I Enjoy Being a Girl Vol 2! — Page 131

I keep telling my mom about this guy and the other creepers, but she just tells me that it's rude to talk about people behind their backs and that I should show them love and compassion. She says, "If they follow you, it's because they don't have anyone else and they need attention! Welcome them into your circle of friends!" She says unless I'm being physically harmed, ignoring people is selfish. But then what do you expect from a Sunday school teacher who also teaches elementary school band? Haha...

But yeah, it makes me get a bit disillusioned with life when I'm surrounded by annoying people. It's like being the ringmaster of some kind of freak show all the time. I should at least get a cool ringmaster jacket and top hat for my troubles, you know?

Ah, Schmerg. I know how you feel. I had 2 girls stalk me like that and it's very creepy. The best thing to do is to make it very clear to this boy that you feel very uncomfortable with the way he follows you around and clings to you. You don't have to word it in a mean way, but you should just make it very clear to him that you feel like he is not respecting your boundaries.

In my case, I had a girl in my orchestra class who desperately wanted a boyfriend. She asked out pretty much every guy with a pulse. Everyone from the hot quarterback to the geeky computer nerd. All of them would reject her. She would obsess over them for another week or so and they would rudely tell her to buzz off. Well...I was one of the only remaining guys that she had left to ask out, so she finally asked me out. I politely told her that I wasn't interested, and she demanded to know why. It made me feel SOOOOOOOOOO awkward on SOOOOOOOOOOO many levels. Whenever ANY girl asks me out.. I feel SOOOOOO awkward, but when I am asked for an in depth explanation, it makes me feel even more awkward. I sort of gave her BS answers like "I'm not interested in being in a relationship" or "I don't have to for a girlfriend".

Soon after, she somehow found my phone number (don't ask me how...to this day, I still don't know) and she would text me NONSTOP and follow me ALL over school. I tried being nice... but I eventually cracked. I told her the truth. I said something along the lines of "[Her name], I really don't feel comfortable with this. I don't mean to hurt you in any way, but the way you follow me and constantly text me makes me feel awkward. We don't have to be enemies, but I don't think the relationship you have with me is very healthy". To my surprise, she reacted very well and respected my boundaries. We're not great friends, but we're not enemies. Just don't feel badly about being straightforward, Schmerg.

Or course, if things get really out of hand... you can always tell him that I am your long distance boyfriend.

Hahaha, Jazzy! But, as brilliant as that is... I don't think this guy would pick up on any of that. If I said, "Yeah, I have a boyfriend who lives in Atlantis and carries a big trident that can stab you in the head," he'd say, "Cool, wow, great, you have a boyfriend! Well, I can still follow you, right? No harm there, right?" Like, that's how he actually talks. But maybe if I showed the picture of you impersonating Terrence Mann and explain that we'd been married for three years, he'd decide I was mentally unstable and leave me alone.

But Jazzy-- your story about that girl really hits close to home, because I know a girl just like that who is really desperate for a boyfriend and every single guy she pursues rejects her and it just crushes her... and of course, every girl gets a crush on a gay dude from time to time, but it's sad when someone SERIALLY picks guys who never have a chance of liking them back.

Kels, that sounds like the best party ever, haha. I once went to one that ended with an ostensibly straight dude "playing" our gay friend like a guitar. It's hard to describe how he played air guitar on this guy's torso, but suffice it to say it was pretty hilarious.

Ooh, withoutlove..that party sounds exciting. The parties I go to aren't that exciting. The craziest party I've been to was last year. It was a bunch of kids throwing paper plates into a bonfire and playing "Honey I Love You". That just goes to show you what a wild party animal I am (Lei947 is promising to rid me of my wild party virginity when I'm 21, though...). I did go to an exciting party last weekend. We played Quiditch (you can fly if you just believe!) and beat the crap out of a Miley Cyrus pinita! Good times.

Lol, Schmerg. That made me giggle. The second girl that asked me out that year was QUITE a piece of work! She would text me and ask me about my turn ons and vaguely ask if she possessed any of them. As soon as she started doing that, I knew I would be asked out within 48 hours. Instead of lying my butt off or completely ignoring her, I would say things like "Well I'll tell you some of my turn offs... LOW CUT SHIRTS! How disgusting is it when a girl leans over to talk to you and you can see down her entire shirt". I figured that would drop a hint... but no. She was committed. The next morning I had 50,000 voice mails of her asking me out and how I better act now because some hot guy is going to beat me to her! Of course, I kindly rejected her. I thought I was in the clear...but she was back in action last week and asked me out again (through FaceBook this time). Like an idiot...I politely rejected and then told her that I was about to leave to go meet a friend at starbucks! Guess who magically appeared at that starbucks! Not just her, but the girl from my previous post, too (that was a pure coincidence). The best part is... SHE'S STILL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!

I actually had the Granny Smith... I want to try the raspberry though.

Jazzy, that girl sounds really terrifying! Yikes!

But hey, speaking as a girl, I have to tell you-- some people (like me) just naturally have bodies that make pretty much every article of clothing look low-cut. And t-shirts and blouses that button up all the way are really not flattering to chestier gals because they just make us look top-heavy.

I am more upset about the lack of Broadway secrets updates than I thought possible, since I mostly just sneer at that sight. But it's part of my Friday afternoon routine!

Welcome to the tread!
I was going to post a picture of a nice welcome mat for you, but then I found this one.... I think I will be getting this for my dad for xmas

Hi, frapperia! And no, you aren't at all silly for discussing the attractiveness of anyone in a show. Scroll back through the thread and look at all of our ridiculous discussions about celebrity men!

jag, what are you talking about? We have NEVER discussed the looks of a guy we saw in a show

.


..or a film







..or TV show




Really,we only discuss the talent of these fine gentlemen....The hot, hot talent.

Or on MTV or VH1

---

Are you watching Vampire Diaries? These guys are realllllly talented.

Don't forget about the talent on Broadway, clever name!





(I think holding dogs makes you look more 'talented').

---

I'll join in!





Yum.
