If a girl doesn’t like you, but you just keep pursuing her, everything will eventually work out and you’ll be happy together.

Being told this time and time and time again has really fucked the male psyche over the years.

The centre of that circle appears to be a tool shop. I don't like what that might suggest...

it's an address i lived at years ago. fun fact, there's a public high school right near the middle

Okay, what's going on with that particular spot in Tampa? I'm not doing a web search on this, thanks.

[–] solsangraal 22 points 1 month ago

the 3 mile radius search returned a "too many hits to display" error, so i had to change it to 1 mile

it's st. petersburg, and it's not unique to that area. try your own neighborhood. it's a govt. website https://www.nsopw.gov/

Next you'll be telling me that "So, how often do you flick the bean?" is not a great pickup line.

Are you my cat? Sometimes he won't stop!

Haha it's from a movie.

Uhm, it kinda happened for me, I felt that this girl liked me but she said no the first time. I stuck around, as we were in the same group of friends, and after a while she changed her mind. We've been together for over a decade.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was the boombox outside her window that got her, wasn't it? /s

I'm betting it was the weekly delivery of flowers with 'anonymous' notes that left no doubt who was sending them if a moment's thought was used.

Actually it was watching Tank Girl together 🤷‍♂️

Fucking love Tank Girl

Kinda happened for me and I'm the girl in the situation! I had a guy who was creepily obsessed with me and would threaten to hurt himself all the time if he didn't get his way. He even showed up at my house uninvited once and he always kept insisting we were dating. I kept telling him we were just friends at best, that's it, but he'd freak out, insist we were lovers, and have a panic attack. Eventually he'd forget all about it and just pretend I never said anything.

I didn't call the cops because I'm honestly afraid of the police more than him at this point. (The police in this town are as stupid as they are accusatory sadly)

It has a weirdly happy ending. Eventually I just lost all patience and gave him the number for a therapist. He actually went, he realized I was afraid of him.

My plan was to finally "Break up with him" for REAL this time after a therapist set him straight.

He broke down in tears realizing that he was never really my boyfriend, at first he called me heartless saying that it wasn't fair that from his perspective I had punished him for seeking out therapy I told him to get.

After he calmed down we hung out for a bit, but.. then we actually stared dating because it turned out that with his meds keeping him stable he's actually a wonderful person that I get along well with and I actually DO love him. My family has even pretty much accepted him as part of the fold with my mother saying that it's like she's gained a son all of a sudden.

We just spent Halloween together and watched Fritz The Cat while high on shrooms and eating candy, being super lovey dovey with each other and talking about the 70's...

Life is strange.

I doubt it happens like this for most people.

Ya know, it kinda makes sense that Hollywood is full of sex criminals when you look at romantic comedies and are always left wondering "And he's not in jail why?"

There's a Christmas movie called Holiday in Handcuffs where a woman abducts a dude to play her boyfriend so her family gets off of her back, and naturally they actually fall in love by the end but also HOLY SHIT HOW IS THAT A THING

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, this one goes both ways. Some women feel like they need to play hard to get, because otherwise they're sluts, and also they want to know that a guy really likes her. It's self defeating of course, on both sides.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It worked for a friend of mine. They were friends, he kept trying to get her to date him and after a year of pestering she caved. They're engaged now.

[–] solsangraal 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

not making any claims about your friend's situation, but i've seen this happen more than once also--pestering, caving, engagement-- and they ended very badly.

getting engaged or even married does not necessarily mean "happy together"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, fair enough for the general case. I do think their situation is a good one though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You just got to wear them down enough, break their willpower. They can learn to love in time.

Can recommend 'pop culture detective' on that one

I watched Reality Bites recently and this was prominently displayed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I watched Reality Bites as a teenager, and I'm convinced it had a negative influence on my life.
The character Ethan Hawke played became my role model, and he's just not a very good one, at all.
