What do you say when she calls you out because she knows you have zero other options?
Has anything like that ever happened to you? Like, you lie about having other options, but then she's all "Yea right bro"?

Usually it's the opposite, they think I have a slew of girls I text on the regular when in reality I tend to talk to only one girl at a time. I usually take that to mean "I'm talking to a 1000 dudes so you must be too."

Just pull out your phone and start swiping right on the spot. One of these will work out! You'll see!

Since Krip has an anime avatar I just assume he walks around with a waifu body pillow and a samurai sword slung across his back. So she knows.

Haha some guy locally had to get removed from a bus and escorted home by police because he wanted to ride wielding his samurai sword. Was that you Krip??

Got a cop ride home instead of the bus? Sounds like he kind of won there.

Reminds me of that scene in Superbad. "You don't want to take the bus anyway, buses smell like piss. You know why right? Cause people piss on em."

Well we've all been wrong before.
For 4 years I thought Gravy was black
What?!....me too!



Incidentally, I was a very naive young woman and was married for a year when I met my G. I was not happy at all with the first individual, but for many stupid reasons and having been incredibly manipulated I wed him. When I went to Grad school and was away from the person, I gained both wisdom from age and distance. It was not easy to do...divorce.. but I fell hard for my G. I stood up for myself to the former little mister and to my family (no one of my parents' or my generation had ever divorced). It resulted in many years of true love and devotion. Not that it was always easy, but life with him was always worth it.
I am extra sentimental this week...tomorrow May 13, would have been our 26th wedding anniversary. We were married on a Sunday. .Mother's day 1990. Sigh/cry.

Well I'm 26 and we all know my latest story. It sounds somewhat similar, although it wasn't about her ex. It's just a matter of investing in someone you're not sure is willing to do the same, and if that's the case fuuuck that dude. If she comes around and says she wants to be serious, then sure go for it. But don't invest time and energy in someone hoping they'll return the gesture, it's a recipe for disaster. Women are just like men, if she's interested you'll know. Until then, keep it casual, enjoy fucking when you do, and go about your life.

As Haast said, I understand it's hard to not get invested. But it'll be harder to get over that shit if she burns you.
We talked about it last night. I told her that if she wanted this to work out, she's going to have let me take the place she holds for her ex. Her initial reaction to that was tears but after talking about it a long while I think she's more motivated to try. I dunno. I'm still cautiously optimistic.

I make many assumptions about people who feature anime avatars as well
It's my MMO character lol.

He's 16.

OK not really, he was 16 when I first saw him posting on flames, so he's forever 16 to me. In reality, that was sometime around 2010, so he'd be 22ish now.
Bingo. Forever Jailbait!

Dude, I'm classier than that. I keep that shit in a backpack.

Funny enough, the cop spoke Japanese, so I just told him "Rurururururururururu" and we cleared up that misunderstanding!

He did? All I remember is waiting around to get over her ex and he's having fun. Fun could be playing basketball at the park. Or carrying around his sword in his backpack.

Krip, I need confirmation.
