<p>are you smarter than a 5th grader?</p>
<p>mbp- Depends. Does he like Arrested Development? Do you?</p>
<p>andreaaaaaa- Of course not, silly.</p>
<p>How often is too often?</p>
<p>When you ask yourself how often is too often.</p>
<p>Well, Snoopy, you asked for it. Prepare yourself, because you are going to regret offering to help me.</p>
<p>The Factz:
1- I like Boy. I'm about to tell Friend 1, but I want to make sure that she doesn't like him, first. I ask her if she does. She says yes. I consider the fact that I am extremely unlucky in romance, and decide that if either of us will end up dating Boy, she will. I decide to forget about Boy over the summer.
2- I give advice to Friend 1 about Boy constantly.
3- I see Boy over the summer. I realize why I like him. We talk all night, and it's just so EASY to do so. I like him. I can't help it.
4- It's impossible for me to do anything about it, because of all of the advice that I've given Friend 1. If I tell her that I like Boy, she will feel betrayed, embarrassed, angry, stupid, etc.
5- I'm talking to Friend 2, and she tells me that she likes Boy, but doesn't want to do anything because of Friend 1. Then, she says that if Friend 1 stops liking Boy, she's going to do something. I don't say anything.
6- I'm basically caught in a trap. It's too late to tell any of my friends that I like Boy. I was going to tell Friend 2, but SHE likes him, so I obviously can't. Even if Friend 1 gets over Boy, Friend 2 would still like him, and I would just be facing the exact same situation again*.
7- Everyone knows that Friend 1 likes Boy. They all want them to go out. If Boy DOES like me, everyone would hate me because I would have ruined the perfect relationship that they envisioned between Friend 1 and Boy. Nothing can ever happen.... nothing. </p>
<p>The Stupid Girly Part:
But, I can't stop myself from liking Boy. He's funny, incredibly smart, dedicated, respectful (I know that I sound like a mother, but that's really important to me), easy to talk to, goofy, kind, and... ugh. I hate admitting that I've fallen for someone, but I've fallen for Boy. We just get along so well, and talking to him is so effortless.</p>
<p>*The only difference is that, if Friend 1 got over Boy, and Friend 2 found out that Boy liked me, I think that Friend 2 would want me to date Boy. Friend 2 is more selfless than Friend 1. Which reminds me- if Boy does like me, Friend 1 will probably be mad at me for a very, very long time... even if I DON'T do anything, and tell Boy that I can't date him.
What a mess.</p>
<p>Have fun dealing with all that ^^^^, Snoop.</p>
<p>LesOs - Divide everything by itself, subtract 1, and add i. Now, life is purely imaginary. You can do whatever you want. You see, life in the R^2 plane isn't always a blast. On the C plane, however, you could be differentiable from (-∞, ∞), even though you're not even close to being complex smooth at every point in the real plane. See my point? Life is just too real. You've got to make it imaginary.</p>
<p>Problem solved. You're welcome.</p>
<p>If only it were so simple, Chaos =) Ha, ha.</p>

Consider yourself lucky. Super lucky.</p>

<p>The Answerizzle:
I don’t regret this. It keeps my mind off the fact that I have a project due Monday OHMYGOD and that NotEmo Kid is only my friend. Tis okay.</p>
<p>Has Boy ever told you that he likes Friend 1? Because if he does, even the slightest bit, then you’re right. Nothing can happen. Sorry. :( Just keepin’ it real.</p>
<p>Ignore Friend 2. She is irrelevant now, like a feather in the wind. Whooshhhh. Sure she likes him, but since it seems pretty obvious Boy doesn’t recognize this, she is immaterial. Isn’t that a cool word? Immaterial…. </p>
<p>Why does everyone think Boy and Friend 1 would be perfect together? Does he flirt with her a lot or something? What about you? Does Boy show any signs of liking you?</p>
<p>GAH! Giving you advice depresses me. Stupid NotEmo Kid and his stupid, stupid ways.</p>
<p>Stupid NotEmo and his stupid non-emo personality. Just so you know, though, most males end up liking their female friends romantically. It just happens. So, be optimistic!</p>
<p>1- Boy hasn't told anyone who he likes. Nobody knows. And, he and friend 1 don't really flirt with each other. Apparently, the two talk online a lot buuut... They don't really talk at school. He doesn't treat her differently than other girls, either, but this could just be because he's afraid to show that he likes her...?</p>
<p>2- I'm honestly not sure if Boy has shown any signs of liking me. He's nice to everyone. We walk to classes together, banter when we're together, and well... talk. But, does this mean that he likes me? Boy isn't the type to openly flirt. He's just... nice.</p>
<p>3- People think that Boy and Friend 1 would be perfect together because they are friends with Friend 1 and want her to have a good relationship. When people find out that a friend likes someone, that relationship automatically becomes "incredibly cute" and "perfect." All of my friends have been trying to get Friend 1 and Boy together ever since they found out that she likes him. Hell, I've even tried to help their relationship, since I feel obligated to play the part of "best friend."</p>
<p>Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?</p>
<p>1- Score 1 for you. Talking online is probably worse for a relationship.</p>
<p>2- Score eleventy million for you. Take your own advice, dummy. He probably likes you, dummy.</p>
<p>3- Well, then, people are wrong.</p>
<p>d4- Yo mama.</p>
<p>Yes, well, even if he does like me, how would I deal with Friend 1. She'd be angry with me if Boy likes me at all, be furious if I admitted that I like him, too*, and possibly hate me if I pursue a relationship with him.</p>
<p>*I've been giving her advice about him for about four months now. Whenever anything "happens" or doesn't happen, she tells me about it. I tell her not to give up hope, and that I'm sure that he likes her, and that he's probably just too nervous to ask her out. If I were to even admit that I like Boy, too, our relationship would be strained. She would feel embarrassed, betrayed, hurt, confused, annoyed, angry, and basically every other negative adjective that exists.</p>
<p>Ugggghhhh. This situation is absolutely unbearable.</p>
<p>Of course it's unbearable. We're teenagers.</p>
<p>At least you talk to Boy on a regular basis. Stupid NotEmo Kid and his wishy-washiness.</p>
<p>If you would like, I'll try to give you some NotEmo-related advice....
Even if my advice is terrible, it still helps to rant (especially for me, as I don't have anyone to rant to at this point).</p>
<p>I welcome it. But not in my own thread. Look in the 5384 thread, or whatever the number is.</p>
