So a man walks into a bar...

I've noticed that using terms of endearment on complete strangers is a southern/regional thing.

Where I used to live in PA (NJ border), if a clerk used terms of endearment when addressing customers, they were at least 80 years old.

Down here in Shitfuckistan, Kentucky, virtually everyone refers to strangers with terms of endearment. Honey, sweetie, love, etc.

It's one of the many things about southern culture that drives me closer and closer to insanity

Cool, another Kentuckian. I ain't never heard of Shitfuckistan before...is that near Paris?

Anyway, might as well post something. There's this friend of mine that I have feelings for. I've been wanting to tell her how I feel for some time now, but have been unable to because I don't want to make our friendship weird. Recently, a friend of hers told me that she said she likes me back. Even with this knowledge, I can't seem to bring myself to telling her how I feel. It's kinda pissing me off a bit. I'm not sure why I can't do it, but I just can't. The only reason I can think of is that she's not allowed to date until she's 18, and maybe deep down I'm not sure if I'm willing to wait 2 years. I feel like I can wait, but for some reason, that's one of the only thoughts keeping me from telling her. I also kinda feel like she's a bit out of my league and that I don't deserve her (small self esteem issues that I can't seem to get over) because she's really nice and stuff and I'm kinda...not.

"Ouch" he says.

COMEDY
Edit: This is why I should quote people

[TerraChimaera]

Oh no double post

CONFIRMED: He is younger than I than I thought (looking at him again, he doesn't actually look that old. I guess I just forgot what he looked like); he says he's been getting letters from colleges.
There, now it's less creepy, I guess.

[[Insert Fail]]

Means he's around 17-18, which is still bordering on illegal territory.

I have broken off friendships with people who tried to pursue me on the internet after only knowing them for a handful of days, and it was always for the better. A fair number of people are just lonely and looking for some form of comfort and company and are willing to throw around the word "love" if it'll get them someone's attention. And some of them think, "Hey, it's the internet, it's not serious, right? Who will care?" while completely disregarding the living human being on the other end of their screen. I've seen it happen to way too many people who didn't take necessary precautions.

I feel like you're just digging yourself deeper into a hole and you're too young and blind to know where it's going, but maybe you have to learn these lessons the hard way - most everyone does.

So I just checked the Facebook profile of guy I used to like, and I thought I was over him, but I started to just cry.
Every time I thought about him recently, I stayed strong and didn't care, but for some reason this just got to me.

Ugh.
I just want to be over him.

[musicandilikeit]

Why are all these beautiful women start flirting with me the second I get a girl, but were never there during the year and a half of my loneliness?

[The Willow Witch]

Because your loneliness was a farce, and women aren't attracted to that.

[Reyo]

For the exact same reason women have started giving ME attention. I stopped giving a shit and started acting more like a cocky dick (essentially the same thing that happens with you get a girlfriend).

Apparently this is called "confidence" to those observing from the outside.

[musicandilikeit]

WRONG!
I am probably the most arrogant cocky dick I know and I still didn't get any attention. Perhaps now that I have Girlfriend I have become more humble and humiliationized.
