So...random question for anyone who's attached currently...or has been attached in the past, I'm not picky!

what's the best way to ask someone out?

that isn't "just go up to them and ask". I've tried, it don't work.

...asking for a friend, of course.

Did asking not work because they said 'no' or did it not work for another, less obvious reason?

Dearest Quicksilver,

I agree with Parker, could you elaborate on what exactly went wrong?

That said, I've always found a direct approach to be the best.

If they are not interested, you should respect their wishes.

Sincerely,
Aziraphale.

He's trying. It isn't easy, but this is a welcome distraction. ]

Uh huh.
Did your friend realize their crush might see this?

All I needed to do was read this sad text to see what "your friend" did wrong.

Where's the energy? The spectacle? The passion???

A boring confession might as well be a side of rice.

Nobody eats just rice, dude.

Nobody.

You've gotta spice it up! Make sure that even if they turn you down, they never forget you!

Give them the full course of flash!

not here

[ Riku has definitely eaten just rice... ]

not here

[ Aziraphale eats just rice sometimes... ]

I wish I could help...but the last person I was attached to was the one who did the asking. I'm actually pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff.

It really depends on the person...well both parties really. Afraid you're going to have to give more information if you're expecting actual helpful advice.

Though...if you tried 'just asking them' did they say no? Because that might be a clue to you right there.

@darkness (im so sorry)

[evulsed]

You mean you tried and got rejected?

That's so pathetic.

If your friend did ask, I admire their courage.
Takes guts to talk about how you really feel.

[mellowyellow]

Oh wow. I never realized.

Darkness, you poor thing.

[techtype]

I haven't asked. yet.

hasn't worked in the past tho.

Quicksilver,

Married with kids, here. Kind of an expert.

It really depends. What's your crush like? What do they enjoy? There's no one way to ask or one way to know for sure they even like you back. That's what makes love so beautifully frustrating.

Re: @riku; text

[techtype]

yeah, but I'm not naming names, so it's fine.

[Besides that, the crush in question might not even be here anymore.]

[originallutece]

Just tell them. Either they'll reciprocate or they won't.

[evulsed]

Realized what?

You're really not one to be giving advice around here. You're just as pathetic as him.

[mellowyellow]

That you'd never even had the chance to live!

It totally makes sense that you're a raging dickhead now.

I can't even be mad anymore.

[evulsed]

Don't project your own ridiculous shortcomings onto me.

[mellowyellow]

It's okay, I don't blame you. You've never experienced the joys and terrors of real living!

But don't despair! You are not abandoned!

In fact, I'll even offer up my infamous expertise in this once in a lifetime opportunity!

I, Masaomi Kida, will teach you, pitiful edgelord Darkness, how to love!!!!

[techtype]

of course

nothing's gone wrong yet, that's why I'm asking for advice.

and yeah, i'm not going to end up a stalker or anything. I can take a hint.

[techtype]

noted.

that shouldn't be too hard.

[evulsed]

[ Somewhere, Vanitas lets loose a riotous peel of laughter. ]

Your delusion is seamless, and you don't even have the excuse of the endless night to blame yet.

It's no wonder you died, thinking such weak thoughts like that.

[techtype]

I've already outed myself by posting this

[He's regretting not posting it anonymously.]

i don't want to out the other person too.

I haven't asked yet...I've gotten flat-out rejections before like that.

[techtype]

I guess it can't hurt to try, if everyone's saying it.
