The Girl I Like Won’t Respond to My Emails - Part 2



#2ch

I was wondering this whole time why Denko didn’t reject the OP, but now I think I know.



#OP

Looks like we’re going drinking tomorrow!

Gotta buy clothes now… (´･ω･`)

Would a suit and a necktie be safe?



#2ch

Didn’t she say she was busy?



Don’t you find that weird that she’s suddenly good for tomorrow?



#OP

Well, she’s free in the evening, and cherry blossoms would be in the day, so it’s possible?



#OP

Do you think I should bring a present?

Tell me what would make girls happy… (´･ω･`)



#2ch

No, no presents.

If you bring a present every time, Denko’ll just think OP’s her personal ATM.

Don’t do it, for the future of OP and Denko both.



#OP

I see… So not even a picture of a small animal? (´･ω･`)



Konaka’s open, so I’m gonna go buy a striped suit.



#2ch

A picture? Don’t be silly…

Feeling the warmth of a little creature makes a woman’s heart tremble. Buy hamsters. Nothing but hamsters.

Then stuff them in a box, of course.



#OP

I went to email my brother about trying to be free tomorrow night, but he changed his address and number… (´･ω･`)

I’m asking my mom about it now.



#2ch

OP, girls love sweet things too.

So once you’ve got your hamsters packed into a box, sprinkle the hamsters with about 10 kg of sugar until they’re hidden.

1. Girl opens box and can see nothing but sugar.

2. Hamster leaps out from sugar.

3. Girl is surprised! But hamsters are cute. Heart!

4. OP is so clever. Love! Heart.



Got it? Get to it, OP!



#2ch

Reading this thread reminds me that there are people like this, and reassures me that I’m doing just fine.



#OP

Well, I emailed Denko saying I wasn’t able to get a hold of my brother.

Nothing to really report while I’m waiting for her reply… (´･ω･`)



#OP

ALSO YOU GUYS CALLING ME CREEPY AND HOPELESS ARE REALLY MAKING ME LOSE CONFIDENCE. (´･ω･`)



#2ch

>implying you had confidence before



#OP

Still no reply, so I’m going to send another one.

Post 400 decides the title.



#OP

Actually, you’ll probably say something weird, so never mind. (´･ω･`)



#2ch

You’re being a pest if you send more than three emails without a reply.

Also, you should learn how to have a proper conversation.

Stop trying to push yourself and listen to her more.



#OP

What should I ask? I’ve never talked with girls…

I don’t know what I should talk about… (´･ω･`)



#2ch

You’ve got a completely wrong idea of what “listen” means.



“Listening” is not “questioning.”

What he was trying to say is that you shouldn’t talk about yourself, but listen to what she says.



Also, I said it before, but just be mature and wait if there’s no reply. Patience, man.



#OP

Well, I told Denko to email me when she has the time.

Also, I invited her to just have three of us go if my brother can’t come. (´･ω･`)



#2ch

His brother is definitely looking like the real target here…



#OP

Reading all these responses again, I realize it’s like 70% abuse and 30% ramen…

I knew I was getting teased for not having any romantic experience, but I didn’t quite realize it was that bad…

It’s a bit of a shock… (´･ω･`)



#2ch

Screw you guys. OP’s persistence should be COMMENDED.



Sending massive amounts of emails out of worry!

Buying clothes to improve his appearance!



And I say try even harder!

Send 1000 emails a day!

Girls love men who worry about them!



#OP

Oh! A serious reply at last! (´･ω･`)

Yes, I’ll try my hardest! Thanks for the uplifting comments!



I just emailed Denko about what kinds of clothes she likes men to wear.

Uh oh, I wonder if she’ll figure out I like her…



#2ch

You really must be an aspie if you thought that was serious…



#OP

Oh, since you guys call me creepy and scary, I’m wondering if I should send an email asking if I’m scary… (´･ω･`)

Do people send emails like that?



#2ch

I guess, maybe…

If you don’t at least ask, you might not be able to face each other.

Give it a shot.



#OP

I sent it. Can’t wait for the reply… (´･ω･`)



#2ch

Let’s think about this sensibly.



If I heard an email alert going off several hundred times a day…

Yeah, I’d call the police.



#OP

Well, I’d be happy if I got that many emails from her… (´･ω･`)



#OP

Still no reply… What do I do?

I’m getting worried… (´･ω･`)



But everyone seems to say I should let her send emails to me and just reply to those.

It’s really irritating, though. What makes girls happy?



#2ch

YOU NOT EMAILING HER WOULD BE GREAT



#OP

Hey! Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.



If you’re all so experienced with love, maybe that’s why you don’t understand how I feel…



#OP

I got an email from Denko!

“Maybe a little scary…”

Only a little is okay, right?

I want to make sure there’s no misunderstanding… (´･ω･`)



#2ch

If you want to clear up misunderstanding, send an email.

“Sorry to scare you. But don’t misunderstand. I just want to be friends, Denko.”

Keep sending emails like that.



You’ve already sent over 600, so just sending one at this point would make you look insincere.

So send at least twenty.

Even that might be too few.



#OP

I don’t know about sending repeatedly, so I’ll just send this once:

“Sorry to scare you. But don’t misunderstand. I just want to be friends, Denko.”

Still, thanks!



#2ch

Whoa, man, think about it the other way around.



You’ve gotten 600 emails from Denko.

But all of a sudden, there’s just this one.

Wouldn’t you be uneasy?



If you don’t want to upset Denko, send more!

#OP

What exactly is scaring her, though?

I’m doing the best I can, but I don’t want to be called scary, not even “maybe a little” scary…

It’s really annoying me… (´･ω･`)



#2ch

Even if she doesn’t want to say it, man you’re scary.



#OP

Yikes… Am I really that bad…? (´･ω･`)

It’s not like I want to punch people or kill people out of love for Denko, right?

Please, tell me something I can say to make her happy and not leave any misunderstandings.



#2ch

How about the new teriyaki burger at McDonald’s?



#OP

Okay, thanks! I just asked “Do you know if the new teriyaki burger at McDonald’s is good?”

But if I can really clear up misunderstanding by emailing Denko stuff like that, then my mood might start to turn around…



#OP

So many people have called me scary that I feel traumatized…

But all right, I’ll be careful not to make any more aggressive emails.

Thanks for the advice!!

You guys are so experienced, haha…



#2ch

I don’t think this has anything to do with experience…

Man, poor Denko.



#2ch

Experienced or not, I can’t comprehend how you don’t get things that everyone should know.



#2ch

I know where you’re coming from, unfortunately.



I’m kind of figuring the OP has played a lot of dating sims and such.

In those games, you need to take action for your bond to go up, but…

You can’t go into real life thinking it works that way…



#OP

Yes, you hit the bullseye.

I really have no clue how to handle three-dimensional women.



It’s so easy to confess in games, but so hard in three dimensions…

Now I know that all too well… (´･ω･`)



#OP

Actually… I’m starting to feel like it might be best for me to wholeheartedly confess to Denko.



Is that just me? (´･ω･`)



#2ch

It’s best that this ends soon.

Do it and be done with it.



#2ch

Geez, we told you not to be so forward…



But, maybe you should be more thoroughly crushed…



#OP

My hands are shaking at the idea of a confession email…

This might be a tough hurdle to overcome…



#OP

I’m trying to think about what to write, but other than “I love you,” I’m drawing a blank… (´･ω･`)



#OP

Subject: To Denko



Thinking on it now, our meeting was a cherry blossom blooming in high school.

And now, it’s spring again just the same.



Before I met you, Denko, I felt like I was in a cold winter.

But in the spring, you put a bud in my heart that would bloom into a great flower.

It’s been so long since we were in high school together, but my feelings are just the same as they were that spring.



You’ve helped me when I was bullied, haven’t you, Denko?

Back then, I thought, “Why does this girl not have the wings an angel should have?”

I suppose you must have left them in your mother’s stomach…



Even when we met eyes, I didn’t have the courage.

And we could never talk to each other.

But now, I’m different!

Denko, I know you may not want to marry me yet, but please, go out with me!



Well? (´･ω･`)



#2ch

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME



#2ch

Perfection.

Nothing can be done to improve it.



#2ch

This is worse than the love letter I wrote in fifth grade.



#2ch

I don’t even…



#OP

Well, I sent it. (´･ω･`)

Normally I’m very prudent, but today, with all of your encouragement, I’ve confessed.



If Denko and I start dating, I hope we can read this thread and laugh about it together… (´･ω･`)

Also, since I wanted to increase my chances, I added that no matter what happens, I won’t give up on her.



#2ch

oh god holy geez what in the



#2ch

STOP.

Your chances at dating sit at ZERO!

Jesus, man.



#OP

I GOT AN EMAIL FROM DENKOOOOO!!

I’m too scared to open it dskald;ksa

I guess now I know why everyone said I was scary…

This is making me super tense…

I’ll go wash my face, then look at it calmly… (´･ω･`)

I think I might just have a heart attack…



#OP

Um, she said “sure”… (´･ω･`)

Is this okay? Really?

I’m so happy I could cry…

This is okay, right?

I’m so stunned, I need your opinion…



#OP

She followed it up with “Don’t email me anymore.”

What’s this? And here I thought I knew her feelings…



Maybe dating was too sudden?

It’s hard for me to tell what girls are trying to get at… (´･ω･`)

Is this the fickle heart of a woman at work???

What’s the intent of this email? Someone interpret it… (´･ω･`)



#2ch

Maybe “sure” was in reply to the McDonald’s teriyaki burger, so “don’t email me anymore” was in reply to the confession.



Which means you’re not dating.



#2ch

^ I like this interpretation.



#2ch

Well, let’s see..



“Your emails are freaking me out.

You’re an annoyance.

Please don’t send any more emails.”



…That seems about right.



#OP

If I’m understanding the situation right, I asked if we could date, and she replied selfishly to test me as a man? (´･ω･`)



But I mean, suddenly asking not to email her is REALLY selfish…

Maybe I should wait until her anger has settled?

Or should I try to calm her?



#2ch

No. Stop.

You’re not dating.

You asked “let’s date,” she replied “don’t email me anymore.”



#OP

Okay, I’ll call her, then.

Calling now.



#OP

Nope, guess she’s talking with someone… (´･ω･`)

I’ll wait a bit…



#2ch

oh god



#2ch

OBVIOUSLY SHE’S TELLING HER FRIENDS ABOUT HER NEW BOYFRIEND



#2ch

^ Bingo!



#2ch

^ You, sir, know the heart of a woman well.



#2ch

No doubt she’s waiting for you to call.

Try calling back once every minute.



#OP

I’m redialing as fast as I can! (´･ω･`)



Once I get a hold of her, I’ll ask if she wants to go to McDonald’s to have the teriyaki burger, and ask why she’s mad. (´･ω･`)

Anything else I should talk to her about?



#OP

No good, she’s still talking… (´･ω･`)

I really feel like she’s mad at me all of a sudden…



I’ll keep calling until she comes on!

I’ll report once she does. (´･ω･`) Bye!



#2ch

I’m really starting to read the “Help!” in the title as Denko’s screaming.



#OP

I can’t get a signal here… (´･ω･`)

Maybe she’s gotten wrapped up in some incident? What to do…



Maybe I’ll go to her house, but if we’re dating, then it’s not stalking, okay?! (´･ω･`)

I’m so lost…

Maybe she’s testing to see if I’d come to save her if something happened?



#2ch

We’ve got a Sherlock Holmes on our hands.



#2ch

Spoilers: Denko is wrapped up in an incident, all right. A stalking incident.



#OP

Make up your minds already! (´･ω･`)

Making me overthink this isn’t going to do any good…



I’m going to get ready so I can leave anytime…



#OP

Okay, okay! I’ll go!!

If she’s safe, then it’ll be fine! (´･ω･`)

It’s about 30 minutes to her house, so I’ll take my bicycle.

I’ll report back! Thanks for the advice!



#OP

I just got back, sorry for the late report… (´･ω･`)



I hurried to Denko’s house and rang the doorbell.

Then Denko’s mother came out and said Denko was out of the house.

I introduced myself to her and told her I was going out with Denko, so she said “If you want, you can wait and have some tea until Denko gets back.”

So then I waited for Denko at her house with her mom… (´･ω･`)



#OP

I spent about ten hours talking with Denko’s mother about Denko in high school and her personality and such, but she didn’t come home.

Her mother called Denko’s cellphone a bunch of times, but she couldn’t get through.

Late at night, her mother told me “I’ll give you a call when Denko comes home,” and so I went home. Sorry for the long explanation. (´･ω･`)

Apparently Denko’s out having fun with a friend, so I’m relieved to hear she’s okay.

Also, Denko’s mother was just as nice as her, which surprised me.

I guess Denko takes after her mother… (´･ω･`)

So now I’m waiting for a call about Denko coming home.



#OP

It looks like Denko still isn’t back…

If the thread’s still here when she gets back, I’ll report in… (´･ω･`)
