"So... uh... we're all rotting lumps of flesh caught in the gravity well of a floating rock in space. Wanna hang out?"
Most the people I dated would have thought that was cool, til around the end of college age.

That would work on me, at age [hrm prm cough].
My other trick was, at a party, to sit in a big easy chair and slowly fall asleep while looking at someone I liked. it's a trick I learned from a cat.
You should've just crawled into ~~my~~ their lap. We literally live on a rock - why not? :-O
The rock ain't floating, it's falling with some speed sideways.
And the absurdity of the universe, in wich your biomechanical functions are part of, shouldn't impact the value we make of us.
And the sun is falling around a massive blackhole, and that blackhole is speeding trough the universe
In a universe that expand at an accelerated rate.
Watch out if you keep talking astronomy and i'm gonna ask you out!
This was my first reaction as well... We most certainly are not literally on a floating rock. Stay in school, meme creator.
Take it from a middle aged guy who wants family and has none: the fear of asking her out is nothing next to the horror of being alone.
You can have both! I asked her a few times, but she moved away and married someone else, so I'm alone for now! Best of both worlds!
And for future readers, to learn from this:
In order to acquire something, learn to let go first.
Sorry, I'm not letting go of my Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh before hoes.
(Joking. I'm married and we both sacrificed some things in our 15+ years of a relationship)
But if I'd let go first, I'd never have asked, at all. I think you all need to get your bumper sticker advice straight.
Edited to say: 1.) I'm not bitter, 2.) I'm totally fine with all this, 3.) I've so let go. Like, it's crazy how hung up I'm not.
You did the right thing.
For me, it wasn't fear of asking her out, it was that I had about 3/100 emotional hitpoints left and our respawn SUUUUCKSSS.
That’s called fear
Does it not matter why one is afraid? Is fear just bad? If it sends me into suicidal depression is that just the cost to maybe overcome the fear?
Where is this photo from please? I love it
ANTISPIRAL from Gurren Lagan Anime. Bro is a beyond comprensible antagonist in that anime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IJ4GdwmVPA
Hey worst case you go on a few good dates, become vulnerable with each other, realize you'd trade everything else to be with her, then fuck it up and now she hates you and you're still hung up on her a whole god damned year later
We are excited dust that formed by accident on a mud ball hurdling through space at 67,000mph in a minor spiral arm of our galaxy.
Nothing matters. So go for it.
Broke: Nothing matters.
Woke: Nothing matters!
Bespoke: 🎼🎶🎵 Nooothing! 🎶🎵 MAAAaaatters!! 🎶🎵
At least make the shot count.
My buddy with the fedora is really just looking for friendship first. He has a lot of female friends. Saw a girl with a cool shirt, brought it up, and they spent the hour talking and pretty sure they're doing coffee dates now and moving into something more.
Where my brother who is a gym rat goes around asking literally every woman under the sun if they want to have dinner. I watched him go up to the bartender, ask her out, get rejected, then while walking to the bathroom, get rejected by a girl waiting in line in the bathroom. He calls it a numbers game and is oblivious of how he sees women. Also yuck when he asked out the bartender.
AntiSpiral give me anxiety.
I wish I seen this in September
Is this a fool moon night reference?
Chemicals in my head makes life unbearable
But aren't I supposed to be ready to do that stuff? Like shouldn't I be "working on myself" so that I can ask girls out? Don't people "like" confident people? Feels like there's context missing here.
