Yeah, and girls in my high school were definitely of the "the guy is supposed to do the asking out" variety, so pretty much had to play the long game to beat it into our skulls how they felt. If they were lucky they could get a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell your friend to tell you which good luck after that game of telephone.

You need the friendships because most relationships do not work out and they wreck you. But a friendship can be forever, no problem, and you can adjust your level of friendship to the kind of person they are under different circumstances. It's not all-or-nothing like a romantic partner.

It's also good to have lots of friends because that's the only way you develop social skills and empathy that you need to date successfully also. Basically, "relating to people" skills. Also friends are good and fun.

I am 100% in favor of friends and friendship and I will friend the gently caress out of anyone with merit.

Most women expect men to ask them out because that's what we're told they'll do if they're interested. Showing interest in a guy who isn't interested in you, even for sex, i.e. being a Nice Girl, is socially apocalyptic when you're younger.

I wish some joker would suggest to Pick she should make her way to FYAD where her fresh new style of posting would be welcomed and she (or let's face it, he) would be summarily banned.

My sophomore year of high school I sat next to a girl who would constantly play with my hair - just in the middle of class, she'd reach over and start running her fingers through my hair. She'd occasionally give me tips like "you'd look really good if you did this..." Or she's just flat out start styling my hair. My friends took notice and spent a month trying to convince me she was into me, but I didn't buy it.

i'm legitimately concerned that this post might be about me :tinfoil:

Was this term his own or just general PUA/Nice guy lingo he picked up from elsewhere tho?

hey don't feel so bad, when I was a sophomore in HS I had a cute girl actually kiss me on the lips and I still didn't get the message that hey maybe she liked me

a month later she even was like 'hey so... remember that night the other week?' obv trying to get me to say 'oh yeah when you kissed me? let's go out!' or something but I just blushed a bit and said 'I dunno what you're talking about' which I assume was the last straw bc she got pretty visibly upset and never expressed any interest again

:(

I had things like this happen to varying degrees and didn't realize it until recently but the chiefest offense I ever committed of being a big dumb moron was when this girl in high school who was always very touchy feely with me invited me to her house while her parents weren't home so we could watch a movie.

I don't think she actually wanted to watch a movie but that's all we did because I was too scared and stupid to do anything. She didn't wanna hang out with me anymore after that.

Here's to the dumb idiots among us!

It always pays to have someone to chat with, chill with, drink with and so on. Life would be pretty dull otherwise.

something I always find weird right is how you go on return of kings, which is all about being a top dog hard bro alpha banger, and yet they're the biggest loving bunch of betas I've ever seen in my life. Every article is "BE AFRAID" and "THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU" and "IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND A WHORE?!" and "HOW TO STAY ON TOP!"

Yea. Also, high school boys gave girls massages all the drat time, at least where I went to, so they could get to touch girlflesh and they liked it too. You sure missed out during your teen years, buddy.

So did I :smith: But I made up for it later.
