Want to start dating but it'll probably hurt my best friend who I'm not romantically interested in.
  • I'm so glad that you posted this. I had a similar experience. My personal goal is to ask some things only twice, and then suck it up and move on.

    The girl I dated in high school broke up with me when college started. A few years later, we were talking again, and we were in the friendship fog. I asked her out again, she said no. That also hurt like hell, but I told myself I've asked twice. Time to move on.

    I actually recently found a journal entry from that night - "It feels like I am king of the friend zone with her, but holy shit it feels so good to have that cleared up, and now I know I have a solid friend who I don't have to worry about dating potential".

    After that she was the first female friend who I didn't constantly have a thought of "...but what if?", and that was incredible.

    Over 10 years later, she's like a sister to me - she was my best ma'am at my wedding, and I was a bridesman at hers. (my wife likes to poke fun at the imbalance here, but we had a small wedding haha)

  • Favorite horror movie?
  • Rec (2007) . A slow night where a novice news reporter shows a day in the life of the local firestation turns into so much more.

    I think there's something about the intersection between found footage and a foreign (to me) film that makes it so much more believable and enjoyable. This is miles beyond the US remake, quarantine. No big name actors here to ruin the found footage vibe. Just a small town news reporter meandering through a slow night at a local fire station.
