I'm a young lady and an older gentleman joked that I am awkward 'like a school shooter'. What exactly would he mean by that?

[dustybiker]

“School” would imply learning. I would assume he was saying you don’t know much about the topic at the time. Whatever it was you were doing.

[Jd94htrkkr]

Your answer makes zero sense.

[Jamie05rhs]

That was a really rude and inappropriate thing to say. He's a jerk. If I were you, I wouldn't talk to him anymore.

[Goo6nytk]

I had a huge crush... on him... I cry over how much I love him

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww.

[Goo6nytk]

Saw a man at a new job... a customer... Had his eye mvoements, even wore a hat like he always did, probably from the same country tbh, i went to the backroom and tried so hard not to ball into tears.

[Jamie05rhs]

Aw 😟

[Goo6nytk]

You ever felt that way?

[Jamie05rhs]

Honestly, no; sorry. I got my heart broken early in life, so I don't really get emotionally involved like that anymore. Yes, I have feelings; but I keep them on a leash.

[Jd94htrkkr]

I was heartbroken too. didn't stop me from falling in love.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Jd94htrkkr That's good! I'm glad that you weren't broken as badly as I was. 💜

[Jd94htrkkr]

He destroyed me. Can I ask what happened?

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww. 😰. I'm so sorry. 🥺

Well, in my case, what happened is I was a young boy just entering puberty and I saw a girl and she was just so beautiful that she blew me away, and I fell in love immediately. But we were only 10, and she didn't like me anyway. So my love letters made her feel uncomfortable, naturally, and the teacher stepped in and I got in trouble and I got sent to the principal's office and received a major scolding.
So, I left her alone after that, but I didn't really learn anything. I mean, I learned not to talk to girls and to keep my feelings to myself. But I didn't learn any skills like how to navigate attraction properly. So I'm still just as clueless.

[Jd94htrkkr]

Thank you for your sympathy 💗 that sucks man... I know boys should be taught by their fathers but also in this crap world people act like the principal and just ridiculous. Your experience was eons earlier than mine! I was older when the worst one happened. But i was not taught how to deal with anything either. So it was my mistake.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Jd94htrkkr Thanks! The thing is, I do have a great father. But he is older, so he is from a much earlier generation. He couldn't really help me with dating tips, because the times have changed so much and the rules have changed. Not his fault.

(Also, my dad was not a womanizer or a "ladies' man" or anything like that anyway. Not sure if he even dated anyone before my mom.)

[Jamie05rhs]

Both of my parents did teach me to respect women and not be a douche, though. (And I haven't been.)

[Jd94htrkkr]

I am old fashioned so if its what I'm imagining, your dad did a good job and it sounds like everyone else was wrong.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Jd94htrkkr Wow; really? 😮. Thanks!

[Jd94htrkkr]

Yes... Old fashioned is the good way. Courting and being a gentleman, saving for marriage, etc. Typical stuff but many are just not shown the way by elders or anyone and are taught how to be aa dumb as possible. you're welcomes

[slatyb]

You can’t be as awkward as that remark.

[Avicenna]

Only he knows. It makes no bc sense to me.

[AsaKyo]

That's a terrible "joke" to make

[TheBigGuy9]

Cast away. On the outside looking in

[Goo6nytk]

Wow how nice of you

[Danny_dan92]

He’s a dick

[Goo6nytk]

But i was in love with him secretly
