This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But don't think that life is like a 90s romantic comedy and go full stalker.

Nah break into her house and raid her underwear drawer, you'll seem quirky.

Yeah, I just said try again, and not again and again and again either

I have never seen one person who didn't take the first no, who then proceeded to understand any of the other noes. Them throwing an adult tantrum and promptly leaving is the good ending. Maybe ignoring any answer you don't like isn't brilliant advice in general.

Or maybe you could just try and be a human being, not an overly simplistic social algorithm, and try to understand whether there's actually any realistic chance for that no to become a yes, and how.

Social interactions are complex and this kind of reddit teenager "wisdom" is completely inadequate.
