Very descriptive...
I don't remember a time when she had any confidence. Her original excuse was that she was too scared to ask. Has she come up with any new ones?

~Czardas, Supreme Ruler of the Universe

Apart from being 'ugly', she also thinks Mr. Geek doesn't fancy her.

geek ( P ) Pronunciation Key (gk)
n. Slang

A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.


That was the dictionary.com definition. I'm certainly not socially inept. And I don't bite off chicken heads either. Since I'm so damn preoccupied with my academic life, I should sleep now and be prepared for tomorrow's lectures.

Since I'm so preoccupied with my work that I don't even care. It does not make me a dumbass in anyway.

No, but what does make you one is the derogatory comments you have been making in this thread against a particular person very popular on this forum who was asking for some advice.

Ack, she doesn't have to ask! You'll never get her to do that. What she needs to do is put him in a situation where he'll feel confident enough to ask.

Regarding the snuggling suggestion above, I should add that it also has the benefit that you're not committing yourself by it. If he does nothing, you can simply pull back. If it made him feel too uncomfortable, you can just say you were fooling around.

In my opinion, it's a win-win.

(And if you snuggled up to me, you would win my heart in a second, but then that's a whole other matter... ;) ).

are you calling me, you?

Let me rephrase that. Who is you?

Yes. While getting him drunk might help your odds, it will most probably mar his performance, due to the lack of fine motor control.

Even if you don't feel like exposing yourself, you could go and find somewhere private, press him against a wall, begin full-on kissing him, rubbing your hand along his body, pressing a condom into his hand...

Might have worse odds for success than giving him a condom and whipping off your pants, though.

As for you being ugly... well, you're not ugly. I don't find you particularly attractive, but then, I'm not really into large women. :D
by large women you'd better mean my boobs dude, cause i ain't fat!
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and most us think she's lovely. Nor do you have to insult her if you happen to disagree.

Not to mention that she's not just physically lovely; if you've been paying attention to her posts, here and elsewhere, she also happens to be intelligent (far above the average in these fora, in any case!), and to me at least she has a gorgeous personality.

TInk, when I'm on MSN do you want me to try and contact him directly (i.e., when he's online)? Just in case he simply didn't receive that e-mail.
no, don't do that, I'm just gonna give up




and you shouldn't have a go at Sino because he's the only one willing to tell the truth about how i look

FIRST OF ALL: Sino is of chinese origin.

SECOND: He's a freak.

:( May I ask why? What about that last suggestion of mine; wouldn't you want to give that a go? There are many ways you can make him understand you're interested, without having to expose yourself to embarassment or rejection.

Eh, no. What I said in that post you quoted was what I sincerely think and feel. You're a lovely young lady, and in addition to your very real physical attractiveness I find you intelligent, and I like your personality (the latter two being linked, obviously). I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. Really. Dropping all kidding, I'm quite serious.

*huggles Tink*

Hey, honey...I haven't read much of the thread...just the first page and the last, so forgive me if this isn't exactly what you needed.

As a geeky girl who has solely attracted geeky guys, the secret is no secret at all...be you. Most of all, be passionate about the things you are passionate about. Geeks are simply people who are passionate about things that the rest of the world doesn't value (or not as highly). Besides, then if he falls, he'll be falling for the real you.

And if he doesn't, babe...well, maybe he wasn't the right one. Hard to hear when you really like someone, but everyone deserves somebody who loves them for who they truly are. That goes double for a gem like you.

If you ever need a friend, babe, email me. I'm not going to be on MSN much.

Love you, girl. :fluffle:

Don't you 'bleh' me! :p

I said it and I mean it. Nor am I the only person to think so. Can you please at least accept that there are people who think you're lovely - in a every way, physically but also in terms of intelligence and personality?

it is true that most geeks speak better online than in person

Good. :)

And, still with serious mode on, if it can help you feel more confident about yourself: From what I know of you, if I ever met you in real life, I would very much want to ask you out, for all those reasons I've told you. Not just your looks, but because you're a great person too.

Only, I'd probably be too shy. ;)

So, If I can't get any job, i must be more ugly than you.

Premise 2: Tink couldn't get a job.

Premise 3: Tink has got a job

Premise 4: I haven't got a job

Conclusion: I am ugly, and uglier than Tink

Tink - Either make the effort or don't, but if you don't you may look back and wish you had. I had a major fear of rejection in high school (which gradually went away and now I'm old and married and have 1-year-old twins :) ). When I looked back at my high school days I realized there were girls interested in me but I was too clueless to notice at the time. Even later when I did start getting a clue, I still had that fear of rejection, or doing and saying all the wrong things.

Maybe he is interested but too clueless to notice you are too...
Maybe he has noticed but he's still scared...
Maybe he likes you but he's crushing hard on someone else...
Maybe x 1000000....

You can either ask him directly or ask a mutual friend to find out for you if you really want to know what he's thinking. If you want to try to help things along without asking, maybe you could ask him to walk you home from a group outing or maybe ask for a backrub or something...

And please stop saying you think you're ugly. I think you're being insincere. Most people who consider themselves ugly wouldn't post their pictures as often as you. (Not a slam, just an opinion). Many people here find you attractive, but not everyone will. Just a fact of life... (And I went through my own "I'm ugly!" stage, so I understand...)

Best of luck!

Y'know, I have the same problem. I've decided that I'm totally hideous too.

Of course, unlike you, I'm right. :p

Dunno how to make you snap out of it. I will, however, point out that people who like you will find it very tiring, very quickly. Try not to overdo it. I did once. It didn't work out at all...

Well, it's a symptom of a larger problem. See, you seem to have this mental image of yourself built up. One that isn't healthy.

Now, there's one thing I want you to do with that mental image:

THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW.

Yeah, ok, it's hard. But you can do it. I should know, as right now, I'm dealing with this. But it's something you NEED to get out of your system - it's not healthy, and it's holding you back - generally, anything that doesn't help you hinders you. And thinking of yourself this way IS NOT HEALTHY AND IS HOLDING YOU BACK.

If you don't ask, you'll never know. I know this one all too well.

EDIT: ok, I'll put it this way. If I wasn't on the other side of the world, you'd definitely be on my "try to gather courage to ask out" list.

As for Tink, can someone please submit an unbiased description (I can't open the pictures damned slow server :() so that we don't have to find a picture or anything to judge for ourselves?

The problem with chatting over the internet is identity. Sure, the dumb geeks will go after anything feminine showing up in the chat rooms, but the smart ones go with 'male until proven female' sort of thing (like right now, I don't know for sure you're a girl).
But speaking as a dork (NOT a geek) the best course of action is just showing continued interest in the guy. Maybe you have to take the initiative, but don't do it too much. I was so shy, my girl had to give REALLY obvious hints to make me ask her out. But once you do get one in your grasp, you got him hook, line, and sinker.

I'm an example for all dorks and geeks to follow. I've been dating a beautiful model for two and a half years. And the future's looking pretty good ;)

Your right, so your statement is 'false until proven true' :) :p :fluffle:

I have been reading this funny topic for about 15 minutes of my valuable time and im wondering....did you ask him out yet, Tink?
If you didn't...plz do..dont be stupid like me and wait for the right moment,
the right moment is the present...Stop dreaming bout being with him,
ask him out you'll be suprised how nice it will be!
And if you keep telling yourself your shy, your love-life wont be any good becoz of it. I know from own experience...being shy isnt gonna make you happy..
it sux :gundge:
And also like some other people said..Just be genuinely interested in him.

BTW i would never label anyone geek, nerd or loser..

:eek:Yes, Ganymede is the third moon of Jupiter. Many zillions of years ago (NB. 1 zillion = 1 followed by 823 zeros), our people lived on Jupiter itself, but then like humans they destroyed it with a nuclear war and had to move to the various moons. Callisto became the capital; however, I broke precedent by living on Ganymede instead, to avoid the high taxes.

That says a lot about how much people here like you and wish to help you. I'd love to have people react to my personality so positively.

You may bring anyone you like, with the possible exceptions of humans, which cannot really survive in Ganymede's atmosphere. It's rather a pity...some of my best friends are human... ;)

I haven't read this thread so I don't know if someone's already offered you this advice (cf. my earlier posts; "you" refers to Tink) but how you look doesn't really matter that much.

Start a debate over who is better - Captain Picard or Captain Kirk. Thats sure to get him/her interested.

Don't be an ass. As an ex-geek I can safely say that picard is better, also I can say that if you ask them your chances of getting one of us improve greatly, getting naked or scantily clad will not help your chances, since we're usually easily distracted by hot women(hot women to be read as any woman who got naked in front of us) naked is bad, just be yourself is pretty much my best advice on this one, and avoid trek, you'll not like the results.

anyways, i myself would be considered a geek. i think. as in, id much rather play games than go outside. pfft, who wants to do that, eh? but then when i am out, its all nice and groovy anyways.

well, onward to the situation. now, from what ive read, im inclined to believe TInk is a rather nice individual. not exactly sure as to why YOU of all people would be afraid to ask someone out...isnt that OUR job? =P

i WOULD make a deal that i would ask teh person i 'fancy' out if you asked Bill out, but then if you do, i would be forced to too, eh? and noone would want that >.<

oh, and PS to Sino. im chinese too. communism is obviously the best economical system, just isnt employed properly.

cause i'm ugly and he doesn't fancy me
Um. If by "ugly" you mean, "could probably make a poster that teen-aged boys around the world would pay money for, but I don't have 15 minutes for make up, or professional lighting." In the vernacular of my people, you are what is commonly referred to as a "Stone Fox."

Rent Swingers (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0117802/), go over to his house when it's just him. When Trent and Sue are going off about how Mike is so money, how he's a big bear, and can't figure out how to kill the bunny with his claws and fangs, hook your arm around his pull yourself tight next to him, put your head on his chest while looking him in the eyes. If he doesn't respond to that, he like dudes.

You should seriously consider getting a copy of The Art of War. It's not so much about war per se as it is about understanding yourself, your surroundings, your opponent and extorting people to successful action. Ariddia's right, choose the deadly ground where he's got no choice but to commit to a decision.

Also you seem to think whether or not you two get together will be a rational decision for him. That's not necessarily how men make such choices. It's how we'd like to. We are very much at the whim of our chemistry, and in a supreme twist of irony God unwisely gave the keys to women. Even aside from your obvious and considerable visual appeal (you kinda look like Rachel Weisz, but better skin), your touch, your smell, the timber of your voice, they command his focus in a way he's unable to completely resist or duplicate. He's probably been long suffering in your shadow possessed of thoughts on what might be when or if he were a better man. If you can assuage some of his fear, or just use his chemistry, it's over.

His fears are almost certainly something like the following: He's beneath consideration for the foreseeable future. He might make an irrecoverable mistake that will destroy everything meaningful. Even if he does everything right he's not important enough to check your wrecklessness and he'll lose everything meaningful anyway. He's definately making a mistake, one he'll regret more than you in all likelyhood. But you're making some too. When he said he didn't want to go to the debate because it was boring, that was something of a test. He was checking whether he was on the friend list. If you had instead found a solution more inline with his interests, he wouldn't have gotten such a clear message he was on the friend list. I'm willing to be he's got quite a bit of evidence pointing to the friend list, intentional and otherwise. For a guy, who's careful by nature, and believes they can't afford to make a mistake, ignoring all that data is quite the leap of faith.

Good day Tink,

I'd agree with both. For years I had this paradigm, this image of perfection that I held to like bible writ. She had to be like this or like that. Well I met this girl, Amy, who was everything I wanted. But guess what? She wasn't the one. At the time you could never have made me believe it and when we broke up it took some 4 years to get over but I believe now that it was all for the best. Amy helped me crystalize what I wanted or didn't want in a partner and she essentially pointed the way to the girl who's my current girlfriend and (hopefully) lifetime partner. Something I never in my wildest dreams expected but much much more. Don't give up - first of all on yourself, despite the blue hair and your somewhat negative self-image (please Tink, you ARE beautiful and wonderful, so many here would give their right arm to be yours) don't ever forget you are wonderful and special, special enough for that special someone and if a guy doesn't like you, IT'S THEIR LOSS. And don't give up on him - yet - you're great friends but you've not made a move...

However, (please see my previous post on human scent and behavior) it may be that for some reason you're not gelling as well as you should and you're better off as friends. If that's the case, I hope you can also find the serenity to accept it with grace and self-respect. I'm not saying that it is but perhaps that's what you mean when you say you know it won't come off well. I'm not you and I don't know the whole story. It may be cold feet on your part too, like we've been trying to say all along. Whichever it is, don't forget that you must never surrender your self-respect and grace. You have to be able to say, "I am on a journey and I'd like you to come along with me for the ride... I'd love it if you would... but if not, I won't self destruct. I will go on."

Best regards,

TInk,

After slogging through all 74 pages of this thread, all i have to say is i wish so many people had encouraged me to ask sooner than I had. I spend 6 months with this girl i liked last year, working up the courage to ask her out. And you know what? She went out with me, but simply wanted to remain friends. These events have actually brought us closter in friendship. She now knows i care for her, and I the same, and while the chemestry was not exactly right between us, we can still remain faithful friends.

One suggestion that i have seen mentioned several times, and is actually the one I used is write a letter or email. If you can't bring yourself to confront him in person, by phone or IM, then an informal note or email is the best way to go. It lets you pour out your thoughts, without worrying about breaking down, or freezing up. Anyway, my final words are like so many who have said it before me, ask him, because every minuite is special, and you can only live this life once. Why not make the best of it?

Kudos,

NS

Hey congratulations! See, don't put yourself down too much. You found a job and now you have a steady income. What's to stop you from going on and opening up to him?

I was out of the job when I finished college for the longest time and yeah it was really embarrassing and difficult so I'm really glad to hear you found a job. I'm a film maker by training but an ESL teacher by (current) vocation.

Here's what I hope happens. Perhaps it's not the right time yet for you and Bill or for you to tell him that you got the hots for him. Like I said previously, timing is everything (just after Star Wars would have been good except for the debate). But please don't keep say you're giving up, okay Tink? You've not really tried yet (as far as I know) so don't quit till you look him squarely in the eye and tell him.

;) :D

I don't know, back in High School until now, we (my buddies and I) knew we were 'geeks', well Nerds technically. We accepted it and it became a matter of pride for us because we knew we were better and smarter than the rest of 'em. We were rebels essentially, we thumbed our nose at authority that we considered idiotic and irrelevant (the guidance councellor and her ilk - the socially acceptible in-crowd which dominated school politics for all of high school) and we just didn't give a rip, we were happy with our anime and stuff (you know, boys and their various toys) and we took being shoved aside in silence till the senior year when we challenged the in-crowd and jocks for the class presidency. Well, most of us lost but our presidential candidate won and we got a good number of votes - I was set to be marshal and I beat my opponent in his own section (but I still lost). Well that was okay because we were taking Citizens Military Training at the time and we were all (almost all of us at least) cadet officers so we still ruled the batch on weekends, subjecting them to the heat of the sun, pushups, deep-knee bends and other select tortures (not without reason of course).

Then when we were in college we (well I started and the others drifted in) became Film majors and now most of us are part of the vanguard of mass media today.

So I guess it's how each one takes the 'labelling'

Your visage is one upon which I could gaze for an eternity. And your fruitful mind is one which I sorely need, after the mental/emotional desert that are so many other girls I know. Seriously. You are attractive. You are not ugly. And, having had so many experiences in which I have regretted something that I have not done, even at the age of twelve, I would say that you go for this if you do not want to be a goth that is depressed for a good twenty to thirty years.

What's the worst that could happen if you do?
What's the worst that could happen if you don't?
Now what's the best thing that could happen if you do?
What's the best thing that could happen if you don't?

I have had to muster up some courage to talk to my friend that I have not talked to in months once, because I feared a fierce verbal lashing for not calling in so long. Nothing bad happened. The worst that could happen is A: unlikely to happen and B: an awkward moment and some embarassment, assuming you play your cards right. Courage is the will to do what scares you. I would be scared as hell to do this. But I think that if I were you, I would say "screw it" and go do it.

And hello. Also, for the other people, how is it possible to know if a girl is flirting with you or just toying with you? It seems an odd question, considering I have read this entire thread, but she and her friends told me that she wants to go out with me. I don't really want to, but I do want to at least know her intentions, whether they be malicious or sincere. Should I always assume good faith? I'm slightly a geek in the computing area, but many of the things they said sounded sincere. My friends tell me they are trying to make me look like a fool.

In my experience the shy nerdish way is to admire from a distance, winging and wining about your inablitiy to get that attractive female sitting across the room. Then, in accordance with the classic "loser gets girl" movie plot, the nerd goes to the prom (or here in Oz the Formal) without a date and the girl appears out of nowhere and asks you to dance.

Ay, <strikethrough>that's</strikethrough> there's the rub...There was a girl in sixth grade which I kinda liked, but I never told her...eventually, her bastard friend found out and told her. But until then I had just admired her from afar and not done anything about it. I wasn't at all for dating. But if I had told her earlier, there would have been, at least, less embarassment in the long term. The moral: If you're a geek that likes a girl, but you are interested in dating or whatnot, than don't tell anyone that can not be trusted.

This really does not have to do with anything.

Yes, I rather suspected that it was "there."

And in retrospect, it doesn't seem very big a deal, the thing in sixth grade. Especially since I moved since then. But it was kind of hard having to reflect on how I had been reasonably friendly with her before the whole thing blew up in my face. And are replies usually this fast on this thread, which has had over 1.1 thousand messages in the past couple of days?

And what about my other question?

I carried the torch for this really cute Chinese girl in elementary, writing her stupid sappy poems, giving her gifts every Christmas party but NEVER TALKING TO HER or even getting to know her. She got fed up finally and told me that I was "spineless". Admiration from a distance, the nerd's way to go and the sure-fire way to tick off a woman (apparently).

Apparently? No, no, no... certainly. Even after you tell the girl/woman you're fond of them, after all that waiting and hearing about their other boyfriends, etc. -- which, strangely enough, isn't that enticing, especially if the person to whom you are speaking has low self-esteem in relationships to begin with -- you might as well have told a brick wall.

Start a debate over who is better - Captain Picard or Captain Kirk. Thats sure to get him/her interested.
or start a debate over star wars versus syar trek, that works wonders too. It also helps if you know plenty of geekly facts yourself to back up any argument/debates you migth encounter. Also, a good idea is to be well versed in at lest the most mainstream of roleplaying and collectible card games, D&D, magic: the gathering, rifts, gurps, warhammer, etc. Best of all, just figure out what their strongest geekly interest is, learn it well, and participate repeatedly. If they role play, learn what games and play them, if their into science or math, get good at it and work with them, if the read, learn their favourite autors by heart, if they watch movies, watch their favourites and learn quotes then invite them to watch with them or something similar with you. Also, you could try asking them to help you learn about their interests. They're usually more than willing to teach and participate and it really helps to break the ice.

This is most likely to work, speaking as a geek, I really like it when a girl starts talking to me about maths, science, religion, etc, especially when they have a different opinion to me. I find that the girls I like most are the ones that I conflict with so if the guy likes captain kirk, tell him captain picard is better and back up your argument.

Good day Tink,

I'd agree with both. For years I had this paradigm, this image of perfection that I held to like bible writ. She had to be like this or like that. Well I met this girl, Amy, who was everything I wanted. But guess what? She wasn't the one. At the time you could never have made me believe it and when we broke up it took some 4 years to get over but I believe now that it was all for the best. Amy helped me crystalize what I wanted or didn't want in a partner and she essentially pointed the way to the girl who's my current girlfriend and (hopefully) lifetime partner. Something I never in my wildest dreams expected but much much more. Don't give up - first of all on yourself, despite the blue hair and your somewhat negative self-image (please Tink, you ARE beautiful and wonderful, so many here would give their right arm to be yours) don't ever forget you are wonderful and special, special enough for that special someone and if a guy doesn't like you, IT'S THEIR LOSS. And don't give up on him - yet - you're great friends but you've not made a move...

However, (please see my previous post on human scent and behavior) it may be that for some reason you're not gelling as well as you should and you're better off as friends. If that's the case, I hope you can also find the serenity to accept it with grace and self-respect. I'm not saying that it is but perhaps that's what you mean when you say you know it won't come off well. I'm not you and I don't know the whole story. It may be cold feet on your part too, like we've been trying to say all along. Whichever it is, don't forget that you must never surrender your self-respect and grace. You have to be able to say, "I am on a journey and I'd like you to come along with me for the ride... I'd love it if you would... but if not, I won't self destruct. I will go on."

Best regards,
Cathenia


Good advise man, I love your posts they definetely contain some didactic elements. I like your attitude, the only trouble with being so evolved is that its lonely at the top...or so i have been told. This belief might actually harm me, Anyway keep up the good work man. How did you get so smart btw, partly through experience and partly through assimilation of books?
I also read your other stuff, i especially liked your high school story...
As im typing this i get a feeling of deja vu..its almost like i typed this before but i didnt lol...
What i wanted to say was...i admire your way of living but you must acknowledge that there are just some things in this world that you have no knowledge of...i mean sometimes life just gives you bad cards...the main thing is to let go of your bad associations to any bad experiences...you see life is never the same, its always changing...if you can adjust your mindset to this principle you will live with more passion and a greater sense of peace.
Since you will then ultimately decide that everything in life is relative and that nothing lasts for ever...not even love. So the moment you feel love..it is IMPERATIVE THAT YOU SHOW YOUR TRUE COLOURS. If you dont you'll probably hurt yourself and the one you dig. Mainly coz they will deem themself not worthy enough.
Also i want to say that i dont believe in labels..geeks, skaters, nerds what does it matter, people think of labels becoz they are scared. They are scared of other people. If they label someone they feel safer...i mean who is afraid of what you can see, touch, smell and taste?
Insecurity caused by anonimity is the main reason for labels.
Now think about that for a second.
BTW if you read this whole post you are on your way to enlightenment! LOL
Peace and Love..

I have a slightly different question. Not that you'll answer it, for I am a lowly newbie compared to the greatness and overall niceness of Tink. But what are you to do if you are somewhat of a geek and a girl who is quite popular wants to go out with you, but you do not? We had a "lively" discussion on the school bus, and I tried to make it clear to everyone that was asking me about the issue (whom then told her) that I thought that she was great, but I did not want to get involved in a romantic relationship. Is that enough, or is there something else I still have to do to make sure that nobody gets hurt?

Good advise man, I love your posts they definetely contain some didactic elements. I like your attitude, the only trouble with being so evolved is that its lonely at the top...or so i have been told. This belief might actually harm me, Anyway keep up the good work man. How did you get so smart btw, partly through experience and partly through assimilation of books?
I also read your other stuff, i especially liked your high school story...
As im typing this i get a feeling of deja vu..its almost like i typed this before but i didnt lol...
;)

Hi there,

Yeah experience and books - 27 years as a card carrying nerd hehe. My girlfriend thinks I'm weird but she loves me anyway and that's the best part (refer to the Shaughnessy poem as to why - my guess) when you find someone who accepts you for who you are and loves your quirkyness. And she happens to look like an Filipina sexy star and has an expression like a famous Korean actress too which helps things along. (she'll kill me if she knows I said that :eek: )

Before that there were the usual male misadventures and years of flying solo (if you know what I mean) and, looking back, I'd have to agree that there were a lot of girls I could have - maybe SHOULD HAVE - courted in High School and College but I was too scared - I mean 'they're a whole different species!' :eek:

I think a lot of geeks at least share that common nervousness. I mean we just like different things. I hated socializing which I considered shallow and beneath me. I wanted to be a knight (as in knighted by HRH Queen Elizabeth II) and there was a time I wanted so badly to be British (so I could be a knight). I was consumed by stories of Arthur and his knights (Howard Pyle version), Stevenson and Scott's great adventure stories, Waterloo, history, and it made me look at everything around me as the space between words in the future history of our times. At the same time I was physically outperformed by my more active classmates and socially outperformed by my more social climbing classmates and when I joined other like-minded 'geeks' we formed a group and exiled school society from our consciousness.

It's our way of protecting ourselves. We felt we were too smart or too good for rejection, I suppose. So we never opened up to others and I think, with hindsight, that I was poorer for it.

I have a slightly different question. Not that you'll answer it, for I am a lowly newbie compared to the greatness and overall niceness of Tink. But what are you to do if you are somewhat of a geek and a girl who is quite popular wants to go out with you, but you do not? We had a "lively" discussion on the school bus, and I tried to make it clear to everyone that was asking me about the issue (whom then told her) that I thought that she was great, but I did not want to get involved in a romantic relationship. Is that enough, or is there something else I still have to do to make sure that nobody gets hurt?
sounds like enough to me, i'm sure she'll get it and won't be too hurt

Really Tink? Can I buy a female duck from you? I've been raising three - sadly now only one - ducks at home. Raised them from tiny ducklings and they're about three (I think) years old (I'm an old forgetful 27 year old, sorry).

Did you see those book suggestions I wrote a while back? Those are really great reads! Roald Dahl's my personal favorite for fiction, though the Little Prince is on a totally different plane (pardon the pun).

Glad to hear from you again,

Awww... I had two actually. One was a black duck who looked like Daffy (sorta) - named him Jimmy Doolittle Duck, after American Colonel James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle (the character played by Alec Baldwin in Pearl Harbor) who led the Raid on Tokyo in April 1942. One of the bombers on the raid was nicknamed 'The Ruptured Duck' , so there was that connection. Unfortunately Jimmy died early last month from food poisoning - ate this rotting fruit. I was so sad because he's the one I really took care of and even kept in my room as a duckling. The surviving one's always been the strongest of the Alpha males. He's brownish white and has nice plumage but he's a noisy cranky creature. If those things had teeth they'd be velociraptors, they're so fierce!

You should not try to be "cool" or "funny", as he/she will think you are just another hunk/bbabe out for a laugh. Geeks have usually (but not always) been bulleyed at some point in their life, so they will keep away thinking you are just out to have a laugh on their behalf.
Be open an honest. Be serious. Ask for normal things first, become a friend before a "friend" if ya get my drift. Make them trust you, you must show that you do not intend to be an asshole. Do the normal stuff, ask for interest and hobbies and whatever. If you have no idea what they are talking about, say so. Dont try to be a smart ass, as this is the road to fucking up. (sorry for the bad lang.)
I dont know a lot more than that, but remember that any relationship can be difficult to get started. (especially the part where you want the other part to notice you). It's a minefield, use your head and follow your heart, thats the best you can do. The peron must in the end like you for who you are, not for what you think the person wants you to be. :fluffle:

This conversation has had way too much time to get off topic, lets set everything straight...

Geeks have little self esteem, And can be easy offened, Watch your words very carefully, and more importantly, your tone, any geek will pay too much attention to how your saying something as opposed to WHAT your saying (It comes froms years of insults, they no longer listen to the adverage person, unless the tone isn't mean and evil and such)

Don't try and talk to them about star trek, or star wars, or comic books UNLESS YOU CAN COMPETE, If you have some knowlage in those areas or the areas of your geeky friend, GO ahead, BUT if not, don't, you'll only make a fool of yourself and end up confused.

Don't go all ahead all at once, geeks by nature are romantic, even if they don't know how to be, they don't want to bang every chick in sight, I know that all I want is to find someone, get to know then, THEN spank them like a dirty monkey (hehehe)

Get interested in there hobbies...D&D geeks espessally will LOVE you for try to get to know therre hobby, for them, teaching a girl how to play is practically a date, and hell, before you know it you may accually start LIKING the game

Be nice, Geeks have been insulted for YEARS and for that reason have become socially "weird" the best way to fix this is to be nice, you'll need to watch your tone, as many geeks feel any complaments givin to them are in mockery, BEWARE:Geeks are paranoid.

All a geek wants is to find someone that likes them, someone to share there time and hobbies with, I know that if I find a girl interested In D&D, Magic the gathering, and occationally model creation, I'd marry them on the spot...Then again, I may be a tad desperate...

Just ask him if he likes you, tell him you like him, and see where it goes.
