(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 516

yeah, i just have no idea how to do it. do i type out "hey, missed you at tonight's social, how've you been?" or just "Hey Ashley, how are you?" or what. do i type a long first message to explain why im messaging randomly or keep it short at first or what. so many options which one is right, Ian?

 

go with the first option

 

You're asking the wrong guy I overanalyze everything

 

"Sorry that I didn't make it to the social. I was volunteering at the animal shelter. How was it? Please tell me that it was amazing."

 

same so this is not good. too many options. too many opportunities to look like a doofus

 

Lol don't read my post.

 

Just send that with nothing else. That should do the trick

 

She'd be so confused

 

Can you please buy more. This legacy is incredible

 

MESSAGE. HER.

 

heck no because they are $15 a bag and I only got them on sale for $5. They were expensive. I'll have to start a new food legacy.

 

I GET THAT, JAMES.


MESSAGE HER WHAT THO IS THE QUESTION?

 

"Wanna go on a date to buy gummy bears?"

 

gummy bears, like fries, are food that I buy for just me and don't share. i have a strict no sharing policy on foods like that.

 

WAIT.

Pause.

Hold On.

Is all this third party said was, "she said you should message her", or is there more to the conversation?

If it was just that for a conversation then simply send a message like, "hey so-and-so gave me the heads up to message you. what's going on?"

If there's more to the conversation like, "hey Dylan, this girl probably sorta likes you and told me to tell you to get in touch because she couldn't be here tonight" then say, "hey so-and-so gave me the heads up to message you. what's going on?"

STOP OVERTHINKING.

For all you know this girl could be asking if you're single because maybe there's a prowler in your neighborhood striking late at night when couples would normally be together and this prowler looks suspiciously like you and she wants to collect the award for nabbing the perp. you never know.

so just... message her "hey so-and-so gave me the heads up to message you. what's going on?" and see what happens.

 

messing up big time

 

i'd rather die alone with my own gummy bears than be in a fulfilling relationship and have to share

 

I'll venmo you

 

He's onto something.

My coworker was telling me how she got off work the other day and bought gummy bears....I feel like this phenomenon is bigger than I thought

 

no no the gummy bears will come back in time.

 

The conversation the best that I can remember it after being three Tank 7's deep:
I was coming out of the bathroom the same time our new co-chair was. She smiled at me and said:
"Hey I need to talk to you in private."
"Oh, uh...okay, what's up?"
"Are you seeing anyone? Are you single? I mean like are you dating?"
"Oh yeah, I'm what you'd call super single. I'm, as the kids would say, 'hella' single."
"Okay good, well I have a friend who was asking me about you. She was at the last social and she was supposed to come tonight but I guess she won't be able to make it."
"What? No. Really? Who? No. Why?"
"Haha. Her name is Ashley. Her and I are really good friends. She showed up later in the evening at the last social. I think you added her on Facebook."
"Ashley B-----??"
"Yeah! She thinks you were cute and was asking me about you. She is a little social--"
"Socially awkward? Yeah she was trying to join mine and Eric and Eric's friends conversation later that night after you and Greg and everyone else had pretty much left and she came up and said she feels more comfortable talking in smaller groups because she has social anxiety."
"Oh yeah"
"Yeah, and I felt so bad because like as soon as she came up to join our group and had said all that I was like 'welp, I gotta go, bye!' and I meant to message her saying sorry for leaving so soon without getting to talk to her but I just never did because I figured that'd be weird."
"You should definitely message her then."
"Alright, I will. Wow, thanks for the uh....heads up? Tip? I don't know, whatever, thanks for letting me know, Megan!"

And then about 30 minutes later I messaged Megan



And then she sent me screenshots of their conversation



And then she had to clarify their conversation




And that's when I got on to the most trusted source of relationship advice in my life, Chorus dot ef em

 

THE GUMMY BEARS DONT LIE. THEY ARE SWEET AND FULL OF LOVE AND MAKE FOR PERFECT TREATS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LOVE EACH OTHER.

 

I almost bought a bag of boysenberry gummy bears yesterday. But then I didnt. I have some pineapple ones tho so I guess I'm not 4ever alone

 

People itt going on multiple dates with different people is crazy to me haha. Even when I was single and looking I was lucky to find 1 date
