crushes

[Mr. Tea]

you asked her by email? no wonder she said no....

Serves him right for trying to pull the sysadmin.

Should have written anonymous love notes designed to get picked up in the email filter.

ok so my attempt to make my crush more than a crush = fail, lol.
oddly i felt better soon as i got her email, despite the lameness of the reply (i personally prefer just not replying when i get asked out and dont want to say yes).

Can you reproduce both emails here? Purely so we can analyse the contents, for a post-mortem breakdown.

it was a 1000 word declaration of my love. in boldface, size 18 font.

Damn...if you'd only used Comic Sans...

 

[baboon2004]

i find myself somewhat enamoured of you

Think it needs an exclamation mark.

 

[gumdrops]

maybe if i had used multicoloured text, things would have turned out different.

 

[baboon2004]

oh for fuck's sakes go out with me!!!!

ah, you said multicoloured. still. magenta isn't swinging it.

 

[Mr. Tea]

May I suggest making your feelings known in the medium of PowerPoint? With clipart and animations and everything?

 

[mistersloane]

Ask the Fucked Up Crew do make a video declaring love for you

I'd go out with anyone who sent me that. Except Cactus Jack, cos she's a bit scary.

Ah condolences man. I've felt a sort of relief in the past when I've asked girls out even if they've said no, just cause I've shown to myself that I can work up the courage to do it

 

[Corpsey]

I've never asked a girl for anything.

If I get served by a girl at McDonalds, I just point at the Big Mac and growl meaningfully.

This is starting to sound like some sort of self-flagellating man-date coach seminar thing.

Betas Anonymous?

 

[Dr Awesome]

Fuck it, by the way.

[gumdrops]

yeah its ok, i dont need/want consoling or or some sort of dissensus version of that 'fuck these hoes!' (im paraphrasing) tom cruise seminar in magnolia.

regretting posting my update now.

 

[paolo]

I think we should all arrange a time to get drunk and vent our relationship/emotional issues on here

 

[gumdrops]

ok so a few things have changed since i last posted about this (though i have stuck with comic sans, just reduced the font to 12) and i spent last night at my crushes flat. seeing her again in the week.

great news, way to go! been using techniques from "the game"?

It was my love interest's last day at work on Thursday. I asked if she wanted to go out with me sometime and she said yes and gave me her number

Texted her yesterday morning just to say hi and she's not replied yet
