how can one day be so screwed up

LegacyUser

Well I have had my eye on a friend for best part of a year but never said any thing.
After taking some advice from a 3rd party I decided I would give it a go and see how she really feels. Since I did get the feeling she was interested. Well I got shot down and basically told never more than friends. (if that’s possible now)

right so im just sitting at work searching for flights as I fiq I may as well go travel for a few months since there is no reason for me to hang around. I mean if we have to be just friends we can be just friends who email every now and then.

But just after lunch the phone rang and I got offered a new job. So I have no idea what to do.

better paid job would be cool
traveling would be fun
and what I want I cant get

This has to be one of the worst days of my Adult life.

Go travel. But not just to escape some girl, the experience is amazing and a once in a lifetime opportunity. if you do some volunteer work abroad it'll look great on a CV and might even open some doors for you to work in a new field that interests you. Who knows, maybe you'll get a job you love abroad. There'll always be good job offers. But it's still dull drudgery. Live a little!

PS. Girls like that are not worth your time. Subtle as a sledgehammer. Pr*cktease

Sorry but if that's one of the worst days of your adult life then you must have lived a charmed existence so far.

You got turned down by a girl but you got offered a new job. People get turned down by perspective partners all the time.

So now your choice is, get paid more money or have a great time travelling.

Woe is you indeed!

One of the worst days of your adult life?
What in the hell is wrong with you?

You decided, first off, ah **** it, I might as well travel for A FEW MONTHS because a girl I like doesnt like me. And then someone called offering you a new job and more money? Your day reads like a really crap season ender to a dawson's creek that never happened. But its not a crap day. I would have loved a day like that today. But you dont see me making a PI thread.

Seems like you answered your own question?

Yeah, I am sure you're upset about being turned away, but worst day in your adult life? Hardly.

Cheer up, you put yourself out there, and now have the choice between a new job and more money or a couple of months worth of holidaying.

Sorry it didn't work out for you man. I think a lot of people face that situation at one stage. You can learn loads from these sorts of events.

Look at it like this, at least you know now for sure with her. One short sharp shock is way better than months of driving yourself mad thinking "will i say it to her or not". You can now move on with a clean head. You wont have regrets in the future over potentially saying nothing.

With the option of a new job or of travelling your in a perfect position to meet new people. Only you can choose what one is better for you, but either way you can move on knowing where things stand.

Suggest that this is one of the first days of your adult life.

Wow, the trauma must be immense man. Hmmm what to do, go travelling the world or take a job with better pay. .

That isn't a bad day at all.
Getting shot down, yes.
New job and possibly more money, great.

I would take the new job. See how it goes. If after a while you hate it, then travel.

where do you get that from, how is she a pr*cktease?

jesus_thats_gre

Yeah, sure being a pricktease would imply leading him along. But being as subtle as brick and telling him outright that he has no chance is hardly leading him on.. Strange..

Seems like a pretty cool day to me.

A) You know where you stand with your mate as opposed to being driven demented with wondering
You get offered a job
C) You are considering travelling

Flick a coin- heads, new job, tails, go travelling. Both have their advantages.

Stop looking for problems and see the advantages in your "strife".
