The one being immature and disrespectful at this point is you. If you were truly sorry and had learned anything from this, you would gracefully bow out and respect his wishes after what you did instead of taking the easy route and having the fucking gall to put the blame on him to make yourself feel better.

Your self-justification is pitiable.

And no. Just apologising doesn't cut it. Not if you're just being selfish and trying to make yourself feel better about what you did by apologizing. Jim has every right not to want anything to do with you ever again, and you have no right to feel pissed off about that. If you really, only for a second actually had aknowleged your mistakes honestly you'd know that. He owes you nothing. least of all, respect. You gambled that away thoughtlessly.

To understand what you did: Shy people are usually social outsiders. They are to some level used to being target of pranks and built some sort of emotional shielding. This mostly involve to not trust anyone and always expect to be target of a joke. What you did got past this defenses, so this time you really hurt him. This will make him even more defensive in the future and he'll probably trust people even less.

What you can do: apologize and wait. Maybe he'll never forgive you, maybe he will - in months or even years. So don't force any contact, but apologize regularly. The only one who might have a chance to talk to him right now is Ashley, but don't bet on it. And don't expect her to save your ass, the only thing she could possibly do is relieve some of the pain. But it is very possible he'll not talk to her too.

And you should say what you did to his parents. It is not unheard of that people commit suicide over such a thing or do other stuff, so you should fully explain what you did to his parents so they could react accordingly.

The good message: If you behave he might forgive you and you can be friends again - some years down the line.

hahaha.. hahaha.. ow man.. classic.. thread of the year just because of FattyDingDong response about respect.. xD

You see, that's the problem. Just because you're older than him doesn't mean you need the respect that comes with it, especially how awful you behaved towards him. And look who's talking of immature... Mr. Apologize-to-me-because-I'm-bigger-than-you. He deleted you from everywhere? It happens. It simply means he doesn't want you to bombard him with comments. It's not the end of the world. It's not like it's a permanent deletion. And good job blaming the victim just because him not apologizing to you doesn't make you feel better. You're better off not saying anything yet.

Like I said before: let the time heal the wounds. If his parents know everything in detail, you don't need to tell them anything anymore. Just give it time and maybe he'll approach you. Maybe. And if you feel guilty about everything, you should've thought about it before planning that shitty prank "for the lulz". Hopefully, you've learned for what you did.

It was no big deal until you told him. People and specially women are cruel and shallow, this was bound to happen to someone like him. He would actually learn how to doubt people, which is a good thing in both practical and philosophical sense(read Liar Game). But now he sees you as a thug. And probably thinks being an irresponsible delinquent is the right way to deal with women. You really fucked up.

You are one of the biggest fucking asshole's I have ever seen, and that's with myself included. You completely destroy this kid's heart, and now you demand him to act "mature" towards you! Keep this attitude up, and someone stronger than you will punch you in the face. Little gag joke's can be funny, but this certainly was no "prank". Shame on you! Hopefully your cousin doesn't speak to you for a long time! Maybe then you'll realize how much of a sad person you must be in order to do such a thing!

And this is the type of stuff that drives some people to depression and worse. You're a moron.

It amazes me how people can create a reaction from us. Great Andy Kaufman dude. Very dadaistic. Fucking awesome!

Yes clearly he's the one being immature. I'm glad he doesn't want to see you again, everyone in this world would be better if you weren't in their life.

WTF?! I'm reading the post and I'm thinking "No way! This has got to be a joke." Are you that insane in the membrane to not know when to stop? What 21 or 22 year old(3 or 4 years older than Jim) plans to do the fake girlfriend prank at that age? It's quite clear you haven't matured as an adult after turning 18. I get still trying to get accustomed to being an adult mentally, but there are some things that are just obvious common sense. This is one of those things.

This is you: "So my cousin Jim is 18 years old now and he is a bit shy and timid around girls and has never had a girlfriend or even any friends. Although he is a pretty smart kid at school and excels in each class. So me and my other cousin Tom love to tease him a lot for our amusement (yes it's horrible and we shouldn't..). But he is always nice about it and never gets mad at us.. perhaps because he knows we are bigger than him and he can't hurt us? or maybe its just that he has a kind heart, that could also be a reason why."

Me: So you're an asshole who acknowledges that you're an asshole and continues to embrace it because Jim doesn't get mad.

You: "So anyways recently my other cousin Tom suggested we should ask one of our female friends to "pretend" to like Jim and show interest in him.. We thought that would be hilarious."

Me: End of thread.

I'm glad Jim did the right and removed you from his life. I'm surprised it took this long. Best hope he's not plotting on you.

As for that 2nd update:

You're saaaaad that Jim is ignoring youuuuuu. You don't deserve forgiveness. You're scum.
