Being born.
I was watching a meteor shower and got approached by some doggers
If I was to describe my life in a nutshell using one work I would use “awkward”.
But for real. A couple years ago my brother was going to a school that was kind of far away from where I live and in order to attend that school you had to live in that specific area so my family used one of our old address in that area. My brother started acting up in that school and they wanted to get him out so they hired and investigator on my family. The awkward part of this story was the super intendent (aka the guy who hired the invsigator) of the school was actually my crushes Dad at the time.
Back in high school, some dude walked up to me in the hall and said, "Hey Jacob. What's up?" And for some reason my brain froze and I couldn't think of a response so I stood there in silence for five seconds before I finally said, "Alright."
Needless to say, we didn't talk too much after that.
The girl I liked found out that I had a crush on her before winter break. Returning to the school, now she thinks i'm a freak and avoids me everywhere. The thing is, it was a silly crush, I didn't even want to be with her (i'm not ready for relationships), and I don't even like her anymore. I don't even know if I fucking like girls for fuck's sake. Like, it could be just a phase and now everyone thinks i'm lesbian.
fuck.
Hold onto your hats guys I've got a story for you.
So it had been a couple months or so since I'd broken up with my girlfriend and I was still picking myself up after it. To cut a long story short I was at this Birthday party up in the country and all of a sudden my mate hollered at me "hey, there's someone I want you to meet, she lives in Melbourne!"
I went up to this girl, let's just call her Abbey for the sake of protecting identities, my mate disappeared straight away, and I was left standing next to this girl making the most awkward small talk ever. It quickly became clear that we just don't have much in common.
So I guess as a way of breaking the ice she randomly said "I'm actually bald, wanna see?" and she lifted her hair to show that she was wearing a wig. Now I was caught completely off guard because I just wasn't expecting that, and in an attempt to be as diplomatic as possible I just stammered out "well...it looks very natural, I couldn't tell".
Anyways she then proceeded to ask if we could share the beer that I was halfway through drinking. Now at this stage my other mate was standing nearby and taking the whole situation in. Once again, I awkwardly said words; I said: "Well, I'm sorry, I don't think that's a good idea, cause my saliva has already touched the rim of the bottle and I wouldn't want to spread any germs by sharing my drink with you" My mate just gave me the most classic "best friend wanting to send you to Hell personally for doing something so dumb" look and in an attempt to save me pulled me into a round of pool that was happening in the middle of the room.
So I went to take my first shot and while my beer was down on the table my mate poured his coke into my drink. I turned to him and shouted "what the hell, man?" and he said "alcohol's bad for you mate" with the most shit-eating grin on his face. I tried to stomach the taste of my new "cocktail" but it was terrible so I put it down somewhere. To cap off the story, the same girl from before, who by this stage was very drunk, stole my bottle and began drinking it.
By the end of the night she made out with the Birthday boy. Also I'm still single
Did you see the full moon?
This is good news once people think your lesbian you will be getting all the women who are lesbian or bi. chasing straight women only wasting time.

Recently I finished high school and had a huge crush on this girl for over a year so at the end I wanted to tell her thinking even if she doesn't feel the same way at least we won't see each other. I told her and she said she doesn't know how she feels, she's kinda into me but at the same time not really, awkward as fuck, the problem is that's not the end.
I didn't want to go to college this year so I went to take a course thinking I might be able to get a small job so I don't starve at least, and sure as shit at that course there were lots of people I knew from high school, including the girl I told you about (Small town, everyone knows everyone, it was inevitable).
The course lasted two weeks and I had to sit besides her all the time, for about 1 week everything was awkward as hell, having to talk to her and all that but after we started talking more and more and it became less and less awkward, but still that must have been one of the worst weeks of my life.
Is this a bad moment to say that this is the comment that got me to realize you are a girl?
I absolutely hate public speaking, I get sweaty palms, I shake, my face twitches. So this one time me and my friend had to do this presentation on public speaking techniques, non of which seemed to help me. Because I was so nervous we decided to have a few shots of vodka before the presentation, just enough to calm our nerves and make us more confident. The thing with vodka is that it doesn't effect you right away, so we ended up drinking a bit more than we should have. The time comes for our presentation and we stand up in front of the class, my friend puts the powerpoint up on the screen. The first slide is the title with a picture of Adolf Hitler with a big grin on his face, a horrible man but a great public speaker. In that moment, that picture of Hitler was the funniest thing i'd ever seen. I started crying with laughter which set my friend off laughing, we were a mess in complete hysterics. No one watching us laughed, they all just stared at us with judgemental eyes until we were asked to sit down. It's fair to say that we failed that assignment.
What happened next?
Well, when I was 14 years old I had my confirmation (you know, that christian stuff with a ceremony. Oh and fun fact: I'm not even really religious.) However, me and a bunch of other people my age trained the whole program, where we should go, where and when we would be supposed to sit down and walk,... two times and everything was fine back then. But at the actual day when the ceremony took place, I forgot to shake hands with the priest after the anointing (google translater is my friend if I got that word right) and walked straight to those, I forgot what they were called... lets call them "super important church members", to shake their hands. So while the priest just stood there and reached her hand out, I just walked away from here, leaving her with this confused, judging glare in her face in front of about 70 other people watching me and grinning at my stupidness. My family made fun of me after that... ._. Welp, this was the most akward and embarrassing moment in my whole life.
I almost got torn apart in my nightmare by a psychotic shadow.
I almost got bleed to death with no stabbing in my nightmare.
I got attacked by cat-eyed people in a cemetery in my nightmare.
I fight with Dracula using Q-E quick time events in my nightmare.
I melted a demon in a dark corner in my nightmare.
But since 3 years I dont have any these kinds of crazy-ass nightmares and be able to sleep finally.
I'll give a recent example.
A few months ago, I was at a dinner with some friends, we're all pretty close. So roughly sitting diagonally from me is a girl I've known for 3 years now, and me and her have been pretty good friends.
I have a "problem" I guess of absolutely unfiltered honesty (if someone asks do I look fat in this I'll probably give them an answer they don't like) just because that's the way my person is, I don't like lies.
So the girl I mentioned earlier, welll, apparently people think she's pretty good looking. Maybe it's because I'm her friend, maybe it's because I have high standards, maybe it's because I have a singular target and ignore everyone else, but I don't see it. Regardless, she's not considered ugly. But, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to say, and I quote "I do not find you particularly attractive."
Man was saying that a mistake. It was not even intended as an insult, more of my personal opinion. She was not pleased with my comment and most of my friends agreed, although this other girl defended me. In retrospect it wasn't that awkward, but the fallout was.
So for the rest of the time I was the spotlight, giving my list of attractive women and stuff like that. Answering honestly man, jeez. Also as I left I whispered into my friend's ear that I thought the girl's younger sister (who was also at the dinner) was more attractive than her. Man was the first girl not pleased.
Next day I get a bunch of people coming at me asking about what I said. At lunch and stuff, and also all of the people I thought were hot was leaked, so that was certainly spread, and made for some awkward conversations. Confusion man. Yikes.
I had a bunch of classes with the girl the next day. Thankfully, she is actually quite sweet and didn't say anything about it herself, rather it was my other idea friends. I eventually wrote a card and apologized in it, although I still believe what I said, I probably shouldn't have said it aloud. To her. In public.
I still laugh now because of my boldness. It was quite funny, but the awkwardness that followed I could done without.
Talking in public. I hate looking at people's eyes more than a few seconds.
At 9th grade I had a really big bad crush on a girl in another class, and somehow I actually managed to stay halfway relaxed when we were talking to each other on the school yard. She wasn't really good-looking, but neither was I and we got along pretty good when walking home together.
Anyway, after a two-week-vacation we kinda ignored each other for a reason I don't understand. One of her friends said that she fell in love with a classmate, but since our relationship was the definition of friendzone at that point that didn't made sense to me. That went on for two or three years, which seemed incredibly awkward for everybody around us and, well, it was incredibly awkward for me too. We lived basically next to each other and so greeted every morning, but that was about it.
So I finished School and went on University, where I'll be finished next year. Four Months ago we had a big party for some of my friends from University, who just finished that day. It was a very typical University Party (E-Cigs everywhere, Alternative Music, f*cking Wine!), but the dancefloor was crowded with nice people, so whatever. So my best friend, his brother and two random girls and me were dancing when somebody grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the group. It was pretty dark, my best friend smuggled in some vodka, and I really was interested in one of the girls dancing with us, so I wasn't too happy.
That quickly changed when I realized who the girl in front of me was.
So we sat down and talked about the good old times like nothing would've happened. She got way more beautiful and now had short hair, while I was looking like Curt Cobain with a really ugly flower shirt on. Since I was still halfway sober and she drank lemonade we didn't went top crazy, but I did flirt with her a little bit and she actually went along.
So I (under heavy encouragment by my friend) asked her for a dance, found a song by The Black Keys, her favourite band, and so we danced to 'Lonely Boy'. I think it was pretty good, simply because we ended up kissing on a couch. It was kinda awkward for me, but also a dream coming true. At least until she said something like:
"I don't know what you want out of this, but you should know that I am bisexual."
And my brain just kinda went black. I said nothing for at least five seconds. Then I said "Oh, eh, wow." and got rescued by my friend who faked an important situation.
I know there's nothing bad about bisexuality, but that cought me off guard and destroyed my hopes about something bigger growing out of this. I saved her phone number, and we met two more times, but both times it was very weird to actually flirt. And I will never get that moment out of my head when she said that and I just looked at her like some stone statue.
They went into the woods it sounded like they were beating eachother with branches, the man grunted a lot, I went home.
The meteor shower only happens every 4 years and this time all the conditions were perfect for watching. Im still pissed off 2 years later.
People that are always told they're attractive end up with a superiority complex, you probably did her a favour and I would want someone like you in my friend circle.
One time I got really drunk and video messaged a girl I had a mondo crush on at the time. Even to this day, I haven't heard the end of that.
BUT WHAT IF I'M STRAIGHT!?!?! Like i'm teenager. Hormones and shit drive me crazy and this could totally be a phase and now I'm going to scare off all potentially cute boys and I'm sure there are more cute straight boys that cute lesbians.
Lol really?
Recent survey found out highest viewed porn by males and females is lesbian porn.
Dudes love to be the guy who has got lesbian gf the unattainable girl
Imagine ego boost they get from that
Like unlocking platinum in terms of getting a girl
Plus dudes will get u pregnant so girls are safer
Or...or Concentrate on ur grades dammit
Idk
wait how
I'm genuinely interested
I think I would find it hard being with a bi person since im the jealous type, everybody would be my competition.
No offence bi people
then I would be the one that wouldn't like to date that guy
Or I could say I'm bisexual so I can have at least a chance with everyone... just in case before I settle.
This feels like such a CAITT thing to do, god bless
GANGBANG TIME!!!
You are going to be so alone.
So so alone
you think?
Must be amazing to be able to list all the fuglies
people spilled the beans?
Forever alone
Translation: My dumbass is dying alone.
How would it be any different than being in a hetero relationship if your partner said...lets keep it open...just because she was bi...does not mean she would cheat on him...it is up to him to close the deal and make her want him...just like a regular hetero relationship.
This is hilarious
That's cute
and surprising
Spoiler Alert - The person you wind up with in life is probably not going to be someone you met as a teenager.
You're just trying things out now. So is everyone else in your age group. Don't stress too hard, and you'll find what you really like.
Sadly, Yes.
In that way, it isn't. But I couldn't do that anyway. I guess I'm too much 20th century.
There are plenty I have from my first job at the 99 Cents Only Store
That first month or so of thinking every penny matters and will get me fired led to several situations of me not letting people go for not having that penny or dime they needed
mistaking a punk goth looking girl for a guy and having that very awkward minute of her informing me she was a girl and me only able to say "oh" as I looked down and tried as fast as I could to ring her up so the situation would be over
A gay guy asking me for my number and me being confused and flabbergasted at the time actually giving it to him (he always came to my register and talked to me in my head I thought he was trying to get a job and wanted me to put in a good word) after he asked me out that night I informed him I was straight but he continued to try to flirt with me and came to my job to talk to me for months, one day my manager told me while I was fixing up the toy isle that he had been watching me for 20 or so minutes which was probably the creepiest it got.
After we had closed and started fronting the isles my manager got on the intercom and cheerily said "Great news everyone Jonluke's girlfriend is pregnant!!!!" (She was not) unfortunately several people believed her and came to congratulate me
The biggest problem is usually a man's insecurity and/or biphobia. Which in this case sounds to be both. You can't hide your prejudice by saying you're old-fashioned.. you could have talked to her about it, asked questions and learned something, to be a little more open minded. If you even really liked her to begin with that is. I mean no harm, but since you weren't ready to do that, sounds like she dodged a bullet.
Here are some "fun" moments...
I severely injured my foot and tried to shake it off by saying "I don't think my insurance covers me being a klutz." I don't know what the hell I was smoking that day, but I ended up saying "I don't think my insurance covers me being a slut."
I told my family that I didn't want to have kids; they looked at me as if I killed someone. Most awkward silent treatment of my life.
I could never be in a open relationship thats not something I would be comfortable with.
Like I said im the jealous type its my problem, they wouldn't be able to have any close friends without me suspecting something neither of us would be happy.
I am not prejudiced against open relationships and bisexuality. I just decided for myself that I couldn't be in a open relationship without being jealous. I would never cheat on my girlfriend, allowed or not, and I do expect that she wouldn't cheat on me. Thats a pretty basic part of, well, love.
How should I have asked questions? We were dating, you don't really talk about lesbian sex while sharing a drink and ordering fries. And besides, I already was 'open-minded', having a lesbian sister and two, well three now, non-hetero friends. I know enough about bisexuality to have a basic judgement about it. Now I talk to her about her other dates, if she wants to, and those conversations are pretty good.
Of course she dodged a bullet. But not because I am some sort of conservative 'old-fashioned' asshole who accepts homosexuality only for the lesbian porn, but simply because a relationship was a terrible idea, and a One-Night-Stand after a huge crush and months of friendship would instead be the most awkward thing in my life.
