I recently saw GBK's level ode to susane...and reading the description I began to cry. I know how he feels/felt. I've got the same problem. I found the perfect girl, but unfortionatly she was looking for the perfect guy. Her name is Kathleen. She has the face of an angel, she's smart, funny, nice... That's unusual, since pretty girls aren't smart, and they're certaintly not nice, at least not to me. And she's not pretty. She's beautiful. She...glows. That's the only way to explain it. She's a modest christian girl, yet she's dark and mysterious. I could go on for hours. She's the closest thing to perfect, and her petty faults make her even more adorable. We've been friends for a while. She's been there for me through the good and the bad. The really bad. Like when I was cutting myself and thinking about suicide. I love her with my heart and soul. I told her and wrote a very long cencere love letter to her. And she kindly told me that she feels differently towards me. I realize that I should give up, but I've decided not to. I'm an expert strategist. A good strategist seizes an opportunity. An expert makes his own. I will do that. As said in the matrix, "Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth fighting for?" She's changed my life, and I refuse to let her go without a fight. Without a battle. Without a bloody war. I don't stand much of a chance at all. But I've come back from losing many times before. Fights, swordfights, sports, games in Empire Earth .Anyways...I will not stop intil I have succeeded in winning her heart. It must be conquered. As they used to say, "I'll come back with my shield, or I'll come back on it." Yeah I just had nothing better to do with the last few moments and this is like free theropy. Any reactions?

If you try too hard you'll scare her away and ruin a perfectly good friendship. Actually, it is hard to be friends with someone whom you are infatuated with, so it maybe be troublesome just to like her. No amount of "strategy" is going to make her want a serious relationship, so just stay friends. If she ever begins to fancy you, you'll know. Your better off playing the field instead of setting your sights on an elusive target. You could wait weeks, months, possibly even years without any luck; don't put the blinders on.

wow the whole strategy thing seems really cheesy. The trouble is that it isn't just a stupid crush that I can just throw off. I've never felt so deeply towards someone before. It's a peeve and a passion at the same time. Cheers

Maybe its just the 'in the eye of the beholder' thing there, because i really like a girl, and i find her pretty, funny, and i know she's smart, since she's getting As and Bs in all honors classes. But then again, maybe that's jsut because she is pretty and funny .

I know what you said, but trying to move on is the best thing you can do. You've told her how you feel, she doesn't feel the same. There is no strategy that can make someone see you in a different light (or at least in the way you want).

You took the hard road in telling her how you feel, now you have to continue taking the hard road.

Make a JK level devoted to her. That's sure to work.

UP, your rambling rant sounds like something I would have written 5 years ago. In fact, I can seriously say, I know exactly how you feel.

The truth is, I made OTS in a mad fit of depression. In retrospect, it was a stupid thing to do...It did nothing to ease my pain, and it has caused me unending ridicule on these boards. While Suzanne was indeed everything I spoke of her, I never had a snowball's chance in hell of getting anywhere near her. In the end, I simply had to move on. Im glad I did. The few years (yes, years) I spent harboring those feelings were some of the worst of my life. I rue the day I ever laid eyes on her. She doesnt know it, but she *really* screwed me up, and it was all my fault.

OTS was my pathetic attempt to make something worthy of her. Yeah, I knew it was stupid, and that she would never know (Thank God!), but I felt it needed to be done. Looking back, I wish I hadnt made it...without it, it would be simpler to forget her.


...Anyway. You are making one pivotal mistake; your assuming love is something its not. Love is not a war, its just a game. There are winners and there are losers. There are players. And theres the poor shmucks like you and me that have no idea what we are doing.
If this girl doesnt respond positively to your advances - regardless of how perfect she may be - move on. I know how difficult that is, trust me, but you HAVE to do it. Dont spend years chasing this girl when all you will catch is a broken heart.

Im not going to feed you the 'fishes in the sea' line, because I have no idea how many babes there are in your town..I do know, however, theres bound to be more than one. Find someone else.


And for the love of kak, dont tell girls you love them. Thats one sure-fire way of killing any chances youve got.

Yes you really do have to move on. I'm in a similar situation atm, apart from the girl i like already is going out with someone, and she doesn't know i really really really like her. As soon as i find out if she has any feelings for me or not, i'll definitely be trying to move on (assuming she doesn't like me)

Its tough, but you have to move on, assuming that there is a chance when she has already told you there isn't is the worth thing you can do :/

It sucks

If she's the one who got you out of the dark place in your life, I'd suggest feeling completely secure in yourself (if not already) before going any further. One of the worst things that could happen here is to have her completely reject you and you fall back into that dark place. Make sure you feel secure in who you are, and then if you are going to attempt something, try it.

I'm sorry to hear about the girl, but this is the funniest thread... ever.

GBK "Really, you'll love it!"

Girl "It's on the computer?"

GBK "Yeah, this thing called jedi kni..."

Two Hours Later

GBK "I'm not going tell you again, Bubbuh. Stay on your side of the cell... I am NOT your boyfriend."

Ultimate Potato, it's because of your entire attitude about this girl that you will never get with her.

Is Wayne Brady going to have to choke a *****?

I reread the thread and... yeah, you seriously need to move on. She told you no. Don't become an obsessive teen and keep swooning over her like a ****ing child. 4th graders write "love letters" because they don't have the balls to tell a girl what they really feel. And, when she tells you no, a real man respects that, and cherishes what he has with her already.

Not to mention, she's not the perfect thing for you. She may have everything, but she's missing one thing: The same feelings. So, obviously, you need to realize it just... doesn't work.

And lastly:

u got no mak gaem.

Wow I must sound very pathetic right now. I told her out of desperation. Right now I am secure with myself. There were reasons for the dark times... Ha I'm a dork. I'm not going to bother persuing her, it would be a waste of time I could be doing something worthwhile with my life. I'm just gonna stop typing now...
