Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I generally avoid text tsunamis as vigorously as the real thing.
....
Can you avoid something vigorously? I don't think you can. Goddamnit.

Ask yourself how you would feel knowing that a girl likes you simply because you are available but until you came along she was content continuously liking someone else like a lost puppy girl.
I think the answer will guide your future actions.
I doublespaced it for your lazy eyes.
Girls like being used as way-stations though, don't they? Don't they?!
Seriously, dude, you're gonna want to fix this. Listen to the lord of the mornings.
It's not that I'd like someone just because they were available. I'd have to, you know, actually like them. Kind of important.
Also, it's not exactly uncommon for someone to get over their crush by crushing on someone else instead.
Not enough :^: in all the world.
Seriously, thirteen billion thumbs just isn't enough.
Goddamnit, you're fifteen, and if you start giving me advice, I'll start sharing our IM conversations with the whole forum.
Sigh. I cannot teach him. He is too old. Too old to begin the training.
I'm out. I tried.
Dude, that story's in every single intro psych book ever. Baby Albert is nothing compared to Harry Harlowe's "research".
It's horribly inhumane, but it's provided interesting insight.
No.
Look, I know it sucks, but the closer you are to her, the farther away you will be from where you want to be. Don't ignore her, but don't become her best friend either.
A quality album through and through. I don't really need anything else out of them.

–noun, plural -nies. 1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!†when I said I had to work all weekend.
I'm not posting it for people who have read a psych book.
But their new one is so awesome. I never make it past the first song, since I just put it on loop, but goddamn that's a good one.
You can socialize, but only in groups of more than 5 people. Be approachable, but don't get too close. It will drive you crazy with expectation.

I'm well aware of the irony. I've just been there before, and I don't want anyone to have to go through it if they don't have to.
I know it's totally unreasonable -- see, guys, my problem is not ignorance. I already know everything you're telling me.
It just doesn't matter. I'm going to end up doing the dumb, irrational thing, and then six months later I'll look back on it and wonder what the hell I was thinking.
Good advice, but it does not help me when I'm leaving my apartment particularly early and run into her throwing out the trash in her loose PJ's.
Then its a matter of self control, which is just another learnable skill.
edit: Also so you know you were an ass to Yal just then. His age has nothing to do with it.
I'm. So. Fucked.
Go talk to one. Who cares about motivation. Do it because an internet guy told you too.
Awwwwwwww, I didn't mean nothin' by it. Yal's a good guy, and he knows I'd never reveal our IM chatlogs.
Aw man, that sucks.
I had feelings for this girl in first year, and I was pretty sure the feelings were not mutual. I very nearly expressed these feelings, but when I got there her friend was over. I just went back to my room. Oh man, how I was saved.
I stopped hanging out with her when I got back from Christmas vacation. When I saw her again this year, I found her kind of irritating. She also informed me that I was the last person earth that she would have sleep with.
Yeah, but I can tell by the way they dress/etc that probably none of them have what I'm looking for in a girl except for huge jubblies.
See, this is not my problem. If I get rejected, I can move on. Actually, that's not really true, so never mind.
My aunt went and switched my swag bag with my cousin's.
I had my Warhammer Beta thing in there. D:
Do it because TWO internet guys told you two.
Ask if they want to go fly some kites.
The advice of XKCD can never be wrong!!!
@Fireguy -- Your despair nourishes me.
So? Give it a shot anyways! Worst case scenario, you were right. Best case scenario, you end up with <prematurely deleted so as to not enrage The Cat>.
You're making excuses. You'll never find out for sure unless you go talk to them.
I got rejected once.
I slept with her a week later.
They're in a goddam library. What do you want, Einsteins grand daughter.
Thhbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth.
In recent years, I've found that to be a very bad indicator of personality. Even interesting, smart, engaging girls can dress in stuff from Express or the Gap.
If that's what you're meaning to indicate, at least. I once met a girl that had the classic valley girl accent, but we talked about Carl Rogers and Albert Ellis for hours.
I had like these card codes for that freebie game and all these little bits of info I had collected and ARGH DAMN YOU AUNTIE.
