    J...

    Oh J.

    I worry about you.

    Whenever I go on one of my ranty tangents about the topic of her and i not presently dating but maybe in the future dating and my attempts to discern if that will ever happen she usually ends up almost falling off the couch laughing and smiling at me.

    I think I entertain her. I just do not know if that is a good thing of the "I adore this boy" variety or "god, this loon is amusing to watch while i wait to find someone decent".

    Except we keep having fun together and finding more manners in which we are compatible.

    It is just a fucking mindfuck at this point. How difficult is it to tell a guy "We can / will date" or "We can / will not date". That seems like a very simple thing to discern for a human being.

    I'm a little annoyed by half-rejections too, but calling it evil seems a bit strong.

    Huh. Apparently, they're testing surgically implanted push-up bras so that women's breasts are perky even when the clothes come off. Technology, is there anything you can't do?

    So, what do Guardian Angels do? Tell you to stop loudly? How does this work? Aren't they just as likely to get fucked up? Blargh, stupid people.

    We don't get anything like guardian angels here. We just get volunteer police.

    Some bright spark decided it was a good idea for them to be classed as "special constables".

    _J_, it is simple.

    If you ask her out, and she says no, she is not willing or able to date you.

    If she is not willing or able to date you now, the chances of her being willing or able to date you in the future are incredibly slim.

    Really, the problem is that you are entertaining the notion that any answer other than "yes" is not "no." If it's not "yes," it's "no." Maybe she'll change her mind later, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    On the one hand, _J_, they're right, just because the girl can't make up her mind doesn't mean she's out to get you.

    On the other hand, you guys should lighten up on him. It can be really painful in any relationship when you know exactly what you want but the other side has no idea what they want yet.

    I really think having no patience is the answer. But that doesn't mean struggling to figure it out. It means moving the fuck on, because really, who has time for this shit?

    They basically figure out what is barely legal under "citizen's arrest" rules and then do that. In localities where basically nothing is legal under "citizen's arrest" rules, the Guardian Angels consist of old ladies in red hats and airhorns.

    In places that stupidly allow minor assault under "citizens arrest" rules apparently the Guardian Angels are the equivalent of packs of (more) stupidly-dressed Straightedge skinheads.

    They were kind of a thing in, I think New York and Philly in the 70s. They tried to come to Boston a year or two ago because of I think a shooting at an afterparty? Anyways Menino sent them packing back to Philly or whatever rock they crawled out from under.

    Maybe, but this seems like a sensible way for a thinking thing to act in this situation. How am I supposed to know what will happen if this lady's intentions are not known to me? How am I supposed to plan my day?

    As far as I can tell to manifest a situation in which dating occurs the interested party has to make itself available to the party whose adoration is sought. So, I have to be available to her. I have to be within her geographic area, i have to have a free schedule, I have to maintain a situation such that when she wants to hang out I am available to her. If a situation arises in which I am not available then she will spend time with someone else and then, presumably, increase her adoration towards the party who WAS available as opposed to crummy stupid old J who had to write his paper.

    So, since I WANT to hang out with her and need to be available I structure my life to be such that I AM available.

    Yeah, _J_, if I were you, I'd just stop investing so much effort into her. Ultimately if she does go "I found some hot guy, I'm going to go date him now", there's nothing you can do about it and it really doesn't make her that bad of a person for going for what she wants. I'd say keep on looking.
