Definitely treating it that way from now on!

7. Exercise!
8. The adrenaline rush during the exercise! 9. Tougher feet!

The microphone 🎤 is always on.

Woop, there it is!

That's what I thought, being the elder of 4.

Same, but understandably if this litterally JUST occurred and OP is shaken. I sure as hell would be!

I may be an only child, but I feel like I can chip in my 2 cents with my observations of the stereotypical scenarios are only as follows: you are the youngest and you are always believed by parents, or vice versa and you are always seen as the “annoying little one”. Sadly I don’t believe there’s often a middle ground. Now obviously from how everyone reacted, the eldest in this argument should easily be seen as immature and 200% at fault. She did not handle the situation well at all, nor (from the sounds of her past “act outs/records”) the past either.

If you have feelings, go on and say that you have feelings. Staying as a friend will only cause you harm.

You are younger, sucks but suck it up for now.

Later when she is a deadbeat junkie you get your victory.

I hope so. This happens a lot, and each meeting is just a willy measuring contest half the time. I'm embarrassed but glad I said what I said and hope it makes a difference

It's not probably not easy nor fun, but definetly made some people rethink things.

Amen. It's not been awful but I definitely can feel the malice in the mountain of paperwork lol

Hope it doesn't do you any harm but these ass hole company's need to here things like this. If you are going to cut pay do it from the top down.

...... that was hard to read

Option 1: Move on and have a friend (possibly).

Option 2: Pursue more than a friendship and lose the friend.

There is no Option 3. Don’t think, “well, maybe she’ll change her mind if I pressure her” she won’t. Or “maybe if I pretend I don’t want more, she’ll change her mind eventually” she won’t.

The truth of the matter is, she’s made up her mind. She may even be acting like she wants to maintain the friendship (Option 1) right now, when she actually just wants distance.

The best thing you can do is say “Hey, I understand things are awkward, let’s just go ahead and accept what happened, but remain friends.” then give her space. She probably needs a few days to figure out her feelings and doesn’t need your input.

 Our regional meet was a few days ago and we had a rather confusing course as well. Good job handling that, I understand it can be embarrassing but you stuck it out till the end, I know most of my team would've called it quits, so that's props to you !

Check out the movie The Fountain, directed by Darren Aronofsky. I think you might appreciate it. Just trust me.

The sex was bad..?

I agree but at the same time it's possible they were trying to refer to girls and women in 2 syllables as opposed to 4 and that they also refer to boys and men in 1 syllable as opposed to 3. Unlikely, but still a possibility. Like rolling a 12 when you have 2 six sided dice.

Well at least you'll give her a chuckle and give some life back to her cells :P Updates, please

Edit 2 = hope! We believe in you two!

Well at least you were honest and she doesn't have to continue in her incorrect assumption any longer. I was a virgin and assumed my fiancee was a Virgin because of our religion. When it came up later that he actually wasn't, I felt very jilted and robbed of precious relationship experiences before settling down with someone at a similar experience level.

Thank you for your story, you vapo-zealous wordsmith! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
