=(

Well it definitely sucks to be proven right about things like this.

 

[Uncledick]

There is like 30% more guys then girls in china. Desperate times call for desperate measures

 

[Ferrio]

He should do it again, but spell out "Well fuck you too"

He was a moron for doing it in the first place. Public proposals are a no-no. There's no good reason to do them at all, only bad.

 

[Desi]

Or an explanation followed by the word no.

only explanation needed would have been "I don't know you."

 

[Technosteve]

You don't put the pussy on the pedestal, son.

Amen

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

You can see the moment where his heart breaks.

 

[Vermillion]

A dude who plays guitar > a dude who knows how to form basic shapes and symbols out of candles.

He should have brought a guitar.

Fair point, lol

 

[UraMallas]

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.

That doesn't roll off the tongue quite right but the point is still valid.

 

[Chuckie]

Did he get a HJ or something?

A HJ from Megan Fox isn't a happy end. Dat toe-thumb shivers

 

[Kinyou]

Yes, but that's movies. If someone sees it happen at their mall then it'll sink in a bit more.

For added effect, we'll do it outside of Hot Topic.

From the producers that brought you Paranormal activity comes.... ROMANTIC ACTIVITY


....


I see myself out

 

[MemoryHumanity]

Poor guy. Couldn't get past the touch barrier.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

The problem is, right off the bat if someone is putting this much effort to announcing his love for someone, it already shows an unhealthy level of obsession.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"Hey you want to grab something to eat or catch a movie this Friday?"

IS THIS SO HARD?!?

This is the kind of shit you do when you are asking a girl to marry you, you know, AFTER you have already determined she has any type of remote interest in you.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

"Hey you want to grab something to eat or catch a movie this Friday?"

IS THIS SO HARD?!?

As we've seen from many posts on just GAF, yes it is hard apparently. ;P

 

[BHZ Mayor]

only explanation needed would have been "I don't know you."

Followed by a kick to the balls?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Oh wow, never have I ever witnessed so much lulz lmfao.

 

[Plywood]

Damnit Plywood I was rooting for you

I learned several rejections ago that this is not the way.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Hmmm, what's the story behind this I wonder? Had he perhaps been bothering her for a long time and he wasn't respecting her boundaries?

Or she's just immature and mean. Who knows.

 

[bigboss370]

The girl and her friends then responded by throwing a basin of water on him.

a whole basin...what?

 

[out0v0rder]

chivalry is dead, and women put it out with a basin of water.

 

[TxdoHawk]

Poor dude.

The problem with guys like this is that they often do eventually find women...women intent on treating the guy like the doormat they lay themselves out to be. It's not pretty.

You don't put the pussy on the pedestal, son.

Ding ding ding! Hopefully he's learned his lesson.

 

[Vesmir]

wat r u doin,u gt fukin rekked m8

 

[Nesotenso]

had a feeling this was China.

 

[marrec]

If that's Chivalry then it's no wonder Percival died a virgin.

 

[Vesmir]

had a feeling this was China.

Why's that?

 

[kiunchbb]

My friend had this idea once, I stopped him, now I kind of regret it. I could be on the news.

 

[dyergram]

Something something touch barrier.

 

[Five]

I want to empathize with the guy. There was a girl in college who I was good friends with, shared the same circle of friends, and had been on a couple of small dates with. To ask her to winter formal, I rewrote You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch to be about her and be all nice things, then posted the video of me playing and singing it on guitar on Facebook. Denied. So I want to empathize with the guy.

But it sounds like he didn't even know her, or had been rejected already. That's just not a wise move.

 

[rtcn63]

Guy could've been an arse hole, girl could've been an arse hole. Not dropping tears.

EDIT: I confessed my feelings for a woman (classmate for 1-2 years) once, and she was so disgusted at the thought, that she became callous, cruel. I spent my last two weeks of college watching her cozy up to the racist misogynist that said "no homo" after every sentence. I blame myself, I do.

 

[Dark Octave]

the whole story reminded me of this picture

What a dumb ass tattoo. You ain't Monroe and she would never give a fuck about you.

I'm gonna get one of Miyamoto on my right ass cheek. The left is reserved for Tommy Tallarico.

 

[geebee]

Public marriage proposals and similar things are so annoying. I wish this happened more often to attention whores.

 

[bigboss370]

i'm not ready to make any generalizations about the guy, but dropping a basin of water on someone is weird everywhere lol. like, why not just splash a glass/cup or something?

 

[SneakyStephan]

I'm with dennis : poor guy.

 

[Finaika]

Surprised this wasn't in a Malaysian library, though.

I laughed

I don't get it.

 

[superpickleman]

Romantic comedy shenanigans strike again.

He'll end up in jail if he's not careful.

 

[Ovid]

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeXQLte46rQ

I laughed. Watched it again and felt sorry for the guy.

 

[Angry Puppy]

I'm with dennis : poor guy.

Yea the result is overly harsh, but he still shouldn't have done something like that to ask someone out.

Do stuff like this when your in a stable relationship already, not to start one. The difference it makes is that it is either a really romantic gesture, or a really creepy one.

 

[G-Fex]

This is how i'm hoping the story ends for the friendzone guy on gaf

 

[terrene]

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.

Then you're a jerk. This is a news story that went international because it is very unusual to react so abusively. People all over the world are seeing this because that's an awful thing to do. I think the people saying" but what is the context?" only have a point if this guy has been harassing her. Your reaction proves that maybe she is just a bad person.

 

[SolidusDave]

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.

Yeah I'll go with this. No sympathy for him in that case.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Hahahahahha

The awful thing to do is to put someone into this situation publicly in the first place.

He went big, she responded in kind.

Nah, the candle kid is the jerk.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Given the absence of any real information about the two people, I'm just going to have to assume he was a creepy weirdo who had barely even spoken to her before. Obviously it would have been nice if she had just ignored him, but for all we know he's been giving her unwanted attention for a while and now he's caused public embarrassment.

Also, it's been said already, but a whole basin? How? Why? From where?

edit: i do feel sympathy for weirdos. not having social instincts is surely crippling.

 

[akira28]

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.

Nothing wrong with a "I'm flattered, but I'm not into you."

When you throw water and the water bucket at the guy, it's more like he offended your ego so you retaliate in kind.

 

[YoungHav]

Lmao damn this shit cracked me up while walking through the hood. I can't show any weakness here dammit!

 

[MYE]

GAF is just cold as fuck.

If this was a dude humiliating a girl, this thread would be very different

 

[Tenks]

Super creepy and over the top gesture. Girl's hand was forced.

 

[Carnby]

That poor soul. Even TV stations reported this news:

... i gotta see this. lol

 

[marrec]

Don't give me that shit, I can make bold and non-falsifiable claims too, watch:

'If this was a dude being asked out by a girl he'd have been all over that.'

If the exact same situation happened with the genders reversed, a bunch of dudes here would probably be complaining that the guy wasn't DTF, that's all.
