what d’ya mean trying to ‘hit on her’? I wanna be friends with Guinistasia, not her lover. Geez. But, ok I’ll try to lay off a bit, sorry for any embarrasment or inconvienience. ---

Ye gods! Me thinks you’ve got a way to go before Guin let’s you be her lover young fella! Only the select few have that privilage bestowed upon them. 🙂 ---

No, way are you out of my league, with my birthdday coming up in a few months, and who says just because of age you’re out of my league? And if this is too much do you wanna become good friends? ---

You don’t know what I’m even asking, so don’t go out of your way to make assumptions when you don’t even know my intentions, I asked about who were the people who have had the pleasure of dating Guin, thats all. ---

And It Is Extremely Bad Manners To Ask Her In Public. It’s also probably not a good idea to ask her in private either. I’m not making assumptions here but you’re not following the social cues either. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ryan\_Liam \* > \*\*What am I coming across as? \*\* Like a yappy little dog - desperate for attention and extremely annoying with it. Also a little creepy. You are not coming across as someone one would enjoy being friends with, never mind anything more, because it’s difficult to be friends with someone who’s constantly yapping and jumping around your ankles pleading for attention. Calm down, take a deep breath and try being yourself instead of waving the ‘look at me’ flag quite so enthusiastically. ---

**Ryan** : Stop. Wait a while. Lurk, don’t post, because anyone who’s read this thread will just think “Oh, he’s that creepy guy who was after guin like that…” That’s not how you want to be known. Lay low for a while. Don’t email Guin because I can promise you you’ll be disappointed by any conceivable answer you get. If she wants to get to know you better she’ll email you, and then you’ll see what I meant about playing it her way. But above all, chill. ---

Hey, leave me out of it! Ryan, step away from the thread, go hang out in MPSIMS for a while. Chill. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Tansu \*: Dude, you sound like Smeagol. > > _Ryan\_Liam_: It didn’t get banned did it? I just have to say that this exchange has made this entire ridiculous thread worthy of existence. **Ryan\_Liam** , I’m sure you’re a nice guy, and I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely right now. But your posting habits go against the unwritten rules of this message board. The biggies are: **Only post if you have something useful to add** , and **Only start threads if you think that _other people_ are going to have something useful to add.** In other words, threads about the random shit that happened to you today is generally not considered okay. That’s why we have LiveJournals. If you want one, I am sure that can be arranged. The SDMB is read by thousands of people, and stupid threads just make people roll their eyes and clog up the server. The MB is not about you. Next time you start a thread, seriously consider how many people are really interested. And hijacking a thread to pick up chicks (most of whom don’t even live on the same continent as you)? Both pathetic and annoying. BTW, I have more posts that you _and_ my registration date predates yours by several years, so you are required to do what I say. ---
