It pained me to watch you hit on my friend last night. She flat-out told you to buy her a drink, and you did. She made up several lies about not having a phone number to give you, all of which you saw through. But you still wanted her number. She stumbled over a fake number, and you called her out on it, but you still wanted her number. She was rude and made fun of you to your face, BUT YOU STILL WANTED HER NUMBER. I don’t know whom I was more embarrassed for. Her, for acting like such an asshole; you, for being so damn pathetic; or me, a fun, genuine, and good-looking girl who sat alone all night long. recommended

  1. Ah, such a wonderful reminder of what your 20’s look like. Wait til you get older… people don’t think it’s funny to be an asshole, guys gain some self respect, and you don’t look for love at a bar.

  2. Wait until you’re older… then (most) girls don’t think it’s funny to be assholes, (most) guys develop some self-respect, and you won’t go looking for love at a bar.

  3. Hey wait: you’re a fun, genuine, and good-looking girl sitting alone at a bar? What’s your number? What’s your number? What’s your number?

    Feel better?

  4. Sitting alone is a choice.
    You could have reached out to anyone else (unless the place was empty).

    Or if you wanted the guy who wanted your girlfriend then you should have just made some moves.

  5. You’ll all idiots. Him for chasing after someone who clearly wasn’t interested. Her for trying to give a fake number instead of having the intestinal fortitude to simply say, “Sorry, I”m not interested”, or “Sorry, you’re not my type” and ending the conversation. And then there’s you, silently hanging around someone hoping he’ll be interested. Shit or get off the pot. Tell him you’re interested or better yet, move on to someone who shows some interest in you and who isn’t so obviously a douche.

  6. “You’ll all idiots” i’m starting a band called yallaidots who wants to join? it’s punk fusion folk rap metal. . . Goth

  7. @13 Hey, how about those assholes’ wedding last week? Weren’t they assholes? What an assholish wedding! I bet lots of idiots were asking for each other’s phone numbers at that incredibly assholish wedding. Assholes!

  8. Darlin’, I actually DO sympathise with your frustration and (dare I say it?) pain at being a wallflower while an idiot fawns all over a girl who’s acting as though her shit smells sweeter than is typical but trust on this- You dodged a bullet, You did not actually want to so much as share a dance or a drink with this guy. Men (and women) who wallow in being treated shabbily tend to be serious downers if you’re a right thinking, down to earth, kind, fun person.
    You were, I have no doubt, in far better company on your own than either of the two you describe can claim.

  9. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn…..

    Oh, sorry! I must have dozed off for a minute. Could you repeat the question, Archie, Betty, and Veronica?

  10. I’m with MacGruber @12. Flash your boobs, but only if you’re prepared to ditch your friend, take the guy home, and screw him silly. @20 is probably right that the guy is a loser, but if you wanted to fuck him, you should have just offered.

  11. It’s inherent with my experience that people (all people) are stupid in some capacity. When these people have general lack of social skills, or desire to discover the truth behind the lie and get drunk they turn into what you saw. Personally. Tell your friend that she needs to be a little more direct with men who flirt with her. Seriously, your friend is a bitch.

  12. you don’t have to come and confess, we’re lookin’ for you, we gon’ find you, we gon’ find you! so you can run and tell that, run and tell that, run and tell that, homeboy, home home homeboy!

  13. 1. Make some new friends.
    2. Stop expecting to meet nice guys in bars.
    3. Being passive and sitting on a barstool all night instead of circulating and introducing yourself doesn’t make you an object of pity, it makes you a tool.
    4. Boofuckinghoo.

  14. @32: where the hell does she mention being overweight? trust me, a lot of women go unnoticed by men even if they’re skinny. I’ve seen it.

  15. @27 easier said than done! if you’ve been direct and gotten angry man response, i.e. “fuck you bitch!” right in your face for a simple, “no thanks, I’m not interested,” it makes it a little harder to risk entitlement wrath from a drunken stranger.

    *some* men feel a pretty girl “owes” him.
