How to Ask a Girl Out in My Grade

[Joel]

Your welcome, Marlon.

But this time I was just a parrot.

Don't worry, that proves intelligence...being a parrot can be a very efficient way of operating

You're 13 eh? Cup of coffee might not work then. Hmmm it really depends on the local status quo. Ask to do something simple with you though, then if she likes you ask her to go out somewhere like movies, or whatever 'you' want to do.

I'd like to know what you mean by 'acts weird'. Exactly what does she do?

And i thought i was going to be the first one to notice.

I would give advice, but people who follow my advice end up like me, so i'll spare you and not accelerate the inevitable jadedness.

I would love a guy to make dinner for me. Excellent advice. Also poetry and if you play an instrument that is wonderful. A guy wrote me a poem then recorded himself reading it, first in Italian (his language), then translated into English and gave me the cd in a case that he did a beautiful art cover for. Girls love that kind of thing. He also made me cds of music that he composed and played. These personal things are so much more touching than something bought at a store.

if you write poetry, make sure it is not lame. Keep it funny and witty...I once wrote a poem for my girlfriend, titled : what a woman she is...

If you speak Italian, you have a big advantange.

NEVER BRING UP SCIENCE IN ITS MOST DIRECT MANIFESTATION...

And avoid phrases like "direct manifestation".

 

[SpaceTiger]

Yes! Another excellent idea, make a fool of yourself!

So that's why I'm fighting them off with a stick...

Theres a girl in my grade. I kind of like her and she might like me. How should i ask her if she likes me? When she's walking down the hall or something talking to one of her friends and i come by she stops and acts all wierd. Help me please.

Do you know her name? Does she know yours?

If not, introduce yourself. As her if she would join you for lunch.

Music/movies are good topics. Hopefully, you'll have something in common.

What classes is she taking/what teacher?

What does she think about . . . .?

Make a list of topics - 5 or 6, maybe more, just in case there is little or no response.

If you don't know each other, dinner or poetry may be a little premature. If you do a poem, make it short and sweet.

Also consider Evo's advice, personal things for which you make an effort show more thought and consideration than something bought at a store.

Also be prepared for the fact that you might not be compatible, and then just be satisified that you made the effort and you made a new friend (hopefully you'll stay friends if it doesn't work out).

I hope things work out positively.

I love guys that aren't afraid to be funny in public.

I'll never forget a chemical engineer I dated. We went to a restaurant with my best friend Cindy. She smoked cigarettes, and we didn't. We were sitting at the table and listening to a band that was playing and I turned to say something to him and he had a cigarette shoved up each nostril and one sticking out of each ear.

I doubt it if Evo is really telling the truth here. Besides, have you guys counted how many men Evo has dated up till this very last post ?

I mean, we have had the Shakespeare guys, the Italian, now the chemical cigarette guy, who will follow ?

Cigarette story is true.

I rarely dated anyone longer than three months. By the third month you can usually tell if the person has "long term" potential and if they don't, no sense in prolonging the inevitable.

This explains the... (how many marriages was that again?)...

"Why are women so much more interesting to men than men are to women?", Virginia Woolf dixit.
Begin to be acquaintanced with the idea.

I think mrs Woolf did not have a clear view on the dating aspect of society

What criteria did you use in order to judge a guy's long term potential?
