Philosophers predicted it would never happen. Physicists said that the universe would collapse on itself if it was even attempted. But you my friends, YOU CAN MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPEN!

Ok so heres how it goes, I’ve been in this English class for seven weeks now and since the first day I’ve had my eye on this girl. She’s physically my type, has a cute personality and is overall pretty attractive. We’ve kinda chit chatted a couple times in class but nothing serious, although I have to mention that recently everytime we talk she seems to be flirting more and more (I hope anyway, I mean, every time we I talk to her she always smiles and I also notice her looking at me when I’m reading and such). I glance at her ever once in a while and sometimes notice her glancing back (but me being one of the more talkative people in the class could have something to do with that). This is the last week of class (ending on monday) and basically I’ve been wondering if I should do anything about it. Being a discussion like class, we often end up in groups of like 3. In these 7 weeks we’ve been together twice, but as luck would have it we’re ending up in the same group till the end of this week (Thank god :D). So I take this as a very very good sign and chance to work up the guts to do something. Not having been in a relationship in a while I’m pretty lost here. I know this must sound like I’m back in ninth grade or something but hey, if I have a chance I don’t care how it comes to be. So what I need from you guys is all the advice you can throw at me. Should I do anything? If so how should I go about it? I’m I just crazy? … umm don’t answer that. I just know if I get the feeling that I had a chance and blew it I’m going to kick my own ass till I can’t sit anymore.

So lets start the countdown-
T minus 7 days to go (3 class days)

So dramatic...:heh:
Well, I say after class, go up to her, talk to her and ask her if she wants to hang out after school is out. Ask for her digits and you should be alright. Just don't try any cheap one liners. Be yourself and go for it.
Good luck young apprentice ;)

yeah one-liners = maybe a laugh but more likly a slap.

just play it cool and dont call her by the wrong name :)

Do it.

As class ends one of these next few days, see if you can leave the room at the same time she does... catch her right outside class, and ask her if she'd like to get a cup of coffee... or grab some lunch... or something like that. Something casual.

Take a shot. Regret is no fun, and there's nothing you can do once the chance is gone...

thats exactly what i was going to say...

i did this once - there was a gal in my aviation history class (hey, i was going for a commercial flight major ok?) that i had my eye on... i caught her on the way out of class one day, asked if she wanted to grab lunch. She almost agreed, unti lshe foudn out my car was on teh other side of campus, and she only had 30min for lunch. I never got the nerve to ask her again though.

close enough

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I really appreciate it. You got me pumped up :)
And nano... that story just makes me sad (yet strangely motivational), but being the muslim that i am, i'll just say it was for the best, and that it was the will of god :D

I'm about to ask the most general question ever... What are some good (and safe) topics to talk about?

ohh yeah, anytime i mention it will probably be a shocker... i kinda forgot to mention that i MIGHT HAVE heard her say she has a boyfriend, but its still worth a shot right?

Maybe now i should ask on the best ways to shrug off a rejection.

That is honestly how I met my wife. I had a German class in college down the hall from a class my wife was taking. I caught her and asked her out as she came down the hall after class (after saying hi to her at the same time each day for 2-3 weeks).

Regret is no fun and I've tried to live my life without any.

As Jase said, just do it Hapoo.

Yes... because this worked so well for you with latingirl, how could we all NOT want to follow your excellent plan after a demonstration like that? :P

Anyone up for a repeated beating with a stick? :heh:

walk up to her-tell her she reminds you of someone..ask her if she is related to Jane Doe (insert name here)tell her that's why you've been staring at her..otherwise she might think you are a stalker..then once you get talking, ask her if she knows of any good places to eat,drink,hang out,visit,etc..(am I correct to assume you are a college student here?)..then ask if she would mind joining you..GET SOME BALLS man..she's only a girl..so what if she has a boyfriend..if anything you can at least get to be friends with her so that when her looser boyfriend ditches her for some big busted blond she'll have you to fall back on!

Ask her out to coffee.
Safe subjects depend on her. Foe example music might be a safe subject, but it might bore the hell out of her, so what's the point? You must slyly determine her interests and get her to talk about them. Don't forget to ask questions to show your interest.
Avoid Religion, Politics, and sex as a topic over the first coffee/lunch.

Remember to smile and make eye contact (her eyes are not on her chest). Remember the color of her eyes... they will really ask that some times. You don't have to make a great impression, she already has an impresson of you from class. Just relax and be yourself. If it's meant to be, it will be.

At this stage you don't know if she has a BF or not, so I say go for it. If she has a BF, it's her job to tell you. As for what safe things to talk about are... I've never ever had a problem with girls that didn't have stuff to say. Just be there, nod your head a lot... and once in a while say "Uh huh... yep." "I feel the same way." "Definitely." and once in a while shout out "that b!t@#." If you can get your timing right on when you use those statements you don't even have to really listen to what she's saying and the conversation can go on for hours. Good luck and hope she doesn't have a BF. :)

Yep. Unless you're absolutely, positively sure she has a boyfriend, go ahead and ask.

Worst case scenario, she'll tell you she does. At least you'll know, you won't always wonder... and you'll probably make her day. It's flattering to be asked out, even if you can't accept. So you get a firm answer, and you pay her a compliment.

Best case scenario? She doesn't have a boyfriend, and, well, I'm sure you've already thought about that a whole lot more than we have. :P

you know, asking if she has a bf is actually an ice-breaker in itself. it automatically implies an interest...yet it's innocent enough to feign benign curiosity if she says she does. if she looks uneasy and says that she doesn't, then it also gives insight to her disposition. if she says yes, then...well you're on your own with that. but then again, she could do the "yes, but..." then start about how the relationship's not too good or whatever.

point being that you have nothing to lose if you ask if she has a bf. oh, nothing to lose...except your dignity :P

hapoo

07-30-2002, 03:49 PM

ok, heeeeeeeres the update

So I finished my homework just in time to get to class, BUT my printers messsed up so i left a little early so i could print it. Well my disk was messed up too. So i spent about an hour in the computer lab trying to get it to work. blah blah blah i finally came up with a solution and the paper was in my hand. So i skipped along my marrily way to class and got put into another group. Its all good, confidence is high. Half an hour went by as slow as molassis and the teacher finally let us out. Everyone rushed out except for her and her group, which is kinda strange since she's almost always the first to go. So i hang around outside with some guys i know in the class. She finally comes out and goes up to her car is about to hop in when i walk up. By this point theres no way i can stop, point of no return. So I asked her if she would like to hang out sometime and... (gotta add some suspense right?)

rofl :heh: , kinda off but i understood it without the translation. "kooneh bohzorg" means big butt. "kooneh bohzorg darree" is you have a big butt.
Sadly enough this one was as tight as they get.

damn hapoo, sorry to hear that. that's a big-time bummer.

on the positive side, she didn't turn you down. it had nothing to do with you. it's just that some assclown got there before you. keep looking..........

jase71

07-30-2002, 06:04 PM

Bummer news, Hapoo....

But whitak's right... she didn't turn you down, she was just already involved... and there's nothing you can do about that... (at least nothing legal :P )

And you don't have to wonder now "what might have been"... easier to move on to the next opportunity.

No fun in the short run, but in the long run, it's always better to know...

Bummer dude. Not a complete loss. At least this way you know. Now... go find another girl and ask her out. My theory... getting a girl is a matter of statistics. If you get rejected 99% of the time... then ask 100 girls out. You'll get one. Good luck. ;)

Therein lies the problem... i'm a picky SOB, not so much physically but more personallity.
Its all good though, i'm kinda over it, although about every hour i think of her and yell "crap" out of no where :P
I'm kinda curious to see what today's going to be like, first day since...

You sound like this guy who was in my German Travel Study group. His name was Alireza and he would approach and ask out every cute girl he saw. It was really pretty pathetic. I felt sorry for all of the girls he assaulted. I say don't be shy, but don't be a pest. I still always end up moving too slow, but things have almost always worked out for the best anyway...

Uh... a few things.
1. Good for you hapoo. I'm also very picky... and while I currently have a GF, I've also gone through long periods without one. I'm the kind of guy that is cool with that. You sound like you are one too. Most people that I know can't. :)

2. There is a difference between hitting on a lot of girls and just being a jerk. Alireza sounds like a jerk. My theory... if you wanna ask a girl out, fine. She has the right to say no without getting harassed. That's just wrong. :disa:
