Does This Qualify As An Ask-Out? Mustang Part 84682
An untold story about Mustang. Back when I was unemployed, I’d have a day or two of complete misery. I’d find myself at the gym, completely uninterested in working out, and looking downright depressed. Mustang had picked up on this at one point, and I poured my heart out about how useless I felt.
He was really sympathetic, and kept trying to tell me that something would come along soon (I HATED it when people said that. Fuck you glass-half-full assholes). Then he said “To cheer you up, I’ll take you for wings sometime.” I can’t remember my exact response, but I either changed the subject, or said “sure….sometime.”
I dont’ think that’s a real invitation out. That’s saying sometime, in a galaxy far, far away, we’ll go out. There was no commitment there. It was a wussy way to do it…where if I said “no”, he’d be able to convince himself he didn’t ask me on a date. It required zero balls whatsoever.
I brought this up when I was out with a friend last night who we’ll call Andrew. He says that was a full-on ask out. Can my readers weigh in on this please? Was it an ask-out, or a cop-out?

Cop out.

What a wimp. You nailed it - no commitment there. You need a real man like Marty.

I love it when people agree with me.

What was he supposed to say? I’ll bend you over the Bowflex machine right now?
He saw you were downtrodden, and in an attempt to cheer you up, mentioned he’d like to cheer you up by taking you out for wings. He said “Sometime” because obviously you were busy at the moment.
God girls are gay.

cop out as obviously indicated by the fact that you havent gone out for wings yet and youve been gainfully employed for two months
however you were unemployed for 3 months was it???
my consensus remains that construction worker
pharmacy boy and mustang are all obscene wastes of time
which makes me wonder if you like the drama that idiots cause
because you yourself are relationship phobic
maybe deep down you really like being lonely
and yes
i just psychoanalyzed you on your blog

@ Desire, I think Darcie should have a post where we all psychoanalyze her.
@ Teenwolf, “God girls are gay”, whatre you 2 years old? Come back and post when your age breaks into double digits. Its obviously a cop out because when a girl is down like that half assed moves are no good. You make a bold move, or dont make one.
@ Darcie, Im all drama. When youre ready, give me a call.

Who the hell is Brett?
Don’t fucking come here and tell me about how to make “moves”. Anyone who uses the term “moves” is a douchenozzle who lives in the “apartment” in his mothers basement who wears a popped collar under his bedazzled Affliction t-shirt to go out to tha club to pound Vodka specials and hopefully pick up the chubby girl with a tramp stamp to take her home and “rock her world” with 7 minutes of uninspired dry humping on your couch while listening to the fresh tunes of Nickleback.
Now go away and let the adults have a conversation.

Dunno, seems kinda weak but it would kinda depend on your reaction too. If he suggests date like activities and you shut him down he’s bound to be a little gun shy…

Finally a little of the old banter we are used to seeing on this blog. Game is back on.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:56 pm
its delicate; he sees you every day. He didn’t pussy out, he just didn’t value you to the degree that would allow him to throw caution to the wind and go for it. He might really want to date you, but he’s not going to walk all the way out on the limb or his status relative to you will plummet after a no. I’m no fraidy-cat but i’d do the same thing. Same thing with Co-workers, it has to be approached delicately, and when the invite is a bit vague and harmless then it is an unspoken gesture of respect to the girl; “now you know I want to see you but I’m skipping the awkwardness and, since I see you almost every day, i’m giving you a way to step away without feeling guilty or uncomfortable”. If he saw you less frequently and in less proximity I would say he’d propose a date very concisely, but you are in his face all the time, it just makes sense to me.

douchnozzle is my new FAVOURITE word
thank you Teenwolf
as always your post was truly inspirational

We’ve learned 3 things today:
1. FitDarcie seems to be overly demanding of men, not settling for a shy man clearly making an effort to ask her out, but rather, demanding that he step outside of himself to do so on her terms so that she can use his supposed “cop out” as a cop out, herself.
2. It’s easy to gain support from blog readers who are fighting to date you and discredit the supposed object of your affection
3. This “Andrew” guy sounds smart. Real smart.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Wow. Thanks for all the comments guys. I watched them all come in. You guys don’t need me at all.

Glass half full people are lame. They need to finish their damn drinks.

@Teenwolf, Ooooooo I think I struck a nerve. Is someone self concious about not having pubic hair? It’s ok, Ill sell you mine. I love how you went on that long rant to try and get back at me, and ended with “now go away and let the adults have a conversation”, yet neglected to say anything meaningful in that post. Was your brain maxed out from all of that? Fingers tired from an activity other than jacking off to pictures of Zac Efron or whoever the hell it is you boys fantasize about these days? And what kind of name is teenwolf? How about using your real name, kiddo? And dont even get me started about the moronic irony inherent in a little bum who got his hands on mommys laptop and uses teenwolf as his name, lecturing a self made man on adult conversation. And change your avatar. You look like a gay captain planet (and he was pretty fruity looking to begin with).
And if you must know, I moved out when I was 16, and I live in my own house, I dont drink, and I dont go to clubs, I have no idea what the hell Affliction is, I only listen to jazz and I dont dry hump. Now, itll probably be past your bedtime when you read this, so I look forward to your response next week, once you and your buddies have a sleepover, craft your response, check out your male classmates on facebook and touch each other, and then drink a glass of milk and go to sleep. Which is where, Im guessing, that first tirade came from.
@Dave, I agree with you. Considering he sees Darcie at the gym all the time, he cant go out and ask her because it would be embarrassing to see her at the gym all the time. I reconsider my original assessment of cop out and say it was a half cop out.
@Darcie, Why dont YOU ask him out? Gender equality right?

Oh Brett, I must apologize, I didn’t realize I was talking to a “self made man”. Good for you! I’m really happy for all the success that you have had.
Now it’s Friday late afternoon and I’m about to go home, make supper, drink a bottle of wine and make love you my beautiful girlfriend. I realize this isn’t as fun as the evening you have planned, sitting on your Ikea couch my yourself, counting your money and watching Law & Order re-runs…but it will have to do. Gosh, I wish I was a self made man like Brett too :(
Have a good weekend you lonely pathetic loser.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
*and make love TO my beautiful girlfriend.
October 23rd, 2009 at 5:50 pm
My weekend plans include using the word ‘douchenozzle’ in a sentence with people I don’t know.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
@Teenwolf, make love? How old are you? Seriously, I can no longer take anything you say seriously anymore. Are you even legal? And I love how you said “make love to my beautiful girlfriend”, but seriously, who’re you trying to convince? Me or you? Sounds like you. But its not fair to include her in this because she cant help the fact that youre an imbecile.
Dont watch law and order, dont have ikea furniture, and dont count my money (its what banks are for idiot). Where are you getting these generalizations from anyway?
October 27th, 2009 at 8:50 am
I keep seeing these comments come in, and I just don’t know how to respond. You guys seem to be doing ok.
