Postman3 : Awesome, thanks. I'm about to send you a message about another topic. Your help would really be appreciated!

Postman3 : yeah, this is actually GREAT advice. I do have passions when it comes to politics - higher education and voter registration since those are what I do at NYPIRG. Thoughts now?

I don't know how to prepare for this final exam. Help?

So my professor decided she's going to give us a two part final, one part take home, and one part in class, both of which are going to be essays.

I'm worried because when I asked her if she would tell us the question for the in class part ahead of time so we would know what to expect (and leave our answer sheet/outline at home), she said no.

I'm worried she's going to throw something at me I know almost nothing about.

I have good notes and I've been reviewing, but I feel as if I forgot things & don't have every bit of my notes memorized.

I've taken essay exams before, but those professors have always given me the questions before hand and had us leave notes at home.

No. She never says things like "This may be on an exam."

Help? What can I do?

Postman3 : that's actually a smart idea - thanks!

Oldschool777 : No I think that's a lot of help! Thanks !

Postman3 : So add & message her again or no?

Postman3 : There is plenty of time to get to know people. I am in no hurry. It does not matter whether or not uninterested people escape from my life. Yes, we are good.

tornadocam : Alright thanks. Maybe I will try again - not too sure yet. I mean, she fake added me before, years ago, as I have said, so I'm kinda scared....

So there's this woman who I can't seem to forget about, no matter what, simply because she's so goshdarn gorgeous. Let's call her A.

Years ago, she add-deleted me on my old Facebook account (I have a new one now because I wanted one again) just so my notifications would say she accepted. I guess she either did so because she had no idea who I was, or was because her straight best friend (who I knew - let's call her B), told her about the crush I had on her (B - I had a crush on B at one point too but I got over it eventually, but that's another story)(B probably told A about the crush I had on B at the time).

Both A and B went to middle school with me. I knew but no longer talk to B, but I've never even spoken to A. I found out A and B were best friends through social media.

I recently found A on Tinder and super liked her, so I'm pretty sure she's bi/les/pan like I am, but I never got a notification saying we matched & it's been a while, so I assume she swiped left on me, or doesn't go on often.

I'm at least half sure I saw A in her neighborhood when I was meeting my parents at this restaurant we all loved, but no longer go to (not sure why - they just never invite me to it anymore), or at least someone who looked like her, but I didn't say hi because I wasn't totally sure if it was her or not, and even if it was, I wasn't sure of what she thought of me.

I also have a jacket that is very similar to the one A had in one of her social media profile pictures, but I'm not sure if I should toss it or not because it's in perfect condition and fits me perfectly!

Also, I know a lot of people who are unrelated to but remind me of her because they look kinda similar to her & are culturally from the same area she's from.

I'm scared to add A again on social media because I'm afraid she will reject my request.

What to do? How can I forget about this woman (A)? The thought of her annoys me, especially because as I said, I'm pretty sure we'll never see each other again.

I am usually able to forget about my crushes & I've never had one as intense as this one. I've had this one for years.

Sorry if this is confusing - feel free to ask any questions.

Mynamescox44 : so are you saying that things probably aren't totally obvious and clear that I like him that way unless I flirt or tell him I like him?

If I understand correctly, you guys are saying that I should sit back and if things are meant to happen with someone, they will?

Postman3 : I like this post, but I am having trouble relating it to my situation....also, it's been almost a whole day and he hasn't gotten back to me yet...I only sent one text before I realized he was not going to reply, no double texting here.

Mynamescox44 : also, should I stress it because he never replied to my last text?
I said "Ah, okay. I see. Are you watching the debate? How is it? "

Mynamescox44 : by "utterly obvious", do you mean actual flirting? I haven't done that yet, but I am not sure what you mean by that term in this context.

Mynamescox44 : Well, do you think that I was kinda obvious because of the fact that I asked him for his number, I tried a mobile game/app he told me about (and mentioned that I did so to him and told him what I thought about it), and that I asked him if he wanted to go for coffee with me on Saturday (which he took a second to think about and asked himself what he was going to do that day, but eventually said no to because of midterms, which I can understand because grades come before romantic partners IMO & maybe it was a bad time for me to ask because it's around midterms week here at my school)?

I think those 3 things make it obvious, but maybe that's just me?

Yeah, guess you are right. Thanks

I mean, its not that he responds with just 1-2 words. It's just that we have been texting since like 2 pm today, with gaps of course, (now its almost 9 here) and he only asked me one question a couple of hours ago about something we were talking about. This is our first time really texting, but before I asked him for his number, he initiated a conversation with me on Facebook Messenger, when he was under NO obligation to do so, whatsoever, basically asking me about what I thought about what happened in class that day.

Like, for example, he recently replied to me saying:

''It's for nursing school, actually! I have to take microbio''

That's all he said, when he could have added on and asked me what MY plans are, post-college, right?

But he is good in person though. The other week, we were talking about not litering, since he noticed I accidentally left my plastic sushi tray under my desk, after class, I talked for a bit, and then he asked me if I've ever seen this movie about the environment.

He just hasn't done this via text often....

Should I take this as a sign of disinterest, honestly, or am I being too harsh and thinking about it too much? If I should stop wasting my time and energy with him, I will.

I was a bit rude to one of my former professors in an email, asking her when and where I can meet her on campus to have her sign some forms because I'm applying for an internship course late. I had to email her because I did not know where her office is and what the hours for it are this semester.

I told her what forms they are and shot her some screen shots of the forms.

She did not agree to meet with me to fill them out, so I made an appointment to meet with the head of her department, NOT to complain about the fact that she rejected my request, but to politely ask the head if I can meet the head, which I did, to get these forms filled out, with an explicit "Can you do me a favor?", a please, and a thank you, as my profesoor suggested I should when talking to someone in the future about these things.

I learned my lesson. I apologized to my professor a few hours ago and told her I apologize for the misunderstanding and that I didn't mean to sound demanding (she told me I did) and now I know I need to explicitly and politely ask for a favor when I'd like one.

I don't know if she's upset over this, but I feel like I was being rude, from how she responded to me, when I didn't mean to be at all, honestly.

However, I may need to contact this professor again this semester because I want to get permission to use some of a paper I wrote for her class in a paper I'm going to write for a class I have now.

I mean, she seems like a very nice professor. I've seen her in office last semester when I had her, I got a B in her class, and my friend is Facebook friends with her, but I can still sort of see someone being like, "What??? Not her again!!!" if they were in this situation and I emailed them again.....

My question is, given these circumstances, should I ask, or not, honestly? Did I honestly kill my professor-student relationship with her? I don't know how she feels about me now, but maybe I'm over thinking this?

Also, if you DON'T think I should talk to her again, fine, but I MAY need help finding a work-around for my paper.

Ah, okay. Mt. Battle it is, then! Thanks.

I need help with one of the final battles, Cipher Nascour. If you don't know which one I'm talking about, the battle is here and my comment, asking for help, is there too:

Where do you think I should train more for this battle? My Pokemon are like 10 levels under his. I just lost, but I shut off my game cube without saving so I wouldn't waste more time and money in the game (I saved right before the four battles before him)...help for next time?

I beat the people right before him with ease, but I didn't like this battle!!!!
