hey everyone I have this girl friend who ive been crushing on pretty hard ever since she broke up with her boyfriend. we hang out alot and get along really well and I was planning on making a move soon. The other night there was a party at my house and I was really drunk and texting her jokes and stupid poo poo. Well at one point I was quoting memes to her and figured she implicitly understood I was currently in joke mode and texted 'im gay', there was a long pause and she sent this text that was so large it came in over 3 messages. Saying how brave I am and ill always be her friend and shell love me no matter what. I tried to explain it was a joke but I think she thinks I just got cold feet and tried to backpedal. how the gently caress do I get out of this one goons.

I wish this wasn't a gimmick account because I want to see someone repeating the "I'm gay" meme crash and burn like this, it's among SA's worst and most boring.

Does it even count as a meme if it's only really seen on GBS anymore?

OP you can't back out now or you will totally lose her respect. Either you come off as insensitive, a waffler, or a guy who doesn't really "get" himself. All are bad. To pursue your chances you have to literally become gay, (if you are not already) and not merely pretend like a poser. Women see right through that. Ride the respect and admiration of bravely being who you are (or chose to be hehe.) You also can gain a lot of intimacy because she won't think you are trying to game. Keep things on this course steadily for 1 to 2 years.

Then later on you can "find God" and go to some Christian retreat where they use hypno and electric therapy to "cure" you. Of course it might not work and once you have made the transition, there may be no coming back...

On that point some might say making the first transition is impossible. I am not weighing in either way, however you may still have hope, be it is a thin wire to walk fraught with peril.

This is why you never talk about SA to people in your life because the conversation would go like this:

"No no no, you see I'm not actually gay, it's just a thing people who are part of this online community I belong to say as part of a standard response which could have any kind of emotion attached to it, kind of like 'sounds good' or 'this is boring' - it keeps you guessing as to how they might feel but is much faster to type than actually having to express any kind of sentiment in regards to a subject. You get acknowledged faster."

"So if someone posted about how their mother died and they were upset, you would say 'I'm Gay', but if they posted about how they just got married and are really happy, you would also say 'I'm Gay?'"

"Yeah! It's pretty quirky, heh."

"What if a person posted about how they were gay?"

"They would post in D&D or E/N hahaha."

"You are a god drat loser."

Hi, been a lurker and didn't really have the courage to post, but I'm at my wits end with my girlfriend (let's call her Chris) and her immature behavior.

Some background: So I first met Chris in a group of friends. She was fun, tomboyish, smart, and well-versed on the internet which I found particularly striking. She spends a lot of time on reddit, 4chan, and knowyourmeme. At first I found this hobby mutual as I'm a frequent internet user myself, except I started noticing that Chris would bring it into the real world.

For example, Chris has an obsession with memes. She has memes posted all over her wall and is very active on meme based forums. I understand they make her laugh and that it's not too concerning, but she brings up memes ALL the time. And I mean all the time. Even when we first started talking and flirting she'd bring up socially awkward penguin. At first it was cute, but then it got annoying fast when I realized she did this constantly.

My girlfriend doesn't abstain from meme usage, even when we're having sex. Whenever we spend this time together, she starts moaning doge memes like "such sex, wow" and it really kills the moment for me. Like really? Is that even close to appropriate? Maybe she wants to relieve the tension, but does she know when to draw the line? Even reading that over made me sick knowing that Chris is usually 100% serious about those things.

I tried bringing up her inappropriate usage of memes after my father died and she literally sends me advice animal memes that say 'don't be sad' but my dad just loving died could you be more sensitive and not send me memes? I said that straight to her face yesterday and she started crying, and I feel awful but it was just really irritating for me.

Basically, every time I bring up her habit, guess what- she just brings up memes! It's impossible to fight with her reasonably and I'd hate to end our year long relationship over something so trivial like this and I need advice. Do I stick with her or not? The reaction to my dad's death was the final straw for me and I've been ignoring her messages, texts, which yes, do contain memes.

Sorry for making this long, I'm having a bit of catharsis here. I know GBS loves its memes and I might get flamed for this, but it's an actual problem and I need help dealing with her. Throwaway because yes, she is on SA. I'm thinking of showing her this board once I get enough advice to show her that her "harmless" jokes actually get on my nerves to a serious degree.

tl;dr: Girlfriend uses memes in real life, acts immature about them, and doesn't understand context... I'm really at my wit's end and need advice on if I should break or try to work this out. Please help.

Memetarded girlfriend.

Tell her that you think she is smart and funny when she is being herself, and you want more of that rather than the memes.

Also a good tip for conflict resolution is to use mirroring. For instance, in an argument it is useful to pepper your response with the same words and phrasing used by the other person as this shows them that you are actually listening and how your points connect to what they are saying.

In this case you should try to explain your feelings using memes, and in addition to showing them to her yourself you should recruit your shared Facebook friends to share some (don't let her know you did this).
