The Desert Colossus

Okay, so my ex asked me to go to the Valentines day Dance with her at her school. Half of me wants to go, and the other half of me wants to chill at home.

REASONING:

The Good Stuff
- I get to be with her
- I could quite possibly show her that the passion is still alive inside me
- It'd be a lot of fun

The Bad Stuff
- I have quite a few enemies from her school(un-finished business and whatnot), and if they show up, there'll be a Valentines Day rumble.
- I've never actually danced before at a school dance.
- I recently got my hair cut, it looks bad, and I don't want her to see me like this XP

You should totally go.

REASONING:

• She obviously has the hots for you.
• Seriously.
• Why else would she ask you?
• You might get lucky, man.
• You never know.
• VALENTINE'S DAY RUMBLE

Hmm...it is going to be a dark dance. In other words: will it be like one of those dances where its a gym and the lights are turned off excepted for a few dull ones? Maybe you can try to avoid those people you don't like. And don't know if this is a formal dance or whatever, (it probably is) maybe you can wear a hat. I always do that when I have a bad hair day...or rather, a bad hair 2 months. :-*

We're having a dance kinda like that at my school. It's called the Turnabout or something. But the thing I don't like is that only girls can ask boys and it can't be vice versa. There's no one at school I really like, but something makes me want to go with someone. I mean, maybe if someone asked me and I thought they were pretty decent, even though I didn't have a crush on them I might go. You don't need to go with anyone, but I know that with it's Valentine's Day theme, I'll probably be the only loner there and I'll go home right away feeling sick (in a depressed way) like at Homecoming. :( Because no one really wants to talk to me when they've got their dates. Maybe I'll just go over to my friend's house and we can watch movies and crud. It's kinda a tradition when there's a "date-dance" going on and we're really mad.

Anyway, you can try a disguise. I'm not saying wear a wig and a fake mustach, but change yourself a bit.

...ZV, why are you trying to win her back after...Whatever....

Anyways, I've got ten rejections to our winter formal so far. On the bus home today, I was talking to one of my friends about it, and she said that she 'wanted to go, but none of her friends wanted to, and she didn't want to go alone.' So I said "Well, I've been looking for someone to go with, and you don't want to go alone, so--" And then she just cut me off with a loud no. Said she didn't like me as more of a friend, and no matter how many times I said we would just be going as friends she said it would be too awkward. I dunno.

Know what I'd love to do? I'd love to just watch them squirm in all these so-called 'awkward moments'. I mean, they're all unstable and stuff about this, but in reality, they're just cowards. I say DEMAND that you do it, say that NOTHING will be awkward and point out her hypocrisy!

If I were you, I'd slap her hard making the point that "She is YOUR woman NOW!" Girls tend to like guys that stand up for themselves lots... Especially when you make a smart comeback after they reject you.

WE MUST WIN THIS WAR TOGETHER, MY BROTHERS!

PS - How long has ZV been talking about this girl being her 'ex'? When all he does is say stuff like they're actually together? It's one or the other, not both honey.

She's done all this crap to you, ZV, why do you still...I dunno.

And JQ, I've seriously considered being a jerk. They seem to like that. Although I don't quite like her more than a friend, I suppose being rough may still hold some sway over her emotions. :-\

And I'm fully aware that 'it would be awkward' means that I disgust them.

Screw that feeling of awkwardness! BE A MAN! People find me awkward all the time because I'm so different from everyone else in terms of how I see the world. And you know what? I'm sick of taking that crap and I'm going to do something about their impulsive reach for awkward implications!

They seem to always think of it being awkward as a way to simply avoid it.

It's not awkward to me, but I can't force her to go. Besides, it's not like there's NOONE else to ask...

...

...

God, I'm screwed. :-[

This what I'm going to say about the Bad Stuff...
1. Who said the guys you have unfinished business will be there.
2.Whocares if you can't dance, try and have fun
3.So what if your hair looks bad, if she loves you, she won't care.

Theres what I say! :D

...You do not know girls, JQ.  ;D

I still advocate being a (little) jerk to get the girl's attention, since obviously she thinks she's too good for you.

PROVE HER WRONG!

I say Go!

My school never does anything for Valentines, I mean we can send roses but thats dull. Most roses are sent by people putting them in other peoples names to try and tease/break people up. And once they made a typo on my friends message it should have said "I love you more" but instead it said "I love you mole". It was hilarious.

We get to send candy grams...this year they look like Whinnie the Pooh, Highschool Musical, Hannah Montana and Webkinz *goes wolf and growls at them*

I don't agree about awkwardness JQ. Sometimes they find it cute.

She is your ex for a reason, ZV.  If she did something to miss out the best person ever, then she's SOL amirite?  Just ditch her and go tail hunting.

And you never want to appear "cute."  "Cute" is that nerd that sits in the corner and always blushes, "cute" is that little puppy that waddles when it walks.  You want her to think you are hot, never "cute".

Not entirely true.  I'm going out with my ex-girlfriend right now, and we're having a good time.

Well...as for me, there's a dance this week, I guess. I'm rather worried about going, since (1) the last one was, ah, disappointing (not a lot of people I was familiar with was there...not that I'm familiar with a lot of people to begin with XD ) and (2) because I can't really bust a move painlessly with a surgical injury on the back of my left heel, can I? :P

The circumstances surrounding you and your ex are quite different from those of ZV and his.

Quote2.Whocares if you can't dance, try and have fun

Whocares will be very angry to find out that you think he can't dance.

Also, I ended up with 13 rejections. Now I'm going with the older sister of my first girlfriend. I'm not sure if I want to go though...I dunno.

I think you should GO!! Anywhere you go you might run into people you have "unfinished business" with, and trouble could ensue. That part of it could just as easily not happen. As for your hair, I gaarantee (li'l joke) it doesn't look as bad as you think it does. And as for the dancing, take it from the voice of experience (BIG joke, got zip experience), ya gotta git yer peanut brittle out on the dance floor sometime!! GO!! And have a great time.  :)

MOD EDIT: That word isn't allowed. One warning. _Sorry...

Uh...that word is taboo... Sorry, but that's a warning...

Does anyone take into account the fact that this girl causes trouble for ZV?

If you want to go, go. Use a hat, and if someone starts... things, well, sock 'em in the face.

I've been in... not necessarily a relationship, but a friendship in which Person caused trouble. u_u social situations are much better because they wouldn't cause a scene in front of other people. It's like beating your wife publicly, it's hard to get away with.

Yes? XDD

Oh, and um, Maggy-sama, a** is in the Bible.  XDD

There's also anarchy and murder in the bible, we shouldn't be off murdering people and become anarchists, now should we?

There's a dance here tomorrow as well, but I'd rather be at Ikkicon... (I don't understand our plans for Ikki... o_o apparently we're going for one day, but...)

Hmm...you make a compelling argument for anarchy and murder. I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I had almost the exact same problem last week, except not to a Valentine's Day dance. Luckily I was really sick, but I went anyway, then I forget my ID card so they wouldn't let me in, then I called my dad and felt like throwing up, so I got to go home in the end.

In the end I decided I didn't care what he decided he felt for me again, I had no interest in striking up with him again so I have a right not to go. Although I had a reason, and I'm still sick but not as bad.

Well, I'm dressed up all snappy, waiting to be picked up in like ten minutes, then I'm off to the dance. I'll send pics later.

Any perverted advice or encouragement before I go?

Use protection!

I didn't go to our dance... though I wish I had, because my friend Ben got dreadlocks. XD Well, he was supposed to, anyway.

1. Don't ever call me honey ever again.
2. We love eachother, but due to complicated reasons, we aren't together as a couple right now. We act just as boyfriend and girlfriend would, but we never made it official that we're "together".
3. You don't know what we've been through, so don't question it. I completely trust her now.

Shika, I know that you know what we've been through, and I know that I have more reason to not trust her, than to trust her. But She is more than sorry, and she darn near cried her eyes out trying to explain to me that she was wrong, sorry, and felt like a total (for prohibition of another word) douche-bag. Its been one hell of a ride with her, and I never really know what to expect.

But I honestly trust her now. I totally and completely trust her, and I know how much she loves me now. Our 2 year anniversary was a week ago, and the things she says... the way she shows her affection. If she ever completely left me, I don't think I'd be able to move on. I'd be alone forever. I love her more than I've ever loved anything, and if I have to, I'll walk to her school for the dance.

Yes, I'm going. I don't give a flying **** about anyone else, if it means I get to spend a few hours with her. She's been through a lot of crap, and she pleaded that I show up to the dance.

School Dances are evil. Don't go.

Wait... Love changes you negatively? :-\

It does, Mags; It's like medicine in a way.

Only if you eat the refreshments.

Anyways, Winter Ball was hella fun. After our dances were taken away they said they would reimplement them with 'less suggestive music and more techno music'. All they did was put in two techno songs. They actually had less slow dancing than usual. The rest was the same old crap. However, the girl I went with actually danced instead of talking with her friends the whole time, and the DJ freaking played Thriller. It was awesome, I was teaching everyone in the front how to do the actual dance.
