Why ask me? Clearly there are more self-proclaimed intelligent individuals out there.

Did I specifically call you out, sir?

No, but I'd hope you understand the term passive aggressive.

This situation has zero to do with intelligence. It's to do with common sense and empathy and probably a little life experience. Since we know that not every member here is a teenage boy, what's the problem asking for advice? No one's holding a gun to his head and saying he has to take it - he's obviously just looking for opinions...

Based on the nature of my comment, I am quite certain you understand this well, then.
I know this. I was simply stating my opinion. That's all. Go to other threads about females, and you will undoubtedly find others in agreement.

Edit: But some advice did help the OP, afterall. So that's good, at least.

So what you're saying is that you were intentionally being passive aggressive?

You added nothing to this thread and simply caused an unnecessary rift. If you have some advice to give, share it. Cross thread passive aggressive behavior isn't cool, man.

Also, don't mess with Spike.

Only you can find the answer for this question OP.
Talk to her over coffee and see if anything have changed.

My advice isn't what others normally would use. I just think the OP should consider it strongly. If he is willing to put time and effort into this possible relationship, and if this older individual is worth it all.

To add to this. No one is forcing you to read the thread or the comments, let alone comment on either. If you don't like the topic feel free to skip it. Besides my advice was and is the best advice possible.

While I do appreciate the um...not sure of the word, moral support or something?

I'd rather not turn this into some type of side vs side thing. Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to say you've done wrong or anything, I'd just like as little drama as possible in this situation Thanks

That's perfectly valid advice, and I don't see anything wrong with sharing it. It is indeed a viable option for the OP, and it's good you presented it to him for consideration. Nothing strange about it. Sure, others may not do the same thing, but it doesn't matter if your opinion doesn't flow with the crowd. It's good to present as many viewpoints as possible. In fact, a lot of advice here (including my own) is very similar to what you stated. Only thing was, I was leaning towards breaking it off whereas you seem to be leaning towards keeping it going. Nothing wrong with feeling that way.


I was just messing around, it's settled now anyway.
