This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"If"? What kind of question is that? You either want to go out or you don't.
I think you dodged a bullet there.
It's just a way of preventing direct rejection. If I ask you out and you say no, you're rejecting me and I feel bad. If I ask a hypothetical and you say no, you rejected the hypothetical, not me.
It's stupid, but sometimes that helps people work up the courage.
it's not stupid, it is a shield for the person, it never hurts to have protection.
