Hm, guess it takes me 20seconds of courage to ask a girl if I can give her my contact info ^^ which is really rare. Though some girls really have issues with saying no *sigh* or just accepting my offer and throwing the stuff away aftterwards, but instead giving me wrong stuff O.o

And another 20secs (some more tbh) of courage was prolly when some friends and me were involved in a car accident, as someone was driving too fast into a curve and losing the control of her car, nearly crashing into our car, scratching a van behind us and doin a high roll into the fields (looked like a freakin matchbox-car doing a 2m jump).
It is amazing, hoch much adrenalin rushes into your body and how clear everything suddenly is. telling the driver to stop, immediatly deciding who does the emergency call (as nobody was really that familiar with the area but one new a bit more) and then getting out of the car and fucking doin anew WR in running.

The dozens of psychological experiments on that subject would beg to differ.

I'm in 8th grade but I agree with the first post that proposing to your girlfriend is probably the craziest and at the same time best 20 seconds you will ever experience. I have been in love before and really it's a beautiful thing..my 20 seconds was when I was in love with a girl back in 6th grade and I finally told her after 6 months. Worked out for several months until the middle of 7th grade, and we're still close friends today.

There was also a time back in 4th grade when I was getting bullied all the time, all year, and in about the middle of March when the kids were bouncing a ball off my face I decided I'd finally had enough and ran over and kicked the leader's ass. Needless to say, it stopped after that.

For the record I also got in huge trouble for kicking the guy's ass but it was worth it, I had considered killing myself several times that year.


nothing past the first bold was worth reading. but the 2nd bold is where you are already wrong.

you have not been in love...ever.

Come back in 10 years and chances are you have never been in love still.

not sure if trolling or just 13... >.>


Sometimes adults forget what it feels like to be a kid. Just because he is young doesn't mean that his feelings are any less valid or real. He could be confused, I'll admit it but he could also have really truely been in love. As we aren't him we can't see through his eyes so only he could ever know for sure. I'm married and have two kids with a girl that I was "in love with" when I was 11 years old and am still very much in love with. In my experience, younger people are more in touch with their emotions (i.e. love) because they haven't had years of experience hiding their emotions from a cynical world full of people like you who are telling him what they are really feeling. You know nothing about him other than his age and already you are an expert on his heart and emotions, enough so to know him effectively better than he does. WTF dude.

If you're gonna make a claim like that, you better back it up.

was hanging out with a girl late at night at the university commons area. we were sitting on the couch together. both of us said we needed to "study." we had our books and notebooks on our respective laps, and she randomly asks me "are you gay" (rofl i have no idea why she would ask such a thing, don't ask) I decide, alright, she's shown the signs, all the signals are there, if i do it, what do i have to lose? a few minutes of embarassment? i lean in, wrap my left arm around her back, right arm around her head, and kiss her in the lips. she kisses back. after about 20 seconds, i said, "no, i'm not gay." and we've been going out ever since.

fuck embarrassment. fuck hesitation. just go do it. and if it doesn't work, what have you lost? a potential friendship? would that friendship have even gone well? what about all the other potential friends out there? or a few minutes of embarassment? who fucking cares? if it doesn't work out, you're never gonna see her again. it was good practice anyway.


holy shit that's baller
