Being "nice" to weird types is the high school equivalent of ignoring
Not always - give people a chance.
She doesn't even know me.


People don't have to know you in order to be nice to you. Just being within proximity is enough reason for someone to be attentive, courteous, and nice.


Great answer! (I feel like it sounds like i was being sarcastic but i was not)

People who are friends started out not knowing eachother

You know what I think? I think you're being a real dick to that guy, by whom I mean YOU!! ! Why are you being so mean to him?

What did you ever do to you to deserve that kind of treatment? You think you have a right to abuse him, just because it's you? Why should it be different than abusing any other random person?

If you talked about anybody else like you did about yourself in those letters, what would people say?

Look, you can lose nothing by talking to this girl. If she ignores you/ isnt nice, just move on to someone else.

Actually being nice to wierd types isnt the high school way of ignoring some one. Ignoring someone is the high school way of ignoring someone. Trust me it happens a lot.

Just talk to her, it shouldnt be that bad.

As a female, if I responded how that young woman responded, it would imply I might be a bit curious about him - I don't call people smart if I don't mean it! It means she's noticed you, and given her messages, SHE doesn't think you're any of the things you say you are. So, give her a chance to maybe be a friend?

Also, edgewaters is brilliant - if you wouldn't treat someone else that way, why would you treat yourself that way? Have as much respect for yourself and your individuality as you do for anyone else! :)
