New Question&Answer Thread!

a: november, i was stuck for about 3.5 hrs when i would have needed about 40 minutes to reach my destination had the road been clear.

q: how much do you spend on fuel/gas per week?

quick comments on the answers to my q:

@rahv: i didn't make sense (.) seriously, what i meant is that people who get angry at non-freaky suitors think they can pick and choose who can interact with them and who can't, which is a bit conceited IMO. i wasn't referring to choosing lovers, which is legitimate (to a point, and where it isn't, too bad).

@hilj: how do you tell silly attraction from proper feelings? i can sometimes understand whether someone just wants to get laid, but it's always hard to be in the other person's head (he). or maybe i'm just thick.

are you sure they're not getting angry at the other person's behavior, and not feelings? this is also conceited, but it seems easier to define the point of origin and spot the cause: i don't like you sending me roses because i don't want my family to notice; i don't like you worrying about my health because i can't stand being lectured; and so on. clearly some individuals hold the assumption that their persona demands a certain reaction on the part of the world. when it's not the one they expect, no matter the intentions of the perpetrator, they reject that stance as either offensive or suspicious.

A: Approximately $10.00 USD per week, the most.

Q: What about you?

 

[hyena]

are you sure they're not getting angry at the other person's behavior, and not feelings?

yeah, that's pretty sensible. on the other hand, i find that in most cases people get angry at some act of an unwanted suitor while they wouldn't have the same reaction if the same exact act was the work of a nondescript acquaintance. typically (and i think i'd do that myself, so i'm in the same boat of the conceited people), if the suitor calls to ask how the beloved is, and even if s/he doesn't call 10 times a day but once a week, the beloved might get angry - and yes, technically it would be because s/he really wanted to finish that NBA Hangtime game, but the game wouldn't be as relevant if anyone else, possibly excluding old aunts, telephoned. the extreme example of this would be people who get mad at someone for looking at them with peculiar intensity or frequency, which is totally harmless if done in a civilized setting, without evil intentions, and without drawing attention... eh well, i spent a long time pondering this yesterday during a boring meeting (and i was mainly looking at a woman sitting in front of me, who wasn't phased in the least )

edit: answer and questions...

a: 5 euros.

q: what's your biggest worry at the moment?

@hilj: how do you tell silly attraction from proper feelings? i can sometimes understand whether someone just wants to get laid, but it's always hard to be in the other person's head (he). or maybe i'm just thick.

someone that has just seen me and barely even talked to me and approaches me cause i look in a certain way can't feel love for me, and it has never happened to me that someone who actually knew me well revealed to have loving feelings for me and since the persons who know me well are more or less 2 and i'm rather sure of their non-loving feelings towards me, i could easily say that i've never been in the situation of someone feeling love for me, requited or not.
not that it's always love from a closer person showing interest, but at least they know how you really are, and it's the fact that this kind of interest has a more solid ground and that the other person is a friend that makes this situation horrible too.
the annoyance i was referring to is the way some of those people, who feel a simple physical attraction, act when they think the other person is just going to "change her/his mind"

i don't know, i just don't have many people around and they're all very close persons, (about the calling 1 or 10 times a day you wrote) and what has happened to me was someone i'm not interested in at all, not even to chit chat (i don't have a chit chat level) starting to call, also not very often, to say pointless stuff and ask how i am and asking to go out, when i already explained about (the absence of) my interest.
i mean, if there's not even the shadow of interest coming from me in the air i am annoyed by someone calling or talking just to say pointless stuff that is never going to be the base of the before mentioned friendship or something more because simply it is pointless. it makes me nervous and uncomfortable

[Ethereal Sage]

*Shakes Fist at Rusty*

A: I agree with Arch about the commercialized comment. I might sit and think about the people that made a meaning to my life or affected it in a good way, not whether I bought a girl enough flowers every week or pretended to put 1 person above all others.
A2: Yes, to load the chat thread before opening another window for here, as this is my homepage :Spin:
