The awkward moment when, as you think of asking someone out, you also think about how to react when they reject you. I feel as if I can anticipate every form of rejection, and I can imagine how awkward it would be if I was completely shut down.
"Hey, I like you. Do you want to go out with me?"
Possible responses:
1. You're joking, right? That's not very funny.
2. Well this is awkward.
3. I'm not ready for a relationship.
4. You're not my cup of tea.
5. Uh... I'm uh... not good enough for you... yeeah.
6. What the hell?
7. No.
8. Uh... I'm already taken.
9. Sorry.
10. But I only like you as a friend (fucking friendzoned)
The worst and most likely is probably 11, "I'll think about it." Like, usually you'd take that as a favorable response, because at least they're considering it, right? Noooo, given that it's me, they'll probably be thinking about how to reject me in a nicer way, and the next day I'm going to receive one of the 10 responses above.
What can I say, to make the situation any better? Not much, really.
1. No, I'm dead serious. I actually like you.
2. It won't be awkward if you say yes.
3. Babe, we are closer than just "relationship"
4. Well I'm actually coffee. Try me.
5. But I'm good enough for you.
6. I'll take that as a yes.
7. That's still a yes!
8. Yeah, TAKEN BY ME!
9. Don't be sorry that you love me.
10. ...Yeah, I don't know to respond to this one. I'd probably flip a table if I got friendzoned.
As for 11? Well, idk. I could continue my harassment: "say yes, say yes, SAY YES BIATCH." But then I'd become one of those really annoying people which I hate. Like, they say perseverance is the key, but I'd hate to be a pain in the ass. My odds of acceptance aren't very favorable.
Why do I go to so much trouble just to be completely rejected then? Well, because I'm 18, and I'm determined to do something regrettable, embarrassing and stupid before I leave college. I mean, you're only 18 once in your life, and if I get shut down that bad... well at least I can say I tried.
