The wisdom of the Blackthorn shows her the error of her ways. And keeps her from infused nuclear fusion.

The best option she has is to just apologize to him and explain everything, then walk away from the situation and let him choose. It isn't necessarily a good option, but it's the right thing to do.

But first she has to admit to herself that she was being a total tsundere, which usually takes at least 8 volumes, if not more.Alkarii wrote:The best option she has is to just apologize to him and explain everything, then walk away from the situation and let him choose.

Except this isn't manga. That would be several years in the Wapsiverse at 5 pages a week and several interwoven plot lines.

I've always wondered about the person who plays hard to get vs the object of their desires, then wonders why the other person keeps going elsewhere.

You, sir, must have either really long arms, or have mastered the art of fine print.
But yeah, playing hard-to-get is actually quite often a big mistake, as it can not only be frustrating as hell to the other party, but send the message that whoever is playing that game really just doesn't want to be with the person pursuing them (or anyone at all).

Poor Castella. I feel sorry for her.

I think she's just had That Experience. Most of us have, at one point or another in our lives. It's like a bucket of cold water down the spine... when our own blindness suddenly melts away, and we realize what we've done, and how much we've completely screwed up the very thing we had hoped to accomplish.
It sucks, because we usually can't fix it and we have none to blame but ourselves.
Her situation reminds me of a rather painful Babylon 5 episode, where the hopes for peace have failed and a war that nobody seems to want becomes inevitable: "And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder".

From personal experience, you should NOT play the "he should be able to read between the lines and get the message I'm not sending directly" game with a boy the age of Timothy. At his age, I accepted EVERYTHING I saw at face value and would 100% accept "this is not a date" as being the message. If she wants him to date her, she should not play hard to get otherwise she's just going to keep pushing him away into someone else's arms.

Re: Meet Later 2017-1-11
I don't care what age it's happening at. If the woman tells me it's not a date, I'm gonna act like it's not a date. I'm not going to try to pressure her or force the event into becoming a date. That is a violation of the concept of consent, and I'll be damned if I don't dry my hardest not to mess that up. And if she's too immature to acknowledge to herself that she wants a date, I'm probably not gonna be interested in the first place.Drakkenmensch wrote:From personal experience, you should NOT play the "he should be able to read between the lines and get the message I'm not sending directly" game with a boy the age of Timothy.

Fixed for you. The only difference is, with age, you start realising you just got tricked a bit soonerDrakkenmensch wrote:From personal experience, you should NOT play the "he should be able to read between the lines and get the message I'm not sending directly" game with a boy whatever his age .

Re: Meet Later 2017-1-11
Yea i am thinking she just had her eyes opened via a strong dose of reality. Timmy played it smart to, showing he was open to a date but that pickle chose for it not to be.

Panel 1: Uh oh, oh no.
Panel 2: Oh crap! Pickle no!
Panel 3: Whew! Awww, it'll be ok Pickle.

Re: Meet Later 2017-1-11
Hmmm... I feel there's a possibility that at some point, Timmy is still going to tell Scarlett (one or two t's? Too groggy to look right now) that he doesn't want to be with her. After all, she has been pretty much showing that she believes he is shallow, which anyone would find insulting, regardless of whether or not they actually are.
It's also possible that he doesn't like how he reacts to girls with large breasts, and that may even be part of the reason he wanted to study with Castela in the first place: He won't typically have the same difficulty talking to her.
