 OK! Lesson learned: When asking a girl out SPECIFICALLY say these words ~ I would like to take you out for an evening of socializing and such so that we may further our relationship more than just friends because I have feelings of affection for you. More than just friends. Therefore reiterating how I feel for you. This also implies that it will be just me and you. That means it is a social function between 2 people. In this case, 1 male (that's me) and 1 female (that's you). This does NOT mean bring more than what I have just said.
There's no way they can misinterpret that!
Wanna bet?
That could turn into " Your trying to keep me away from my friends..you fething control freak!!" so fast, it might make your head spin. 
Not saying that's "common" of "all" women...but hey,it has happened.

I swear, my life. Took until the fourth time where I broke it down to this simple question:
"You. Me. Date. Up for it?"
Then she finally realized. Good god. Of course, by then, she had planted me firmly in the friend zone.

Yeah but I guess this was her train of thought:
"Yeah we should hang out, and by hang out I mean tell you to meet me somewhere along with 5 other people where I will say one thing to you and that's it. Then you could just stand around and listen to a conversation I'll have with another person."
Yeah... hanging out... fun.
Hard enough going home to my family and not being to fit into their conversations because I have seen them in forever, I have nothing to say that would relate to anything they are talking about. So, even harder when talking to someone you have only known for a couple years and haven't seen them in a while.

 Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them. |

Hahaha.
I don't know about y'all, but hanging out to me implies a sense of togetherness. As in we are doing something together, not me listening to you carry on a stupid conversation with your other friends about your guy troubles. "Ugh, why can't I just find a guy who won't give me any drama?" Well sweetheart he's sitting right next to you, but now's he getting up to go smoke a cigarette... and now he's leaving!
Waste of my fething time!

"Hanging out" is a term I use for going with friends. Not a romantic date.

When I asked her out that time the words "hang" and "out" never came out of my mouth. Ok, well I said "out" but it was in conjunction with "go" as in "going out" as in "a date".
But even when we "hang out" it means "ignore him and talk to other friends" when she was the one who invited me...

I hate that XD. I specifically ask someone on a date and they bring all of their friends. Then I take them aside and say "What the Gak? I thought you and I were going to be on you know a date.. Alone... Without an audience. Sorry girl, but I don't care where you are from, that was more planner than the sky above."

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

I finally work up the courage to ask someone out, Friday comes around, and we have a nice night. At the end she tells me "I have to feed my cat". I'm not the most social person, but come on, I'm not a fething idiot. We're still friends, and of course now I know that she doesn't even have a cat. And this is from one of the most straight forward and honest girls I know!

Damn it..I started laughing at the "I have to feed my cat" line for that exact same reason,and started to post something along the lines of "well...she could have been asking you to come inside."...but figured that would be way to juvenile a comment to make....boy do I feel silly now.

Because women are good looking?
Ok, here's a question: when did merely asking a girl out become such a heinous act that said girl complains to her parents to make them switch their habits up, to the point of avoiding any and all areas that I would even be remotely "known" to go to?

And when she refused, she started insulting me on facebook, calling me a creep, a demon, all sorts of things, and when I defended myself, she posted up this one message that made absolutely no sense, then deleted it and then started insulting me again....

Aye, that I seem to. It's a shame, because she was rather beautiful.
Another thing came up, though: why do people (of both sexes) seem to think that if your a chick, and you marry a dude, you can't talk to other dudes anymore? A friend of mine is getting married, and me and her talk fairly often. I tell her about DCUO, a pretty fun game we could play together, and her response?
"I don't think my fiance would like me to play games with you...."
When I pressed her on what SHE would "like" to do, she completely changed the reasoning and denied that she made that Text in the first place, DESPITE me having the copy on my phone.....

should have just said this back on this post, but: If you mean me and her, no, I would not think of myself as abusive, I just talk to her, ask her how things are going, whats up at college, you know, stuff like that. The only time she has ever been crying while talking to me was when I was arguing with a mutual friend (who introduced us at a party where much fun followed), because he was acting like a total ass to her.
As for Her and Him, I don't know, she seems pretty happy with him, from what I have heard. As for how good my opinion is.....
