No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

To ask the most obvious question first: Does the girl know you? Is she aware that you exist?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Oof. Hadn’t considered the possibility that OP might be a stalker.

I thought you were being an ass, at first. Sometimes I'm a little slow.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I was reading along, with the thought in the back of my mind that "On the Street Where You Live" was written to be a whole love song that never uses the word love. Now of course you have me thinking, it's kinda stalkery.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Here’s a dress with pockets

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Or regular pants with (deep) pockets. I know women who shop in the men's department, solely because of the pockets

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

You are a mad genius. Every pickup artist on the planet just became obsolete. :-D

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago

Are you actively in a relationship with her? If not, then don't. Love and infatuation (which I honestly don't mean any negative connotation by) aren't the same thing, and telling someone who you're not dating that you love them is almost always going to be unwelcome.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"I'm in lesbians with you" is the obvious one

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I told my partner "I love you" when we started dating and they responded with "that's gay". We're both gay.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Man, you're gay

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

funny, but also, did they try to avoid the topic or saying it back with a humorous distraction?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Well, they weren’t lying.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

Tell her more words than those three. The three are important but also overused. Tell her what you feel when you're together. Or what she does that is special to you. Or character traits you find amazing and why.

Show her that you actually see her.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand. Why not just say it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

OP probably wants to let her know without needing to fear rejection.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Seems like a necessary risk in a real relationship in order to go further. Otherwise, it seems manipulative to me.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wherever she asks you for something, just reply with “As you wish”.

Also, be incredibly handsome.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You must also be poor and take on work as a sailor to afford the wedding.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Preferably training under and ultimately inheriting the title of Dread Pirate Roberts.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Show her first and let her figure it out by your actions

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Nice answer!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

„It’s ok if you eat my fries, even though I asked you three times if you wanted fries and you said you didn’t want to have fries. I am, in no way, struggling with the urge to kill you.“

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Assuming this would be news to her, be gradual about it, over time. Precise instructions are not possible, but kinda like smile more at her, show interest, chat regularly, etc and if it looks like she is showing interest back over time, it might be as simple at saying it straight out.

Watch for signs of rejection. Pushing on past those is rude.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

You don't. Part of love is openness, you can't love a person while not being willing to share the fact that you love them. Pretty much by definition

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

"i hate you" (its what women say to me, they actually mean 'i love you' (rizz))

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just being there when she needs it, spending quality time together, not offending or hurting her, things like that...

Sounds easy but really not.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That can be a good way to remain in the friend zone too. Gotta drop some hints and hope she reacts to them positively.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Dude be positive, the result of our actions cannot be controlled. Be a good guy no matter what.

  1. find girl who is mutually attracted to you. Proceed to step 2.
  2. date and stuff. Listen. Collaborate. Trust. Bask in the glory that is romance.
  3. identify and implement love languages.
  4. by now you damn well better have figured out what she likes and doesn't and with this knowledge you have your answer.

And chocolate. Also, she should be doing these steps in parallel with you, equally. You also deserve to be shown love without saying it. If she doesn't, dump her and return to step 1.

Before I was brave enough to say I love you to my husband my go to phrase was “you're my favorite person”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Tell your wingman to tell her that you love her.

I'm assuming that you're a coder by trade.
