Oh no, not another relationship thread

Wow, just discovered this thread.

I weep for the future.

 

GOOD GOD, YOU'RE GIVING US ALL A BAD FUCKIN' NAME!

Call her, tell her you should've called sooner and to make it up you wanna take her to whatever kick-ass, expensive restraunt-type place you have in your college town. Do it. Pronto.










Then bang her in the back seat of your Ford Tempo. stoob-style, if you so choose.

 

And don't go out with her friends hanging around again either -- unless of course a hot tub is involved.

 

Call her...especially if her number is 867-5309. Then report back to us.

 

Wow, CR, your "female friends" are practically derailing your love life. Fuck them. Go with everyone else's advice.

 

I went over to the Phi Sig house after work last night (it isn't literally a sorority house but my best friend and four of her sisters live in it), thinking we'd get a chance to talk and then I'd make the call.

I get there, she and her sisters are taking shots with a few of my brothers. I didn't feel like drinking or even hanging out anymore. I'm about to get up to leave when another LCA walks in the front door, followed by, of all people, her.

It's not like I got jealous because this dude is really good friends with her and has never been anything more, but it was really awkward when everyone in the living room immediately turned their eyes to me when she walked in.

They hung out for a while and then left. We were on opposite sides of the room and didn't get a chance to talk, half due to me acting like a vagine and half due to the group setting. We locked eyes and smiled a lot, and she laughed at a few jokes I made, but that was it. I left feeling like a bitch and decided to go for a 6-mile run at 2 a.m. to clear my head.

A few sorority girls who have been in her exact position before told me texting is preferable, with Facebook next and then a real phone call (unsettling sign of the times for most SJs who just read that sentence, I'm sure).

I texted her at 12:30 this afternoon. Her status about wishing her phone was working was up at 7 p.m. yesterday and she was on at noon today but didn't change the status.

Unfortunately, if it's still broken, she may never have gotten the text, but that would also foil a phone call/voicemail. If it's not still broken, she has the out she needs.

So, tear me a new one because I'm out of ideas.

 

Banging...head...against....wall....

 

CR, I give up. And I had been hoping it'd work out for you.

You will regret this one for a long time coming.

 

Jesus Christ. Sure seems like I either got cockblocked by a malfunctioning electronic device or she's not interested...

What did I do wrong, given the circumstances?

 

You relied on advice from sorority broads, instead of just following your damn gut.

 

If a text doesn't work, neither does a phone call or a voicemail.

Or are you talking about something else?

 

CR.... you are not out of ideas. Ignore the advice of those there and follow the advise of your SportsJournalists.com brothers & sisters -- CALL HER. The hell with text messages, the hell with Facebook, just call. Worst case you get to leave her a voicemail. The longer you put off talking to her, the longer her sorority sisters can make you the butt of jokes saying you hooked up with her but didn't have the nerve to call her or talk to her despite hanging around the house.

If you really had a sack you'd just stop by the house during the day and ask if she's there and if she is, ask if she wants to go out to lunch (or dinner) sometime.

All this technology is the downfall of our society. People don't know how to just get up the nerve and talk to someone they like anymore -- it has to be a text message or whatever kind of messaging Facebook uses (e-mails, PMs, etc.) -- instead of a simple voice conversation or better yet, in-person eye-to-eye contact.
