Ironic, no. Stupid, possibly.

You don’t really like him, you doubt that he likes you, he’s smart, and doesn’t cut, you’re… well enough educated, but you cut anyway, which he doesn’t like, and yet you’re still going to to a dance with him? face it, you’re just going with him because you desperately want to go to a dance, and refuse to go alone. You’re going with him for all the wrong reasons, and none of the right reasons, and thus, you’re bound to have a miserable time at the dance.

First of all… shut up. You don’t know the whole story.
1) I liked this guy a lot, so I asked him out.
2) After I asked him out, I found out all of those things.
3) I told my mom I cut… so that pretty much means I’ve stopped.
4) I am in a school district that thinks high B’s are failing. I am in AP biology as a freshman in high school. So I think my education is pretty decent.
Being smart has nothing to do with cutting.
It’s not ironic. Is there anyway that you can find another date?
Here is my opinion on emos. Emo’s are people who dress to get attention by wearing tight clothes, so yes a style. And most people who cut don’t dress emo.
And Ironic I would say not, maybe coincidental.

Well… the attention part applies to only some… but okay. I wear skinny jeans, but that’s about it. I don’t wear vans or straighten my hair or wear dark eyeliner or anything like that.

It’s a bit late. I still think he’s a great guy, but there’s just that little part of me that makes me uncomfortable.

Jeez. If you ask for people’s opinions, don’t throw a tantrum when they tell you the TRUTH instead of what you WANT tho hear.
Do what you want, you’ll see I’m right either way.
Sorry if I was a little harsh Xeno dragon. I just… I don’t know, blurt out my emotions sometimes? I feel terrible afterward though. I’m sorry if I hurt you.

Ahh…. you just contridicted yourself. You say opinions… but then you say you are right either way. If I can recall, no one is right in an opinion.

Trust me, with what I’ve been through, that’s foreplay. No worries.

Wrong. Not all opinions are right, but some are. If you are of the opinion that the world is round, you are right, even though it’s just your opinion.
No, “the world is round” is a fact. Facts can be PROVEN (keyword) right or wrong… while opinions vary and can not be proven.

Skinny jeans are meant for girls lol.

Wrong. Not all opinions are right, but some are. If you are of the opinion that the world is round, you are right, even though it’s just your opinion.
But it is proven true so would it not be a fact. And if you believed the world was flat it would be a misconseption?
And I would have to agree with Xeno, sorry but if you feel uncomfortable now then you most likely will not have a good time. I had that happen to me last year as a freshman. Never know though.
But I need to get off for the night.
And I wear skinny jeans…. and some guys are hot in skinny jeans! So don’t be dissin them. ;P

You think I don’t know what I’m talking about, then like I said,

Well, I think it would be nice if we still went. We were friends before all this and I have no problem in going with him as a friend. All I was asking in this post was if you thought it was ironic.
The answer is no, grammatically it is not.
In this case, his stereotyping is ironic to me also (keep in mind the meaning of ironic can differ slightly and some would disagree ^^). But it is also unfortunate. Stereotyping is a very bad practice because it is nothing but ignorance and generalization in one messy combination. I can see easily how that makes you feel worth less to him than what you should be. I think if he is any friend of yours, especially as someone you have feelings for, you should tell him about you and explain. Try to make him understand. If he does not, he is not a good friend to keep around.
lol, we’re not that close. There are some friends that you just don’t tell certain things too…
Sorry, I misunderstood your relationship with him. In any case, don’t let his ignorance ruin your homecoming :)

Irony is a rhetorical device…not so much grammar.
Wow burgerkrieg… thanks. lol

I know. I was a n English major for a while, thanks. I’m saying that, the way she wrote this, no, it’s not ironic.
Ahh… so you are older and wiser than I… well, I should be thankful for such a mature person to respond to this post.

I’m 20, and I am not mature. I wouldn’t want to be. I simply like to know what I’m talking about before I talk about it, so I’ve studied a lot in my life.
Well… I suppose you didn’t catch the hint of sarcasm, but good to know still.
No, it was thinly veiled, thanks.
lol, sorry. There I go again getting all pissy and personal. I tend to get nasty while debating/arguing about a topic. lol. You should see me in actuality, I’m quite hilarious.

Sorry…I couldn’t type. Too busy LMAO. I caught more than a hint actually…
So, on the topic of irony then, how do you define it? I think if you consider the definition as also including something that is percieved as true and the reality being totally different, I’d say this fits.
pardon my ignorance, but i honestly don’t get it, is it a new ’slang’? what does it mean to be ‘emo’? and ‘cut’? cut what exactly?
Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does, and what one means or what is generally understood.

Cutting anywhere on your body. I “use” to cut my arms. It can be fingers, wrists, legs, or any part.
“Used to”, you mean? As in, past-tense?

Only a partial definition IMO.

“emo”- common features…. listen to screaming music, wear tight pants, dark make-up. Some guys even wear eyeliner. Oh! And straightend hair.

I told you…. I told my mom so it pretty much means I’ve stopped.

Thanks. Just wondering, I didn’t quite understand it the way you wrote it.
I must go… feel free to keep talking. Good-night.

Blame Webster.
i see, thanks for explaining… well, yeah, now i can definitely see the irony. but, why would you want to know if other people thought it was ironic?
This isn’t ironic, it’s just dishonest.
How did you pull dishonest from this?
What, you think she’s being 100% honest with this guy?
She doesn’t owe him anything–espeically that kind of very personal information. She is not leading him into a false relationship as she does not feel that way for him. And, as she has expressed, they are not that close of friends.
I didn’t say it was bad. I said it was dishonest. Which it is. Why is everyone attacking every reply I make lately? I’ve had to explain nearly half of my posts today.

what do you mean “pretty much”? you can’t “pretty much” cut. either you do or you don’t. :P
i think that its not ironic he just sounds like a guy its hard to like someone that you cant help liking but i think the best thing to do is keep your eyes open to other guys. if he judges people espcially since he obviously doesnt understand the underlining meaning behind why people cut hes not worth it. just go to the dance have fun i mean homecoming is a lot of fun and its not like you have to be with him the whole time try to look past what you know for that night and enjoy yourself.
I agree with Xeno. Only go with a guy who likes and respects you.

I agree 100%…it is a dance, not an engagement party.
I dont want you top take this the wrong way, but I agree with Xeno as well.
I’m sure you did like this guy, but it seems like now that you know him better, your not feeling him as much…
You might have fun at the dance, you might end up liking him more :D
So, I think you should still go with him, but if you feel this way still after a while, it probably would be best to break it off.
Also, no offence but cutting is stupid, everyone does stupid things, but cutting is not a smart thing to do, Im happy you told your mom, and that shpows you know its not right, just remember you dont have to settle for this guy if you figure you dont like him, you jst have to be honest with your own feeliungs and respect his too, I mean if you dont like him but stay with him just to go to a dance, that can be considered using him.
But I dont think it’s really like that.
