      You can have both! I asked her a few times, but she moved away and married someone else, so I’m alone for now! Best of both worlds!

          Sorry, I’m not letting go of my Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

          Yu-Gi-Oh before hoes.

          But if I’d let go first, I’d never have asked, at all. I think you all need to get your bumper sticker advice straight.

          Edited to say: 1.) I’m not bitter, 2.) I’m totally fine with all this, 3.) I’ve so let go. Like, it’s crazy how hung up I’m not.

      For me, it wasn’t fear of asking her out, it was that I had about 3/100 emotional hitpoints left and our respawn SUUUUCKSSS.
