I was not expecting it I was merely curious.
Also, I play a fucking card game with the most perverted nerds you'll ever meet so it's hard (lel) to behave oneself.

What do you mean by perverted? Do they like hit on you all day in creepy ways?

We should start doing the equivalent of rickroling but with Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

You know, at the years end, girls toss out a LOT of stuff they bought and never used. I got like, 4 wallets, a bag, 3 pairs of shoes, a pair of boots, and a crochet sweater. And there's more coming like pants, tops, bags and jackets.

Check out that Endless game first. I think starting with the lower quality games first is best so that you can enjoy them before you get to the better versions.

Holy shit the shoes all fit. That's like, a MIRACLE.

Another pair of shoes!
And ... more wallets!
And ... tonnes of sweaters!!
And ...
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
There's a garbage bag, full of shoes, brand spanking new with about 20 pairs or so, and they were priced at around $130. PER PAIR.
HOLY SHIT.
Unfortunately, the bag seemed to be from a Chinese girl, as her wallet and some of her old cards were still in it. The unfortunate part is that none of them fit. They were all size 6.
SO!
ThisIsBullshit, vampirelazarus, -KinkyPie-, Ashy, NotSoLuckyLydia ... any of you got size 6 feet?

In response to the unnecessarily negative responses I have received, I decided that it would be most appropriate to add 'outcast' to the end of my title. Quite fitting, considering almost everything I have to say is either not socially accepted, or debated.
And also screw JC. I don't know when it became mainly uni talk, but as many others, I see no further purpose in the JC threads. Completely different to the first thread, presumably due to the loss of OTN and the others. Quitting JC. Never again.

More like the inclusion of many others, since the first JC had about 10 people in. Now we have like 25.

The purpose of JC is to discuss what is happening in each other's lives, and to talk about casual, or sometimes serious topics. I have read every page of each JC thread, as I have been here from the beginning, and I do see where you are coming from. Personally, I still enjoy the threads.

So, how do I deal with this situation, one of my friends likes a girl that I am fairly close friends with, but she hates him. How can I give him the message without hurting either of them.

bijschjdbcd says... #25
In all honesty, tell her to talk to him.
Best way to sort it, Speaking from personal experiences he would be much happier with a direct response from her than some over facebook or though another person.

quesobueno123 says... #26
The problem is that she tried that, but he took it as meaning that she was paying attention to him, and took it as a good thing, no matter what she actually said. It is getting kind of crazy, he has lunch when she has wellness, taught by a teacher that likes him, so he goes into her class and just sits in the back of the room.

Hey Femme don't be stereotyping all women.
I certainly don't go and buy random shit just to throw it away later. And my feet are 8 1/2 :(

I'm in the process of redoing my own wardrobe. I need me some khakis, button fronts, a vest, and some v-neck sweaters.
April 28, 2015 8:38 a.m.
Bro. never buy V-necks. No one wants to see your chest hair.

Reading is tech.
V-neck sweaters. As in the kind you wear over collared shirts.
April 28, 2015 10:55 a.m.
V-neck sweaters are perfectly fine. Just V-necks in general suck.
Guys, is it okay to be reported for "being stupid"? Because I shit you not, that just happened to me.
April 28, 2015 11:30 a.m.
quesobueno123 Honestly, you should be worried about how this is gonna turn out. If she has already straight up told him she's not interested, at all, and he took it to mean she was paying attention to him... there's an issue. He's already kinda stalking her by attending an extra class just to look at her. I know you have said you are friends with both of them but you have to realize that no matter how good friends you are with this guy, that is not normal behavior.
I dunno how old you guys are, whether this is high school or college, but i'm going to assume college as you mentioned a wellness class as well as used the term "professor". What I think you should do is this: 1) Let her know that this guy you know is obsessed with her, has taken her rejection as encouragement, and most importantly, you need to let her know that he is following her to her class. She absolutely needs to know this. 2) Encourage her to talk to her RD, or whatever it's called for your guys, the adult who's in charge of her dorm. This is exactly what they are there for. If you guys live in apartments off campus, she's gonna have to go to the campus police. Someone needs to be informed before someone gets physically hurt. 3) If there is going to be another meeting between these two, where she lets him know "I know you've been following me, you need to stop, right fucking now. I do not like you. Leave me alone", etc. etc., I don't think it should be solely between those two. You should probably be there, and honestly she should probably bring one of her friends who doesn't know this guy. The more people who are there while this happens will most likely discourage this guy from lashing out (physically) when it happens.
This is my advice from what the information you've given me. I dunno the personality of this guy at all, and maybe he's just some loves struck idiot who isn't dangerous. But when something escalates to stalking, you need to be really fucking careful how it's handled, as that's a psychological issue. It is not normal. You may be much better friends with this guy than the girl, but you need to take her side in this as this could become dangerous. God forbid, should something happen, you don't want the guilt of "I could have done something. I had a chance and ignored it."
It's always super awkward to do something like this when you're friends with them, but it's worth it. If you need encouragement, i'll give you an example from my life. A few years ago, one of my friends tried to hang himself in our apartment bathroom with his belt. He was interrupted by someone else walking in accidentally (the apartment was empty at the time and he hadn't locked the bathroom door). He tried to blow it off, but the next day I went right to one of my psych professors who I knew dealt with this sort of stuff. She told our RD, he had a talk with my friend, and my friend went to counseling. Month and a half later, he's was doing much better. Took me aside and thanked me for letting someone know. Few years later, he's still doing well. You can be scared to act in these situations, but you still have to act anyway.
Sorry for the long post, but this is something I feel strongly about and you did ask for advice.

I need an entirely new wardrobe. Ever since the boys were born, I've spent money on Magic, and that's about it. Need a vacation, too. Or at least 2 nights away.
For the first time in years I got 7+ hours of uninterrupted and quality sleep. CPAP machines really do work. Amen.
April 28, 2015 11:59 a.m.
You didn't say professor, you said teacher... oops. Still. If it's highschool, have her inform her advisor if you guys have those... otherwise, i dunno, you guys must have a school counselor in high school. It's been awhile, can't remember who's supposed to deal with this.

Thanks, I will first see how having her talk to him again goes.

V neck sweaters, done right, are sexy as hell, FYI.
April 28, 2015 3:27 p.m.
In b4 famous goes and buys a full wardrobe of V neck sweaters.
April 28, 2015 3:47 p.m.
@ThisIsBullshit: Well I was a bit vague. As a strait man, guys look sexy as fuck if they wear v-necks so long as they're ripped.
April 28, 2015 3:48 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #47
Well I meant with like a collared shirt or whatever.
But if they're ripped (I assume you were talking about the guy, not the shirt lol) then the shirt hardly matters amirite :)

Took ya long enough.
April 28, 2015 4:26 p.m.
Well yea, might even be better without a shirt at that point. But what is so good/bad about v-necks is that they reveal a lot of your upper chest, so they can be really ugly or great if you have large abs.
April 28, 2015 4:27 p.m.
For all you guys, I have it on good authority that wearing a nice button down dress shirt with properly rolled up sleeves is like, the thing to wear, if you are trying to dress to impress. Forearms = guy boobs.
