all its pristine and finished beauty.
Yeesh, that’s a sure recipe for later loneliness when she gets bored of you after a week… (Honestly though, if you’re the kind of person who’s going to go up to a guy, and simply announce that you’re marrying him the next day, you’re probably not into fulfilling relationships, to say the least.)
I really don’t want to know how you know that…
Real men don’t ask, Frink–you have to be more assertive than that. Girls like confidence in a guy.
Cool, I didn’t realize you ever did any editing.
Maybe you’ll hate it slightly less than the past several years. 😛
I just realized that we’re probably going to see two of the most anticipated fan-edits on this site (ESB:R and ROTR) finally completed this year.
It’s gonna be a good year.
Yeah, they all seem to work as is, although the purpose/funniness of the dream isn’t clear to me–probably because I’m seeing it in isolation.
Good on you for approaching it in a respectful way rather than mocking your parents’ faith like some people do. It can be very hard for parents when their kids leave the religion they grew up with, so respectfully asking questions for now will make things easier for everyone.
Does corn still refer to other grains, or is that old-fashioned usage nowadays?
Yikes, that’s rough. Obviously that teacher is not truly living out her faith… What sort of question led her to ask you to think like a child molestor?
I’ve kinda went to a middle ground. I’m still probably drinking more than I should (more than the occasional few beers of before) but also quite a large amount less than before I went to rehab, which was about a 5th a day of mostly vodka (meaning I drank everything but of you added it up the total volume would be about a 5th) whereas now I’ve been on the same 5th for two days and it’s about half gone. Tolerance isn’t meat what it used to be, which is a good thing. I think once I finish the 5th I’ll just go back to drinking a few beers at night and smoking pot. It won’t kill me, but at least it’ll be something.
As much as I think you’re really walking the line here, I’m glad to hear that! Stay with us Possessed, none of us want to lose you.
I wasted my teens; I wasted my twenties; I’ll probably end up wasting my thirties, too, along with my forties/fifties/sixties/etc. if I ever get that far.
I don’t want to kill myself. I just wish I had never been born.
You could choose to stop wasting them if you really wanted to. I’m not saying it’s easy, but it’s as easier now than it’ll ever be.
JEDIT: Evidently I’m not the best at giving emotional support…
If what North Americans call corn is usually called maize in the UK, would/do they call corn mazes “maize mazes”?
I’m ignoring Canadia.
Careful. We Canuckistani jihadists will be coming for you if you’re not vigilant.
Who?
You. Geez, you’re dense Frink.
