C, of course. II is from the civilized half of the globe!

[GiglameshDespair]

Because it's winter.
You got born on the wrong side of planet.

Dude it was 21 degrees today, that's not bleeding winter you hemispherist

Wait is that in C or F? Because one is a very warm winter temperature and the other is a very cool summer day where I'm at.

Could also have been in K.
In which yeah, winter day.

[Kot]

I don't know about which side you're talking about but here we use C and we totally have snow right now. It's like -10 IRC.

well tomorrow ill have to ask her out i guess. or maybe i wont, because the answer will be no.

im pretty much panicking about this. this might be my last good chance, i have to do this tomorrow or not at all probably, and that's stressing me the fuck out. i would've preferred to wait longer but it's not an option :x

and i have no real confidence about this anymore, either. if im rational about it shes ignoring me, but i pretty desperately want that not to be true. but i doubt ill actually ask her out, because chickening out and hating myself for it is something i do.

help

Miauw.  Do it and have a finite amount of regret, instead of an infinite "what-if".

[Graknorke]

Miauw, you've been going on about this for months. You've had a while.

or maybe i wont, because the answer will be no.

i think that's her decision, m8

go ahead and ask, the worst that can happen is that she says no and in that case the only things you've lost are the time it took to speak the words and the ability to feel anxious over this, which seems like a good trade to me

THIS.

People who commit suicide are copying Hitler.

I know a lot of people who have tried to copy Hitler.

im really not sure the amount of regret of not doing it would be greater here

Miauw, you've been going on about this for months. You've had a while.

not long enough, if you consider that I only have one class with her each week and also finals weeks and holidays are a thing

yeah and ill feel like garbage and shell probably tell her friends and what i really cant use is even more of a feeling that people are judging me
also i might be in a class with her for the rest of the year which would suck

e: last time doing this was somewhat exciting but now it's just really fucking stressful

[Graknorke]

>the current year
>expecting teenage girls to remember boy not-drama for more than a few hours
>i shiggy diggy

[Graknorke]

Nah, teenage girls run the teenage drama economy, so they worry about not-drama less.

People whom you will never see again after school and whom you probably won't even be able to remember their names. Meanwhile, you will remember not asking her, and will wonder "what if". I still remember the cute girl I never asked out in 9th grade (Chelsea Buchanan), and then she moved over the summer and that was that. But I still remember. Meanwhile, fuck if I can remember anybody ELSE from 9th grade.

[itisnotlogical]

Eeyup. I remember not pursuing a lot of avenues due to anxiety, and all I can remember is the path not taken. The only moments really worth remembering about my high school experience were the ones where I did something that I was anxious about. That included asking out girls, joining clubs, performing in front of an audience, performing for a video, asking somebody to a dance, going on a first date, pretty much any high school trope you can name.

Source: Outright rejected twice, dumped four times, didn't ask girls out because of anxiety more times than I can count, currently in a happy relationship. The previous relationships that ended in being dumped were awesome all the way through, and all of my exes are good friends to this day. The pain of rejection faded away, and NO, you will probably not be talked about to her friends. It's not like the pocket spaghetti meme, where being rejected means that there has been a spectacular, embarrassing failure on your part.

The third thing, not having asked girls out because of anxiety? That's an open book that you have a finite amount of time to close. And the girls that I never asked out are the ones that I still wonder about and have a bit of hurt over, not the girl I asked out on a whim and got denied.

Ugh. Mom got drunk again, now she's having another meaningless argument with my father.
