Handing out "I LOVE YOU" cards at my college

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if anyone would actually attack you or not but as I said earlier: Have you considered that the 'friends' you find through the card thing could end up being people who think you are weird and just want to manipulate you for a few laughs? Pretend to be your friend and then set you up for a cruel joke. I can imagine some frat type guys who might do that.

Guys smart enough to get into college are totally able to be cruel. Take a moment to google fraternity hazing. While certainly not representative of all college guys, what you are planning to do would certainly make you a magnet for cruel jokes and behavior.

Final attempt-

Drop the "I Love You" card idea. Let go of it now. The hugs idea too.

If you don't, there's a very good chance you're gonna get hurt, maybe badly. Physically, emotionally, or both.

You don't understand the world is not a logical, civilized place. People will rip you to shreds, and you're leaving yourself open for a lot of hurt.

You're dancing on the edge of a cliff, and we don't want you to fall over. You won't?

FAMOUS LAST WORDS.

I know you guys don't want me t get hurt, but can't i find a compromise that will allow me to hand out the "I LOVE YOU" cards? I bet there are tons of ways for me to do it if I get a basic understanding of how to not make this creepy.

There is no way to do this which is not creepy and liable to see in hospital/jail. Sorry, but that's reality.

I know I'm a cynic by nature, but I'm starting to wonder if Stuffed Marshmallow is yanking our chains. This has been going on for a really long time now and it's going nowhere. And his account is relatively new. Also, earlier in this thread he was asking us how we would react if a guy who looked like him handed us an I love you card, but in another thread he admitted that's not him. Hmmm. Either way, at this point I would just give up the whole idea. If you really wanted to do it, you would have done it by now.

Go back to the thread you mentioned, my avatar really is me I say in a later post. The "my avatar is a mixture of me, Franky Munez and Zac Efron" was false I posted.
If you really want proof here is me with the cards (I got a hair cut)

Why not put something else on the cards instead of "I Love You?"

Saying "I love you" to a stranger will be universally interpreted as creepy.

There's no way around it.

I'm done with this one.

You seem to be really obsessed with this idea of the "I LOVE YOU" cards. Whichever way you review your plan the cards seemingly have to be part of it somehow and I don't understand why.

In my mind it would be an immediately obvious fact that you do not love me. Hopefully that's been explained already. Therefore, you'd be making a bold statement that is (in my view) blatantly false. From that point there are 3 possibilities:

1) I think you mean this seriously. I decide that you are either mentally ill or, at best, extremely weird and have no appreciation of personal boundaries and appropriate behaviour.
2) I think you're trying to be funny. I decide that you fail miserably.
3) I think you're trying some kind of psychological experiment. I decide that I'm not interested in participating.

My response would then vary between walking away silently, walking away after saying "erm... NO" and walking away after saying "GET THE f**k OUT OF MY FACE AND GO f**k YOURSELF!" depending on how aggressive or persistent you seemed and how I was feeling at the time.

I realise this probably seems to you like a terribly harsh reaction to something that, in your mind, is quite harmless and even good, but remember: I can't read your mind. You asked what I would do and that is the true answer.

I understand that you're looking for someone similar to yourself, but I honestly think the chances of finding them this way are extremely slim. Think of it this way: the chances are far higher that someone reading this post would say "wow, that's totally the sort of thing I would do, too!" - and so far nobody has said that.

If you do this, you may actually find someone else with unusual ideas of appropriate behaviour, but those ideas will probably be different to yours. For example, consider what your reaction would be if the other person, without warning, grabbed your head and started making out with you. If you're OK with that kind of stuff as well as with being known as the local weirdo, accused of harassment and punched in the face then sure, go knock yourself out (so to speak)!

Ditto. I'm beginning to think StuffedMarshmallow is just an attention seeker. Despite everyone warning him of the likely consequences if he persists, almost like he's trolling/baiting everyone.

StuffedMarshmallow, if you go ahead with this crazy scheme, please feel free to create a new thread telling us all how you got on. Until then, enough is enough.
