I'm not a guy, but I do know a lot about people and how they think.? And I'm sorry to say it, but I don't think he's interested.? He sounds like a nice person who doesn't want to hurt your feelings.? ?But it wasn't an accident that you overheard him saying he didn't want a girlfriend, I can almost promise that was for your benefit.

I know its hard to give up on someone when you have so many hopes built around them, but if you don't back off, he'll probably start avoiding you.? Guys (except MCT) don't like to have uncomfortable conversations.?

Baby, speaking from personal experience, if you've let him know how you feel... back off and let him make the next move.  If he chooses not to take the next step and ask you out, then you have to try to move on.  I know that the thought of getting over him sounds unbearable... but the more emotionally attached you become, the more painful it will be in the end.  Even if he is interrested though, it can still hurt like hell.  Believe me, I know

How long should I wait until he does? Should I just coast for now and wait until he makes official plans to bowl?

That is some great advice.

Alice, listen to Sterling.

Don't wait on him, honey.? Just try to go about your business, maybe get involved in something new to take your mind off him as best you can.? I mean, I'm sure you don't care to date anyone else... but just be cool.? Go out with the girls!? ?? What you don't want to do is call him a bzillion times, or hang around him like a lost puppy.? No ma'am!? None o' that!? ? ? Noooo!!
If you get to the point that you're feeling a little less strongly about him, and he still hasn't made a move to date you... TIME UP!? ?? ?No first girlfriend, and the guy's eighteen?? You may wanna go out and get a little more experince yourself so you can show him a thing er two!? ?
I kid, I kid... ? ?


PS.? I am pretty trashed right now, so I hope this makes a little sense? ?

[Chelle]

Guys are dumb, he'll start liking you precisely the moment you've moved on and found someone else.
Sorry but this is how it will turn out...

That is so true!  Boys are dumb

Guys don't like to have uncomfortable conversations.?

Yeah, we just like to burp and fart and dominate...

I think I'll go comb my arse now and pursue the measure of a man myth...

Come on, are you going to tell me that as a senior in high school, you would choose to be around a girl who was going to constantly put you on the spot about your feelings?  Especially when you didn't return her affectionate feelings?  If so, then you are the exception.

[MCT]

Guys don't like to have uncomfortable conversations.  

Firstly, you used a completely unmitigated generalization to grandstand your own personal belief. And by doing so you conjectured that I don't like to have those "uncomfortable" conversations, because, well, the last time I blasted the toilet I did so with my dickie bird, and that makes me one of those creatures who, according to you, doesn't like to engage in uncomfortable conversations. Whereas in truth, I love exchanges of that nature. Makes me feel human.

Now...

Come on, are you going to tell me that as a senior in high school, you would choose to be around a girl who was going to constantly put you on the spot about your feelings?? Especially when you didn't return her affectionate feelings?? If so, then you are the exception.

...don't try to use me as a prop. Expecting me to tackle the strawman here is just cheap. Exception to the rule indeed!

Moving on (and just for the sake of it), I'll directly answer your above post:

The reality is that the whole scenario laid out here is like a slice of my own high school history. And that's it. Yes to the question.

Now the reality doesn't end there, mind you. It extends to the point of you offering up personal belief in the guise of honest-to-goodness actuality and then going so far as to inflect the entire scene with said personal belief in a silly attempt to draw me in towards the aforementioned strawman and thus "prove" your point by slipping out the back door while I'm still onstage with my foot in my mouth.

Uh-uh...

I mean if I inadvertently blurted that all ye little girlies are sluts (and let's say you ignored the inherent strawman aspect of the statement and simply decided to respond to the accusation), what would you say?

Anyway, this is just a buncha ballyhoo about nothing (Shakespeare? ?) that could easily be abated if you were to amend that silly statement of yours that I took the liberty of making black.

I'm so bold...

[Sterlingdog]

There are exceptions to every generalization.  I expect most intelligent people to realize that without my needing to state it.  It wasn't meant as an insult, and wasn't directed towards you personally. 

But I'm an expert in human behavior and I stand by what I said.  By her description of his behavior, I believe he's not interested in her in a romantic way and she will chase him off by being too pushy and making him uncomfortable in the majority of their contacts.

Yes. Hence the word itself...

I expect most intelligent people to realize that without my needing to state it.?

Well obviously my dear. But that didn't quite stop you from convienently trying out this angle:

Of course it wasn't meant as an insult! Of course it wasn't directed towards me personally!

OBVIOUSLY!!!

^Sarcasm. Heavy Sarcasm.

But it became that simply because you spoke for malekind (and the way your post was written attests to that ), because I was in the mood to call you on it (nothing else to do ), and because I have (protruding as we speak) what some people call........................ ...................a cock........

But I'm an expert in human behavior

And I'm a raisin................................(<-- ellipsis on crack-->)...................................(<--mine-->)....................

The funny thing is, I agree with you.

Now amend your statement.

When a lot of my friends get serious we agree, there's no need to have a commitment this early. Also we agree friends (regardless of their sex) are better than girlfriends because it's just easier on everyone. Don't worry about him, just be a friend if you really like the guy.

like he said, sex is better with friends than g/fs

dont ask dont tell

[Sterlingdog]

and because I have (protruding as we speak) what some people call........................ ...................a cock........

You seem to like to point that out.?

And I'm a raisin

Really?? Do you get paid for that? Because believe it or not, I actually get paid to give people my opinions on human behavior.?

Now amend your statement.

Done.? ?

I love a sharp wit. I think I'm falling in love with you.

And I'm a raisin

Really?

No. Raisins can't use computers.

Do you get paid for that?

Ah...how you wax burlesque...

Because believe it or not, I actually get paid to give people my opinions on human behavior.?

Oh I believe you. Such clich?-ridden thought is perfect for that line of work. You've got the odds on your side and no doubt you're at least moderately successful.

But that's hardly impressive and approaches like yours are a dime a dozen.

Now amend your statement.

Done.? ?

... ...

EDIT - Aren't there any other dickheads out there willing to admit to their humanity? That way we can force I don't stir the pot Sterling to make more edits!

Now wouldn't that be fun? ?
