elaina Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I have an idea. Let me give you guys an example of one girl I'm kinda attracted to and the few encounters I've had with her. There are probably 10 others like this that I see through my regular week, but this is just one example. She's in this one writing class I have. We've really only started talking the past few weeks (and this class doesn't meet often...once or twice every 2 weeks). First time I talked to her I went into her group, talked about common stuff, some books and movies...just getting to know her and the others. Since then we've been coming to class and editing each other's papers. Usually I'll walk in, she sees me and smiles, I smile back and sit down next to her. We'll exchange some dialogue...I'll usually make some kind of comment that makes her laugh. I'll do little stuff to tease and joke, like one day she smiled at me and said, "Can you read mine again? If you don't want to you don't have to..." I just grinned at her and said, "Mmm, yeah, I really don't want to," followed by a brief pause, us looking at each otherr, and then her smiling bigger, flipping her head back, and throwing the paper at me. She tends to compliment me a lot too. She's mentioned how much my comments on her paper have helped and how she thinks I'm smart. Now, with something like this I tend to say, "eh, she's just being nice," and maybe she is, but it can't hurt to try. I probably would have asked for her number by now, but she has a guy friend in that class who has kinda been c-blocking me...you know, interrupting our conversations and constantly trying to get her attention. Screw him though. Next time that class meets I'm gonna walk out with them and get her number whether he's there or not. I think I need to realize that every guy fails a lot and getting a few flaky girls shouldn't stop me. Yeah!!! That's awesome! Remember to be a gentleman but at the same time let the girl know you care enough to not let the other guy buffalo you. About failing, what are you talking about hmm? You didn't fail just cause the other girl decided to go for another guy... that was just her decision. People are free to make those. You are free to decide as well. I like that you are talking with this girl in your writing class and getting to know her as a friend too! That's a great way for a relationship to start!
