@Jimmy: Yup. mrgreen

xD Thirded. And the part about Dans.

Apparently this Dan was a bignerdy goof until the end of this past summer.
Just my luck that he would become an a** right before college starts...
Just my friggen' luck.

The world hates me.  

[Omochii]

Argh, the ones that change are the worse ones of all stressed

Sorry Siani, better luck next time ^^

...Poo on Dans >.>  

[Siani]

Nooooooooooo....
But I don't want there to be a next time. I want this one sad .
Why are guys such jerks around certain people?
I mean, really... Bastards.  

[Omochii]

Hmm...I don't know the full story with this. So, Siani, Omochii requests that you share your sorrows and woes ^^

I don't have many, so feel free to burden me.

>.>

Alright...
SO. I'm at a new school... AKA College, so the first couple of weeks here I pretty much hung out with as many people as possible.
This one kid named Cody who lives in my dorm asked me if I wanted to go to the Casino with him and a bunch of his friends.
I didn't really know him at all, so I said sure.
I went and I felt really awkward at first. I didn't gamble much.
Everyone else was pretty absorbed in the slots and blackjack tables... Everyone except me.
And Dan.
So I started talking to Dan. And I started to like him a lot. He's EXTREMELY cute and funny and he seemed like a nice guy.
I developed a big crush very quickly.
He was still the same when we all rode the bus/lightrail back to campus together...
And then he added me as a friend on Facebook.
Without prompting. The same night. I was excited about this. I thought it might be going somewhere... But I have really bad luck with guys so I didn't really pressure him or anything. Just casual conversations for a while.
We met a few times at some Fraternity parties, too... And we had some fun then.
Then I randomly met him in the dining hall in my dorm.
He sat with me and we had a good time. We mutually decided that we should do it again sometime.

A few days later I called him on it... And he never responded.
Then I may or may not have gotten drunk and told him outright that I liked him... And he hasn't talked to me at all since.
I saw him when I went bowling with my friend Cody, but he didn't even say hi or anything. And some random drunk chick was hanging all over him...
That was an extremely depressing event... Yeah...
I talked to my friend Cody about this briefly last night (he was the one who asked me to go gambling originally) and he said that Dan used to be this really cool guy but he started to be a jerk towards the end of summer.
When I say cool I mean like... nerdy/geeky I guess.
Which for me is extremely attractive. Especially when the guy is as hot as Dan is....

So for a while I was ok with him not talking to me... sort of.
And now I find out that he used to be my ideal guy. Literally.
And now I'm pissed at the world.

You sound like you're in need of a good movie, a tub of ice cream and a big fat girly hug, dear.

It happens too often...but if this Dan guy has changed then, has he changed for good? Is there any chance that "old Dan" is still there, or is he just a completely different guy now?

Thing is, if he's still the old Dan that you crushed on, then maybe he does like you, but simply doesn't want to admit it, so he's avoiding you because he doesn't know what to do. They're kind of like that sometimes...

*nodnod*

Guys, me particularly, can be dumb, and unable to work out our feelings.

Partially because society says that any male that shows /any/ emotion is a wuss, partially 'cause emotions are scary and confusing.

 

[Siani]

I asked him to go to lunch.
No response.
I told him I like him.
No response.
I told him that if he doesn't feel the same way it's not that big of a deal... That he should just tell me.
No response.

I'll take that ice cream, now.

He should know what to do... I'm pretty sure that I made it as easy for him as possible. I really hope that the non-jerk Dan is in there somewhere still...
But I doubt it.
This friggen' sucks.  

[Omochii]

I think this calls for story time, just to give you a little hope, Siani.

This guy I like, let's call him Harry [I use that name for everything these days >.>]. He was like that. You threw hints at him - not even subtle ones - and he'd simply shrug it off, and not respond. I went so far as to blow and send him a three page long text telling him how I felt about him and that if he didn't feel the same way, yadda yadda yadda...

Like you.

No response. And I got sick of it. I thought, whatever, if he isn't going to bother with me, there's no point sitting here crying for some guy that doesn't even care.

But you know something?

It turned out he really did like me. Really. Enough to become my first ever real boyfriend. Enough to cuddle me in front of his friends [for my age group, that's so "whoa" it's pathetic xD]. Enough to not run away that one time I had a mental breakdown and cried, but to stick with me and actually...care.

So yes, it's possible that this Dan just isn't expressing his emotions. Hang on in there and see what happens. You just won't know yet.

*Hands you ice cream* Chick flick?  

[Siani]

If he really did like me, why would he let some drunk hoebag hang all over him?
I need a good friggen' cry... that's what I need.
All of this s**t plus being homesick, tired, and hung over... Not cool.

And the Vikings won.... And the Packers lost...
Great.  

[Omochii]

*Hug* There, there Siani. Would you have preferred that it wasn't a drunk hoebag but a permanent, pretty and perfect new girlfriend?

Chances are, she was just some nobody that attached herself to him and he was too polite to draw back and say that he really wasn't interested. These kind of guys are the most annoying - you can never tell what they're thinking or feeling.

And by all means, if it helps to cry...feel free to cry. If I were near you, I'd offer my shoulder too.  

[Siani]

I actually think that I would prefer a pretty/permanent/perfect new girlfriend... At least that I would be able to interpret with absolute certainty.
... God.
And the thing is that I don't think it will help to cry.  

[Omochii]

Hmm...what would help? You seem so down, there must be something we can do.  

[Siani]

It's the internet... There's not really anything you can do unless you have some awesome superpowers or something.
I appreciate all of the comfort offered, though.

^___^

If only I had superpowers. xD I could fly right over there and help you. And read Dan's mind. ninja

Second thought, you'd probably be better with the superpowers! =]
