One of my closest friends was greatly helped through his social anxiety by your videos like this. He loves the way you're self-critical without beating yourself up. Thanks man.
Omg, the lean in shiver part put me over the top. I literally laughed so hard i fell out of my chair clutching my stomach unable to breath. Hands down one of the funniest Day9 stories ever.
i LOVE these highlight videos!!! They remind me so much of the old storytime videos that are still my favorite productions of video that i have ever seen in the english language
I tried to find the highlight of the original video to link for comparison, but I couldn't. Oh well. Just wanted to say it's amazing what a few years of doing live shows will do for your elaborate storytelling ability.
ahhh day9... it's been too long... i remember watching your videos in the early days of starcraft..like preorder and first years..early days..watching your videos again made me smile.. DON'T EVER STOP BEING YOU! CUZ YOU'RE A FRIGGIN AWESOME DUDE!
I had a crush on a guy in my music theory class in high school -- 13 years later we finally had our first date and 4 years after that we got married. :-)
Oh my God i'm literally in this situation right now. Hot girl does delivery for the pizza place near me. Last time I made an order I was gonna ask her if she'd seen Rogue One and wanted to go to the movies since the theater is right next to the pizza place. When I go to pay for the pizza she didn't have small change and it got weird, and she wound up covering a dollar and it was real awkward. I hate trying to chat up a girl it is my Kryptonite.
Tershin 100% agree and it's always easy in hindsight but when I'm there it's like my mouth and my brain stop communicating. She is literally so pretty I become flabbergasted and forget words.
Here's the down side, if failed, that pizza place no longer exists. :P Now I'm not a man to dictate priorities BUT, also consider how good that pizza is. ;) But seriously, Tershin is infinitely smoother then I am. :P I too would have crumbled under the first sign of awkward. However if you're of drinking age, 2 or 3 beers before the pizza arrives might help, and learn from your mistakes, get a roll of pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters. For us awkward guys asking a girl out is like going into battle, the first causality is usually the plan. GL HF!
The problem is that you're so afraid of being embarrassed that your system just locks up. But the thing is about asking someone out, dating, and even being in love is that it's like playing with fire. Yes you might get burned or it might blossom into a beautiful relationship that will keep your whole life warm. It's particularly hard to successfully ask someone out at their job because the majority of times you will get turned down, but you should really just go for it and let the dice fall where they may, it's better than regretting. If you do get the date just go be yourself and have fun.
Best advice I can give is that in between the point where you meet someone and have no interest in them and the point where you really like them/crush on them, there's a point where you're vaguely interested but not invested, and that's the best point to ask them out. You want to not be particularly bothered if they say no, not just because it helps you feel better (and it does) but because you absolutely 100% will be less of an awkward mess if you aren't overinvested. It's stupid and unfair but yeah it works that way. I have like so much more dating success flirting with vaguely cute girls I'd kind of like to get to know better if the opportunity arises than I do trying to ask out a long term friend or so on, because I revert to awkward mess in the latter case (to the point where I just avoid doing it anymore).
Please come up with a new plan and keep is posted, I want to see a mariage happening from this post! Also, maybe you can still redeem yourself and contact her? Saying something like ''Hi i ordered a pizza from your place yesterday and a girl (or if you know her name, the name of the girl), came to deliver it but I didnt have enough change and she paid for me, and either say you want to make it up to her or ask if she is there to talk to you herself. I dont have a good script ready but im sure you can come up with something (write it down before you call) and maybe still use it as an excuse instead of a fuck up to ask her to go to the movies? Heck, be honest and say you got nervous or whatever (but maybe do that face to face), she might find it cute. Best of luck! Keep us posted
I never dated a girl during high school, but had crushes on a few, but was too shy and nervous to strike up the idea of it. But, maybe a good thing due to high school has way too much drama for me 🤣
Fascinating story, Sean! For me, age 10-13 was a series of kiss and runs, followed by anger, chase and hostility from said victim. Only at around 14 did I level up to actually be able to get close enough to put an arm around a girl, or call her said "girlfriend." Being young was for the most part, majorly confusing and humiliating.
See the problem is that I am in college, and I was too awkward in highschool to date anyone and the people I awkwardly asked out said no, so I am in a very weird position of being completely inexperienced of how not to fuck up a relationship or how to be romantic in the slightest.
Keep trying dude, you'll eventually learn what does and does not work. And when you finally do get into a relationship that feels alright, always remember to talk to her (him too, no judgement here) about everything that is going through your mind about the relationship. Don't shut down. If it doesn't work with her atleast you will have learned something for the next relationship, and it wouldn't have been because of your lack of trying to make it work. It's more normal than you think for guys to lose their virginity at an older age.
Yeah man, I was in a pretty similar situation. Any relationships I had in high school were extremely short-lived, and like Day9 was saying "they just kinda happened", so when I got into college, I had no clue what I was doing. So after striking out with the, like, 10 girls on my campus (hardly an exaggeration), I turned to online dating. And after the huge freaking ego crush that happens on those sites (as if I even had one to begin with), you start to finally get some experience in just... like, that simple act of talking to a girl, and having an end goal to the conversation. Then when you start to do that well enough you get to figure out first dates, and when you understand those you go to second dates, and so on. It just kinda naturally happens once you've tried enough.
I had a nightmare experience with a friend in school he came up to me got super close ( foreheads were touching ) and he asks me out .....So I'm like I have to go to class I'll tell you after thinking I could sneak away home and tell him on MSN I didn't want to but he finds me asks again and I was so awkward I said yes and walked him to the bus I go to say bye and he grabs my waist pulls me in and kisses me and I'm leaning backwards cause he's right against me and I'm trying to get away and everyone can see because there sitting on the bus looking at us ...The second I got home I explained I didn't want to go out with him I just felt too awkward to say no to somebody an inch away from my face - now if I don't like somebody I tell them straight away rather than trying to be polite xD
Jesus christ. Over-persistence, doing it in public to embarrass you, and then holding you in place to kiss you without consent. Major fucking creep behaviour worthy of a beating, but hopefully the sting of rejection taught him the lesson well enough
metallsnubben nah like 2 days later he was going out with a friend of mine xD he was overly confident and not my type I've always gone for the funny guys lol
A way to a womans heart is either laughter food or music I've found. Some girls do like persistance. But not the kind you experienced. It took me awhile to get the girl I'm dating now to come around let alone let me come meet her. She wasn't just shy it was the whole "You'd be my first boyfriend and its online" I just replied "Doesn't have to be online and you can always say No you know?" Well she's never said no since and its been 6 years or so now :)
Passion of the Christ came out 12-13 years ago... and he's 30... so he was at least 17 when this happened. And for it to be out on video, it was even later!
Oh shit Sean I was just laughing the whole way through. My most embarrising moment, was when I was in a classroom, there were 3 people in that classroom. Me, my best friend, and the girl I had a crush on. we were all sitting. I am leaning down to the ground to pick something up from my backpack which was on the floor. That moment, my best friend, tries to in subtle way, which wasn't very subtle, to tell the girl I had a crush on her. and I am still leaning down, I am probably isn't even visible from her point of view the way I am just leaning down, looking inside my backpack, with the biggest blush on my face as he is speaking to her. I then suddenly, tell him "What the fuck are you talking about" pick up my bag, and leave the classroom. Real tsundere moment there.
When he started saying that he pulled his neck muscle, I immediatly knew what noise he was going to make. He kinda told that part of the story before and it was so fucking funny.
The STUPIDEST thing i've ever done was when i was 9'th grade and i went to a girl in my class that i had a major crush on (something like a year or something of buildup) and it was at the end of the year trip and and we were all exhausted from an about 10 km of a climb and we all set down and i went to her, you need to understand how i felt and probably looked: i felt like my heart is not pumping blood but iron, so it beat REALLY hard and i was sweating and all sorts of stuff. So i went to her almost fainting (you need to understand that it was the first time i interacted with a girl like this) and said: "Would you like to be my girlfriend"............ yup, you can laugh now.... She obviously said no (not like cold hearted cause i was one of her classmates) and i was devistated for over a year... Well it seems like it can only get better than this
Idk what weird forces conspired to make me watch this video today, but that thing you had with your neck happened to me this morning and it was the scariest fucking experience
Had to reply when I heard Sean mention the movie - it reminded me of the 2 most brilliant/dumbass movie dates I've ever been on - and no, I am 100% not kidding: Last Temptation of Christ and Schindler's List that brought back memories of the worst (yet memorable) dates I've ever been on
Sean that was literally the worst first kiss I've ever heard. My first kiss came after a high school dance when I was 17. I previously was really over-weight and at this point I was somewhere awkwardly in between, so you know I had mad experience with the ladies. I asked if I could kiss her before I left her house after the dance, she said yes, I said I love you. She broke up with me the next week.
For my first kiss I invited over my girlfriend for something (I think we just watched a movie with my friends?). I got excited after she said something and spontaneously kissed her. I internally thought "that was shit, I'm gonna redo that" and so when we both got back on the sofa couch thing, I whispered in her ear "after this Imma kiss you", to which she quietly said "okay". After the thing, I kissed her/made out for a bit & in my mind effectively redid a first kiss into something okay.
So when I saw the title of this video I thought it was about dating someone who was just a walking faux pas, like totally oblivious to every social convention. This is good too though.

"have you ever gone up to someone" no
No *End of the Story*
- Many of us.
One of my closest friends was greatly helped through his social anxiety by your videos like this. He loves the way you're self-critical without beating yourself up. Thanks man.
This is an amazing story. The Passion of Day9
The passion of christ.. ffs Sean
Maybe he thought it was a low budget porno.
Well...it had whipping. Maybe he was interested in the BDSM element?
Wll the title can be misleading.
Well... there's passion in the title. Nice segway for making your move during the climax of the movie
Omg, the lean in shiver part put me over the top. I literally laughed so hard i fell out of my chair clutching my stomach unable to breath. Hands down one of the funniest Day9 stories ever.
This is so cool! He told that story a long time ago too, but it's a bit more in depth and well put together now XD
Yeah, I think I remember this from the Day9 SC dailies time. So many good stories, glad to hear them again, they are amazing!
I've watched this maybe 6 times by now. It is such an empathetic story and Sean it such an emotive story teller.
He is such an interesting storyteller.
Day9 is THE best storyteller ever
Laughed so hard I cried. Thank you Sean :)
i LOVE these highlight videos!!! They remind me so much of the old storytime videos that are still my favorite productions of video that i have ever seen in the english language
I like that I have been watching Day 9 since such a long time that I have heard this story already. Still hilarious.
this poor girl
:D
I could listen to Sean's life stories for hours. He is so good at this.
I tried to find the highlight of the original video to link for comparison, but I couldn't. Oh well. Just wanted to say it's amazing what a few years of doing live shows will do for your elaborate storytelling ability.
MythrilZenith Day9 Daily #260 around 21:00
Daniel Kim you are right.. holy sheit. How?
The embellishments and timings got better. But he had so much more energy that I actually prefer the old one.
it was the mass contaminate funday monday on a valentines day
ahhh day9... it's been too long... i remember watching your videos in the early days of starcraft..like preorder and first years..early days..watching your videos again made me smile..
DON'T EVER STOP BEING YOU! CUZ YOU'RE A FRIGGIN AWESOME DUDE!
"The passion of... killing the passion?!" LMAO
It was waaaaaaaay better the first time you told it! But thank you again for all the priceless stories you share with us Sean :D
Enjoying these story times videos :)
That's a cool story. I laughed. Thank you Sean!
Years later and this is still a hilarious story. God bless you, Sean. Hahaha
Holy shit I actually remember this one. I've watched too many dailies.
Thabiso Mhlaba Contamination Funday Monday on Valentine's Day!
@@lancedyllan that was probably the funniest episode of them all. I nearly had a stroke watching that. Damn that was a long time ago
I alternated between bursts of laughter and super hard cringing throughout all of this. What a video.
DM: A girl talks to you. ROLL INITIATIVE!
I would say roll willpower. But maybe I'm a different kind of DM ^^
I had a crush on a guy in my music theory class in high school -- 13 years later we finally had our first date and 4 years after that we got married. :-)
I'm having a deja vu about this
Day9 storytime is the best!
I cried laughing at this. Day9 is the best.
im so happy to see this
Holy shit, you've told this story before. I thought you were kidding about the Passion of the Christ. You absolute madman! xD
All his talk about being 30, remembering that this story has been told before makes me feel old!
You know you failed in life when you listen to day9 for dating advice.
its advice on what not to do xD
Check out Day9 Daily #260 it's one of best episode ever. Sean's first kiss story was told slightly different at 21:00 mark
This was the first time in a long time that I was so out of breath from laughter that it was starting to hurt. Sean is such a good storyteller.
It's been a loooong time sincei laughed so hard! XD
Hillarious and amazing!
Thank you!
I remember Sean telling that story before. ^^
It's been a few years.
lol yeah, always good :p
day[9] you always give us the kiss signal when you look deeply into the camera
This is like high school anime IRL.
god bless sean and his stories :D
I remember the first time he told this story, it was way back in the funday monday era, happy single awareness day everybody

Oh mon dieu. This is hilarious and I love your stories!!
The fucking passion?! :D Made my day!
I could not stop laughing for like a solid 5 minutes when he mentioned pulling his neck xD I had to pause the video after that bit and calm down lmao
Fascinating story, Sean! For me, age 10-13 was a series of kiss and runs, followed by anger, chase and hostility from said victim. Only at around 14 did I level up to actually be able to get close enough to put an arm around a girl, or call her said "girlfriend."

"May as well have just been... Crabs"
Dead
I love how Sean explains his maneuvers in stepwise fashion. Like he's on rails or sth.
See the problem is that I am in college, and I was too awkward in highschool to date anyone and the people I awkwardly asked out said no, so I am in a very weird position of being completely inexperienced of how not to fuck up a relationship or how to be romantic in the slightest.

I swear he gave this kissing story at another time in the past. I feel like the wording was the same too, which feels impressive to me.
Her name was Kristen!!
Oh, this is the one about Christine!
He's told this story, nearly verbatim before. At least the part with the girl. Still great.
I laughed so hard at the neck pulling
Jesus Christ Day9! (no pun intended)
I liked his original telling best, but this was still good.
Wait i know this story :D it's Kristen... errr FELICITY!
I think i need christ to bring me back to life from laughing too hard
i remember this story from before
The passion of the christ? What the fuuck lmao
thank the gods for you good sir.
The passion of christ Ft Sean's kiss
Passion of the Christ came out 12-13 years ago... and he's 30... so he was at least 17 when this happened. And for it to be out on video, it was even later!
Confirmed, Day[9] dated a crab in high school.
just LMAOed several times during this 😄
Oh shit Sean I was just laughing the whole way through.

Real tsundere moment there.
Hahaha Sean has told this story before, but it's still sooo funny!
no matter how many times i hear this (he told it before) its still funny
When he started saying that he pulled his neck muscle, I immediatly knew what noise he was going to make. He kinda told that part of the story before and it was so fucking funny.
I have heard this story before but holy shit its still SOOOO funny!
Forget Hearthstone Sean, just dedicate yourself to these videos
10th grade. The guy lurched in at the end of Home Alone II. Yeah. Good times : /
totally off topic, but I've never noticed Sean has piano hands! does he actually play, or is it the starcraft youth showing?
The STUPIDEST thing i've ever done was when i was 9'th grade and i went to a girl in my class that i had a major crush on (something like a year or something of buildup) and it was at the end of the year trip and and we were all exhausted from an about 10 km of a climb and we all set down and i went to her, you need to understand how i felt and probably looked: i felt like my heart is not pumping blood but iron, so it beat REALLY hard and i was sweating and all sorts of stuff. So i went to her almost fainting (you need to understand that it was the first time i interacted with a girl like this) and said: "Would you like to be my girlfriend"............ yup, you can laugh now.... She obviously said no (not like cold hearted cause i was one of her classmates) and i was devistated for over a year... Well it seems like it can only get better than this
Love you story 🤣
Lucky Felicity gets her story told twice!
If you like this one look up Day 9 accidental date. Enjoy:D
All this does is reminding me that I'm a couple of years older than him and _still_ haven't held a woman in my arms, let alone kissing her.
the crane thing made me lol so hard
‘Crabs’
This was about Kristen wasn't it? I remember this story.
Idk what weird forces conspired to make me watch this video today, but that thing you had with your neck happened to me this morning and it was the scariest fucking experience
Roll the dice!!
Had to reply when I heard Sean mention the movie - it reminded me of the 2 most brilliant/dumbass movie dates I've ever been on - and no, I am 100% not kidding:
Last Temptation of Christ
and
Schindler's List
that brought back memories of the worst (yet memorable) dates I've ever been on
Sean that was literally the worst first kiss I've ever heard. My first kiss came after a high school dance when I was 17. I previously was really over-weight and at this point I was somewhere awkwardly in between, so you know I had mad experience with the ladies. I asked if I could kiss her before I left her house after the dance, she said yes, I said I love you. She broke up with me the next week.
For my first kiss I invited over my girlfriend for something (I think we just watched a movie with my friends?). I got excited after she said something and spontaneously kissed her. I internally thought "that was shit, I'm gonna redo that" and so when we both got back on the sofa couch thing, I whispered in her ear "after this Imma kiss you", to which she quietly said "okay". After the thing, I kissed her/made out for a bit & in my mind effectively redid a first kiss into something okay.
I really wish see could see this video and see him now lmao
I laughed my head off :'D
Sean 'The Wet Mustache' Plott
Literally paused for over 24 hours to deal with cringe.
My first kiss consisted of me hitting my girlfriend in the face with my nose. We broke up, she told everyone I was a mistake. G.G.
anyone remember falicity?
The first time I watched a movie with a girl, we were 16 or 17, we watched Naked Lunch. That was awkward.
So when I saw the title of this video I thought it was about dating someone who was just a walking faux pas, like totally oblivious to every social convention. This is good too though.
He's told this story before.
Repost, not OC.
Haha! Best dating story ever!
reupload?
Well what he described in the first minute happened to me, maybe not so brutal though. It worked for me, got her on 1 date.
Thumb up for the Passion of Christ hahahahah
