and die?

Correct.

LOL

STEVE HOLT!!! *fist pump*

Translation: "Wow that sucks for him. Well you should wait until he's finished asking first. That's like me asking my girlfriend if she wanted to spend the rest of our lives aggravating me, and she stops listening at "Spend the rest of our lives." Lol, bad example." ... It's like a whole different language. OP that must be incredibly awkward. I know you didn't see that coming, and you didn't even know he liked you. Somehow I want to say FYL and YDI at the same time.

Haahhahahhah thank you for that translation

exactly. it brought me to the conclusion that they talked this sort of thing before, and she probably always brushed it off. it just seems too out of the blue, and the fact that she illustrates she was joking must indicate it was something she expected in a way. and i think shes saying platonic now to illustrate she wasnt interested. btw platonic is nonsexual

It's not that complicated: Guy: I have a question Girl(as if he was proposing): YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!! Guy: Haha, you wish, I was asking about [some mundane topic] Girl(jokingly): awww [conversation continues] Of course, that's not how it went, but that's how she planned it.

it doesnt matter how she thought this one would go it still seems like she dealt with it before. if he really is her platonic friend he woulda conveyed his feelings in some way, and i feel that she forgot he was interested until it was too late. but then again im just readin between the lines

I don't think you know what platonic means. It is the complete absence or romantic feelings, i.e. he never told her that he loved her.

Given that she used the term 'good platonic friend' means that she viewed him just as a friend, and assumed that he viewed her in the same way. So she 'jokingly' put her arms around him and said something passionate because in her frame of mind, there was no way that he could be interested in her, and was sure he would see her actions as kidding around. I've made jokes before about my mate being a 'sexy beast' but I would no way in hell actually expect him to turn around and declare that he secretly liked me... it just wouldn't even be worth considering. That was the same situation here. They were such good friends that she simply couldn't consider the chance of him having feelings for her.

Ah, right, I actually read wrong lol Fail on my part for not remembering my vocab, looking it up, and reading the wrong thing. So, okay, now I am wondering if he was platonic before or if she is just saying that in effect of how she feels about him? If it's the former, her little joke makes sense. If it's the latter, then her joke could have had dire repercussions even if it did turn out how she wanted. But I still don't see how it's really all that funny. Does she think it's one of those cutesy jokes, or something? And it's like starchild said, they had to have... mentioned it somehow... because I don't see how he could have possibly connected it otherwise (except that he was in love with her). "YES YES [blahblah]" "... "Yes" what? I was asking about [topic]." So her plan was a pretty stupid, probably going to backfire one. [edit] It's one thing to joke about "sexy beast" - that's direct. A passionate "YES YES YES" is fairly vague, in my opinion, unless they had mentioned it at some point.

i do know what platonic means, i just think she said it in the fml to reinforce her views on marrying him, thats all, but i do believe it isnt as big a surprise as she made it

to be honest, i think the 'joke' part of it was that she pulled a jane bennet, with the "yes, yes, a thousand times yes." it's a quote from pride and prejudice. maybe they watched it together and laughed at that line, so she thought it would be fitting.

great point exit, i didnt know it was a line in pride and prejudice. (the indian girl version was the best imo lol, i think it was bride and prejudice or something). good analysis

It's actually a very famous quote. It wouldn't be that hard to think that the guy would not get that it was a complete joke without having talked about it before.

Holy Shit! You're that ******* dense?! That's sad.

She also could have been joking about how seriously he was taking this "question." Like if a guy friend of mine came up to me and was like, "Look... I have a question to ask you...", I'd probably joke around with him about a proposal, too - though I would have never guessed that that was what was actually on his mind.

I know it's a "famous quote," but it still struck me as a dumb plan since... I dunno... doesn't seem to me like a guy would see "Pride and Prejudice" or connect to it immediately. I know I never have; I'm not interested in that crap. If they watched it together... who the crap watches a romantic movie with their platonic friends, even ones of the same gender (that aren't les/gay)? I guess I'm just weird.
