manliness question

He already done something stupid, he started this thread. Asking for advice is unmanly.

Pride always comes before a fall.

It is better to take the leap yourself and simply ask for advice rather than wait for a situation to escalate into something bad or pass you by entirely.

This is an awesome thread, Hooah.

As a reward, here's the secret to female conquest of highly succesful, manly men:

Her mouth says no, but her lip gloss says yes


Who needs enthusiastic consent when cosmetics can tell you if she's in the mood?

By Kate Harding

So, here's the worst idea I've heard all week: Lip gloss that lets everyone around you know you're horny. "The saucy slap changes from clear to deep crimson as the wearer feels frisky," reports The Sun. "It works by reacting with a girl's body chemistry. And each £12 tube comes with a colour chart so men can work out how randy their partner is feeling."

dude we are like the worst people to ask. after i got back from my last date i came......... here. gosh i have no life.

[Hooahguy]

well i told her.
and all i know now is that she doesnt like me, at least in the way i do.

[Secura]

Oh, that really sucks. It took a lot of courage for you to come out and be honest with her, and it's commendable that you took that risk.

The whole "I just want to be friends" thing hurts deeply no matter what gender you are, and it doesn't get any easier the more you hear it, no matter what anyone says. I sincerely hope that your friendship is not harmed as a result of this, and hope that she can see past your admission and see that you want her in your life in whatever capacity possible, even if it is just as a friend.

Be strong, don't take it too personally and just remember that there is always someone out there for you; you have your whole life to find that special someone. Keep your chin up. :3

[Hooahguy]

exact reaction:

prelude- she also told me she wasnt going to go with me to the banquet, which upset me.

me: fine, if u guess ill tell you
her: akiva
me: no, actually, ill call u with the name- its more proper
her: no its k
me: well i think id better tell u one-on-one
her: y
me: b/c
her: is it u
me: ..
her: ?
me: ya- i originally wrote the "someone else likes you" because i wasnt thinking, then after i realized my mistake i tried to cover it up, sorry,hope u arent mad or anything
her: nope
me: thank god, we can still be friends, right? i value that the most
her: mhm
me: wow i cant believe i just told u. no one else knows that besides u,and i intend to keep it that way, i also wanted to ask you to awards banquet, but i knew that david would want to ask you but i did it anyhow
her: i wish ppl didnt go with dates
me: well i wanted to go with u as a friend, and put my like for you aside, its easy for me to do that, honestly, id rather us be friends
forget it. i seriously regret telling u. and now u know why i didnt want to tell u
her: why u regret it? ill just pretend like it didnt happen
me: please? anyhow, lets just forget this episode, shall we?
her: already on that
me: good!

im pretty sure i messed something up along the way.

Wait, so she decided not to attend the awards banquet with you before you admitted you liked her? That's odd... is there any reason why?

I don't really think you could have put that any better considering the circumstances (close friendship, nerves etc), but her responses seem... abrupt. I think she's genuinely surprised by your admission... that isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. Don't even remotely consider that you messed something up; anyone here, male or female, would have taken those steps too if it meant being happy, myself included. You should be pleased that you had the courage to go for it. Nobody even wins the lottery if they don't buy a ticket.

Anyways, do not force the issue, if anyone is going to mention the situation, let it be her. In the meantime, just ensure that you remain friends, that you keep doing the same stuff without any awkward sentiments and see what happens from there.

I sincerely hope that your friendship is not harmed as a result of this, and hope that she can see past your admission and see that you want her in your life in whatever capacity possible, even if it is just as a friend.

The trick is to expect/accept it in advance. It's a perfectly reasonable and honest response, I don't expect to be the greatest man for the woman of my choice, if a woman tells me she just wants to be friends I appreciate it, of course it won't make me happy but life goes on and I can still find others, somewhere, perhaps, if I'm lucky...
Think of a "relationship"(in the non-platonic sense) as the cherry on the cake that your friendship already is, it's perfectly possible to enjoy this cake without it.
Personally, I don't like cherries anyway but that's for another thread.

not quite sure. i definitly showed my dissapointment, then we began talking about liking people, then one thing led to another, and BAM.

If at all possible, do one of her friends now, if not sooner.

This could just be the leftover Murphy's Stout talking, but I still hold this to be sound advice. At best, it messes with her perceptions and gets her thinking about you. At worst, hey, at least you got some.

not as easy as it sounds. remember, i go to a jewish high school, where abstinence is held high like a freakin torch.

Told you on page one already you needed a cute shiksa for a nice springtime puppy love affair.

On the plus side, you're not likely to catch an STI. Where I live, 25% of teenage girls have Chlamydia

[Husar]

You know, there are women you can pay for it. Probably costs less than all the dinners, flowers and chocolate and gets you there faster.

You always pay for it. One way or another.

On the plus side, you're not likely* to catch an STI. Where I live, 100% of teenagers have access to prophylactics

*Unlikely, but still there's a chance.

STD STD STD STD STD ITS SPELLED STD

I second Drone's advice. Although you should've just gone with her and seen what happens admiting your infatuation generally becomes a mess IMO, although In high school I realize that it's par for the course

Keep your chin up boy-o

Re-reading this, now I'm confused. This thread was created to get into this girl's pants, right? So the whole thing was pretty much a lost cause anyway? Or are we on another girl at this point? I seem to have lost the plot here....

different girl. the girl i was at first describing was a bit more loose than the norm at my school.

[Centurion1]

forget her man. dude you will find a date. just walk up to some chick and act like you expect a yes. say it to her face and be abrupt you will get a yes probably. do it now before they are all taken though.

im going to have to make my move soon.....

Hooray for the discarding of social obligations!

That's why I said it's probably cheaper and you save time.

[Hooahguy]

well 3 days since and all is going well. we still talk as much as we used to, not awkward at all.

They're already taken. All of them. Every last one.

Or at least they might as well be, seeing as how little they want to do with me.

Its manly to go after a hot foreign exchange student from Brazil who arrived in the country the day before, right?

and theres no time to spare. It could be that someone went after her allready the day she arrived.

So you've been friend-zoned? I'm sorry.
