My suite-mate has an obnoxious text ring that sounds like a whistle. That damned thing whistles every few seconds or minutes until about 3:30 AM. That, and he wakes up early every other morning to the sound of loud, godawful rap. I'd tell him to cut it out, but I'm sometimes like this guy:

Also, I have an hour and 56 minutes to do some readings and connect corn subsidies to civil liberties in a one-page paper! Wheeeeee!

Yep. It's pretty ugly. Off to Macdonalds for two large drive through coffees.

Before anyone derides my choice here, please understand I do not, under any circumstance, set foot into the world sans caffeine, so sticking my head out the car window is my best option.

I feel your pain, though I am not as opposed to going in somewhere. I've made trips at 3am to a convenience store before in a white t-shirt, slippers, and beaten to hell shorts for cigs and coffee before.

Oh I care naught for personal presentation when it comes to such matters. My only condition is that I qualify as human, a condition I cannot meet at 6.00am on 5 hours sleep, a pretty bad hangover and no coffee.

The only thing I find more repulsively rude than someone who slurps their food is someone who smacks their lips while they chew, and the group in front of me are doing both.

Manners are the glue of society.

I knew a guy who had a complete set of false teeth, which fitted him very badly indeed. He was also a great talker.

Sitting opposite him as he ate was fascinating. He continued to talk as he did so. And the false teeth bobbed about visibly round the food as he chewed, and talked, with pieces of food spilling out. I swear at one point the teeth turned through 90 degrees.

I hung on his every word. Spell-bound.

Poor table manners have had no special hold over me ever since.

A certain poster is starting to sound like a broken record and I sincerely wish he would channel his concerns about privacy to policymakers who can actually do something about it.

I just spent the past 45 minutes looking at videos of Dos and IBM viruses in action. All because I searched Wikipedia for "ambulance".

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

Doubt she likes me, and don't know how to let her know I like her. Need to act before I get considered "just a friend" permanently; we've been hanging out a fair bit. Though we could definitely be friends if she says no.

One of my friends is going through a similar situation and all I can say is accept the friendzoneing. It is easier for everyone. You can continue to hang out with her, she doesn't feel awkward or guilty, and good for everyone.
The world is a big place, you'll find someone.

No!

No what? What would you advise?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Ask her out to a movie. Don't hype it up either in your mind (you know - omgomgomgomgomg - we've all been there) or when you ask her (don't come across as if it's a huge deal). Make sure you flirt with her for a few days first (it's crucial to flirt, cold call date propositions rarely work) and if she accepts be sure to flirt with her even if she gives off the friendzone vibe.

Of course don't creeper or anything but it's not hard to tell if she becomes uncomfortable and to back off. Just pay attention.

Don't give up without trying, dont lay down and accept the friendzone crap. If you give up you will always womder about what could've been and even a failure will help you hone your apporach to bag the hotties later on.

And then sex her hard.

Situation may be slightly more complicated than you think, but thanks for the advice. I can PM you if you'd like so I don't fill up the thread with trite teenage whining.
