GAF is just cold as fuck.

When you play the game of setting up a bunch of stupid candles in order to convey a message of love but not using enough candles to actually spell anything out because you're obviously poor... you either win or you lose.

Speaking from someone who had to embarrass someone in a similar way once, I wouldn't doubt that this wasn't the first time the boy expressed his interest.

A lot of guys out there, for SOME reason, think that "not interested" means "go bigger and bigger until I'm FORCED to be interested." Had a guy (who could have been a good friend), ask me out continuously, with me turning him down each time. Finally reached a breaking point when he uploaded an incredibly embarrassing youtube video of himself asking me out and posted it on facebook. It was incredibly mortifying. I defriended him, told him to leave me the fuck alone when he called, and never spoke to him again.

This poor kid obviously means well, but I'd bet any kind of money that this isn't his first time going after that girl unsuccessfully. She's was probably at a breaking point. Guys ALSO don't take into account how extremely embarrassing these "grand gestures" can be for the other person, especially if the interest isn't reciprocated.

...i laughed

and now i cant stop whats wrong with me, that pic with the water all over him is just..lol. noob tears mmmm mmmm. That guy should be happy in a way though least he's not wasting his thoughtfulness and effort on someone who could care less about it, move on....but never forget lol.

oh and simpsons did it.

This lady is awesome. I have no idea what she's saying, but towards the end when her facial expression changes, I imagine she's like, "come on, son"

 

[Alex Connolly]

I need to know where you get a basin of water at such short notice.

 

[royalan]

I need to know where you get a basin of water in such short notice.

Seeing as there's an officer on the scene, it was probably there for safety precautions.

[entremet]

Simping ain't easy.

Can't believe someone beat me to it.

You and your logic, sir.

In any case, I agree with the sentiment that this new found shame-fame has netted him a harem of girls willing to hook up with the bloke. Awkward, but hilariously sentimental.

 

[Lebron]

I said GOT DAMN


Ripped out his heart and everything hahaha

 

[Aiii]

To be honest, to get this kind of response, I'm gonna assume there is a history here and this is probably not the first time she turned him down. Probably not the second or third time either.

Then again, different cultures and what not, maybe she's just a shit person.

 

[bjork]

For the first time ever, I wish I could have an animated avatar.

 

[Count Dookkake]

What a douche.

 

[ThisWreckage]

His loins once burned but now they ache with such sogginess.

 

[strafer]

the whole story reminded me of this picture

dem tits

 

[The Technomancer]

Perhaps the public attention was unwanted? Perhaps a guy making a big display in candles who you don't know very well is kinda creepy? Perhaps he smelled bad? The guy seemed like he needed a cooler head going into this.

No I mean why did he do this

 

[Miss Riot]

dem tits

=(

 

[maomaoIYP]

When she does this she's saying that not only did she splash him with water with a basin, she threw the basin at him too.

 

[royalan]

GAF is KILLING me with these thread juxtapositions today.

When she does this she's saying that not only did she splash him with water with a basin, she threw the basin at him too.

Damn.

I guess it's safe to say she's not interested, then.

 

[Aureon]

The question, to both parties, is the same:
Why would you embarrass a fellow human being like that?

 

[Air]

His love was washed out, but the soul still burns.

 

[Wiktor]

Harsh and humiliating, but the girl has shown her true colors. Better to be hurt like that and give up than to then learn the hardway during relationship what kind of person she truly is.

 

[Days like these...]

I need to know where you get a basin of water at such short notice.

I'm guessing one of the onlookers knew them and text her so she'd come suitably prepared.

Yeah she's either the biggest bitch ever (in which case he dodged a bullet and should be glad) or he's been harassing this girl for a while to get her to go out with him. Those are the only scenarios which would illicit such a response.

 

[DR2K]

He should have known she was a squirter.

"Candleman has struck again, this time in Downtown London as he spelled out a message to the elderly Queen of the nation"

*picture with 'Ur a bit old, but I'm still DTF' spelled out in candles*

 

[kaioshade]

Birth of a supervillain.

Not quite sure about suervillain, but this is the kind of shit that can warp someone's mind. He could up having a very deep rooted resentment of women. Shit like that is not good.

Damn, she could have just said no. Wonder if thats the whole "princess girl" phenomenon at work again.

I just love how pleased she looks as she's reporting. It's great.

 

[FourMyle]

Lmao

Guy got fucking dominated.

 

[zma1013]

This is a perfect example why movie logic isn't true.

But they threw water on him, which I thought only happened in movies. What a quandary.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

I would of been super tight if a guy did this to me as well. That type of public display is embarrassing and also forces you to comply with the situation in the eyes of many. It's also misleading and selfish. I probably wouldn't pour water on him but I would just leave and cuss him the fuck out when I saw him.

 

[Dorrin]

This one is old but has always been one that got me.

[Bleepey]

I admire his confidence but he fucked up. I guess it's one of those learning experiences he learnt the hard way. In the same way you don't run through a airport lobby because that shit seemed romantic cos you watched one too many shitty romantic comedies, you don't lay out an orgy of lights cos you think it will help you get with her when by the sounds of it you don't know this girl that well.

 

[Nibel]

This ain't friendzoned

This is etherzoned

 

[Akuun]

Poor guy.

Why did the girl happen to have a bucket of water on her?

 

[Resilient]

Bone headed move but good on him for at least trying. Although he should have considered how the reciprocant may have been embarrassed by such an idea, he had the nads to put his heart on the line. Instead of asking her to hang out and talk video games.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Damn.

I guess it's safe to say she's not interested, then.

Hey, free basin.

 

[.GqueB.]

the whole story reminded me of this picture

Yea but if I remember correctly that ended happily for him...

...there will be no happiness here.

 

[SmackDaddy]

He thirsty?

lo fucking l. Love this term

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

poor dude:'(

Voice of reason does not work on GAF.



And yes, without know the background (which we will not know) it is impossible to judge the situation.

But even if it was not some kind of breakpoint, you should never do such a thing unless you are pretty sure that the girl also loves you and that she is cool with that kind of exposure. Unless it is a receipt for doom.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Holy creepness batman.

 

[youngwerther]

Lol from the title I was expecting it to be like little 7 year olds or something.

 

[jts]

Did he get a HJ or something?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Drake got these dudes fucked up outchea

All that sucka ass fuck that ninja that you love so bad shit doesn't work in real life

 

[FourMyle]

Took a lot of guts doing what he did even though ill adviced.

How cruel to respond like that.

Let us be honest. If a girl had made this display and a boy had thrown the water everyone would be saying what a giant asshole he was.

If some uggo pulled something like this on me I'd absolutely drench her and all those stupid candles with whatever liquid I have at hand. This is a shitty situation to put someone - anyone - in and I wouldn't blame man or woman for reacting like this girl did.
