premise of my last relationship was very similar. Just dont let things get awkward, don't be boring, and try not to worry a bout messing things up a lot and you should be good.

I'm actually a great boyfriend, if I do say so myself. The problem is, I'm never in a relationship. So if I get to that point, I don't think it'll be too much of an issue.

She wants to backpack through Europe next year, which is sort of what I wanted to do (I wanted to live in France, but that was to meet women -- something I wouldn't have to do with her.)

Hey, at least she isn't your manager's daughter.

I don't get it.

man

how fucking good is that movie

"I was mountain climbing"

*Landa's sides begin their lunar-synchronous orbit around the earth"

No it isn't.

Well I mean, it is kind of my fault. Regardless of whether or not he's justified to feel that way, I'm the one who caused him to feel that way. But that's pretty pedantic of me so dw about it.

You have no more control of your own feelings than he has his, and you'd be a fool to put your own happiness behind his because of how he feels. If he can't be a mature adult about this then he's not someone you want as a friend.

I just really care about my friends, man. Especially when it comes to romance, because I get it better than most.

At the very most, tell him that you have feelings for the girl and that you're going to go out with her as a courtesy to him. Though, if you reckon he my react belligerently, I'd advise against it in the event he tries to slash your chances with your fancy.

That's what I see happening. Make him the asshole by approaching him and saying no. I get it. Preemptive strike, essentially.

Nigga, honesty is the most important aspect of a healthy relationship right after mutual attraction, and you're not going to get into one by pussyfooting around it.

Any other time, you'd be right. I'm a total pussy when it comes to talking to girls. But it's not like that with her. I can't explain it. I can just... walk up to her, and converse for an hour.

So it's got less to do with "be a man" and more to do with "be graceful and conscientious about people's emotions".

The Hateful Eight is coming out in America on the 8th of January, if you haven't asked her out by then, here's your opportunity if you can't think of anything more original than dinner, a movie and a walk through the park/beach.

Yeah, you read my mind. I hope to have watched at least Reservoir Dogs/Inglorious with her by that point, so she kind of gets what Tarantino is all about. I'm counting down the days to that movie, so yeah, I'm definitely going to ask her to see it.

Maybe talk it over with your friend but don't go into too much detail. Let them know that you maybe might feel something, and if they can't deal with it then at least you know that you should back off a little.

He already suspects I have feelings for her. Luckily, I'm quite the ruseman IRL, so he's off the scent for now. Though once I start hanging out with her more frequently, I reckon he'll be right back on the horse in that regard.

Really, if they start taking it personally even after you've explained then that's quite immature. It's not backstabbing if it's not premeditated and the feeling is mutual.

Well, yeah, it's immature. But he's no paragon of virtue -- he's going to feel the way he feels whether he wants to or not, and that'll be my fault regardless of how this shinding goes down.

Like you two are so alike that it'd be a shame to see it be for not y'know?

Yeah... unfortunately, this whole thing being "for not" would be in-line with my entire life up until this point, ha.

I'm cautiously optimistic about it, though. Which is rare enough for me.

You can do it Snake.

It just goes to show you, that at any time, any place... people can fall in love with each other.

Well groovy, ask her out when you're giving her the mixtape. You can bond over how you wish culture had stagnated after you two were born.

I won't ask her out, but I'll just invite her to my place for some Tarantino and chill or something.

---

FTR, I don't wish culture had stagnated after we were born.

Since I left high school, hardly any.
I can count them on one hand.

Yeah, so you're probably in the same boat I am.

I dunno... realistically, I know they loved each other... but I know my friend. He'll be over her once he doesn't have to see her every day. He's already been with other girls since the break-up...

I've been in love -- I know what it's like. What they had wasn't love. They just think it was.

You'll hate yourself if you do the same.

I already hate myself for doing it... twice. So yeah, I'm not going to fuck this up.

Go for it.

You don't think I should wait a bit longer? At least until our relationship is at the level where we hang out at each others places or something?

I say fucking go for it man.

You don't think I should wait a bit longer? At least until our relationship is at the level where we hang out at each others places or something?

She was pretty much dating him for the same reasons I'm friends with him -- he's a fun dude to hang around.

Why'd they break up?

The main one being that their lifestyles were too different. He's a drinker, smoker, party-er... she's not. She wants to go to University, he wants to start working right after highschool (mechanic). She doesn't want kids, he does.

She still loves him. But she says she's making the decision with her head. She had a lot of fun with him, but basing a relationship off of how much fun you have, while certainly a factor, is kind of stupid if you disagree on so many fundamental levels. You're just setting yourself up for failure like that, and she thinks that's why divorce rates are so high -- because people don't think about this stuff enough while dating and sort of jump into marriage without thinking.

Her words. But she's a girl after my own heart.
