I said wow.
Wow. Wow.
This thread is both funny and sad the same time. More sad, I guess.
Every story like this proves that nobody should make a fool out of themselves for love. Gotta have that healthy self-respect and love for yourself so that you know when to stop. Rejection is painful but never put anyone on a pedestal high enough that you go full on desperate. A real, healthy love is always two-ways and starts of with some level of mutual attraction. And that's the only kind that worth actually fighting for.
But again, wow.

Well I guess the silver lining here is that at least he got his embarrassing moment out and will be better prepared next time.
Since we can't speak on here. I just showed her thread and my post about telling her that my feelings may not change.The following is our exchange on Notepad since he's still right there and I'm sure he's figured out what's up.
OP: This maybe creepy but ain't no one ever gonna care for you like I do
Her: . . . . . I'm sorry ): >: D: >:
OP: Maybe we really should take some time off...see what happens...
Her: Yeah. Maybe there will be someone out there and you will find her
OP: Could u clone yourself?
Her:I wished but yeah. Plenty o' fish in da ocean
I showed her Taylor Swift's You belong With me lyrics at this point.
OP: Sorry that I had to put you thru this.. but I couldn't take it anymore...
Her: It's okay. I know that sometimes we have to clear things out in order to move on.
Probably cringe worthy to most of y'all and I guess I fucked up huh? Not sure what I'm supposed to do now, we're all still sitting her.

Only now catching up to what happened today but holy fuck at that awkwardness, sorry OP but you screwed up big time. Taylor Swift lyrics? Seriously? Don't be that guy OP...
Come on OP, open your eyes ffs. He's not the reason it didn't work out, you never stood a chance.

I love these types of threads because the OP(s) always completely disregard all advice to the contrary secretly thinking that s/he can overcome all and then it blows up in their faces for all of us to see.

It was 99% beforehand.
Yeah, I mean of course there was a lot of questionable advice in this thread as well but I'd say nobody can doubt that OP would have been better off with even the worst advice. If he would have just gone with the ring and the proposal...
Nope, OP gave himself an illusionary 1% chance.

Real talk dude. In a few years, when you're a little older and more experienced, maybe once you're married or whatever to an even better girl, you're going to look back on this moment and have a hearty laugh and say "ah, I remember doing that. That was funny."
Right now though? I just cringed in four dimensions.

You know, I'm certain that there are people out there who have succeeded by playing Taylor Swift songs, or Drake songs. Girl probably thought it was sweet, even. That said, watching the failure is that much more amusing.

Well, it won't work for all threads, but if the thread has anything at all to do with a guy trying to get with a girl, chances are it shall be good.
Not only you showed her this thread, you also went emo and sent her Taylor Swift song/lyric? Oh man, I can't even describe how hair-raising it was reading your description. It's like watching a trainwreck in slow-motion.
Ah well, live and learn, I suppose. But normally those things you did do not do yourself a favor at all.

I once serenaded an ex via text with a verse from "our song". I was young and smitten, but still cringed a little as I hit send.
Cheesy as fuck, but she loved it!
Lesson learned: a little bit of cheese goes a long way. Don't mound her plate high with the stuff OP, especially when she is simply an acquaintance at the time.
She choked on all that cheese bro.

Not sure if sadder if real or a troll?
But I did literally face palm at the post about the Taylor swift exchange so fair play

Edit: Lord you have it bad if you are using lyrics of a Taylor Swift song to convince a girl to go out with you. I dont think Ive met anyone out of high school that would think this was a good thing.
In the future when you meet a girl the first few days into the semester, ask them out. That way you dont have to worry about other guys moving in, wasting time with someone who doesnt want to go out with you anyways, get put in the friendzone, etc. If you see something you like, take a deep breath, make sure you still have a pair, go up and introduce yourself and say hello, forget any lame pickup line or "surefire" method that some guy swear works. Introducing yourself and saying hello is simple and easy, plus you dont have to worry about what ifs. I have got a lot more numbers and dates just keeping it simple saying hello and introducing myself, than every time I tried using a pickup line or a gimmick combined.
If she says yes, ask her to some casual place at first to get to know them better. You will get rejected, sometimes multiple times in a row, it happens to the best of us. Learn to accept it and move on. That is one of the hardest things to do for some guys, they get rejected once and it takes them a month to move on. That is what makes classes of 200 plus people a lot of fun to take. If you get rejected, you move on to another one that will be interested in you.
If you really like a girl, you can try getting together under the excuse of a study group, but you risk the friend zone or wasting your time on someone who isnt interested. If you wait around for one girl all semester and she says no, you have wasted all that time on someone who has never interested. A great thing about college is you will meet a lot of girls each semester, if things go badly one semester, forget it and try again with the next group of ladies you meet the next semester. This isnt the 50s when you have to court a woman for a year. Every now and then good friends will turn into something more, but it is usually because they have feelings for one another all along, and no one said anything.
The show Friendzone on MTV is pretty funny to watch. It is easy to see when the women are going to say no, but usually when a guy stays friend with a girl for a long time, it is because he has feelings for her all along. I know some guys can be just friends with a girl, but personally I cant be just friends with a lady unless she is an ex and I no longer want to be in a relationship with her, or if I really like the girl and she is in a committed relationship. I have stayed friends with some ladies for years, because I had feelings for them and I am not a scumbag to make a move on someone elses lady.

Now that the OP got that out of his system, the next time he comes across a girl he has feelings for all he's got to do is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what he did here! Taylor Swift lyrics? That's fucking embarrassing

Sorry it happened that way, OP. For the future, you should do the opposite of everything you just did. Find the girl, ask her out, and move on if she refuses. No emotional spillages, no Taylor Swift lyrics. None of that stuff, man. Just makes you look overly emotional and clingy/awkward.

Where is that Kornheiser "WHY" image?
Ok I'm back home from dinner. I'll summarise everything that's happened soon and add it to the OP.
Clearly, I went full retard there. I was desperate though, and was just kinda throwing everything I could at her.
And well that obviously did nothing to change her mind. This may seem incredible to some people, but yeah we're still friends. Still plenty of laughing and joking afterwards. We kinda figured that I need to take some time off though, so I guess I'm not going to chat with her on FB or play any Dota 2 with her. I'll only see her next week after all.
And I spoke to my friend who knows about this and who I thought told the dude about me meeting the girl, apparently he had known for about 2 weeks when i asked him if he was dating this girl(I didn't know if they were then) and he figured out that I had feelings for her. Never mentioned it though, and didn't ask me to back off or anything.
I felt rather horrible for attempting to pressure her into changing her mind(after I came to my senses) hence me apologising in the second Notepad conversation.
Pleased that the thread entertained most of you although some people seemed legit sad. Don't be if you think I've fucked up our friendship, if it's me though then yeah...
As for me, guess I gotta just move on Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that since it's my first time I'll ignore everyone's advice, fuck up and then learn from it. I suppose he was right.
