The awkward moment when you check the sites which bring people to your blog and one of them is described at "free sex dating for adults" ! My blog is all about US Sports which makes me majorly confused about how these things work :P

Turns out Blogger is a lot more versatile than I gave it credit for... was beginning to wish I'd chose WP for a while.

A girl gave me her number tonight... What the hell do I do now!? She's way too cool for me... Ah :-(

None of this waiting around for 3 days bullshít. If you like her text her something like "hey how are you, did you have a good night last night or something". She clearly gave you her number for a reason!

JamJamJamJam · 16-09-2012 11:38AM

Yeah I guess.. I'm really not good at this though, so I can see it going badly when she realises..!

What didn't help was some guy last night saying he wouldn't go out with me unless I changed everything about me.. That's a lot :-P

Do what I do:

- Obsess about it constantly for a few days.
- Replay in your head every single word she said to you to scan for sarcasm and/or hints that she was actually dared/bet by her friends to give you her number.
- Write out several drafts of the test message you want to send, trying your best not to sound creepy/stalkerish.
- Realise that despite your best efforts, the text message seems creepy/stalkerish.
- Repeat step #2.
- Final draft of text message.
- Send text message.
- Get no reply.
- Cry.

Thankfully this process doesn't happen to me much. :P

Probably his way of saying he's heterosexual.

In other news flapjacks are great.

anirishlad · 16-09-2012 01:38PM

Does facebook depress anybody else?:P

Like i'll see people putting up pictures from last night going "what a great night at blah blah" and like everybodys so happy and im just here writing out german verbs feeling sorry for myself and my social awkwardness.

Not in that way, more in the sense that I'm completely fed up with it.

Haha! That was the problem, he's gay, so he was serious :P

But anyway, flapjacks = okay.

Chocolate flapjacks = spot on :P

You've gotta have the chocolate!

See now there's your problem. If someone takes ages to contact me I'd be thinking 'Well they're obviously not bothered. Fuck 'em I'm not even going to reply.'
Where as if I get a text the next day, it's like 'Oh they want to talk to me, that's sweet!'

I was being semi-tongue-in-cheek. In reality I probably would send a really awkward cringy text the next morning.

Hasn't been an issue though, as I've only ever got a girl's number once, and she was with her boyfriend at the time, so nothing was going to happen there. :P

Just because she has a boyfriend doesn't mean nothing can happen. You've got to sweet-talk her, and bad mouth him. Eventually they'll have a fight and she'll be crying in your arms. One thing will lead to another and ye will be in the bedroom ready to get down to a business transaction. When she strips down in front of you, play innocent and give her a lecture on the wrongs of infidelity.

Davidius, you really are a funny man.

Yeah sure anybody would think that if you look at your facebook wall. In fact, it's been documented that people having over a certain amount of facebook "friends", something like 360, makes them more likely to contemplate/commit suicide as their own life seems far inferior to the lives of the many facebook friends.

However, it must be remembered that Facebook shows a completely inaccurate representation of someone's life. The majority of people only post on facebook what is good about their life. Chances are, there's equally as many bad things in such a person's life. So looking at all of these people's "fantastic" lives and comparing them to your own may make you suicidal.

It's ridiculous really, and one of the reasons I don't really use facebook much, apart from the groups feature. I rarely post anything to my own page.
360 friends+ is quite ridiculous really if you ask me anyway, if you have that many "friends" you aught to take a look at your friends list and how many of them can really be considered friends.

I don't think he meant the word depressed that strongly to be honest, I'll wait for him to respond but maybe suicidal is too strong a word, when you look at his smiley afterwards.

As flyswatter probably just said i misused depress a bit there, just meant like you feel bad seeing your friends going off to partys and meeting new people and you not being invited.

I try to avoid it as much as I can but at my age if your not on it you will be automatically be put down as one of those weirdo's who doesn't like to talk to people :P People dont really give each other there numbers anymore, they just say they'll add each other on facebook and see how it goes on from there. I agree with you about the whole friends thing alot of people in my year would have 600+ and i know 2 or 3 with 1500+ which is just crazy, I only have 204 so I guess I'm doing something right.:pac:

Oh how I know how you feel...
People in my year have this fun habit of inviting a majority of my year to a party, but not me, and then the photos/discussion of said party are all over Facebook and im just there like... yeah.. ok...
(I have friends outside school that DO invite me to things, its just my year seem to think im a weird nerdy girl who cant have a good time -_-)

Oh I wasn't implying anything extreme, that's just the example given in studies. There's some correlation there in sadness anyway :P

As for adding people on facebook, I'll add acquaintances. For example, those in my class. But I'll have their number if they are my proper friend or if it was a girl I met on a night out I'll ask for their number.

wnolan1992 · 16-09-2012 08:13PM

I did a quick search on iTunes for the new Newton Faulkner album, and when it came up I quickly scanned over the price.

I saw "75..." and had a heart attack. Was like "DAFUQ? how is it so expensive."

Then reread it and spotted the KR after it... forgot I'd switched to the Swedish store last night.

On the topic of Facebook, it can be quite disheartening to see your "friends" plan elaborate parties, with blackjack and hookers, and not be one of the 150 people invited.

I have less than 300 "friends", and only regularly interact with about 25 of them.

Hairycopper · 16-09-2012 08:32PM

I like facebook because

-You can feel so much better about your own crap grammar.
-Other peoples lives seem so mundane, they have to start arguments on it.
-The odd person thinks it's their diary, my inner nosiness is satisfied.
-you can stalk people without getting arrested.
-I can contact people easily enough and vice versa

I hate it for all those reasons too though.

Togepi · 17-09-2012 12:42AM

I really dislike Facebook these days. I don't know, it's just, people spend too much time on it and put too much of their lives up on it. I have to agree with the generation above us that it's a bit mental. Announcing stuff like engagements, births, marriages, even exam/interview results and relationship statuses to people through Facebook is kind of crazy. Obviously it's nice to share good news and all that, but what I mean is that it's a bit weird to find out that (for example) a relative is getting married by logging onto Facebook rather than having someone tell you in person or over the phone.
