When I was in high school, a girl called me at home and this dumb conversation happened.

Her: So, this girl I know likes this guy I know, but he doesn’t seem to get any of her hints. What should she do to tell him she likes him?

Me: uh, I dunno, just tell him she likes him?

Her: …like, “I like you?” Just like that?

Me: yeah

Her: I like you.

Me: yeah, you got it, just tell her to tell him that and she’ll be all set.

Her: …

Me: …was there anything else

—— The first girlfriend I had (not her) pulled me aside angrily in the hallway between classes and said something like “listen, I’ve been hitting on you for two weeks now and everyone else things we get along like gangbusters, I’m going insane; do you wanna go out with me or not?” —— Anyways, I learned a few years ago I’m on the spectrum and it really helped give a lot of context for me and my dumbass.

remarkably similar experience.

a girl in 9th grade sat next to me in half my classes. after a semester passed, she leaned over one day and said “I have a crush on someone in this class SO MUCH.” I proceeded to guess every other guy in the classroom, and she’d go “nooo…” and then said “Oh well Janey? Oh Rebecca?” and she got upset and class got going and I forgot.

She wrote in my yearbook “We could have had a lot of fun but you’re a sweet guy!”

and she was freaking hot.

Two years later my first actual girlfriend basically sat next to me at every lunch for a month, then some dance was approaching and she told me “Look here’s my address, pick me up at 7 ok?” And kissed me on the lips.

Ho lee shiiiit.

Oh and I was fuckin ugly too, I didn’t hit my growth spurt until 17, was far more interested in computers than anything else, big nose, dumbo ears, greasy, etc., so people, even if you’re completely clueless, be nice and bathe regularly, it might happen to you!

If it weren’t for pre-shitty OKCupid I’d probably not be married rn

Lol, same. It’s a damn shame they went the route of evil. I was just reminiscing recently with my spouse about the quizzes on there.

This is how I got married.

Well… First I panicked, then we got drunk, then 3 years later we got married. That was >20 years ago. Been going ok since.

(Apparently there were at least 3 others that were jealous she “won”… Lol I had no idea. I’m just the weirdo that treated women like fellow humans/friends and not objects.)
