So, I'm in a bit of a predicament, not one that isn't correctable but one that just makes me more socially awkward than what I enjoy to be.
Blayn has recently gotten back with his ex-girlfriend and kudos for him, since I have no idea why they broke up in the first place or ANYTHING about her. From what I've gathered, they've been together since at least before the 25th, which is significant because he came over to my dorm without warning. Maybe it's just because I was raised a certain way, but if you were dating someone, would you go over to the opposite gender's house and blatantly flirt? Yes, I am KNOWN to make mountains out of mole hills, but tickling me and laying on my bed and killing spiders for me and then teasing me by "throwing" the corpse at me is considered flirting, right? I'm not completely out of my mind, am I?
So, I'm in this weird state right now where I'm the fall-back advice girl. He texted me randomly after he had just got done slightly ranting on FB, which I guess is how he likes to handle his problems. I talked to him on the phone and he was venting about his problems with his girlfriend and I didn't really know what to say about it. I'm not about to spread his business over the internet, even if it's on my blog which I'm fairly certain only Ashley & Watson reads, but I'm horrible at advice-giving and especially so when I'm confused. I went from a potential? interest to a friend, but it still feels like the same as it ever did.
I has a headache from this confusion, but I will continue forth in this role that I have been given and I shall perform it ceaselessly from here on out.
Men and women are so dumb. Nothing makes sense. I'd definitely say the tickling thing is a flirt, but I also make mountains out of mole hills so I don't even know. Sorry that such confusion had to occur :-(
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love that gif. It's from Community... who did the DnD episode... which I'm pretty sure you still haven't watched #scrunchyface.
ReplyDeletePeople are really dumb FO'REAL!
ReplyDeletethe gif really sealed the deal for me as to whether or not I was even going to post this :P Do you have Community??
I've got this season on my DVR, including the DnD episode!
ReplyDeleteThen instead of watching it by myself on the internet, we can watch it via DVD! #sillygoose
ReplyDeleteThats definitely flirting. If the gf knew about that she would be jealous and not want him to hang out with you. So clearly, not "friend" behavior.
ReplyDeleteHe put you in a crap position.
I wouldn't worry too much about advice, most people just want assurance that what they are feeling and thinking is right along with someone to listen. So as long as you provide a little support to the person seeking advice you really can't go wrong.
And if you do feel inclined to give advice the worst that could happen is that it would go wrong and the person wont ask you for advice again, putting you in the less awkward position of having to dish it out :)
Also never feel guilty of any advice you give and its consequences, because it is ultimately their decision. Any one who will blame your advice is a douche who isn't worth the time and are just afraid to accept their own fate. :)
