Sometimes extreme low self-esteem can lead you to give up on "scoring" so you start talking to beautiful people with no hang ups. It's not like you have a chance, right? Might as well enjoy their company, even if it's just for friends. Suddenly you realize you have tons in common and you like their company. You hang out together every day. They are such a good friend. Then one day they say "hey", look at you straight in the eyes, and kiss you.

We've been together for thirty years last August.

I agree with this. I had this gorgeous friend that I never once tried making a move on our flirting with, cause she was way out of my league. We got to hanging out alone a lot and I would never do anything but just act like a normal, non horny person for once. All of a sudden she's kissing me. Like wtf?! Good times.

[-] kernelle@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

That's why I always tell people to stop 'looking', that's just desperate and off-putting. Friendships will turn into relationships if its meant to be.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

these are all great stories but what if it doesn't happen and you stay single for life

Congrats! 30 years is amazing.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 months ago

Then one day they say "hey", look at you straight in the eyes, and kiss you.

yeah one day...

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It will only when you know, deep in your heart, that it is never gonna happen. Hope is cruel.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 months ago

Also, it helps if you are pursuing a genuine friendship, not just trying to be a "friend" while secretly girlfriend-zoning them.

Congrats, grandpa!

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Don't seek a relationship. Seek a friendship and a relationship may bloom.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 months ago

Congratulations!

[-] vzq@lemmy.world 127 points 2 months ago

I can see shaggy being a total hit with goth girls. He’s got lots of spooky stories and he brings snacks. What’s not to like?

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 58 points 2 months ago

Also he has a talking pet and can play the guitar 🤘🏻

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 54 points 2 months ago
[-] Mango@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I can get in on all that without having sex with him. I just come to hang, my bro!

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I don’t recall him ever playing the guitar in the original cartoon. Is that some kind of retcon shit?

[-] vzq@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

If Scooby was a black talking cat, they be all over him from the get go. A large dog might take some getting used to.

True in my case, but there's a good reason. We started dating in HS. She has a late growth spurt, and her boobs got huge. She really filled out everywhere. And considering she was an ex athlete, she really was something to behold.

I remember being at work, and seeing a bombshell walking across the parking lot. I was in awe. And then I realized it was her. I knew it was doomed from that point on. She was constantly getting hit on by everyone by that point.

My girlfriend even went to metal shows with me. She crawled through GWARs worm once. I was so close with the band Lamb of God. This was the years 2000/2001, so they weren't popular yet. Apparently John Campbell would talk about her tits behind my back.

I even had several people say I looked like shaggy. And over twenty years later, I go to the grocery store wearing brown sweatpants and a green shirt. That was today.

Matrix confirmed.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months ago

If Matrix was here, he’d laugh too.

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That's amazing. This is the good wholesome stuff.

People forgot how powerful Shaggy is because it was too stressful to contemplate

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 22 points 2 months ago

They're not posing to get their picture taken, Shaggy just appeared there, and she was instantly paralyzed

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 2 months ago

ah that's probably it, maybe I'm just too handsome to get a gorgeous girlfriend

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

A few friends said that me. Pretty sure it was just to keep me going. Though One time my old 4th grade teacher stopped me when I went to my brother's parent day. Asked me if I was single and wanted to meet her child. Sadly I wasn't and my brother was there so couldn't lie even if It occurred to me to. Felt very random. Especially how forward she was on all that.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

lmao imagine asking someone out for your child, that's really not ok. poor kid...

Ya'll better put some respect on my man's name. Shaggy was a real one, even when he was scared. And he came with snacks.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 30 points 2 months ago

I remember seeing a pretty goth girl holding hands with a guy in a full Adidas tracksuit and thinking how unusual yet awesome it was to see people from completely different social groups in a relationship.

[-] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 months ago

Whoa you saw Johnathan Davis?!

I’ve been the boyfriend in this situation with a hot goth chick. No idea what she saw in me.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 2 months ago

Why is this in the past tense?

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

She moved on. I was young and stupid and she had better things to do than deal with an insecure loser like me. She had a really awesome black chevy nova with a license plate ‘SPOOKY1’ and one of the most awesome things we did was make a bleeding heart cake to impress her pretentious goth friends. A few years back though, she died from a heroin overdose, her Mom had reached out to me on facebook and we talked some, she was a nice lady. Ex-gf had apparently been having some issues in her life and had not-good influences that pushed her back into drugs. C'est la vie.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Depends on what kind of imaging she was using. Did she ever rub Doritos dust on your belly?

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

She's only dating him to get to Scoob.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 months ago

Short hair bisexual women and their tall long haired skinny boyfriends is also a trend I have noticed

Don't you be dissing Shaggy!

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 months ago

Honestly shaggy and Jeff from American Dad are exactly my "type"

Stoners who would go to the end of the earth for the people they love

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

One review of Multiversus mentioned "I never thought I would describe Shaggy as one of the most powerful shoto charachters, but that seems to be the case".

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Oh you know Shaggy is schwangin' that schlang.

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Shaggy has some densely elongated schlang.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 2 months ago

As a bitter short guy the first thing I saw was "yeah, he's tall."

I guess at least I recognize I'm an asshat lol
