Can you please help settle an absurd argument with a friend?

[SaltBoy]

Ask him if he wants to have sex with you. If he doesn't give you a definite "no", I say stay away for life.

 

[nakedfrog]

Also, what precisely IS the argument?

 

[JoeKing]

Then ask him if he has crazy butt sex with random men at truck stops? If he says "Maybe" then you win.

I think your friend is a moron, plain and simple. Tell him to pull his head out of his ass.

If I were in your position, I would simply stop making plans with him.

I agree with all of the responses thus far (save for the one who found my style of writing to be pretentious--If I knew how to better articulate my thoughts, I would).

Perhaps I impress upon my friends too stringent a requirement, but I simply see no need to be so ambiguous all the time.

I have a friend like that. Learn to deal with it or stop being his friend if it bothers you that much. He won't change.

 

[torpid]

Sorry this person sounds like a stubborn jerk on this issue. I have a friend who used to refuse to refer to people as his friend, because he had his own special definition of the word friend which we weren't qualified to be. If it were me, I'd have read between the lines and tell him that I'm just not going to invite him to lunch anymore if he's going to act that way, because I would interpret it as passive aggressive and insulting, as well as a manifestation of his lack of enjoyment of the lunch outings.

if you're asking about stuff like 'is it possible...' or 'would you ever...' then no problem.

However, if you are asking stuff like 'want to go for a beer', then thats really annoying.

Tell him why he is a dumbass and maybe he will change.

Please include some typos, and maybe some incorrect punctuation and grammar. You aren't being graded here--you write as if you had a stick up your ass

It is precisely that latter case when he does this. The only time he doesn't say it is when I "ask" by saying, "I'm picking you up in 10."

He maintains that I'm the dumbass for expecting him to respond normally.
