What can I say guy....if you're head over heels for her, do what you can to make it happen!


-=Vel=-

I am crying... Out of sheer joy... There was a horrible misunderstanding... She's not taken... This is amazing... THIS IS AMAZING!

Words can not describe this. All that angst and depressiong for naught!
This has taught me a valuable lesson. I promise to be much more swift in my moves...

[Ishtar]

You want her, boy, go get her. Don't hesitate...don't look back..for she may be gone when you turn around.

[Kassiopeia]

Yes. I am thinking of something very drastical.

"xxx, you have been the only reason I have had to wake up at mornings. Please, make me the happiest man in the world and go out with me?"

*Girl meeting joke alert*

Perhaps with so many pages someone has already posted this old joke, but here it is anyway...

Two guys sitting in a bar, Clem and Zeke, when a real babe walks in. Clem says to Zeke, "I'm gunna hit on this here hot girl". Zeke, "go for it".

So Clem walks over, and Zeke watches from the bar. He becomes very concerned when the girl smacks his friends face a schrewd blow. Clem walks back and sits down. "Hey, why did she smack you like that?" says Zeke. "I dunno, I just asked her if she wanted to ****."

Zeke says, "NO MAN! You gotta make conversation first, gets em warmed up..."

So in walks a second babe.

Clem says, "she's hotter than the first" Zeke says, "go for it, but remember what I told you."

So Clem walks over, Zeke watches. All seems to be going well at first, but then the girl slaps him silly. Clem walks back and sits down.

Zeke says "what happened this time?" Clem, "I did what you said and made conversation first, I said "Hi, do you like apples?" She said, "yes". Then I said, "you wanna ****?"

------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it, my only advise...never ask a girl if she likes apples.

[Kassiopeia]

OMG.

I have just asked a member of the opposite sex out. Via email, though, but I did and that's the main thing!
All is riding on this. If it works, good, if it doesn't, well, it doesn't.

And Vel; I added some self-written poetry to the message. Damn, this better work!

[Ishtar]

Good Luck Kass.!!

Keep us posted!!

Ok......Flirting is a game. But it breaks down shyness. Putting your shoulder on a girl goes on a long way...and doing it often, helps them get used to the idea of you touching them. Blind/first Dates are a ***** for me, im nervous, your smoking a gillion ciggarrettes ruining my cologne. And a million things are running through my mind.


Some tips

1) Never, EVER, Leave Dead air! By that I mean, never let there be a moment of silence for more than 10 seconds. Ever, this is a total bunk. You have to talk about somthing. Cover areas from work, life, residence, politics. Really anything. if she shows interest. Go for it....keep her' engaged in it. But Dead air is a killer.

2) Girls love jokes and demeaning humilation I dont know why. but that drives them nuts when you humour yourself......and other things. Like Once I was at red lobster and purposely said "You look good enough to eat.....I mean, this scampi" . Oh try to get close to them. It starts with getting them to have a bite of your food...But dont get to cocky. It doesnt improve your chances. Many things you can do...Margarita's are awesome mating drinks. The whole Salt licking thing


3) If you can get them back into your place for a few drinks. Show them around. I have an awesome collection of Star Wars memorabilla that always gets em talking. Ok, Your in good shape. Watch a movie or somthing..I say one thing at this point. Go for the feet. Why? Women love to have there bare feet stoked. Dunno why. It might be smelly.....but somthing about the feet, always get em' goin and opening up and talking more. Never ask for sex on the first date. If it happens, bye all means dont resist! But its kinda rude. You just want to get them to like you, and want to see you again.


A few other things. You should always be the ride. Make sure your car is clean. Once I left a pair of wet socks on my dashboard. Not cool..

Also, asking out a girl by e-mail never works. Or does, it, k-man?

Eh, well, at least it's not the fastest means available.

[Kassiopeia]

But I must defend my actions on the facts that by that time, I desperately sought to contact her. I had no chance of doing it the old-fashioned way; nor do I have her phone number.
If there's no response this weekend, that is, Sunday, I must rely to the face-to-face method, as difficult as that may be.

Sure it does...maybe not every time...but...on occasion...
