    You want all the boys? You can have them! I just saw another post, and it reminded me of this.

    When I was in HS, I had a friend who was incredibly manipulative and attention seeking, especially when it came to boys. If she found out that someone had a crush on me (or anyone else in our friend group), she would swoop in and flirt to take the attention. This went double if I liked the guy back.

    I even have a vivid memory of her straddling my boyfriend in a school stairwell while the three of us were hanging out. Poor guy was so uncomfortable and was the only one who didn't fall for her wiles; he and I are still besties 15 years later.

    Going into university, I started going out with a new group of friends who were really into clubbing. Get a bunch of students drunk and dancing together, and of course, moves will be made. I had no interest in the Chads that came sniffing around, so when they'd ask for my number (after multiple polite rejections), I thought to myself, "You know who would love this? That girl from HS."

    So from then on, whenever I got some pushy guy who just wouldn't take no for an answer, I told them my name was her name and then gave them her number. She always wanted the attention that I received. It just made sense to help her out.

    Mai... Decent. In the early 00s in the UK there was a radio sketch that gave a mobile number out for people to give to people who pestered them for their number. It was called flirt divert and they would play the funniest voicemails out over the radio the following week.

    Harley Queen90 I had this friend too. Made out with my crush the night we were supposed to have a first date. After repeatedly saying how she didn't think he was cute. Then told me afterwards he was a bad kisser. And she couldn't understand why I didn't want to stay friends with her.

    Gr82BA10AC Vol I think I had the guy version of this plight. It was ironic that I would get a crush on a girl that no one was interested in, but the moment someone caught wind that I had an interest in her, suddenly this overlooked and ignored girl would have a dozen guys

    fawning on her. Not a dozen nerdy guys, the heartthrob jocks, the rich kids, the popular guys. I was always the quiet, studious type.

    Red-Phillips I find it entirely impossible to comprehend the mentality of someone who would relentlessly pursue anyone clearly and actively not interested in them. If a woman seems even slightly but genuinely indifferent I'll be out of there and over the

    PlayFederal I had this but as a dude, with a guy friend. It ultimately ended when one girl wasn't interested, but he wasn't used to that. He pursued her for like a year. She finally gave in and they went on like two dates and she ghosted him.

    Best of all is that I was a nobody, and she was also a nobody. He was moderately popular and spent the last two years of HS chasing and then getting rejected by a girl whom most of the in- crowd didn't know existed. He took it hard, lost his whole groove. Was fun to watch.
