What's with all the drama loving going on? May 11, 2007 12:05 PM Subscribe
Annon posts a question asking if a guy likes her. The thread is 4 days old and still open. Annon posts a new question asking the same thing. Why was that allowed?
It's springtime and love is in the air... ♥ ♥ ♥

Jess is busy, but suggested moving the followup to the existing thread. She read "last week" and took it at face value. Four-day turnaround on anonymous followup questions is definitely pushing it to the breaking point.

It's allowed because it's sweet and cute. That is all.

I don't really think it's either sweet or cute, and anon doesn't really seem to think so either.

It is not really a mystery. The OP's situation is one all mefites can appreciate and comment on. Even the engineers among us can dig a personal interaction problem.
Ok, some engineers.

Also there is nothing cute about this phrase I am constantly being told that I have a fresh and untouched energy.
This must be what dudes are using as the new "You have such an old soul."

Yeah - do people really say that? Constantly? They constantly say that? Has that phrase actually been used to describe a human being? Because it sounds like something I would say about a really nice salad.

zomg! Did he brush against my boob or did he make a move? WHAT NOW? (quick please, I am hiding in the bathroom typing this on my blackberry) More inside! [more inside]

I've met his mom but she made a weird face... WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Sorry about the length!

Inspired by spec80's comment, I propose a mashup between askme and twitter.
Now, obsessive questioners can get relationship advice in realtime from the waiting hive mind...
For Example:
7:15PM AM ON DATE: ORDER CHEAP SALAD OR EXPENSIVE STEAK PLEASE HOPE ME?
8:00PM TIP: HIM OR ME?
8:15PM SHOULD I GO BACK TO HIS PLACE?
9:00PM HE WANTS TO WATCH VELVET GOLDMINE, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
11:00PM WHERE CAN I FIND A CAB ON THE EAST SIDE?

haha this reminds me of BJ Novak's comment about Cadbury creme eggs saying that "No they haven't gotten small, You've just gotten bigger!"
If that was on purpose, kudos.
