Funnyman42 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I want to make a grand gesture telling an awesome woman that I like her A LOT. I don't want it to just be your typical run of the mill stuff either. Any suggestions?
Feelin Frisky Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Don't pull anything---cusacks or any other kind of sacks. Just do the smart thing and make sure she's in the mood for love (with you)--or verbal expressions thereof. 1
trist Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I just laughed out loud... we're talking about that scene where he's in the trench coat holding the ghetto blaster above his head outside her window? I never watched the movie but there's a reason that's in the 80's... I don't think it'd have the same effect if you held your iPod above your head and turned on the external speaker... with that said, I've always been a firm believer in subtlety... here's my take on it... you start off a relationship like that, you're going to have a difficult time topping that performance... start small, start basic, work your way up... what usually works for me is when I tell the girl; "so what time are you picking me up for dinner?" I dunno why but that one always works... 1
Ursa Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I think it's a lovely idea to make a grand gesture for a woman you care about--if you are already involved with her in a loving relationship. Many, many women really, really do dig that **** and it can go a long way towards 'sweeping her off her feet' if that's what you're trying to do. However, I would caution against trying this approach with a woman you don't know well, don't already have a romantic understanding with. It's hard to understand the mechanics of your situation, given the sparse details--if you don't know if she's already on your team, as it were, you don't know if she would welcome the intimacy or if it would blow up in your face. Now, you might want to take that chance, and kudos to you if your heart is that brave--mine would not be, so I would be impressed with your courage. But I would hope you would be prepared for the strong possibility that it could go wrong in that case, and I wouldn't want you to be hurt if she turned out to be the type of ill-bred woman to be unkind.
dasein Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 You can look at it as a "Cusack" or as standing on the stoop trying to get into "Fight Club," all a matter of perspective and context. As far as whether doing something like that ever pays off, I have seen it work once for a friend of mine, and fail a whole bunch of times for my friends and myself.
Ursa Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 As far as actual suggestions go--which is what you asked for--it's really hard to give specific ideas without knowing anything about this woman's likes and dislikes, or what your personal strengths are. A grand gesture is always better if it's personally tailored, IMO.
InJest Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Write a poem for her, follow her around, and when she's with her friends, jump out and read the poem to her in front of her friends.
FitChick Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I hate to break it to you but movies are not real life.
Anela Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 The line I remember most from that movie is, "I gave her my heart, and she gave me a pen." It is sweet if you're involved, otherwise it might be a bit much.
