If one applies Quantum Mechanics at a macro scale, anything is possible, even if the probability is so small that the universe would have ended by the time it actually happens.

Scientific principles seem pretty useful for them though. [1]

... By the time you extrapolate quantum mechanics calculations to a macro scale, you've already wasted far too much of your life. tongue

Take it from someone who just finished off a quantum mechanics take-home exam. Much pain was had.

Then again, I do know a girl with whom I can crack chemistry and physics jokes...

Goddamnit, why is it that every interesting girl I know lives at least 700 kilometers away?

Odds. You're more likely to come into contact with them the larger the area.

One of them found me by (weirdly) facebook stalking me from a band page, years ago. About 850 km away, driving. (Straight line is like 730)

The other two I have any present interest in are friends of friends met in one-off meetings that I somehow stayed in touch with, as I go visit the town those two live in once or twice a year. About 750 km away, give or take. tongue

Ah well. My life is odd.

[up]"My life is odd." Somebody call me? tongue

But in all seriousness, I don't have anything meaningful to contribute aside from gloating about the fact that I'm actually going out with someone on Thursday, as I'd already previously mentioned.

I'll say this, something I didn't mention before, my mom recalled a time when apparently (this was years ago, when we were still in like 6th grade or something) she came up to my room and saw this girl tying me up in a chair or something. I honestly have no recollection of this at all, but I guess we must've been very kinky elementary schoolers.

Not everything, I think. Quantum mechanics certainly allows for events with amplitude (probability, basically) zero. Just to make the standard example, the uncertainty principle says that it is not possible for the momentum and the position of a particle to be both measured with arbitrary precision.

Hm, I wonder what's the romance equivalent of the uncertainty principle: perhaps something along the lines of

Given two people A and B, let dA be A's uncertainty that B is into him/her and let dB be B's uncertainty that A is into him/her. Then the product of dA and dB is always greater than some fixed constant.
This implies that it is never possible for two people to both have absolute certainty that they are into each other. The more somebody is sure of somebody else's attraction, the more the other person is uncertain on whether they are into them. tongue

[up][up][up]That's not hyper-weird. Sixth grade is about twelve years old, right? Many girls and some boys are probably starting puberty then.

Or you were just playing a game and there was nothing sexual about it at all? Seriously, people, come on, why do all your minds jump to 'kinky roleplaying'? tongue None of you ever played Robin Hood or whatever?

Sorry, sorry.

-Dia hat-

You have to gauge him/her. See how well they react to light flirting and such first, then, depending on the results you get- and you have to be observant here, since it can make or break your chances- you will be able to figure out how quickly you can make a move.

I demanded God to give me an answer about my situation today. After three months of no contact and constant prayers for his safety and him returning, even if it's to confirm that he doesn't want to get back together, or that he does, or just saying "Hey x is keeping me away, I'm fine, don't worry", I wanted an answer about the Josh situation.

About a week ago I met a very cute boy who lives a couple hours away from me. 18, Christian, lonely..I figured hey maybe I should just go for it.

And then I find out that his boyfriend recently broke up with him due to his family disowning him for being gay and because he was diagnosed with testicular cancer; the pressure was too much, and he told the guy that he wanted to be boyfriends, but he needed a break. And this guy refuses to do anything but wait. Mind you, I hadn't brought the situation about Josh up to him.

So maybe I'm reading too big into a coincidence, but I think that maybe I got my message; wait, like I've been doing and like I intended to do.

I think I've found my issue. Can be summed up as "fuckin' teenagers, man."

I got lucky in Man (town). Very lucky. I found loads of people that had a lot in common with me and didn't care about my, ah, condition. That probably isn't going to happen again for a while. So, I just need to sit tight, tell my hormones to sod off, and wait 'till a decent opportunity comes again.
