:headbang:

I made a friend an offer. He hasn't accepted nor declined yet, but if he accepts... well, my stupid deed for the day is done. Might even be the stupid deed for the whole year.
I should learn to be more selfish and to keep my mouth shut.

naturally, this thread will be no fun unless you elaborate..

But half the fun is the Elaboration...

Hmmm.... :rolleyes:
:eek:
;)

My theory: He offered to take out a hit on his friend's ex-wife.

And the year has just started...please feed us more information...:)

... I'm sorry, I've got to ask. What did you do?

If you don't want to tell us, why did you post?

If you do tell us, chill! You have the entire collective genious of the nationstates forum to help you think of a way out of your prediciment. And then someone will either mention religion or politics, and the blood letting will begin... (*shudder*)

naturally, this thread will be no fun unless you elaborate..

*sigh
Ok. I know he'll read this eventually, and it's almost as if I went back on my word, but I don't. Whatever he chooses, I will accept.
I haven't met him in over a year, and we had plans to meet soon. He just told me about this other friend he'd also like to meet, but circumstances are against that. So I offered that he could meet this friend instead of me...

It might make matters a little clearer if I point out that I may not have another chance of meeting him for another year or two after that, and that I've been looking forward to the meeting for the better part of the last year....

I'll just have to wait and see.

you either get good advice or a really confusing load of crap here. it's never just quite decent advice or slight confusion, you're either screwed or you're saved.

well... speaking as a guy...

that is sweet and noble of you. if you did that with me, offering to "sacrifice" your time... be assured that I would try harder to meet with you soon... and make it worth the wait. :fluffle:


I can only hope he will feel the same way. :)

Oh please get selfish...you get the boy scouts award of the day but that won´t last long. Call him, tell him you want to see him and screw (not literally) the other friend.
Sonst mach doch mal ´ne Kur für mehr Selbstsüchtigkeit, stehe gerne zur Verfügung:D

Ah, you underestimate us! Here's what you do.

Plan A- all three of you meet. You and other friend sit opposite each other, with him between you in a swivel chair. You each get 60 seconds of speaking to him, and then he swivels around to talk to the other person for 60 seconds, before swiveling back to talk to you. Bring a good book.

Plan B- Kill his other friend. This comes with the bonus that you will probably be grief stricken, so you can comfort him. He might even hang around for a few more days for the funeral. For comic effect, I recommend your method of assasination be a grand piano dropped from a height.

Plan C- drag him from a car crash, and nurse him back to health in an isolated cabin in the Wicklow mountains, telling him that you're his biggest fan. However, when he starts to recover, tie him to it, and break his legs if he tries to escape. Make a film of it! You can call it "Miserably"... and no law suits will follow. I swear...

Plan D- (Because frankly three plans just aren't enough) Swallow him whole, and let him dissolve slowly in your stomach for a thousand years. Boba Fett will keep him company. (I'm too much of a nerd for my own good :( )

(I'm too much of a nerd for my own good :( )how about Plan E - meet him, then kick his legs out from under him and get to the ground (and under him) before he lands.

I think I'll go with that one... if I can pull it of somehow.

that also has the advantage of looking cool if you get it right.

Got the point (I think) but not the TG :confused:

Good advice... but it might be too late already ;)

Physical? Or mental as well?

Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Grammatical, you name it, we gots it. :p

Physical? Or mental as well?

Both...of course

I'm going to tell you to do what's best for yourself.

Look at the end result of both scenarios-how would you be left after you met with this friend?
How would you be after the other one was chosen instead of you,the nice guy?

To me, it sound s like you're gonna be alone either way. Go some place you can meet someone and expect to see them more than once a year.

I think you deserve that. If you think-you will too.

Have you tried riding up to him on an ostrich, lassoing him, and dragging him back to your cave? It’ll get his attention, and you can make him a REALLY big omelette. Guys love that.

Both...of course

Book me a room with a view, then ;)

Ever seen a pic of me? I'd break the poor ostriches back... then again, what man would say no to an ostrich steak?

Book me a room with a view, then ;)

Wonderful view over the north sea and the Halligen, and a free trip to Helgoland...booked and reserved;)

Great! Can I get some treatment for my back and my heart, then?

Easiest treatment...

Sorry, back tomorrow for more, real life beckons

.. then again, what man would say no to an ostrich steak?

Not me. Ostrich tenderloin might be the meal of my final request.

Alone is good, most of the time, actually. I'm not much of a family person anyway.
It's just now and then when I see how happy other people are in relationships that I get envious and want the same... and then I end up doing stupid things like that, don't even ask me how I got there. But I think I got out of it ok ;)

You know, the thing about deserving is, it's theory. There's no knowing if the deserving person ever will get what she deserves, nor if she even wants what she deserves...

... then again, what man would say no to an ostrich steak?

Exactly! the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Unless you're strong enough to punch through the rib-cage... Which, if he picks this other friend, is always an option too, right?

not done one yet

How's this view.


A little too much pink, but beautiful as well. Definitely beautiful.

I am sure you will deserve more than you will know.

never loose Faith and Hope.

Then you've already decided to defeat yourself, no matter what the cost.

Inside- you do want a meaningful, supportive relationship. Thats normal.

Do whats best for you. Do what will make you feel good.

Dont be on a menu where someone is deciding between the chicken or the fish.

Be the beef-and find someone that chooses you.


damnit.....

How much experience would have you sitting politely waiting to be passed over?

I see no old cow in you...yet. My wife is 39-you'd never know she had three kids-and me- at home if you met her on the street.

She should be a haggard old shrike now, but she certainly is the opposite.

I tend not to think long enough before speaking or acting to be selfish. One of my major problems, it seems. :(
