Pretend to Drown to get hot lifeguard’s attention?

[Anonymous]

Would this work? Would he be able to tell if I’m faking? And would he maybe ask me out if he thinks I’m hot?

[Riggers]

This idea is 50% stupid, And 50% illegal.

It won't make you more attractive, it won't make him fall in love with you, it won't make him want to ask you out, it will make him think, ''What the fuck is she doing pretending she can't swim''?

And when he is inevitably forced into to pull your pathetic butt out the pool, And its obvious you were faking it, im pretty sure its illegal to do that. you're distracting a lifeguard for your shitty little quest of attraction when he could still be looking out for other people who may actually need help, People could actually drown just because of your crush...

Life isn't a movie, He won't heroically run over, Pull you out, kiss you, date you and you both live happily ever after, Lmao

I’m 20 and I’ve never had a boyfriend, nobody cares; I have a few friends but they don’t really love me that much, my parents hate me, I’m miserable. I’m desperate, if I don’t find somebody by the time I’m 25 I’ll Kill myself, I may tie a cement block to my ankle and jump into the deep end, that way nobody can save me because it’s useless.

[Riggers]

Dating is not this hard for a girl... You could get a boyfriend within a week if you actually tried.

[Asker]

No, I’m ugly and no guy will want me. I do try, I changed my style, I use more makeup, I eat once a week to be thin, I try to talk to boys in my classes and they don’t seem interested

[Riggers]

Again, Its just genuinely not this hard for girls to date, I genuinely know girls who from societies perspective, Are very unnatractive, Whether that be obese, bad smell, ugly, whatever, And they all date just fine.

Its really not this hard. You're just probably going about it badly. As i said, If you actually played it right, As a girl, You could have a boyfriend within a week with absolute ease.

[JZ909]

It would be hard to fake, based off of what really happens, and instinctual, nearly uncontrollable urges to survive.

I'm sorry you're so lonely. All I can say is that you're not alone in being lonely at all. I was lonely and depressed for most of my late-teen to mid-20s years. I spent years thinking through ways I was going to off myself, because it was the only thing that gave me enough comfort to go to sleep. As I've grown older, my social life isn't a lot stronger, but I've become more comfortable with myself and while I do get lonely, it doesn't strike me with the intense misery that it used to.

I hope this brings you a little comfort, and if you need to talk, shoot me a message.

[fauchelevent]

That'd be really stupid and dangerous. Whilst he's looking after you and your fake emergency, someone else could be having a real one and you'd put them at risk. Also, if he's seen people at risk before, he probably knows how to tell if you're faking it and you run the risk of pissing him off for distracting him from his job.

[EmmaMary]

I would seriously think that he would consider you stupid and irresponsible, for whilst he's wasting his time in "saving" you, he might have been desperately required in a real life or death situation.

[MayBlythe]

Not really known, but you can actually be fined for doing that

[Asker]

Fined? For getting a boy to fall in love with me?

[MayBlythe]

For pretending to drown

ex lifeguard here
who would slap the shit out of you
and ban you from pool if someone else got screwed up with this distraction from the real deal

the ones that caught my eye, won my heart were the ones that
helped me maintain control over their wild friends
hung around my stand, not distracting, just mutually friendly chatter
doesn't hurt to wear stimulating complementary outfits
eventually you'll know the time to ask him out after work, swim suits or not... drive him to a park, park makeout 1st date = a winner, as I recall

[andreasderjuengere]

Firstly, I think that all guards had been in this situation before and don't feel too amused about it any more. Secondly - what if your 'flirt' keeps him distracted from doing his job and as a result someone loses his/her life? I bet, you find a better way to get his attention.

[Dartzlink]

How old are you? This is immature. While you're faking, there might be someone who actually needs help... If that person dies, then, you're responsible.
Grow up and just talk to them. They know that girls are looking at them and they will be pleased to hook up with a hot lady.

[Asker]

I am 20. I’ve never had a boyfriend and I desperately want one. I feel like nobody loves me, Hell I may actually tie a block of cement and drown myself because nobody would care and the hot lifeguard probably wouldn’t be able to do anything because I’m ugly.

[vald9inches]

i think its cute tbh it really reminds me of the scene from the film sandlot

[Asker]

I’m thinking more romantic than that sandlot scene.

[madhatters4]

this isn't the sandlot

as a lifeguard i can tell you romance doesn't blossom this way. if i found out a person did this in an effort to meet me i'd be rather turned off.

if you want his attention walk up to him and introduce yourself

[Asker]

Would you be able to tell if someone is faking?

[madhatters4]

most likely yes. it would be pretty clear in how they were behaving and what they were like once you got them out of the pool. just approach him

[slatyb]

That is a seriously bad idea. It will get his attention but not in a good way. You're an adult. Just ask him out. How hard is this -- "Hey, would you like to get a drink when you're done here?"

[vald9inches]

you mean like this! ;)

Hanging out by the lifeguard station might be a better way to get his attention. If you try faking a drowning he may think you're a ditz.

[Asker]

Could he tell if it’s fake? If so I may actually let myself drown

[zagor]

Your chances of getting asked out are better without causing false alarm. He probably takes his job seriously and wouldn't appreciate the fakery.

[Asker]

Can it be easy to tell if someone is faking or not?

[zagor]

Drowning isn't an orgasm...

Please give up on this idea. Wouldn't it make more sense (and be a helluva lot more impressive to him) if you went up to him and ASKED HIM OUT.

[Asker]

I wouldn’t because a hot guy would never accept, I am ugly and no where near a model type of girl that guys like, I’m 20 and have never been on a date.

[zagor]

So what makes you think that pretending to be drowning would make him overlook that? Let see, she's not attractive, AND she makes a mockery of my job and possibly endangers someone else who might actually need help. Or, if you did fool him, she's a shitty swimmer who doesn't have the sense to know her limitations, hence has poor judgement.

Better keep this a fantasy.

[Asker]

I’m not making a mockery, I genuinely want to have a hot guy save me. I have a female friend that is a certified lifeguard and I told her I wanted to do this and she didn’t get mad, she’s like: “sorry I may act on instinct and save you instead”

[zagor]

Well, think of me as a hot guy trying to save you from making a fool of yourself...

[Asker]

. I have 5 years to get a boyfriend or else I’m going to commit suicide.

[Sebo6000]

Please don't do that.

[Sebo6000]

Not even if the undertaker is a hot guy.

[zagor]

Maybe you would have more success if you didn't limit your sights to the hottest guy around.

[ravedave]

Instead of doing something immature that ONLY works in the movies, just go up to him and talk

[FrenchyRomain]

no, you would literally take his attention away from his job : and in the process someone might ACTUALLY need him

[Catholicgirl22]

He'd probably be pissed

[Asker]

Why?

[Sebo6000]

Because you faked you're in danger.

[Catholicgirl22]

@Sebo6000 yeah picture calling the fire department to get a date with some hot burly fire fighters and an orphanage burns down across town.

[Sebo6000]

Exactly.

[truthbeknown]

It worked for Squints!

[LeaLee]

That's a very stupid idea though

[Asker]

How is it stupid?

[LeaLee]

Cause I think people like that will know when someone is faking it, and he will be so pissed

[Asker]

How could you tell if someone is faking it?

[BadAnswers]

not like in the movies

[CarlosF]

Absolutly. Go for it.

[Anonymous]

i think that's actually a felony

[Asker]

How can it be a felony? It’s ruining the romance.

[Opinion Owner]

im pretty sure it's a felony. i dont know. any cops on this site, know if it is?

[Skullpool]

If you are actually hot, you don't need to do that

[Pineapple_Boy]

Never cry wolf

[crazyandy]

Don't b a fool
