ls32ssibm Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 So, about 30 minutes ago I was out walking my dog. This really cute blonde girl ran by me (was out jogging), and I noticed her going in the side door of my apartment building. I've only been here a week and haven't met anybody yet since I'm in the basement apartment (it's essentially street level). I flag her down, and ask her if she lives here. She says yes, so I introduce myself. We chat for the better part of 5 mins, I think it went well. She said she had to go because she started shivering (it's like 10 degrees out and she was sweaty). I went to check my mail and saw her first name (which she told me) and her last on her mailbox. I Facebooked her and saw she was a year younger than me, is obsessed with her dog sort of like I am. I also know her apartment number now. I was thinking about just going and knocking and asking, but I'm not sure. I can't find if she's in a relationship on social media or not, and it would be REALLY awkward if a dude answers the door. What would ya'll do?

Slip this note under her door, knock really hard, then run away. "If you don't go on a date with me, I will continue stalking you. I know where you live girl." 4
crederer Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 If I were you I'd just get right to the point. "hey, I'm going to 'x,y'z' tonight, and I'm looking for a date". 1
fixing Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah, you could get straight to the point like the above poster said, especially if you feel like the 5 minute chat went well. Or you could be a bit more coy about it and ask her to go out on a dog walk with yours, maybe hint that you want her to show you where a decent dog route is. She can show you, and then boom, ask her if she wants to go for a drink later that week.
Author ls32ssibm Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 I manned up and went ahead and did it. She said she had a boyfriend but said it was very sweet. She then told me she had a really cute single friend. The conversation then turned a bit awkward and I basically said "yeah, maybe" and let her get back to working out (it looked like she was doing P90X or something). Better than wondering what if I guess. Plus it's good practice. Think it's only the fourth girl I've ever asked out to face. 4

crederer Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Right on man. I know it didn't go as planned but good for you none the less. That took guts.

Author ls32ssibm Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) I'm guessing you didn't take her up on her single friend offer. I actually ran into her again on my way out and talked to her for a few more minutes. Her friend is a few years older than me (she was younger than me) and that's kind of a peeve/shallow thing of mine. I think I'll pass. Kind of like how girls prefer a guy whose taller I prefer a girl whose younger. Plus I've already done the "date the friend of the girl who I really wanted to date" thing and it didn't go well. Shame about this one, though. She was just wearing yoga pants too. FML. Edited November 26, 2013 by ls32ssibm
Ninjainpajamas Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Just do it for the experience...boyfriends don't last forever anyway, maybe you guys will just become "friends" or you can hang out at her place hosting a little sports event or whatever. Then you can see if you really click with this girl on a personal level, while also entertaining the other girl that might surprise you. Keep your options open, new place and all...never know what will come of it.
InnocentMan Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I think you moved in too soon and maybe scared her a little. Have you ever seen this alleged bf? Kudos with the investigative work btw, lol. Gals at work, and in your apartment building are slow burners. There's really no need to jump in with both feet, 2 minutes after meeting them. 1
Jame22 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 dude. She liked you enough to set you up with her friend. You should of took it.

Maybe you could be friends since you live in the same place. or at least good neighbors.
bubbaganoosh Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 How old are you? You say that her friend is older. Older doesn't mean she's collecting her social security. Should have at least asked to see a picture of her. You might have changed your mind and now you may have shot down a good thing 1

No, I haven't seen her boyfriend. It's a strong possibly that she was just letting me down easy but that doesn't seem to fall in line with the whole "friend" thing. Next time I'll probably go slower, but it does suck spending effort getting to know them just to find out they are taken. Maybe I'll just ask if they have a boyfriend next time. dude. She liked you enough to set you up with her friend. You should of took it. It's still up in the air, but like I said in my experience it creates an awkward dynamic dating the friend of a girl I really wanted to date. She suggested a "double" date sort of thing next week after the Holiday. I won't push it but if she comes to me I'll think about it. Edited November 27, 2013 by ls32ssibm
Author ls32ssibm Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 One last update, I did see her boyfriend today, so she was being honest about that at least.
