The Post Your Thoughts of the Moment Thread 2

[InsigTurtle]

I mentioned Fourier analysis in passing in my music essay, and I realized that Fourier transforms and series are pretty goddamn interesting. And then that led to complex exponentiation. Which led to trigonometry. And there's just a strange feeling when you learn all how all those are intertwined, how just a single note on a piano can lead you down a rabbit hole of mathematics.

Which would be cool, except for the fact that I need to finish this essay tomorrow, and I gotta start studying for AP chem since that's on Monday. Whoops.

I can't help but stare at this biscuit on my plate that says "NICE" on the top.

[Altissimo]

But I know she likes the "bad guys" & "gangsters", both of which I am not.

What does this mean and how do you know it? It's an incredibly common stereotype that "all girls go for bad boys" but like... it's a stereotype. So are you extrapolating this fact about this friend or is it something she has told you herself? Because if it is the former then you may need to reconsider your approach to women, thinking like that is thinking that will you turn you into a fedora-wearing neckbeard lol

[braix]

Prom is generally never worth it

[SlowPokemon]

Sounds like your date was actually not interested in you romantically at all, sorry

That's the only explanation for literally pushing you toward the other girl and turning down your requests to dance

^ Agreeing with this

If she's interested in you, you'll probably know pretty quick. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've actually found women in general to be pretty obvious (albeit not direct) when they're interested in you.

In general when people like each other a relationship follows pretty quickly

I'm in the same boat with AP Chem >_<

She's told me herself. I may not know what I'm doing, but I at least know that much.

Yeahhh... it's really complicated; she was my date, but we went as friends. I kinda gave up on trying to get into a relationship (that's already been discussed on here)
The only reason she said yes was because she knew I'm a fun person to be around at events like this.

I know. People are just confusing, and me not having much relationship experience doesn't help. But I just wish I could go to one event without SOMETHING being mentioned dealing with relationships. That stuff seems to follow me wherever I go o_O

thats because yall men are terrible at figuring out when women like yall so the women have to make it exceedingly clear or else its not gonna happen

i flirted with my now-bf for literal weeks and he did not fucking notice so eventually i got fed up and came right out and said "i like u ok" and thats how that happened

Where there are humans, there are relationships. Everything you do or say, intentionally or otherwise, adheres to natural sexual human tendency.

Yup yup, siree

That's because people shouldn't be hinting they like someone. People should actually stop being cowards and tell the person they have a crush on or love how they feel.

Nah, people are scary.

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

Nah, people are scary.

I know. I think I might be allergic to people, but we must all persevere or nothing will ever happen.

[AmpharosAndy]

Yeah, tell people how you feeeeeeel!
For example:

Nah, people are scary.

Hey gurl u lookin' mighty scary have uh g'day na

I believe it is better to start out being subtle if possible because if you are too forward about it too early on it can actually make things immensely awkward in the future which is likely not the desired outcome. Flirting can be a way to a gauge their reaction to certain situations that you present them with without being overly serious, direct, or demanding. If they react negatively to your efforts, you know that you may have to find another tactic or give up entirely. If they react positively, then either perhaps it will come out on its own (the thing I was expecting to happen) or you can be emboldened in working up the courage to tell them directly (what actually ended up happening).
