923 Entries for “asking”

  1. I’m asking you a question about how you came here, met me, saw me, wanted me, fell in love with me, became a part of me. I’m asking you a question about how any of this was possible or if any of this could have been possible any other way. I’m asking you if you want to go back to the way it was, before the end. That’s all, really.

    Elliot Ninjabeam Trinidad
  2. Perhaps I’m asking too much of life these days. Is it too horrible to try to be secure and free spirited? Will I always have to live with the anxiety? Shame.

  3. Four year old’s incessantly ask “why.” Apparently, this is something we grow out of as we get older. Are there really more answers than there are questions in the world? Or do we simply forget how to ask questions in the first place?

  4. curiosity.
    childishness.
    immaturity.
    wonder.
    all that really comes to mind with the work ‘asking’ is a young boy in a typical little kid outfit looking up with complete amazement in his eyes asking an adorable, simple question.

  5. Don’t stare at me.
    ( I can read you. )

    I am merely a puppet.
    ( and you touch your hair
    perhaps your arm, or your cheek )

    You are like a cat,
    and I am the one with the ball of string.

  6. it always gets you, right where it makes you stop and think, makes you stop and wonder why or how or what or even who, makes you and breaks you and sometimes the other side of it comes out upside down or with an exclamation attached to it. you never know and it doesn’t hurt. there some justice in it and you’ll always be received.

  8. i’m asking you a question. why do you do this to me? why do you feel the need to torture me so much when i’ve been nothing but faithful to you as a friend. i’m loyal. you’re not. i guess that’s just what i have to learn to deal with. and i will learn to deal with it, but not without asking you why. why are you making me deal with it? after all those years of support, from both of us, why are you suddenly leaving me hanging like this? and for a girl you barely know… i’m asking why. i’m asking why. i’m asking why.

  10. He wasn’t asking for much. Just some time. He needed to think and he didn’t want to come up with the wrong answer. Making mistakes wasn’t his style. This was so important and her question, their situation…

  12. I stood on one knee and knelt for the longest thirty seconds of my life. My heart was beating out of control and my blood was pumping through my veins. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think, all I could do was wait. Then she said the word I was hoping for.

    “yes”

  14. What? Is there something to say about this? Should I only write questions? Is that what this word’s asking from me? Does anyone know the answer? To everything? Does someone know the right thing to do? Is asking useful in any way? Are there definite answers?

  17. I ask things of people but do I really want anything. What do I really want? Do I want what I ask for? Do I know what I want? Does it matter what I want? I don’t know but maybe it will hit me some day. I really should do that thing that I should do and I am distracting myself.

  18. asking questions. asking why. all the time asking. we ask and ask and ask. but does the universe answer. does anyone answer, ever. when we write we always ask a lot of questions, at least i do, but maybe that’s just when i’m writing in my journal or blog, not writing fiction. anyway, this time i’m not asking. see, no question marks. that means no asking, right. right. that’s it, that’s all there is. just do. there is no try. that would be a question mark, for humor.

  19. Asking is the polite thing to do.
    Asking isn’t always easy.
    Asking nicely works better than demanding.
    She is asking him to go.
    Are you asking him out?
    Asking her to marry me was the greatest thing I ever did.
    She just keeps asking and asking and asking until I finally break down and let her go.
    Asking questions is a great way to learn quickly

  20. Now I’m asking myself, when are they going to change this? When are they going to offer me a different word? Why are they asking me to type about “asking” over and over again, as if there aren’t better words or other words or more words or more poignant words? Stop asking me about asking, Oneword.com! Give me something else to sink my teeth into!

  21. asking a question, the young boy raised his hand. Have you ever gotten in trouble for asking a question? “Geez, I was just asking!” you might say. The only stupid questions are those that are never asked. How can you learn if you never ask?

  22. when you need to do something and you don’t have control of, it’s all about control the world is being controled by aliens from a distant world not human but close they want our brain as they are all dieing

  23. I was asking my fiance about what he will be wearing in his button hole at our wedding next year. He said I’m always asking him what he will doing but the main thing is that he’s there on the day, standing at the aisle, waiting for me to arrive knowing that when he asked me to be his wife back in March the year before when we were standing on Sydney Harbour Bridge, he asked the right question and had the right answer.

  24. What is it about asking that makes it a pain in the ass? Is it just that then you have to silently stop and listen to the answer, thus, losing momentum and focus?

  25. Time stops as eyes meet; the hands move but her soul is still.

  27. i asked where we were going and you said, Just enjoy the ride. and i looked out over the cliff

    and you said shut your eyes
    and i did
    and the wind blew threw my hair
    and the world passed me by.

    you stopped the car and said, i’m sorry.
    i’m going to have to ask you to get out.
    because it was time for you to get on.

  28. I hate asking for anything from anyone. Especially you. You think I’m weak when I’m not. Maybe you’re right though because mostly I wsnt to ask you to disappear from my life and stop making me feel this way. But I don’t have the strength to do it.

  29. I’m asking him a question and he doesn’t seem to know how to answer it. I’ve asked him the same thing over and over. “Will you do it?” It would be life changing to say the least. Well, if he had a life it would be. But donuts, videogames, porn, and painkillers don’t count and the army would be good for him.

  30. i’m asking you to look inside yourself
    really. suck in your eyes and look at your brain.
    can you feel it working?
    does it need some tuning?
    what about your heart?
    need some repair?
    take the time to look at yourself.
    now put your eyes back and
    ask yourself, what have you learned?

  31. You need to ask people questions to recieve an answer. Many times this is how you figure out what needs to get done. You may ask questions to learn something about someone or something as well.

  32. Asking refers to questions. There are so many different questions out there. I once asked a girl if she loved me. It was a moment of tension, extreme tension. The type of love that’s unrequited is undoubted the worst. But she smiled, and nodded in perfect unison to the beat of my fluttering heart.

  33. It seems that were always aking, always needing requiring something else, something more extraveagent. when all we need is in our own backyard. we have all the tools, were just unwilling to work for it. how sad. just reach beyond what we can see…

  34. I’m asking myself, what in the world am I doing on the computer when I should be doing my summer reading? There are so many things to be asked, but I keep quiet, knowing that I will be okay- for the while. I don’t like asking much.

    sami
  35. if i ever have to do that without asking it will be a miracle. I know people just want me to go ahead and ask and ask but, please, can’t it just be spontaneous? Asking is okay for formal situations but what about living, being, grabbing on to life and just going?

    Kell
  36. He sat in the classroom completely obsolete. It was obvious his eyes were heavy and he was slowly but surely falling asleep.

    “what is the answer to the question, Mr. Riley?” The teacher asked as she slammed the ruler against his table.

    Tomy Wilkerson
  37. It was the hardest thing she had ever done. He was vulnerable and she was hurt. He had looked at her so lovingly and so kind, she had to break there eye contact for she thought she might cry. She took a deep breath and said- “I’m sorry”

    Sydni
  38. Questioning, or requesting.
