I am honestly in awe at how many of you want to be hit by cars. I think we learn before kindergarten to look both ways before crossing the street.
Unfortunately, there is an epidemic of kids walking with headphones in, not paying attention, holding their phone and crossing the street without looking at all.
Today, as I turned a blind corner in a parking lot (going no more than 10 mph) a girl decided to cross the street. The best part was that she saw me turning, did not pause, did not hesitate, but just walked in front of my car. I thought as I slammed on my brakes (in ice by the way, good thing I actually stopped), maybe that was an accident. She didn’t see me. But usually if you start crossing and realize there is a car, you pause, jump back, try to get out of the way, get startled, honestly anything. She was calm, kept looking forward as my brakes strained to stop only about a foot away from her. She did not flinch, she did not look at me, she grinned to herself as I panicked, and by doing so she said, “it’s my right of way, I hope you hit me.”
To be fair, pedestrians do have the right of way. AT CROSSWALKS.
Don’t be stupid NAU. I’m the one in a metal box. Hitting you isn’t going to hurt ME, trust me. It doesn’t take more than two seconds to make sure no one is coming before you step into the street. Be safe.
Here are a few facts about drivers and pedestrians:
• Drivers are required to stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks.
• Turning vehicles are required to stop for pedestrians, even on green lights.
• In most places, crossing outside a crosswalk is illegal (and dangerous so stop doing it).
• Crossing outside a crosswalk is illegal only when the nearest intersections on both sides are controlled by traffic signals.
• When crossing outside a crosswalk, pedestrians MUST YEILD THE RIGHT OF WAY TO MOTORISTS (!!!!!!!).
• Crossing the street outside a crosswalk and near it is DANGEROUS. Turning drivers may not be able to see you (!!!!!!!).

There was a light, that lit his world, that melted his mask, and saved his world.
The light came fast, the light came strong, it came from her eyes, shes what he longed.
She broke the armor, she broke the strife, she touched his heart, she gave it life.
Her light gave hope, her light gave dreams, it made him happy, like nothing seen.
Her light was perfect, in every way! But for some reason, she saw not the same.
Broken by one, but not by all, broken by one, that caused her to fall.
Trapped she was, in her darkened mind, trapped in the past, not left behind.
Stuck in a hole, trapped in a cage, lost in a void, her heart had stayed.
He dove down deep, entered the void, fought the demons, that made her a ploy.
He bashed her cage, with all his might, dumping his heart, into every strike.
Out she came, for one brief moment, with arms wide open, was this the moment?
He grazed her lips, he changed forever, he knew right then, nothing was better.
His heart burst with joy, shinning bright, he began to reveal, his very own light.
But she began to run, far away, pulling his heart, along the way.
Wondering why, he made pursuit, never catching her, not knowing the truth.
His heart was beaten, his heart was thrashed, he picked it up, and put it in the trash.
His soul cried out, blaming himself, convinced he was shit, and nothing else.
In darkness he stayed, chained and cold, in darkness he stayed, mind wanting to fold.
He found the courage, to reach for a hand, pleading for help, taking a stand.
Grabbing his heart, he put it together, it took some time, but he felt better.
Unsure he remains, roaming through life, wondering where he is, what is his life?
He no longer searches, he waits for love, hoping its sent, from up above.
Her light is still felt, but at a distance he stays, not wanting to hurt, recalling her days.
But a promise he made, he'll keep no doubt, to be her ears, her water to drought.
The pain still lingers, just not many know, maybe this way, some could know.

First of all girl, I DOUBT that you chase guys. You mean to tell me that, with the ONE guy you like, that you actively try to set up a relationship with them? Doubtful. You most likely pine and he would have no clue you like him.
Second point. Guys that engage with multiple women ad guys who take whatever they can get are not the same, and are probably polar opposites. A guy that will take the first girl to show interest in him, is not the guy who will be entertaining notions of multiple girls.
You were completely right in your denial of the guy. If someone does not meet your standards, you should not date them, I've done this myself to girls. Where you went wrong is getting mad that he moved on, even if it was quickly. You do NOT get to dictate whether someone else is happy or not.
