- hhhh64, on 09/29/2008, -3/+201It's like they took the thoughts right out of my head.
- Pinkertinkle, on 09/29/2008, -5/+152Whoa whoa, I thought this was supposed to be a comic but it looks like an essay.
- BoneheadFarker, on 09/29/2008, -2/+113I was going to make a joke about asking you out in a nervous sort of way. But then I noticed your age and thought better of it...
- WestonP, on 09/29/2008, -10/+119Way too much reading... just grow a pair and ask her out. Most everyone knows that in nearly all opposite-sex friendships, at least one side has an interest in the other. It's like kissing a girl on the first date... you're far more likely to have a bunch of regret for not doing it, than to have any regret for having done it.

Good thing you checked the age in her profile, otherwise you might have been asked to take a seat right over there... - moosepants, on 09/29/2008, -10/+70To save everyone time better used to do something else:
1st panel: Age ~25: Dude thinks about dating chick, doesn't act.
2nd panel: Age ~30: Dude thinks about dating chick, doesn't act.
3rd panel: Age ~45: Dude thinks about dating chick, doesn't act.
4th panel: Age ~60: Dude thinks about dating chick, doesn't act.
5th panel: Age ~Dead: Slightly humorous gravestone. - LeonidasStokely, on 09/29/2008, -2/+53What the *****? Has this guy been watching my thoughts every time I start to like a girl? He knows everything!
- Sornos, on 09/29/2008, -9/+57Spoken like a person who's never been in that situation. This is pretty much exactly what goes through the mind of a guy (possibly girls too) who want to tell another who they feel. Hell, it's perfectly accurate for me. That's not to say that we "don't grow a pair". Telling her I loved her was the hardest thing I've ever done.
- Jektal, on 09/29/2008, -0/+45..Girl: Tomorrow? Oh.. No, I'm busy tomorrow. But maybe sometime later! *smile*
Guy: Okay.. *moves on* [WTF was that? Was she trying to be polite and let me down easy, or is she really interested and just busy? Or did she take that as just a friendly invite and not like a date? Aggh!]
-two days later-
Guy: Hey, are you free to go, like, do something, later?
Girl: Sure... What did you have in mind?
Guy: [holy *****! yay!] Um... dinner?
Girl: Great! Who else is coming? - StrangeFamous, on 09/29/2008, -0/+41When they say they are 14, they are a 30 year old dude.
- CharlesDance, on 09/29/2008, -1/+39Guy: Hey, I was wondering if like, you'd wanna maybe go out tomorrow, and do something together?
Girl: ....Sorry, i'm busy.
Then move on. - skipdog172, on 09/29/2008, -1/+37Dugg for Capn Crunch box art.
- kalleanka, on 09/29/2008, -2/+38Actually exactly this happened to me too... or well, except that I'm still only at the first picture in the comic... oh wait, *****.. I better take actions!
- tocsy, on 09/29/2008, -2/+37Relaaaaax. You have the rest of your life to mull it over!
- StrangeFamous, on 09/29/2008, -5/+39Yeah, reading is such a CHORE. I mean, why can't the words just come in the form of a dissolvable tablet?
Anyway, I'm sure that whatever they said was dumb, since we all know that the only things worth reading are single sentences that have been repeated over and over again throughout the internet.
The children of tomorrow will speak in acronyms. Show them a bound, printed book and they will recoil in horror, retreating with a scream into their dimly lit caves full of loli posters and pocky wrappers. The words "patience" and "empathy" will become foreign relics of the past, and all will worship the warm glow of the computer monitor as they whisper "we did it for lulz." - NoZb2k, on 09/29/2008, -0/+30Too true :(
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -1/+29It's the ultimate paradox - it takes being friends with a girl before you decide that you actually like her, and by that point, you're trapped in the "just friends" box. As they say, the answer is action - before you end up in the "just friends" box, but ugh, I could never do that, because it'd require me being interested in a girl before I reached the "just friends" box.
- oneoverzero, on 09/29/2008, -0/+26Sorry for comment abuse, but it was really slow for me, so mirror

Girl: You ruined everything.
Then realize chicks are retarded. - Tezdoll, on 09/29/2008, -1/+25she said, "No, your a pussy for waiting to so long to ask me out." and then she also added in. "By the way i ***** your roommate"
- ChefEspeff, on 09/29/2008, -3/+27How are people complaining about it being long winded? That's the whole ***** point retards. It's like saying you didn't like All The President's Men or Zodiac because it took the characters too ***** long to figure stuff out.
- downlo, on 09/29/2008, -1/+24I've been in that situation, its call High School. Now that I'm an adult, having missed chances, and capitalized on others, this situation is only relevant to people who "don't grow a pair"
Telling a girl 'I love you' is still hard, since what is really love? The situation in the strip is infatuation not love. Big difference. - ClockworksNine, on 09/29/2008, -0/+21And you're young, come back in 7 years and then tell us where you're at.
- Thoraxes, on 09/29/2008, -0/+20This is EXACTLY what i'm going through right now, and I am having the exact same thoughts, "She thinks of me as a pal, a nice guy."
This almost makes me want to just say screw it, and try. - golemeter, on 09/29/2008, -1/+20"Established societal norms" are the three scariest words in the English language.
- ostracize, on 09/29/2008, -1/+20Yeah, then what's she thinking every time you look at each other?
"There's the guy who asked me out"
"I can't believe he thought I was in to him"
"If I'm too friendly he might think I'm in to him now"
"Why doesn't he just want to be friends, things were so great..."
and so on... - yacks, on 09/29/2008, -0/+18well girls always lie about their age.. when they say they are 14.. they are really 18 ;) and when they say they are 18, they are 14.
- no1joel, on 09/29/2008, -2/+20I was annoyed.
The comic gave me no answer.
Its really easy to say "just tell her" but in real life it doesn't feel like it makes any sense to. - Janv1er, on 09/29/2008, -0/+17DO IT !!
- eschompthis, on 09/29/2008, -1/+17story of my life except for that grave thing
- LeonidasStokely, on 09/29/2008, -6/+21What the *****? I thought Diggers were mostly intellectual to a degree. When you guys start reading books you're gonna be in for a hell of a shock.
- Kohaxx, on 09/29/2008, -0/+15Or plan B, be her "nice guy" and work on other people you aren't as hung up over in the meantime, making sure to show her that you aren't a guaranteed emotional support nice guy type.
Let me tell you a story, this wasn't me but I thought it was a good story nonetheless.
This guy knew a girl for a while and was one of those "friends" he liked her, but too nervous to ask, she had your type A boyfriend who gave her a nasty breakup and she found out he had been cheating on her. They had been living together so she had nowhere to go.
The nice guy had a decent sized appartment so he made accomodations for her to stay at his place. Since he was a friend she was cool with this. He didn't want to come on directly to her out of fear that she be intimidated and think he was trying to catch her on the rebound, so he waited. He would drop suttle hints that he was interested, but he kept waiting, they would talk and seemed pretty close but he could never tell if he was a "friend" or what. Everytime he tried to do something nice or heartfelt for her she wouldn't get it that he was into her.
So eventually one day after about a year of this he just got fed up and said forget it, I'll start dating people. The other girl met him at the door, they left together, he came back to find his roommate sobbing in her bedroom.
She apparently had thought they had something going on even though she never said or even acted the way he thought they would if they were in a relationship.
So long story short, JUST ASK ALREADY! Life's too short to get hung up over one person, there are tons of people out there and if the feelings aren't mutual than just move on, the only thing you have to lose is time being a "nice guy".
Also, life's too short to read that comic. - 1Bad, on 09/29/2008, -1/+16Whatever, I always tell chicks that I masturbate vigorously to pictures of them every night, that I downloaded from facebook, even though I have never introduced myself. Once the roofies set in, they think that is really funny.
- Browzer, on 09/29/2008, -0/+15So don't tell her "how you feel". Just ask her to do something. Say, "Hey, want to get lunch?" That's innocent enough. If that goes well, escalate it to dinner. Go play pool. Go bowling. See if she wants to go to a museum. Your mistake is feeling like you have to go all-in right away. Start small. And don't tell her how you feel because that's just awkward. Show her some interest and she'll be able to figure it out.
- StephenIscool, on 09/29/2008, -1/+15Wow...that's not depressing at all.
- chiefbandit2200, on 09/29/2008, -0/+14This is exactly what half of all singles guys are constantly going through...
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 09/29/2008, -2/+16tl; dr
- Hoogie7Dowser, on 09/29/2008, -1/+15My story went this like...
Me: I've liked you for a really long time now, and I would've told you sooner but--
Girl: Ewwww.
Me: Just Kidding!
(::crying inside::) - superiorbeing, on 09/29/2008, -0/+13I'm the female version of the comic, silly.
- yellowfish04, on 09/29/2008, -1/+14wow, a cheery start to my week, thanks!
- chrisaug18, on 09/29/2008, -4/+17i didn't even notice he was getting older until the tombstone frame
- Kenzan, on 09/29/2008, -1/+13Being in your head all the time leads to nothing but bad *****.
A man just needs to go with his gut.
Don't believe me?
George from Seinfeld.
End of story. - Stupidumb, on 09/29/2008, -2/+14They ***** know. They just act like they don't. They love the attention. They just prtened to live in their perfect LaLa land while they're ***** criminals in back alleys.
- copprman, on 09/29/2008, -0/+12Steve: Let's cut to the chase. There are two kinds of people: sheep and sharks. Anyone who's a sheep is fired. Who's a sheep?
Dr. Zoidberg: Uh excuse me? Which is the one people like to hug?
Steve: Gutsy question, you're a shark. Sharks are winners and they don't look back 'cause they don't have necks. Necks are for sheep. - necroshine, on 09/29/2008, -0/+12Three true :(
- scalemodlgiant, on 09/29/2008, -1/+12I think this has finally convinced me to stop being a pussy and just ask her out.
