Random Rants VII: Why do they ALWAYS do that?!

[Taras Bulba]

Even though there's three other flutists in my ward, somehow I managed to be recruited because someone told the choir director I was really good. I wasn't even aware anyone knew I could play. It must've been the girl in my theory class.

I guess it's not a horrible thing.
I don't mind playing flute, but singing the pieces inbetween that don't have a flute part; yes I do mind that just a tad bit seeing as I'm not exactly a singer.

trust me... that comes as no surprise

I played the Saxaphone like 4 years ago... I haven't really touched it since.... and still, someone managed to ask me (earlier this year, perhaps may or march?) if I would play it for some musical number....

So... I start talking to my good lady friend again as usual on IM. All was going well, exchanging trivialities and niceities as friends do. I shall say that the conversation moved onto my next visit with her tommorow, which will be at school. She wasn't particularly looking forward to it, so I said she can look forward to seeing me! Feeling I had unleashed my charm once again, I unfortunately recieved a rather unwelcome reply. She started to explain how we are just friends (which we are... but I would like to be more if you know what I mean... but I haven't told her my intentions yet.) and she started saying why should she be so happy to see me... I thought she was joking at first, but then she seemed to get quite saddened by the fact I jokingly said "love you." She was still friends with me, of course, but I certainly wasn't expecting such a conversation.

Is this a simple, feminine way of saying piss off?

Saying "piss off" wouldn't be very ladylike. Maybe more like "back off"?

Back off? But I haven't done anything worthy of being told to back off.

1) That rather seems like a "Questions-that-aren't-worth-" thing.

2) Who knows for sure. I'd say 'sounds like it', but I don't know either of you.

I'd recommend doing your flirting in some way that does not involve instant messages.

Not back off in the sense of "get away from me", but back off in the sense that "I'm not into you that way, cut it out, bub."

Salty isn't very good with that.

This would probably be a good idea as well. She wouldn't know you were joking with the whole "i love you" thing unless you used a liberal amount of smileys.

And even then she might take it the wrong way.

Rant: I made a stupid decision and now I paid for it. Guess I'm single now.

It wasn't flirting... just normal talk.

Sad face.

Very sad face.

Really, don't worry about it. You'll get rejected a lot and you'll see SEVERAL different reactions from girls and then the next minute they're completely different. You should have probably did that move in a different way, you must not have worded it correctly.

Well you didn't exactly take the best pictures together.

Really salty. You're back each week or so with some new girl victory or trouble like clockwork, and this will surely be a forgotten event in a very short time. Just keep at it, buddy.

It is probably naive of me to think I have a chance with this girl. I like to think I have a chance just to keep me happy... but I suppose friendship will have to suffice.

I hope that doesn't sound too 'harsh...' I love being friends with her...

I just want more.

Silly me.

It's all the same girl, fool!

EDIT: Same girl? Ah whatev same message still applies.

Aww... That's nice...

That totally wasn't our fault
Anyways, I'm not sure if I should put the full story here, because chances are all that will happen is a bunch of insults thrown in my direction and the people who actually give a good response ignored.

No harm in wanting more, a lot of guys want that with girls who are their friends. You just have to learn that you'll have to do with friendship, and accept the fact as well. In a way, if you show to her that you can stay and be happy with just friends and always be there for her, she'll know she can trust you and that you'll always be there for her. But what happens a lot is that guys do this, but when the girl goes to cry on their shoulder the guys pushes them back. Don't make that mistake.

Also, if you do get hooked up with a girl for a while, and the thought of breaking up comes into your mind, take a good long nap about it, think, and be sure. What a horrible mistake that can be...

When has that ever happened?

Seriously, don't we all try to help each other out?

RANT: People have lost faith in the rants thread.

Not me. This is my first port of call, with whatever problem, predicament or confusion I have. And I'm sure you are perfectly aware of that small fact.

Okay, here goes then.

Two nights ago, I have an impulsive reaction, no clue why, probably pressure from high school building up, and I had removed everything involving my girlfriend from Facebook and MSN and told everyone that it was over and told them the reasoning I had (We lived too far away, we'd be happier just as close friends, restrictions, etc), and then suddenly I actually got thinking and the feeling had started to sink in. I hadn't even talked to her about it, and I went to bed and thought about it. When I woke up the morning after, I tried to revert everything back and tell everyone I changed my mind, but turns out one of her friends had literally text messaged her and said, "Davy's breaking up with you for another girl." So I had called Tiffany in the afternoon, because I couldn't wait until the night, and she told me not to waste my breath because her friend had already told her, but I corrected that and told the same reason, and she said she'd call back later at 7, so that she could think. So, I waited. 7 o'clock comes, the conversation goes no where until around 7:45 and she starts crying, and then she broke up with me in the last few minutes. Turns out she broke up with me for the REASONS I said as my reasons for the one night. We're still staying friends and all, but my god I made the worst mistake of my life...
