    Bad high school GPA...help?

    The short answer is that good grades in college will almost always completely overrule bad grades in high school. Listen to EClaris on the being an asshole about it thing, and on the thing about the secondary school often being a better choice than the first. I was crushed when my first...

    The Friend Zone....................How do you get past it?

    Wasn't aware of/had forgotten the time limit there. Thanks for the correction! "I put it all on the line with this girl twice one time and she was not interested in me" doesn't leave much to the imagination thematically, and I find it pretty odd that you're getting so belligerently defensive...

    USA Customs are policing DVD's now.....

    That it sounds completely implausible and that I'm going to need more evidence than an anecdote to believe it?

    The Friend Zone....................How do you get past it?

    I didn't say you needed to, but it could be beneficial. Phrases like "put it all on the line for a girl" set off alarm bells for "nice guy syndrome." (aka there's no real problem with cutting her out of your life if you have something that constitutes a falling out, but it sounds like the...

    The Friend Zone....................How do you get past it?

    You may want to read the article I linked in my first post. >.> What's the issue with "friend zone?" The concrete, neutral implication (to me, at least) is just that you've missed the "grey area" in which you both either do or could see each other as potential partners.* I don't really...

    From what I can tell: UV-Fluorescent Adhesive: Used to identify that the person may have been involved in the robbery DNA Tag: Used to figure out who they robbed I'm guessing there's either something very easy involved in producing entire chromosomes, or that they're saying "chromosome"...

    The Friend Zone....................How do you get past it?

    If she's not attracted to him, she's not attracted to him. Saying she thinks of him as a friend and not a potential romantic partner is hardly putting him in a box. You'd have a point if not for the total lack of evidence that she ever said that. There's a difference between "I think of you...

    Australian McDonald's Now Spraying Thieves With DNA

    Not sure if the iron wool would do it, actually - you'd have to strip off virtually all of the skin in the affected areas. The only solution I can think of would be covering those areas with a strong DNA endo- (or, less-usefully, exo-) nuclease. Maybe I should patent an endonuclease spray and...

    Apparently spending five minutes addressing idiotic statements constitutes losing one's shit around here. I'll inject coagulant to simulate the effect next time.

    A Sexuality Problem..

    This isn't really something any of us can answer, at least in terms of whether or not you're bi (or gay, though that certainly seems less likely). My advice is to just pretend the labels don't exist and do whatever feels natural. Keep hanging out with him, see where it goes. It's not like...

    The Friend Zone....................How do you get past it?

    What do you do? First off, you read this: http://heartlessbitches.com/rants/niceguys/niceguys.shtml Then, having been had the problems with your current approach explained to you, you stop "longing for" girls, get into social situations, and upon meeting a girl who is interesting to talk...
