So let's review, mun...

You've screwed things up so badly this time that not only am I confused, but you're confused, too. You thought you had everything - including me and my relationships with two girls - figured out.

But you didn't and you still don't.

Look, at this point, somebody's feelings are probably going to get hurt and you know who I'm gonna blame? You. You had to go and do things like get me assaulted with flying mistletoe to force what you thought were going to be "hilariously awkward lip locking moments." Yeah, well, good job. They were awkward. One way more than the other because of all my ex-girlfriend issues.

Seriously, how about you stop messing with things and leave my love life alone? Just let me try to figure this out on my own, okay?


PS: Your plurk display name is just plain wrong. Knock it off.

oops i accidentally

I'm afraid it's never that simple, even when left to your own devices. It's a luxury to have someone to blame other than yourself.

[samgoinggreen]

[She knows who at least one of these girls is.

Her initial inclination is to threaten him, tell him not to break her heart lest he face the wrath of a twenty-something red-head. But eh. Clover likes him, so she'll play nice.]

Just be honest with them. I doubt this is their first rodeo.

...GODDAMMIT

[deusrexmachina]

[ACK.]

[Okay, keep calm. At least you didn't mention any names. This will be okay as long as that continues to be a thing. NO NAMES.]

Y-Yeah, I'm kinda getting that impression. I'm not even sure how this got to be a problem in the first place, to be honest.

[deusrexmachina]

[OH SHI--]

[It's not his fault! He's not even sure how this all even got started! WHAT IS GOING ON ANYMORE.]

Er, yeah. Maybe.

Well. I think for one of them it...kinda is, though.

[Because that mistletoe kiss? WAS HER FIRST KISS. ...YYYEEAAAHHH.]

[disneyface]

Rex! You aren't cheating on someone, are you?

[5dontlie]

In need of some advice, Machine Boy?

[adarkfallenstar]

Trouble in Paradise?

[deusrexmachina]

[KLJDFHLKJSF]

I--what?! NO! How can I be cheating on someone if I'm not even dating anyone to begin with!?

[disneyface]

Then what? You're stringing two girls along? That isn't right either.

[And here she thought you were better than that, Rex.]

[deusrexmachina]

[He's got such a huge headache about now... Oh man. Not sure about this, but...]

Given one of the people in this weird triangle is the person I would have gone to for advice? You know what? Yeah, because I can't ask her and almost everyone else I know is even more clueless about relationships than I am.

[Not!Dad and Not!Mom are right out. They can't even get together with each other. Big brother thinks you can use math in make out sessions. And Uncle #1 and Uncle #2... Well, Death and Xemnas. SPEAKING OF MATH, DO THAT AND SEE HOW IT DOESN'T WORK.]

[ink_check]

Since when do our mundanes ever give us a break?

Still, that's a rough spot to be in...

[deusrexmachina]

No! I told them both a while back that I wasn't ready for another relationship because of the whole...ex-girlfriend...thing. I mean, jeez, is it wrong to want to hang out as friends with them or something?

[WHY ARE GIRLS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND? ANNIE. YOU ARE NOT HELPING. /SOB.]

[5dontlie]

Okay.

[She shrugs. Six has asked her for advice. She's also volunteered it. Of course, it may or may not be relationship related. She can handle it. She's a professional.]

So, give me the rundown.

Let me know what I'm against here.

[deusrexmachina]

...a little tough to find trouble in it when I'm not even there to begin with.

It's just trouble, period.

[airtempered]

A... complication like this is far easier to fall into than it is to escape, I'm afraid. No matter what you choose, someone will be hurt.

[deusrexmachina]

They don't, but I'm hoping she's confused enough that she'll actually back off this time. I don't think she knows what she wants, even. Not that it should matter what she wants, since it's not her social life.

Yeah, I...don't know what to do about it. This would be a lot easier if I was still taken. Or if I didn't like one of the girls. Or if one or both of them didn't like me.

[disneyface]

Is that all you're trying to do? Be friends with them?

[Trying to understand girls is a difficult thing.]

[adarkfallenstar]

Well, in matters of the heart, I find it best to be selfish.

Who do you like better?

[deusrexmachina]

...guessing you're speaking from experience?

[Probably, Rex. The guy is more than twice your age.]

[pineapplesalmon]

... It's still weird to think of you being old enough to have a love life.

[deusrexmachina]

Well...yeah. I've been giving one of them private bending lessons since before I lost my girlfriend, but I'm Ascended. Helping newbies is part of the job and I've had other students before. Not all girls, either.

Both of them know what happened with my girlfriend, that...I lost her a little while back and that I didn't want to date anyone else for a while. I wasn't ready to move on, you know? I don't really treat them too much differently from my other friends, either. And except for the mistletoe incident, I haven't kissed either of them. Not even on the cheek.

[airtempered]

[Almost four times your age, actually.]

Unfortunately. Though truth be told, it might be for the best that you make these mistakes while you're still so young.

From what I've seen, you're a good person, Rex. And as much as you may want to make sure both girls are happy, you mustn't put aside your own needs to do it.

[deusrexmachina]

[Not at all surprised, Darkstar.]

I...don't know? Both of them have a lot of good points.

[deusrexmachina]

Yeah, well. I'm almost eighteen, hermano.

[sixthdeadliest]

This is why I try not to get involved in romance.

[At least he's not popcorn.gif'ing?]
