But keep it limited otherwise its just standard info crap and thats booring lol
Author CLC2008 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Stop it with these subtle hints. Go up to him, say hello, and flirt. It's women like you that makes me hate dating with a passion! Don't pressure me you South Park character of some sort.
Raderick Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Don't pressure me you South Park character of some sort. You're damn right I'm pressuring you. Just freaking talk to him. With all of this time you're typing these replies to my posts, you could be setting up your first date with him.

But keep it limited otherwise its just standard info crap and thats booring lol That sounds good. I think I will just try to be outside around the same times as him work wise, and smile and say hello. I know I sound like a weenie, but, it's mainly because he just moved in and he lives across the street and I am not going to knock on a strange man's house with cookies in hand out of no where.

I know I sound like a weenie, but, it's mainly because he just moved in and he lives across the street and I am not going to knock on a strange man's house with cookies in hand out of no where. A neighbor (gay guy) made a batch of brownies when I moved into my apartment, just out of the blue. Granted, I'm not gay, nor do I eat chocolate (gave them to friends that were over that night) but I very much liked the gesture. Needless to say he comes over every week for poker and we shoot the **** almost every day.
LisaLee Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I'm not really comfortable at this point bringing him baked goods or bringing over a bottle of wine though, but all goods things to take into consideration. I could always ask him nicely to come mow the lawn. What is there to be uncomfortable about? You're just bringing him a "welcome to the neighborhood" gift.
Author CLC2008 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 yea the cookie thing is too much too fast of course i am assuming that idea was a playful joke? lol Most certainly. I think Tigress mentioned it first as playful banter. But yeah just a joke, I would not feel comfortable bringing cookies over to someone's house I didn't know.
tigressA Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I was totally serious, and still am. That kind of thing is a traditional "welcome to the neighborhood" gesture; it's not like he'd think you're weird or creepy right off the bat for doing it. And it gives you a convenient excuse to chat him up. But if you're really uncomfortable with the idea, just go the more subtle route for now.
Star Gazer Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I feel weird just walking over there and introducing myself being that I live right next door. Huh? Isn't that all the more reason to introduce yourself? I introduce myself to all my neighbors...
Author CLC2008 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Huh? Isn't that all the more reason to introduce yourself? I introduce myself to all my neighbors... Really? I've never really done that. I mean, if I am in a public setting, I am a lot less cautious. And especially if I'm out and I've had a drinky poo or two. I generally get to know all my neighbors by being outside and around them over time, but not a random single man just moving in next door and going up to him. But like I said, I am going to make myself more available around him and smile, wave, etc. and then go from there.
LisaLee Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I introduce myself to all my neighbors, too. I have given and received gifts as well. It is the neighborly thing to do.
Hot Carl Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Here's the thing, I feel weird just walking over there and introducing myself being that I live right next door. What would be some some good ways to strike up a conversation with him? My ex girlfriend used to go out on her enclosed porch in her underwear to water her plants. Her porch wasn't so enclosed that her neighbor didn't notice. He soon came over to knock on her door and have a chat.

Hot Carl Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I was just trying to give you an idea how you could get a conversation started.
Author CLC2008 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 I was just trying to give you an idea how you could get a conversation started. Oh, lol. Trust me, I am sure I could get the party started very easily, that way.
Hot Carl Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Oh, lol. Trust me, I am sure I could get the party started very easily, that way. I saw your pictures. I agree you probably could. But also maybe if you pay attention you'll catch him out watering his plants in his underwear. That will be your signal.

crfsti Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Agreed. Well, I've seen him on the weekends wearing a baseball uniform, so I presume he plays on a baseball league. Maybe I could throw a baseball in his backyard or something? Yes! Step #1: Throw the baseball through his window, then go over and ask if you can go in to get it...hopefully it rolled into his bedroom;) And if your a bad aim, Step #2: Try the old burning bag of dog **** on the front porch....get a laugh out of it, then go over and confess about it...should make for a good icebreaker and give you two something to talk about for hours, should work like a charm:love: I really should be getting paid for this stuff I come up with:cool:
xpaperxcutx Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I suggest you head on over there and ask for cups of sugar, which would then lead to baking cookies for him. You: Hi, I don't suppose you have a cup of sugar? Him: Um... yeah I think so... You: Thanks so much ( insert flirty giggle). I'm making chocolate chip cookies and ran out of sugar. You're such a lifesaver ( insert flirty giggle).
xpaperxcutx Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Since summer isn't exactly over just yet, how about a bikini car wash? Makes a good excuse to get him to spy on you in your two piece.
dispatch3d Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Mow you lawn, and accidently mow onto his side of the lawn. ****! Now you have to go tell him you mowed his lawn by accident. You would also like to welcome him to the neighborhood. Yadayada. Be inviting and have a couple things to talk about, and figure out a way to go from talking about accidently mowing his lawn to some other topic. Expect him to be nervous initially as he will not be prepared to talk to you. You could also water your lawn, and have the watering "accidently" spray onto his house. These damn accidents are annoying!
Green Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I wonder if he thinks you're cute. Maybe he sits and wonders what you look like naked and what it would be like to touch your skin and hold you. Maybe... just maybe he listens to this song (lionel Richies "hello") while he stares longly out the window at you. Maybe he has a troubled past like he was in love with a girl who died tragicly and now he feels guilty to move on even though his feelings for you grow each day... and he wonders if you are lonely and if some one is loving you... he wants to know how to win your heart but hasn't got a clue but he already feels he loves you.
Author CLC2008 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Nothing is impossible! I believe that you will become a couple as long as you are brave enough. Thanks. The other comments ^^^^....oh so silly, and some better than others.
