"We aren't doing that."
The hell, exactly. Are you going to go ask them, in a very calm tone, what, exactly, they ARE going to do about your property that they lost?
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
hrm. I can't really call my bitterness righteous as it was so long ago I don't even think about it anymore. Certainly I retain no strong feelings about him. I have no business being bitter about it anymore. I just, er, get pinged by certain subtle behaviors I guess.Then it is a righteous pinging.
But guys with girlfriends are allowed to make new female friends, right? Otherwise my social life is sorely capped.Oh, that is a whole 'nother thing entirely. I am a firm believer that men and women can be friends. It's the people who are otherwise attached and supposed to be monogamous and then start dating other people...

Yoinks, Cass!

Ha! Don't worry ita, I don't pass any judgment on your social life. Or on Allyson's for that matter. The thing is, I wouldn't blink at DH going to lunch with a female friend because I know *him* and know that it would be just that. I was just, well, pinged by the fact that Allyson found this guy's behavior a bit confusing.

I can call the catalog and see what their policy is but the package was delivered and signed for... And I believe that the property management needs to be the one to fix this. Now, please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's the people who are otherwise attached and supposed to be monogamous and then start dating other people...
But there's no evidence that Allyson's not-date is doing anything of the sort, is there?
That was what I was wondering.
Going for dinner seems to have much more social significance than I ever give it. It's all fraught and shit.
Okay, time to put in my end-of-business eBay bids and head off to the second job.

Grrrrr... Left another message.
Why is this not a very very simple thing? We signed for your package, we were robbed whilst having said package, we will replace the contents entirely. Easy...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well, I asked him out on a date. He sought clarification for this, saying, "is this a friendly thing, or a date thing? Because if it's a date thing I'm happily in a relationship." (paraphrase)
I confirmed it was a date thing, and he said we should go out to dinner because it would be fun to meet up.
So, it's dinner with someone who he knows has a bit crush.
In my head, I wouldn't do that if the sitch was reversed. But as I've come to learn, boys are different.
