Thanks for your insight XilePrincess. I would never want to hurt her, she means so much to me, even as just a friend. I really want to prove to her what she actually means to me. It's been a gradual process of her growing on me from the start of the year, and I do think she feels something for me, I just don't think she realizes what it is. I mean, we do everything together. If I was to want to keep our friendship going as it is I could not have another girlfriend, because we always seem to be together. Even tonight she came over (with Jane) to just say hi ... And I live 20 minutes from her place daqua_99If this girl is preventing you from getting a girlfriend this is a terrible thing. Either scale down your relationship or dump it entirely. There is no reason why you should be her gay boyfriend" at all let alone if this is preventing you from meeting other women. Have some dignity man.

This is horrible misogyny and is the standard line from guys who are bad with women or had a bad experience.Girls are evil and their only joy in life comes from sucking the souls of men and leaving an empty shell.

OP yes you are in the friend zone. It's possible to jump ladders but in your case I don't think it is possible. When you are platonic friends with a girl for a long time and confess your love to her this NEVER works because even if she was interested time has passed and you didn't make a move. The fact that you liked her friend for a year is pretty weird and reflects badly upon you. You should never be this hung up about one girl for that amount of time.
At this point you are screwed. She let you down easy which is normal for most girls especially if you are her friend. She likes you on some level but not on a romantic one. If she was blunt you would NOT be satisfied and would probably ask her why and wonder why she didn't like you. You would also think she was a b****. She let you down easy because she wants to be friends - girls generally aren't that blunt with guys especially guys who are their friends because they don't mess up the friendship. You just suck at reading blatantly obvious signals and it's something to need to improve on.
If you really want to get this girl you need to reinvent yourself in her eyes. Start getting other girls and act more aloof/indifferent. If you are candid about your relationships with other girls she will almost certainly get jealous however if she tells you she is jealous under no circumstances drop everything for her. If you act unavailable something might work itself out. Being friends with girls is never a bad thing - pretending to be friends with them while having romantic feelings for them doesn't work, they can always sense it, and it just results in either them using you to a certain extent or you appearing pathetic.
I know numerous three years olds who have been introduced to extremely grotesque films, they can't really comprehend what is going on, you'll be fine.solidfish30This is what makes it weird. Best case scenario they don't know what's going on. Worst case they become desensitized to violence and punch a kid because Iron Man did it.
I just don't see the benefit.
Old, Asian, and a woman. Triple whammy.
Being able to take the written test daily is quite odd though. I'm pretty sure you have to wait x amount of time (2-3 weeks or something) after failing to take it again. I don't see how you can fail 960 consecutive times because I'm sure they repeat questions so any 10 year old could pass based on common sense/trial and error.
I don't really think a 3 year old is going to understand Iron Man anyway so I don't know why you are taking him.
I don't think it is horrible to expose your kids to this kind of stuff but I think 3 is a little too young. Also keep in mind that it doesn't really matter if you think it's appropriate it matters if other people think it's appropriate. If you get a reputation as the crazy parent who lets his kid play violent games and watch gory/mature movies every other parent is going to keep their kid away from yours. It's also possible that this kind of stuff will desensitize your kid to violence and bad language and this would make him an outcast amongst young peers as well. Like it or not their is a stigma associated with showing young kids (especially age 3) this kind of stuff and you should be aware of it if you plan on hurting your kid's life.
EDIT: I also find it really weird when you say your son is "into the same stuff" as you. He is 3 years old and anything he is "into" is a direct result of you. He does not have the mental capacity or the resources to go out and gain interests unique to yours. You shape his mind.
[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]You don't spend much time in Walmarts, do you? :PNo actually I've only been in them 2-3 times and they were all horrible. The customers are just depressing.Trash talking to employees in WalMart in a non-joking manner is not par for the course.

I meant employee-to-employee trash talking. The other poster mentioned that you'd be fired for this trash talking - now I find this hard to believe unless you were making racist comments or doing so extremely frequently. I also feel like employee turnover at WalMart is so great and the employees are valued so little that if two employees were having a disagreement affecting work they'd probably just get rid of both of them.
[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"]I've seen this weird attitude a lot with people bitter toward professional athletes. If your friend is a successful salesperson do you tell him "Oh big whoop you can sell people things better than most people? That doesn't make you better than them!" Athlete is just an occupation and if someone is good enough to play professionally and make tons of money all the power to them. Being an athlete is extremely hard work and physically taxing on the body - many football players have horrible knee/back problems after retiring. Rivalries are a part of sports and if the Yankees player doesn't get into the Red Sox rivalry he's probably not going to mesh well with his team. I'm not bitter whatsoever. I just don't understand why people think professional sports is anything other than a job. If you were working in walmart and you sold a tv, and you were "trash talking" to another employee about how much better than them you were, you'd get fired. And you'd get arrested if you got into a physical confrontation. Professional sports are a job. That's all. The same thing applies to people who act, sing, are famous for whatever reason etc. You aren't better than somebody because you do a certain job, you may work hard at it but somebody getting paid $10 an hour might work harder. All I'm saying is that if somebody works equally as hard as you do to achieve a goal, whether it be being a salesperson, selling records or winning games, when somebody outdoes you, you don't need to hit them, call them names or hate them. People get in physical fights in public due to these "rivalries", and that's when it's taken too far. a rivalry should not interfere with life outside the game to the point where either party feels the need to verbally or physically assault the other person.Trash talking to employees in WalMart in a non-joking manner is not par for the course. Trash talking in professional sports is par for the course because of the inherent competitive nature of it. Also professional athletes work harder than anyone who works for $10/hr, sorry. The amount of practicing and training alone is harder not to mention the PR aspects.[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]You can smack a ball or a puck around or you can flail in the water or run really fast. Big whoop, you're not better than other people. Rivalries shouldn't be so intense that one person actually hates the other. sure it might be "entertaining" to watch people scream at each other or punch each other, but really, what's the good in that? all that actually ever happens is you make a needless enemy. If the rivalry ends as soon as the players are done playing, good, if not, grow the hell up, all they did was win a stupid game and nobody needs to hate somebody else for that.XilePrincess

Because you seem to be stating that opinions should all be the same when it comes to athletics.I'm not really getting where you're going with this. Nowhere did I say anyone should worship pro athletes. Obviously famous people like actors and athletes have a great deal of public exposure. People pay money to see them perform and watch them on TV/movies/live. In doing so they have found a lucrative occupation and should reap the benefits of it. To generalize their occupation as "oh, he can hit a ball far! big deal!" is really silly and makes no sense. You could simplify any occupation like this. It's just that athletes are paid an absurd amount of money so more people are envious of their fame and wealth on some level so they choose to insult their line of work rather than roll with it.[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]You can smack a ball or a puck around or you can flail in the water or run really fast.

Nothing too crazy but a couple things that have happened in the last 2 months or so:
Saw an underage kid trying to purchase alcohol with a patently obvious fake ID in a chain supermarket. After the manager determined it was fake he tried to confiscate it and the kid grabbed the ID/beer and tried to run. The manager took off after him and tackled the kid and they ended up getting into a fistfight because the kid came up swinging. The kid was spitting rage and yelling about how his dad was a lawyer and he was going to sue. I started laughing from the stupidity of the kid and how spoiled teenagers always think that their father being a lawyer somehow is positive from a legal standpoint and allows them to get away with illegal or shady activity.
I ended up hanging out with these two crackheads after breaking up a scuffle at a strip club. I ended up trying to reform the one of the crackheads as a social experiment but he turned out to be a lunatic so I stopped taking his calls. A few weeks later I ran into him at a club and he headbutted me.
Was sitting at a blackjack table at the Borgata late on a Tuesday morning around 330 AM. Some drunk guy stumbles over to the table with his Mur Mur stamp on and was destroyed out of his mind on a combination of drugs/alcohol. He starts telling me how he got kicked out of Mur Mur earlier and now he can't find his friends because he lost his cell phone etc. He then asks me how rich I am even though I'm only betting $25 a circle because my buddy's in the room taking a shower and I have to kill 30 minutes. A minute later he pulls out a whole wad of cash and the dealer chips him out to around ~1100 and he puts it all in one circle. At this point the only other guy at the table has picked up and left because this guy is acting like a total wacko. Obviously the drunk dude puts the 1100 down in one shot and gets a 16 (I get an 18) and the dealer is showing a 2. The guy asks me whether or not he should hit or stay I tell him to stay because that is basic strategy. He tells me he has a bad feeling and he's going to "f***ing kill me" if he loses. He's a pretty big guy but we are in a casino and anything would be broken up quickly. The dealer flips two picture cards to bust and the guy goes crazy. Tips me $100 and the dealer $100 and gets up and leaves but slams into a cocktail waitress getting up and drinks fly everywhere. He's trying to tip her to make up for it but only has two pumpkins left so he can't really and walks away. I just gave the waitress the $100 he tipped me in the first place.
