I like a guy but he just sees me as a friend. What should I do?
“I have currently stopped talking to him”First piece of advice, don't suddenly disappear without giving an explanation. Imagine it from this guy’s perspective, he's been chatting online with you, then complete silence. How would you feel the other way around? Trust me, although most guys would understand silence means a woman is upset, other than that, they have no clue what's going on in your head. When it comes to communicating emotions, they’re simple creatures, being direct is easier.We’ve all been there at somepoint. Frustrated when we don't get what we want. The problem is that you'll start repeating this behaviour with any guy that crosses your path, because you fear being open with them.I'm assuming that you don't know him in real life (correct me if I'm wrong), in which case, putting it out there that you like him isn't going to cause you too much discomfort if he doesn't want to take things further.Just because he's two years older doesn't mean he maybe more confident. Lots of guys will chat to a girl, but be afraid in making the first move, in exactly the sameway you are.I had one guy tell me after three years he was in love with me. I genuinely had no idea, because he was playing it cool. They say women are complicated!There are two outcomes, but with one important lesson to learn from. Don't fear rejection, you really have nothing to lose, cutting someone off without taking a risk/giving it a chance won't benefit you in the longterm.Best wishes,Abi
What is a guy's thought process when he friend zones an attractive girl?
As a guy who has always been more confident than attractive, I'll tell you why I used to do this; I always thought that friends were a better thing to have than any other relationship, and I inherited and honed my Father's gift for making friends, and while I always had the confidence to ask women out, I would get more rejections from girls that I didn't know well. When I was young, I preferred pretty women, so I decided to make friends with as many as I could, and they had many pretty friends. I would resolve to never express any interest in them until they started to in me. This avoided a lot of embarrassment, taught me to be a better listener, taught me to recognize a lot of problems that would be inherent in dating some of them AND, also importantly, taught me about the several types of sex that there were (which I'll describe later). All of these things also made me more selective in partners, rather than just looking for “hot”girls, so that I could easily keep them in the friend zone (unless circumstances permitted otherwise - see “different types of sex” discussed later). Also , I felt more secure in dating women who some might have seen as “out of my league” when I knew that we really knew each other…. Now, on to “different types of sex”: The 3 major different types are 1.) “Making Love” or “Romantic Sex”, where you believe you are in a full Relationship and are (more or less) totally giving of yourself emotionally (ie : dating or behaving as such).. 2.) “Sleeping With” which is something you may do with someone you care about (a friend) but without neccesarilly pursuing a long-term commitment from or dating -> but for whom you care about and may have more than just a physical desire for (ie: friends with benifits, or former relationships)…. and 3.) “Banging” which is just sex for the physical desire/release, etc (ie: one night stand)….Now all of these have their place, but two things to keep in mind are that women get to pick which category you fall into (if any), AND you should be comfortable about accepting which type it is, and if you think you aren't viewing it in the same way, find out before anyone's feelings get hurt. ….I hope that my long-winded explanation didn't get off track, but rather gives an insight as to why the friend zone is a great place to start, and to give possible ways to get yourself OUT of it.
Does he like me or am I just a friend?
If he liked you, you wouldn't have to ask. You'd know. And if he wanted to let you know, you would have known by now, after "a few years."But you never can say for sure, maybe he's just a really shy guy. So let's analyse all the information:Everything you described has 2 sides. He could be letting you know about his ex so you'd feel sorry for him and wanna date him. Or to let you know he's still in love with her.You could be conversing a lot because you're friends and doing the same course. Or because he wants to be more than just friends.He could confide in you because he thinks you give good advice, or to get closer to you intimately.He could ask you if you want to grab lunch or a coffee because he's hungry or thirsty, or because he wants to spend more time with you.He could be teasing you because he thinks you have strange habits, or because he thinks you have cute habits.He could be nervous around you because of an upcoming exam or problem he's having, or because you make him nervous coz he likes you.Eye contact because he's talking to you or thinking intently, or because he wants to do more than just talk.And noticing you're shaking or need help, because he's observant and a good friend. Or because he wants to care for you deeply because he's in love with you.This is why I prefer straightforwardness. How can you survive the subjectivity of human interaction!Good luck, I hope it works out for you :)
Describe the best concert you attended?
Okie-dokie. It was loud. Very loud. The band that opened for them were kind of mediocre...punk-rock, very stereotypical. Imagine a dumbed-down version of the Ramones with predictably bad stage antics and a disappointing name (Emo Eye). However, when the band FINALLY came out, it was like nothing I'd ever experienced. I was in 400 feet of rock idols...there they were, Pete and Roger, playing like they were twenty years old. Although my brother was vomiting, I could barely hear him, I was singing the songs so loudly (hell, I could barely hear myself over the band and the audience!). There were these awesome surreal animations above their heads. It was just fantastic. I'd love to see them again, honestly. BQ: Wizzard? Do you know them? Probably. Um...try out Captain Beefheart if you haven't already. BQ2: Bobby Brown Goes Down - Frank Zappa BQ3: **** iTunes. I download illegally. BQ4: Beyonce. I think Chris Brown had the right idea. (Too soon?) BQ5: "Random" humor is NOT funny, smile. Don't be driftin' off into that garbage. BQ6: Not really. And people think I'm sexually confused for finding "Brian Eno" attractive (oh, and they think he's a clone of thousands of other people over there on P&S). Can you believe that?
Why is Luke Skywalker not as culturally popular as other “Star Wars” characters? He’s the main character, and yet no one seems to talk about him, compared to Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Princess Leia.
The writers at Cracked.com had an interesting perspective on this:For those of you who can’t see the video or don’t want to sit through it, I’ll summarize.In an action movie, it’s best to make the main character as bland and robot-like as you possibly can. I know, it sounds bizarre even as I read that back to myself, but it you follow the logic train it makes sense.According to this theory, the primary goal of an action movie hero is to serve as a blank slate that the audience can project themselves onto. Instead of simply watching a story be acted out in front of them, the blank-slate hero allows them to vicariously live through the events of the movie as though it all was actually happening to them.Luke Skywalker may be nobody’s favorite character but it doesn’t matter. That’s not what he’s there for. He’s there for all the little boys in the audience to subconsciously imagine themselves in his place, to project their own emotions onto him.If you want more proof, look no further than the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Everyone complained about how boring Orlando Bloom was in those movies and talked about how cool and funny Jack Sparrow was. I even distinctly remember people saying they wished they could have a Pirates movie that was all about Jack. But when studios turned around and said “Okey-dokey, we’ll give you a movie starring that cool and funny character you all say you love!” what happened? Lowest box-office returns of the series.
