[Vox-Pop]

There is this girl at work that I like. She works in a different department than me. But two weeks ago when I was going to my area to work I saw her there. I was so happy because I thought she was visiting and I would have the chance to stare at her up close, I've only seen her from far away. So I get there all happy when some other girl tells me she's about to leave. I'm confused because the girl I like stays there. At that instant I realize she's not visiting but staying there. I immediately freak. A million random thoughts start flying through my head. I have no idea what to do. I'm usually ok around girls. I never get nervous. I'm not attracted to most people so there is never any reason to get scared. I just make small talk or don't make effort at all since I don't like the person romantically or want to be friends. But this girl is different. She makes me so scared. When I look at her I just shut down. So we were working together for the whole day and it was the worst day of my life. I tried avoided her by pretending to be busy doing some work. Everything I said made me sound like a total loser. Even when I was trying to act cool I sounded like a idiot. I just couldn't come up with anything-not even small talk. So the whole day was a waste. I left work physically upset and frustrated. I was disappointed with myself. I spent the days afters just depressed. I saw her again the next time I had to work in a work meeting- she looked good. She's super skinny, she was wearing jeans because of casual Friday. I kinda realized she was too good for and could do better. I was kinda looking at her but she didn't even look back. It's like I didn't exist. All day I was thinking she was mad because I didn't talk to her the day we worked together. I was going to try to talk to her again after work but I just couldn't come up with anything interesting. I also didn't want to go up to her. I just don't know what to say to her. So this last Saturday I'm taking my lunch when she comes into the lunch area with a hot pocket. She turns her back at puts the hot pocket in the microwave. I quickly start thinking of scenarios in my head and also wonder if she was planning to sit next to me because I was the only one in the lunch room. I start to panic. The microwave made it worse because it was ticking time. Even though my lunch wasn't over I just left. I still annoyed over my actions. I've been thinking about this for the last few weeks. I don't what to do. I know it's something stupid and childish but I really don't know what to say when she close to me. On Sunday I felt really bad. Didn't even go home after work. I haven't been able to concentrate on anything else either. I was supposed to apply for this cool video game job and finish reading some books but haven't felt in the mood to do much. I'm more frustrated because I really like her, it's hard for me to actually like some like this. It either takes me a long time to realize I like someone or get a crush very quickly that I forget about after an hour. And even if I liked someone I would be able to talk to them. This time it was different. It all I think about. I'm obsessed. The first time I looked at her I just felt different. I like her so much but I can't even be around her. With my dad acting like a psycho, my glasses broken-can't even see now-can't afford new ones, a shitty job and I just started freaking out on Sunday when I realized my birthday was almost coming up and how old I was, I just don't know what to do. This year is turning out worst than last. See you guys around.

Not surprised who the OP is.

Can you break that shit up into paragraphs so it's readable?

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Have you accepted Jesus as your lord and savior?

 

[Vic]

Where's your avatar?

 

[lunarworks]

I'm scared to read that block of text.

 

[Slightly Live]

I would have the chance to stare at her up close

Get help.

 

[Tornado Condor]

Yep, vox pop

 

[wenis]

She's only a figment of your imagination Voxy.

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air"
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air

I'm scared. Someone else read it and tell us what it says.

[sazabirules]

Did you already like her before you had even seen her up close?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Vox is the Michael Jordan of girl threads.

[weekend_warrior]

what the fuck.

 

[Medalion]

Wut

 

[entremet]

Paragraphs make reading stuff so much easier, OP.

 

[Seraphinianus]

so you're the token "really forever alone, like, for real" guy

 

[Salazar]

This is some Nicholson Baker Mezzanine shit. Hot pockets, microwaves, tight jeans.

 

[Replicant]

So you've been having a crush on this girl who works at different department and one day she ends up working at your department?

That's good, isn't it? If you're nervous being around her, try to talk to her like she's a friend.

 

[mr2xxx]

Basically vox is scared to talk to a girl he likes. How old are you Vox?

 

[dallow_bg]

Haha

 

[goober]

Wait, if you can't see well without glasses, how do you know she's attractive?

 

[Rikyfree]

V-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-virgin!

 

[Tornado Condor]

Basically vox is scared to talk to a girl he likes. How old are you Vox?

GAF should have a requirement where only 13+ old people can post. That would weed out people like vox.

 

[Unknown One]

Your introverted mind is your worst enemy. Ignore your scenarios man.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

I'm scared. Someone else read it and tell us what it says.

He has a crush on one girl and now it looks like her desk got moved near his which totally fucked up his sense of self. He becomes socially handicapped around her.

I have no idea what diagnosis he expects gaf to give.

Since the guy won't do it himself...

Now that that's done, I can go back and read it. Time to see if the content's scarier and more depressing than the wall.

That line you quoted is creepy as shit

I believe that's what my former boss would call a "loaf" of text

No problem, bro.

 

[JDSN]

Pretend she is 12. Im sure ill work for you just fine.

 

[How About No]

I look at Vox's posts and laugh.

Then I look at myself, see a bit of him in me and cry.

Then I look at Vox's posts and laugh again.

 

[SapientWolf]

So this last Saturday I'm taking my lunch when she comes into the lunch area with a hot pocket. She turns her back at puts the hot pocket in the microwave.

So what happened to the hot pocket? Did it turn out okay? You can't just leave us hanging like that.

Also, like I've said before, whether or not you think she's out of your league, you're right.

 

[SRG01]

Holy God, even I wasn't like this during my most introverted days of high school. But then again, most of my friends were girls too...

edit: Yes, clearly you're obsessed. But remember that crushes are always delusions. JUST TALK TO HER.

 

[TL4E]

I read the first sentence, then looked half way down the paragraph and read something about hot pockets.

 

[Night_Trekker]

So what happened to the hot pocket? Did it turn out okay? You can't just leave us hanging like that.

That was just clever innuendo

 

[sazabirules]

Just don't spend three years watching this girl's Facebook like the last one.

[Kinitari]

I don't know what the fuck the rest of GAF is talking about, this is the feel good OP of the week. I've never felt better about myself.

Advice for getting comfortable around women in a non-romantic-explicit situations: Imagine she has a penis. No joke, try and separate yourself from your attraction and infatuation because that's not something you're comfortable expressing. Let yourself get more comfortable around her (and vice versa) before you go making your move. This way, if she rejects you, or already has a BF, or something else that pretty much cockbocks you, hey, now you can continue to imagine her as a transvestite and you don't have to worry about feeling awkward around here.

Note: Advice not applicable if you're into male transvestites.
