Interesting Story, I kind of feel bad for this guy

[MyTeamSupreme]

Hey /b/, I'll tell you what happened to me last night.

I know this girl who I've liked for a very long time. No, I'm in love with her. We've been friends this whole while and last week, she was very depressed. I told her, "Let's go to a movie, I'll make it fun for you. We'll make it a date." She said yes and even added that she'd love to go out with me!!!

I was over the metaphorical ****ing moon.

So on the day, yesterday, I went to the cinema early and bought the tickets. I got the seats I wanted - 3rd row from back, middle two. Still a few hours to go for the movie.

She shows up and she looks really pretty, even better than she usually does. We decided to grab something to eat before the movie started and the whole time, I'm making jokes and she's laughing her head off. I was pleased with myself because she was enjoying my company.

The time comes and we start walking across the mall to the cinema. As we're walking, I hear her say "Jake!". This confused me a bit. My name isn't Jake. I wondered why she said that...

Turns out, she was looking at a tall guy, definitely handsome and he was standing a bit further ahead.

Emily flipped (oh, her name's Emily) out when she saw him. It looked like some sort of a short circuit or malfunction. She then explained - as it turned out, Jake over there is her ex boyfriend. Until a week ago. That's why she was so depressed. She was in a bit of a panic, like her feet were frozen or indecisive.

After a minute of this she says that she's going to go over there and have a quick talk with him and would I be so sweet and wait here? I said, movie's going to start soon and if he's the reason you're so upset you need to stay away from him. "Oh, it'll only be a quick word, promise." Kissed me. She kissed me, /b/, she ****ing KISSED ME, though it was a quick one, and quickly went over to Jake.

Right, so they're talking over there and I'm just standing around. As is customary in situations in which I am uncomfortable or embarrassed, I started playing with my phone. I glance up and I see she's suddenly very... animated. She seems angry and is scolding Jake, Jake is trying to be calm and to calm her down. This went on for a bit.

By this time, the movie has already started, or it's probably the adverts, but I hate being late for a movie. I hate being one of "those people" who block everyone else's view because I'm the late idiot. But for her I was willing to be that late idiot.

Then, I see Jake and Emily coming towards me. Uhm, squirm. Not a very comfortable position to be in. They come over and I see Emily looks... different. I wasn't liking this. She comes over and she's really sweet to me suddenly, she says, this is Jake, meet Jake, isn't he such a nice guy.

And in fact, while talking to Jake in the little snatches of conversation, he actually WAS a nice guy. Everyone's a nice guy these days, it seems. He just happened to be a tall, good looking nice guy.

She goes on, listen, hey, this is really important, I really need to talk to Jake, it's so important...

Uh...

She continues, hey, sorry I'm going to have to go with him, but hey, I'll make it up to you, but since our plans are canceled now, why don't you give Jake your ticket, I'm sure you wouldn't watch this movie alone and I'm sure it's not that good anyway, right?

Oh god.

So she kept trying to get me to give my ticket away even though I said I'd still see it alone. But she got a bit animated and kept pressing me to give it. So I did. I gave my ticket to Jake, and her face lit up and she was suddenly happy again. She put her arm around Jake's arm, they turned and walked off together and I hated myself. And I still loved her.

Why do we allow this to happen to us, /b/?

Some broads are absolutely disgusting.

 

[RedZone]

Yea that's pretty awful

 

[Mr. Goods]

That guy sounds like the old Mr. Goods from a high school, who had no idea what was going on. The Mr. Goods of today - honed by the forum and experience - would have either:

1.) Told her to enjoy the evening with her "ex" bf and I'd walk away the moment she wanted to talk to him and cut it off with her...probably to the movie if I really wanted to see it lol.

2.) If it got to the point where she wanted me to give him the ticket, I'd rip it to pieces so I can do this right in front of them, watch her smile change to sheer sadness, and then walk away and cut if off with her.

I agree though, that girl is awful. A disgrace. I know of a girl back in my HS who was the exact same way. Disgusting.

 

[f283000]

I refuse to believe that story is real even though I know it is and it has happened countless times to countless guys.

It's even scarier realizing that it could have happened to you if you had never learned about sites like sosuave and had remained a nice guy all your life. I'm not ashamed to say it would have happened to me. There's countless guys out there that women will walk all over for not coming into this truth.

Just like there's a murder every couple seconds so there is a woman that is walking all over a man every couple seconds.

Listen to me fat boy,

Your life will be a lot easier if you do what I'm about to tell you. When you hear a girl say she is on the rebound, just broke up, thinking of, or depressed about her exboyfriend, do yourself a favor and RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. Never ever get involved w a chick on the rebound. Only if you see one at the club and you have sex and that's it. Forget it, it cost you ten dollars to see who she really was. NEVER contact her again, if you do, you are the biggest puvssy on these forums.

right brother. But all of this basically goes back to guys

a) not having any other options so they get oneitis
b) having the mentality of getting "a girlfriend" (singular) rather than spinning plates/gaming multiple women

Both really stem from not talking to women. If you don't have any other options it's because you're inside your house playing video games rather than sargin and meeting other women.

 

[Real Talk]

Skeezer.

 

[JerryFl08]

Wooooooow i woulda probably ripped the ticket if i was in his position. Fortunately my AFC days are gone for the most part, i can't say i have achieved 100 percent don juan.

but it's just like f283000 says, this all basically ties up into not getting any other options. Having different options is key to not getting into that ****ty feeling of oneitis, and we've all been in that position and it blowsssssssss.

 

[Julius_Seizeher]

I would have sold it to him, for $1.00 less than retail so as not to put myself out of business.

Ah, the economics of romance.

But this story is definitely cringeworthy though.

 

[kingsam]

haha mug

 

[shqiponja]

I find it hard to belive this pathetic story is real, specially btw it's written.

I am not saying that this **** can't happen. In high school I would have done the same thing if the girl I loved asked me to give her the ticket.
Afterwards I would have blamed myself for not being good enough for her to pick me.

 

[scribblec]

yea what i would of done is rip her ticket up in front of her eyes and drop it in front of her, then turn around and go watch the film on my own lol **** giving your ticket to some dude whos going to **** the girl you were orignally going to take out. **** that

 

[JdelaSilviera]

Although nothing similar has happened to me, this almost makes me sick. Though this is likely to happen a lot, most men should literally give their penises to women and get themselves a vagina...

I do admire my uncles and grandparents, as I see the respect my unts and grandmothers had for them, they were real men,now this generation is a joke really.... Now every guy thinks it´s normal for women to have the power IT ISN´T,they are weaker than us in every possible way, their ONLY advantadge is their abundance of possible choices....and who is giving abundance to them..men! IF you are an AFC do yourself a favour and start having higher standards..... THAT`S THE WHOLE POINT of MYSTERY "BEAUTY IS COMMON", your mentality should be being beautifull is not enough for me.... I have seen that in the moment women start losing their beauty their respect for men highly increases, if women have no one chasing them they become as desperate as the nerdiest of the nerds .Actually if women happen to be in a situation that most guys have to deal as norm, like competing with several men for one women, they will completly freak out of their minds because they are so so weak. I can tell you that in high school my class was almost 80% of girls. You should have seen their desperate atittude fight for me and other guy... In that situation I could see how easy it is for the average women the dating scene, and why they don´t respect men.... In that time i couldn´t respect girls either because they were just too easy.... .

Also the idea that men are the shallow sex is completly false. In high school and college years (where no money is involved), I have seen good looking friends falling in love with almost obese chicks because they were smart and fun... you never see the opposite happening.... The hottest chicks only can date muscular, or guys with gorgeous eyes (have you ever noticed that the only physical attribute you need to make 90% of women melt is gorgeous eyes)...or of course players but they are such a minority... Honestly, although I´m not the type of making women suffer, I couldn´t care less about the hot chick who has her heart broken by her cheating boyfriend, or the big player.... many times, I would say they almost deserve it....

 

[CuriousGirl]

What a *****. Doing that to anyone is harsh, I would be so ****ed off (especially as I love films) definitely tell this guy not to bother going out with her again, as a friend or date.

 

[jnice48146]

I would've smiled ear to ear as I tore that ticket up! Then I'd have looked at her in disgust and said "GOOBYE!". No need to ever talk to that one again! I'd say this guy was lucky to not have invested all that much into this BYTCH to find out just how she really is. The $ for those tix was $ well spent.

 

[SBW]

I am not saying that this **** can't happen. In high school I would have done the same thing if the girl I loved asked me to give her the ticket.

Yes this happens and I've had similar happen to me before.

So what really? Sounds just like what happens if we meet an ex when we are in the company of another woman. If there is anything still there, it can stir up their feelings a bit, or even ours and get them sparking off each other. As mentioned above, dealing with anyone just out of a break-up or on the rebound can be fraught.

And in those situations, yes, I'd have given the guy my ticket and bid them a good evening together with a smile and a handshake for him and absolutely no resentment, then walked away and not let them see any kind of reaction. I'd also let her stew a while before answering (if at all) anything from her when she bothers to get back in touch.

 

[jophil28]

NO wonder most of you guys get screwed over by women . Not one of you correctly addressed the situation with an appropriate response. It seems that you all do not have your response contingencies in place should a women disrespect you.

Forget all that threatrical BS about ripping up the ticket...

That woman's behavior was atrocious. It was a slap in the face for the guy who took her to the movies after HE bought the tickets.
She and he had been "friends" for years, yet when she accidently ran into ex b/f Jake, she dropped her "friend" like a hot coal, and then further insulted him by demanding his ticket for Jake!

IF I were in his position, the following would have happened after Emily spotted Jake and asked me to wait while she chatted to him.

Emily, " Be a sweetie and wait while I just talk to Jake."
ME," Nah, I came here to see the movie and that's what I am going to do .."
Then I would walk away with BOTH tickets and take my seat.
Afterwards, I would lose her number.

 

[2crudedudes]

Eh, this comes from 4chan so I'll take it with grain of salt.

However, the veracity of this particular story doesn't negate the possibility (and likelihood) of this happening to others. I know I've always been too proud to even stoop down to this level, but I know at least 1 guy who would have actually done this.

This particular guy was sterile more or less from childbirth, yet when his wife got pregnant (with a co-worker's child), he actually stuck around to see her give birth. He couldn't let her go in her moment of need! Uh, sorry bro, but that's just plain retarded. Let the slvt deal with her bastard child.

 

[HariPoter13]

Funny thing is, she isnt even 'in love' with that Jake guy; she is just infatuated with the idea of having a tall boyfreind she can showoff to everyone.

 

[Kailex]

IF I were in his position, the following would have happened after Emily spotted Jake and asked me to wait while she chatted to him.

Emily, " Be a sweetie and wait while I just talk to Jake."

God damnit.
I was locked out with the 10 post thing and I was going to post the SAME thing.

This situation should have been over as SOON as she WALKED OVER TO HIM.

He stood there the whole time watching this happen and had to endure them coming over to him. As soon as she walked away, I would have just went in and seen the movie by myself. By the time she would have looked back over to me, there'd be no one there standing anymore.

I'm damn near apalled at some of the comments about "ripping up the ticket" or "I would have given them the ticket and walked away"... REALLY? You'd let it go THAT FAR?

And 4Chan = Fail.
