Happened to me. Asked this girl for her number, then crap just started to brew in my life. She asks me why I haven’t called, I explain myself, promise her I’ll take her on a date soon.
She looks right at me and goes “Who the hell said anything about dating? I just wanted an excuse to get out of the house!”
Then she can just renew it O_O No need for a man for that.

I’m pretty sure that Miranda is a citizen, so no green card required. And please, don’ty let her be a slut (like Rose) or a bitch (like Tracy). Is a nice, normal girl too much to ask for?

We are talking about America, right?
Land of the Free, home of the Bitch?
Sorry, being a high school guy, that 1 in 100 is THAT hard to find, and must be worse in Nate’s situation.
Pump the brakes, Nate! Not every girl has an agenda. *^_~* This just gives more credence to my theory that men love to complain how women are always too serious and women are straining at the leash to get into committed relationships and blah blah blah etc., when really it’s MEN who are full of estrogen and feelings and act like “traditional women”. *^_~*
I asked a girl after we ‘hung out’ a couple times if this was leading somewhere or if we were hanging out (the signals were a tad mixed), she said hanging out. I was a little disappointed, but I could live with it and said so, but she started to avoid me after that. Weird.
Maybe she preferred to hang out with someone who just wanted to hang out, rather than just hang out with someone who apparently wanted more? By avoiding you there’s no question about which signals she’d be sending, and she wouldn’t have to worry about inadvertently encouraging you. So I wouldn’t call that weird.
Not that I know anything about girls. Or people. Maybe she didn’t know what she wanted at first, but then decided that she didn’t want you, and just wanted to move on? Without necessarily explaining or admitting to anything? That would also not be weird.
Itr’s a short & slippery slope from “let’s hang out” to “let’s pick out curtains”. 😉 But seriously, Nate should dump Tracy and go out with Miranda, if only to regain his self-respect.
The original Treading Ground comics were created between 2003 and 2011. As such, you'll find some unfortunate hallmarks of raunchy comedies of the time. These include casual misogyny, dubious sexual situations, insensitive edgelord humor and a character using the r-slur.
While these are not typically portrayed as positive, it's definitely not how I would write the comic today, and you should know that going in. That said, there's still a lot of good stuff here.
There's also some nudity. Consider the whole comic NSFW!

At least she’s not my first gf who couldn’t make up her mind.
And I guess she thought they were being just friends.
RotSman
This seems familiar somehow…
Geoff Appleby
Exactly what I was thinking…

Does the term “can’t live with them, can’t live without them” ring any bells m’lady?
Ginger
Unfortunately yes, that is a scenario I am all too familiar with! *^_~*

Hopefully Nate won’t face the same problem here.

Weird, that second comment describes what happened to me a bit ago…..then again, I think there is another reason
