At my high school, I am infamously eccentric. I wear tin foil as clothing, loudly voice my support for the ideas of Malcolm X (despite being white), rap and argue for fun. I am not a wigger before that comes up; I wear tye-dye and sometimes a fez. I am beyond conventional subculture. I act this way because I hate the town I live in (the locals were cruel to me before I did any of this so I decided that I would act strange to annoy them.) For the last couple of years, I've been spending my school days with a czech immigrant who believes he's the next Nietzche and a Buddhist kid. I was fairly content with the arrangement until I decided to reclaim my heritage by converting to Judaism. My two ex-friends are apparently extreme anti-semites. Now I've decided to assimilate into mainstream culture but I'm not quite sure how to do it. To say the least, I have a reputation. I hate the locals but I think they will treat me better than these two jerks. I also have a crush on a black girl but I'm afraid of coming off patronizing because of my previous black power rhetoric. This is a strange situation and I dont know how to get out of it.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
