Rejection or coincidence?

Darkath · Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2003 11:07 pm Post subject: Rejection or coincidence?

OK, so basically I have to get this out of my head before I explode

Situation: My friend Chris asks me Tuesday (12/16) if I want to go see Return of the King this Saturday (12/20). He is already going with another friend of mine, and ALSO, the girl I LIKE. Today, I tell the girl I like that Chris invited me. She was excited about it and wanted me to come, and I was joyful the rest of the day (this is me today --->>>

)

Problem: About 8:15 PM today, my friend Chris IMs me and says "Lizzy (girl I like) isn't coming". So now I'm like 'WTF'. I asked Chris why she couldn't come, and her excuse was "My sister and I are huge Lord of the Rings fans, and whenever we see it, we see it together, and she doesn't want to go, so I'm not going"

So right now I'm like

and

at the same time because I get the general feeling she cancelled because of me. I feel like she ripped out my heart, poured liquid nitrogen over my already frozen organ (I've faced rejection many times before, it's kind of made me a cold person) threw it as hard as she could, and it smashed on the ground into a million pieces.

She is not the type of person to do something like that to other people, so I am debating whether or not to be

or

My question to you: Rejection or coincidence (she's telling truth)?

i live by the " bathroom door" philosophy, made up by myself. why ask someone outside if/who is in the bathroom when you can knock on the door yourself and ask them yourself. jsut ask, from the looks of the story there was no rejection to be had. if you like her... show it and ask

Darkath seriously you can't really think she rejected you can you? No no my friend she is more than likely telling you the truth. I a lot people are wierd like that and want to see something like a movie with someone cause it is like a special bond i.e. your romantic interest and her sister. Don't give up hope man..i hear the movie kicks ass so why not go see it again and ask her to go this time...ask her to go out after the movie etc.. etc...the bottom line is that she didn't reject you don't give up hope. If she was happy to hear from you and that you were actually going there is some chance...so go with it man and let me know how it turns out.

Heh, I marked rejection just because I could. Actually, I think it would be a little of both, but not in the way you're thinking. Was there a rejection made? Yes. Was it most likely directed solely at you? No. Obviously being of the male species (A.K.A. not psychic) and not knowing this girl at all, I couldn't even be close to being sure about this. But if you say she's not the type of girl to do something like that, then she probably isn't. Sisters often have wacky ass traditions they do with each other, and the one she described really didn't sound wacky at all, so it's entirely believable. She might have had a momentary lapse in memory, so she made the date with you guys to go watch the movie. After remembering her sister, she probably felt really bad about it and cancelled.

But the one thing you should remember is this: When in doubt, ASK! If you never ask this girl out/for some coffee/whatever, then she will most likely never go out with you anyways. There's some kind of old ass mumbo jumbo saying that says "Faint heart never won fair lady." Basically it boils down to "Pansies don't go on dates". If you dig this chick, then ask her out. If you don't think she'd go out with you, then ask her out anyways. going through some kind of episode because you don't know is pointless and disheartening. If she says no, well, at least then you know, and knowing is half the battle!

I think you're thinking too much about it lol. It's like when people laugh, you think they're laughing at you, although there is no reason to justify the thought.

Her excuse sounds reasonable to me. I suppose it was the same way with my best friend and Matrix: Revolutions (nice sig and avatar ;p ). We both love the Matrix movies, and neither of us saw the movie before the other, even if the opportunity was there. If she and her sister are really both huge LotR fans, you have no reason to worry. If like CoB was throwing a concert here I probably couldn't go without VP since we're both CoB fans (assuming he'd want to go).

and

i was like

so all in all just give it a shot

man i just depressed myself.

now this the shorter version of what i wanted to write but i cant remember all of it. it had astrology in it and zodiac signs but i dont feel like going back into that and writing a page on why sh*t happens and that u should try again and keep at it

edit2: i read the other posts and all i can say is they are right go for it

i remember the song be happy and i agree with it. be happy and ask

u were not rejected she did not cancell because of u she cancelled because of her sister. she is much more attaached to her sister than she is to u so when her sister dint want to go, her not going was the obvious decesion. just like i could have gone at midnight opening day with u but waited till today cause i wanted to see it with my bro and all u guys.

Well i have to say as being a girl that i dont like canclling on my friend that wants to see the movie with me, but also im total boycrazy so i would go with her and you. All girls are differnt. Ask her though youll feeel better trust me i told guys i like them and i felt way better about it. If it is the case that she was rejecting you then thats not the type of girl you wanna be with thse are the real big b@#%^& if you ask me i know alot about this bullcrap things they call popularty or school. I liked a Guy alot and he used me as a rebound and i new it and i didnt care. Then when he was gonna come over to my house he annoyed me because he got back with his girlfriend. (i know how you feel i felt like he had punded my head aganst a brick wall for a month). It took me some while but i got over him and im doing pretty fine. Just talk to her. Trust me on this one.

It could always be worse (a famous phrase of mine btw.) You could have some below average woman with two kids at work. She first hits on your friend who's married by just flat out giving him her number. Next you could have her hitting on your other friend who's engaged. Finally she starts talking to you (suddenly interested.) Try that one on for size! That's being wanted! I think it screams somewhere "Hi, I have two kids and I'm desperate for someone to take care of my kids and get me sex0r! You interested?" Somewhere SilverOne is doing a big fat LOL saying to himself "Chris, that shit only happens to you!"

I AGREE!

If there's one piece of advice I could give. DON'T EVER BE SHY! Otherwise you'll get to deal with being #3!

So you see Darkath. It could always be worse/more amusing.

This is SIMPLE.

If you like this girl more than the movie you will. Cancel going to the show and setup a time that you could go with all four. If the sister doesn't want to go..... kidnap her and only release her after watching the movie with Liz.
