serial muse Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 ... it's that thing where you grind up Bayer or Excedrin into your ground beef before you grill it. Ahhh. . . I don't think so. I get the sense that the guy in that video is fully self-aware of how he is perceived and how his actions are making his targets feel, and is probably pretty decent at interpreting and reacting to both the overt and subtle social cues that they throw off. I think all of this is completely missing in the OP's case. ============================================= We are now at the point in this cycle where posts will tend to fall into one of four fairly well defined categories:The poster unfamiliar with this OP's history who stumbles unknowingly across this "new thread", and thinks - awww, sure - it might be sweet that he would consider buying a small gift for a favored classmate, you know, if they had a good time in class and they're good friends after the semester and all...The poster familiar with a bit of the OP's history - maybe just this latest cycle - who answers the question simply and earnestly: "No, don't do that; it will seem weird."The exasperated poster who promised himself that he wasn't going to post on the OP's threads any more, but like a moth to the flame couldn't resist the siren-call, and with the best of intentions just had to try one more plea for sanity - one more attempt to draw back the curtain and shed some light, one more appeal to reason - but then afterward, inevitably ends up feeling dirty and pathetic at having broken the promise to himself once again, like when the time comes to pay the hooker...The poster who has indeed given up and resorts to clever, humorous, sarcastic, satirical postings as a form of entertainment, sometimes even giving the OP a little push nearer the edge. (Extra points and much respect, though, for pushing the OP in a direction that may result in an advantage to this cycle's unfortunate target, and/or helps minimize the discomfort to her, e.g. that he shouldn't consider anything less than a $100 gift card. Brilliant on that one!)I no longer hear the song of the sirens. I have moved on from Category 3. Hi, I'm Trimmer, and I'm a Category 4 onegoal poster. This is very true. And, as with the stages of grief, sometimes a onegoal poster keeps cycling through these categories.
Nexus One Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Ahhh. . . I don't think so.

I think all of this is completely missing in the OP's case. I don't think it matches One Goal's behavior either, just a video that pokes a little fun at the whole atmosphere in his threads in general.

Cracker Jack Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 ^Wow, nice find. That's pretty weird. Wonder if he gave her the gift card yet.
somedude81 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) lol did you hire a P.I. or something? Yeah, the kid has issues. There's also some stuff out there if you google his real name, which I'm not going to post as it violates his privacy, but it is easily found. One Goal, I really wish you'd get some help before you end up in jail or ostracized from society. Edited July 26, 2011 by somedude81
Author one goal Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Today I just texted her about the assignment. Anyways I told her to wait up after next class so I can talk to her and say goodbye. Her reply was "There is nothing to say." WTF is that all about? Isn't that kinda rude? I mean I wasn't rude to her. Why would she reply back like that? How is she going to react when I give her my gift then in class? Will she reject it infront of everyone and embarass me?

Can you find out? Maybe you can "hand-deliver" flowers to her at her place. How romantic!
somedude81 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Dude are you even reading the posts in this thread? Why do you continue to post here? How is she going to react when I give her my gift then in class? Will she reject it infront of everyone and embarass me? If I were her, that is exactly what I would do. Shout and make a big of a scene as possible. Edited July 26, 2011 by somedude81

How romantic! You might have to search long and hard for her address, but take heart. The harder it is for you to find, the bigger the impression you will make when you do get it and she sees you at her front door!

And then: I'm sad for you. The answers here are self-evident.
oaks Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 How is she going to react when I give her my gift then in class? Dunno. Do let us know how it goes!
Trimmer Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 One Goal, here is what you need to do: Girls are all about the gesture. So when you give it to her, give it to her in front of the rest of the group. Preferably in front of the rest of the class. REALLY ham it up to her in front of everyone else how into her you are and how you're hoping this will make her like you just a little bit more. What did you wrap your little gift in? Hopefully you put a big red bow on it! Points OFF for suggesting he do something that will obviously make his current target more uncomfortable, embarrassed, etc. You certainly are living up to your screen name.

How is she going to react when I give her my gift then in class? Will she reject it infront of everyone and embarass me? Yes, most likely. Both you and she will probably end up embarrassed. She will be defensive and you will think she was rude, but you won't understand it. You will need help from a professional to understand this. Please comment on this: Have you ever been evaluated for a possible mental illness? And no, I'm not saying this as a way to insult you. Personally, I've had dysthymia for a very long time and it's something I'm fighting to get over. If you want to start getting better with women, you need to find out whatever issues you may have and work on fixing them.
Cracker Jack Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 He's going to end up in serious trouble sooner or later. You can already see it. He's sick. She basically told him off, yet he's still going to give her a gift? Dude, get help.

Yeah, good point... I revised my advice and instead suggested that he just show up on her front door. I like to go above and beyond what I advertise myself to be

Professor X Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Hi, I'm Professor X, and I'm a Category 4 one goal poster.
oaks Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 We cannot help you understand this. You will need help from a professional to get to these answers. I think that a lot of his questions are rhetorical anyway, especially the ones he keeps asking and keeps getting answers to. It's just a stream of thought, or a rant, rather than a question wanting an answer.
Lucky_One Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Come on, guys; he's had security called to make him leave an usher at a hockey game alone, a restraining order against at least one celebrity, at least one police report against a local student, and also is an avid gunman who enjoys shooting and also purchases a lot of guns. Please don't egg him on. Imagine if this was your sister that he was obsessing over. Would you really appreciate some stranger suggesting that he stalk her to her home with flowers??

Please don't egg him on. Do you really honestly think he's been serious about these posts and that they're 100% real? I highly doubt it. With each passing week that doubt only grows higher and higher. NO ONE CAN BE THIS DUMB. It's a clever charade, a troll act. Like I said, I'm not doubting there is a cute girl he has a crush on, but all these scenarios are made up and certainly embellished. The more we troll him back, the less encouraged he'll be to keep up these games. I think he enjoyed it a lot more when people were actually spending precious time trying to help him or understand him better. If we all troll him back, eventually, he might even stop posting these stories altogether.
RovingReporter Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Gather strands of her hair and make a doll out of them and present it to her in class.

Imajerk17 Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Seriously? I hope one goal gets banned. Yet the powers-that-be here really seem to be lax on this whole moderating thing.
Lucky_One Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Yes, I think that he is a real person. There are too many threads on too many forums that all have the same details - too many to really be able to keep the stories straight this well. In my eyes, there is far more proof that he is legit than that he is a troll. And so I think it is far safer to err on the side of caution, and NOT egg some guy on who really seems as though he has some personality issues that could put a totally innocent woman in danger.
Imajerk17 Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 The safest thing would be for people to ignore him completely, but well...
