xpaperxcutx Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I'm talking to artist guy right now online, and he's spending friday home working on his commissioned paintings. I brought up the fact that I want to head out to Manhattan this evening and probably enjoy a sushi meal. His response? " Nice". Do I have to spell it out for him? He wanted to go out on a date with me, and the opportunity just presented itself. But he's not making a move to ask to come with me. I thought men like coyness, and I'm trying to be flirty. But he's not even making a point to meet up with me.

The man wants to paint his pictures.

You make me sound like a golddigger.

I'm sure he picked up on the hint but like I said, there's some canvases at his crib that need attending to. Accept that or mooooooooove ooooooooooooooooooooon. There's that nasty "my way or the highway" trait again. Ugh.

There's that nasty "my way or the highway" trait again. Ugh. Wow, I really don't like your attitude. I thought most men would love a date, whether it'd be with me or anyone else. Like I said, I can pay for my own, thank you very much. I never said I wanted him to pay, and neither am I looking for someone to support me. I can support myself. I also never said it was my way or the highway. Maybe you just have your balls twisted in a knot.
kizik Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Mayyyybe you should ask HIM out instead of playing stupid games.
Trialbyfire Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 xpapercutz, you can't lead a guy like that. Either you're going to ask him out or you let him make the moves. Halfway just leaves you hanging.
The Collector Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 She probably wants him more now he's chosen to work on his commission than drop it for sushi. Real dense.

Our conversation just delved into nice weather and american apparel. And I wasn't trying to lead him on. I just never really asked a guy out before
kizik Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Oh, ok... so you were trying to compliment the male gender with the title of this thread? You get what you give. Don't act so clueless when you're the antagonist.

Our conversation just delved into nice weather and american apparel.Let it drift away. Don't throw out bait. Let him hunt. or... Just ask him out, point-blank.
Els Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 When I read this kinda stuff it makes me wonder if your girlfriend is REALLY the problem. Funny. I ceased wondering a long time ago. Papercut, I agree that that was a HUMONGOUS hint... any bigger and it would've flattened him, seriously. But surely you don't have anything to lose by asking him directly? Saves you a lot of frustration at his obliviousness too.
donnamaybe Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 And I wasn't trying to lead him on. I just never really asked a guy out before It might be a little embarassing at this point to ask him out for the sushi, but you're such a CUTE girl! Don't worry about asking a guy out, fer cryin' in the rain! Ask him out for another time - soon!

Don't act so clueless when you're the antagonist. I wasn't trying to bash men. God you needn't have made such a fuss. I just wrote it because I was typing too fast. I would change it but honestly I don't really think I would even want to now.
kizik Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I would change it but honestly I don't really think I would even want to now. To quote your Van Gogh: "Nice."
mr.dream merchant Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Nah, what I'm saying is get off your high horse. The man wants to do what he wants to do and that's a problem for you. Oh because you hinted at a date he's supposed to drop his life off a cliff and get crackin on that Old Spice Bodywash? Come on.
Author xpaperxcutx Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 Let it drift away. Don't throw out bait. Let him hunt. or... Just ask him out, point-blank. TBF he asked to meet up Sunday, and in a way I'm relieved. But I really didn't know how to reply so I basically just stopped typing. I don't really know what to do now.

Oh because you hinted at a date he's supposed to drop his life off a cliff and get crackin on that Old Spice Bodywash? Come on. I think you need to reread this thread until you have every word imprinted in that little head of yours. I'm not on a high horse. I only said I wanted to go out to manhattan for dinner. He could easily have asked to join me, and I would absolutely have been excited to say yes.
Die Hard Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 He could easily have asked to join me, and I would absolutely have been excited to say yes.This is so stupid. What's he supposed to do, ask you "can I please tag along"? He'd sound like a bitch doing that. Either a woman asks me out, or I ask her out, but I don't, and will never, ask a chick if I can "tag along" with her or "join her" somewhere. If you want someone to go with you somewhere, try inviting them. It has a funny way of working.

I'll aks him then
