Well, you are free to explode here if you want (so to speak).

I can imagine your frustration. Especially with that girl. I'm not going to go off about her. I don't know her, so I can't say things like "that bitch, who needs her, you're too good for her" (though you probably are). Though I will say even if she wasn't interested, she should have just turned you down. Laughing in your face was unacceptable, and I can almost say for that reason alone you shouldn't pay her any more mind.

I don't know if this'll make you feel any better, but I can share something with you. When I was in high school, there was someone I kinda liked, and they were nice to me. But I never got the nerve to ask them out because I was intimidated by the vast difference in our popularity, and I've regretted it every day. Even if they laughed in my face, at least I would have know, and not been left with an empty "what if" feeling. So at least you had the courage to try, and when you find someone else, someone better, you'll already know what it means to be rejected, so you won't have to be afraid. You'll confidently ask them out. If they say yes, great. If they say no, then they weren't the right person, or you just need to try harder (but not with this one, no one should laugh at you like that, that ignorant bi... ahem).

Any time, man. And really, to have such a crappy day and still have that nerve to ask her out? You are a braver person then I am. GF or no GF, I'm proud of you, and you should be too.

Just keep being you, and you'll find that right someone in no time. The most important thing is to try, and you've proven you have the resolve for that. So kudos to you, sir.

Yeah, Marine.

I know how hard it is to get the courage to ask someone out like that. It took me months to tell all my love interests in school how I felt about them, you're really brave for even approaching her. I agree with zombs, if she really just laughed in your face, she's not worth your attention. So don't pay her any mind.

I agree with Zombie so much that there's little to say other than "I agree," so I'll be the other friend. That bitch, who needs her, you're too good for her. :)

Seriously though, the sting will wear off quickly, and you'll see your eyes are much clearer when it does.

As I stated before, I have a premium selection of cacti for use in shoving up people's asses. Just say the word.

But on a serious note, good on you for toughing it out. I know quite a few people who would be in a bit worse place if such a string of events had happened to them, especially that last one. For now, just kick back, relax, and destress in whatever manner you do so. Things will get better.

Whilst I am not really the best source of information on relationship matters, it's pretty plain that if someone rebuffs you like that, they're not worth it. People like that are the reason others, myself included, are too scared to ask that question - not out of fear of rejection, per se, but out of that kind of rejection.

When I get back to my laptop, I'll have an interesting story to tell regarding relationships and why people can be incredibly poor at handling them. For now, just know that, unless she was poisoned by laughing gas at the time, she has absolutely no excuse to have reacted in such a manner. It's cruel and just... bah.

We can all probably compare horror stories, but the important part is what comes after. The Earth keeps spinning, the sun keeps shining, and none of us are completely destroyed. And when it comes to the next person, we're probably a lot less scared of the consequences because of that. Just like a broken bone, we come together stronger than the last time. And also because the woman who laughed probably dropped out of high school and started doing coke with a guy with a nose ring.

I hear that. I think mine's (well, my friend's) a story for another time. People like that just make me frustrated with humanity in general, you know? I spent half an hour ranting to myself this morning after reading that.

In the words of James Vega, "Loco. Completely loco."

Yeah, I get you. I was 4 feet-something until 12th grade, so I know rejection far too well. But I'm always optimistic :D I try to find a good person for every shitty person I come across. This place is a good source of good people.

Another NPC mission will be going up tomorrow. In addition, BMPixy has his hands on the next mission, and is working on his lone part now (I hope).

And check out Adramm's latest post if you haven't already.

I knew I should have thrown this Fay solo up earlier, now it seems like I'm jumping on the coincidental meeting train.
