The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Woah, woah woah...we are just razzin you, man. Chill. It was a JOKE.

Besides, I still think you can do it. But understand, if you give us updates, we are going to try and alternately encourage you or stare at you dumbfounded, and say "Why didn't you?" I'm sure there are several folks here who've expereinced that pressure, me included. But, I think you can do it...

Aeson, in all seriousness, I razz you 'cause I care about you. I've been in your situation before, I let her get away, and I don't want to see the same thing happen to you. At least take a shot. Carpe Diem and all that.

Now, consider yourself lucky that I have an appointment, or I'd stay here all afternoon and let you have it.

QFT. Same here. I lost two to indecision and lack of action on my part. And I'm STILL kicking myself to this day. Even getting a NO is better than wondering stewing in the what ifs. Trust me. And you might end up with at least a friend who's easy on the eyes.

And now, I too need to go to lunch...

I understand. Rel has shared his opinion on this enough. He has some good advice but it doesn't always work for everyone.

I post the updates because I could use the encouragement. I guess if I get kicked in the head enough times I'll just do it.

Here's the thing. This is the first time I'm doing anything like this. In the past it's always been fix ups or online hook ups. I never went through the normal high school rituals. I feel like I'm 14 and I'm trying to ask the girl in the desk next time to go to a movie. There is a lot of pressure on me.

Add on top of it she has a "kinda boyfriend". When I asked about him her face lit up and she had a huge grin on her face. I'm not sure what to read there. She often has a grin on her face. I think I waited too long to talk to her and someone else came in and filled the spot.

I've had two of those myself. Laura and Crystal. Funny thing. Her name is Crystal and just like the other one is former Army. To me that seemed like a sign. All I need is to find out she is a fantasy freak and a gamer. That would make her an even better looking version.

I understand. There is no hard feelings.

Ah, understood. But kinda yes, means kinda no. So, prepare your best hipcheck!

Because, if you don't, the hive will likely devolve into ever increasing-font sized messages to "Do It! Do It! Do It!" until Galeros break it with random alphanumerics.

Besides, keep in mind, you could just ask her out for coffee, or lunch, or something just to get to know her. At which point you'd have a better atmosphere to gauge what's up.

And if you did miss, there are other opportunities, just don't pass the next one too. We'd probably have to ask Goldmoon to give you a Boot to the Head. Though, you might enjoy that too much.

Easy. Keep a fantasy novel on your desk or counter...see what happens...

Bah! I've just had an unhappy love affair*. And if I can't be happy, I don't why anyone else should be allowed to have a good time either!

So instead I shall just broadcast uninspirational messages.

DOOM!

Or. . . you know, good luck. Hope things work out, etc.
