He burps reaaaaally loudly sometimes. He forgot to bathe for a week once. He works on cars sometimes, and breaks them just as often.. He has never read poetry, and he has no idea what an integer is. He once ate a slug on a bet (the guy didn't pay up) and then threw it up in his mother's kitchen sink. He cleaned his ears once. He has no aspirations in life, no hopes, no dreams, and no chance to change it now.
And yet--she's dating him instead of me.

That's kind of depressing. Please tell me he's not real. Then again, I know a guy like him. My sister married him.
ReplyDeleteTry visiting my blog again. I DID have it open to all viewers before, and I tried restricting the viewers and setting it back to all viewers again. After signing out, I could still visit my blog, and I know for a fact that several people who don't have blogs follow mine, so... yeah, try it again. ramblingrose89.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteJust don't read too carefully.
Okays, ta da. Thx.
ReplyDeleteNo, this isn't a real guy that I know. Well, it was . . . but not anymore. The point is, I see all of these chicks dating dudes who are just uncultured pigs. I realize that it happens because THOSE are the guys who actually ASK people out. The good ones are too shy. I'm actually almost in another situation like that . . . so I'm working up the courage to ask the girl out. I'm afraid that it will end poorly, though.
Why are the good ones always shy, anyway? Are they good because they are hyper-self-critical? If you know the girl well enough, you should ask her. If you don't, you might get stuck writing posts like this one that just make everybody sad. Oh yes, and don't give up if she says no, because my brother-in-law didn't, and after a while, everything worked out for him.
ReplyDeleteOkay, honestly, he's not that bad. Probably.
Is it worse if it ends poorly or not at all?
How well is well enough? Really?
ReplyDeleteUgh. It seems that being depressing runs in the family.
OH by the way, yes, the reason why they're shy is because they're good. The guys who realize that everything is transitive and impermanent are both unlikely to ask and at the same time likely to make good boyfriends.
Ugh. I need to find a good time to ask her out.
Good question. How about, "Well enough to be comfortable in her presence for more than five minutes."
ReplyDeleteYep, it does tend to run in families, like mine. Maybe everyone's.
Why would realizing that everything is transitive/impermanent make you unlikely to ask a girl out?
I'd think it would make you ask her out sooner, because the window of opportunity fits into the category of "everything." Also, such an attitude seems to me as though it would make for a boyfriend who didn't bother to try.
Just do it.
Like I said, right now, she's dating the other guy.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like it's killing me, but it's still frustrating, you know?
And the fact that everything is transitive/impermanent/mutable means that your relationship will end. Badly, probably. And if you really do like her, why would you risk it? WHY?
Well, I'm glad it's not killing you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, upon reflection, I think you're right. The people who think it's better to have loved and lost rather than love at all have never loved.
I found a picture of a skull once, bedded in flowers and hearts. In beautiful script, it said something that made me laugh (because it's true, and I didn't want to cry):
Love kills slowly.
