So the story:

I met this girl in Wednesday night at a student night. She is a friend of a friend and we got on. I've spoken to her on favebook a couple of times and I've fallen for her big time. I'm usually a socially confident guy (wearing a skirt and blouse at a club for example!) and I usually help friends in situations like this. But now I can't manage to ask her out and it's eating me up on the inside. I can't stop thinking about her!

Anywho offer some advice or share your love stories with us common folk of NSG. Let us bask in it!

The only answer is of course to sum up your courage and ask her out. ;)

Take hundreds of photos as she is heading to and from work. Go through her garbage to find out what she likes. Try to study her carefully at night through her kitchen window.

Who needs to take photos when Facebook has them all organised in albums!

I have no stories to share. The above seems more like phermonal stimulation than love.



LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.

Youngsters falling in love...tornadoes ripping through trailer parks....flash floods sweeping houses away...ahh spring. ;)

We don't have Tornadoes, we abolished them in 1994... And I'm far away from the sea, the major rivers and I live above sea level, so I'm safe from floods :)

So, spring :D

Spring?! I've been getting pummeled by snowstorm after snowstorm for 4 days now...

That's usually a great feeling. Now pretend you're not in love and ask her out for tea. :)

Oh shut up you. You're not the only one. More's coming on Tuesday. :( :mad:

It looks much like my story. After I met my wife we did talk quite regularly though the IM (kind of). We met in person three weeks later - we "accidentally" found out of an interesting exhibition it would be worth to see. And why not go together if we found it together. And so it went.

Wait...is there a favebook too??? Oh, no, damnit!

First of all, good for you. You are required under the most holy scriptures of NSG, Ch. 9, Book of Lunatic Goofballs, to keep us informed of this.

Secondly, and more importantly, I can't offer you any more advice then what you've already gotten. The only thing standing in the way is that little fear of what if. Here's what you do- you take that fear and you drop it down a 50 foot well. Then throw in some elephants. If you do actually love this girl, she's worth getting over the fear. So, basically, just ask her out. Yootopia actually had a really great idea- don't make it to formal. Just contact her- on facebook, or if you see her in real life (even though we all know real life is a lie to steal you from NSG)- and ask her to go do something casual. Have coffee. Spend some time from there. The only hurdle you have to breach is actually asking her and, trust me, its worth it.

Pluck up the courage & ask her. You'll kick yourself if you don't.

OMG, I´m in love too!:D

Tisn't love, tis too early. Could be though old chap, hence, best of luck old boy.

In any case, I'm now drunk, for further post's consideration.

Pull her hair and push her into the mud. Kicking of the shins is strictly for proffesionals.

In the end, there's really only two ways this can end: You ask her out, or you don't. You acheive nothing by the latter, so it'd be logical to go with the former.

Best of luck! ;)

Walk up to her and ask her flat out.. or do what I've done a couple a of times and just quietly hope they like you and eventually someone will get up the nerve (tough I suggest #1)

you know thats not love, right?

No, but it is attraction, which has a lot of potential to become love.

I have to agree with that. In fact, some guy in a yellow smiley-face tie told me the same thing once...

Don't be a wuss.

Might want to check out http://www.sosuave.com. Alot of the stuff doesn't make sense at first, but by golly it's all worked out well for me!

Make sure to pay attention to the part about attraction. 90% of the time I'd say that has nothing to do with looks. Good luck bucko.

PS Don't be a fool, cover your tool! Or in other words, when it starts to rain on your head, wear a raincoat!

The worst she can say is no. If she says no and doesnt want to be your friend because of it then she isnt worth it.

Strip naked, glue rose petals to your genitals and wait in her closet. When she opens it up, just tell her that you are her package of LOVE!

:D

You're not in love, you're in heat.
I think you're confusing Londim with a woman.

And a dog; you're confusing the OP with a dog. I'm pretty sure Londim is human.

And a dog; you're confusing the OP with a dog. I'm pretty sure Londim is human.

The difference is pretty small - those are primitive bits of the brain, even if the human limbic system is a bit more complex. :p

Me, I learned in gradeschool that 'love' was most likely illusory, by falling in 'love' with a different girl every week or so for several years. :p A little reading on human neuroanatomy more or less confirmed this for me many years later.

when she is on the rebound, go to her house and comfort her, there you make your move, YOU MUST ROCK HER WORLD aka much much viagra
and then, its your turn to keep the love going

I was taking care of that craving i'd mentioned to Ruffy. *shrugs*

I can't offer much advice. I'm in a similar situation right now, except I did ask the girl out. She said she wasn't comfortable getting into a relationship at the time. I'm going to take it slow, get to know her better, then try again. Like, in several months.

I don't think wearing a skirt and blouse comes under "socially confident"... ;)

But, just find out her number and text her, or alternatively add her on MSN if you can find out her email address. You don't have to "ask her out". The best thing is just to "hang out". If you approach it that way it's much less daunting (and more fun!).

The way I ended up with my man is we were good friends for a while, and we decided to do some quirky paintings for his bedroom. We bought canvases, drank some beautiful champagne, and before you know it our fingers were intwined in paint... and, well... our bodies... they were intwined too. :)

Londim, please. Look at her. You think a woman like that's sniffing around because she likes your personality? Your mother was beautiful, too. They're all beautiful, till they're snarling after your trust fund like ravening wolves. A word to the not-so-wise about your little girlfriend. Do what you need to with her and broom her fast.

Well I think I'll ask her tonight if she wants to do something this week. Nothing to formal, maybe go to a gig or something.

Good for you. Let us all know how it goes.

As to the rest of you who are going on at Londim, I must ask when you all became so bitter. Let the man be happy! Don't, as the ancients say, rain on his parade! It's not your place to tell him that he doesn't feel how he feels.

QFT. Young folk, note well them words.

Ask her out for a drink/burger/movie, whichever is appropriate to your relative ages.

:p Eh, I can relate. I was in US history, and I was stuck admiring a beautiful girl from a distance. I figured from the start she'd never be interested in me. Woe is me, ya know.

Anyway, the teacher starts putting us in little study groups. I was group with a kid called Ian and a girl called Erin.... there she is. The dream girl! I fall sort of quiet, unwilling to show what an ass I am. Slowly, I pull out paper and start writing a poem. I do that- I write. It's my life-blood.

Out of the blue, she asks what I'm writing. I comment, a poem. To my shock, she starts gushing about poems! Boom. Chatter chatter chatter, work barely done. I get up, and because I try to smooth over my shy personality with bizarre activity, I offer hugs to both Ian and Erin. Ian, of course, turns me down, but Erin accepts the hug! Only last night did I find out that, when she hugged me, she was thinking "OMG, hot guy hugging!" I've never thought myself 'hot', but she did, so...

yeah, we've been dating for 1 1/2 months. She is... my entire world... I love her. ;)

I asked and she said now wasn't really the right time....at least we're still talking...

Ah well, eh?

Leave her alone for a couple of months, then if you meet at a bar or whatever, it's "Oh hi there, how've you been, up for going clubbing or whatever?" instead of "Oh hi, it's Londim, that's been texting you for about 7 weeks in a row, how's tricks?", which is an Inferior Way of Doing Things.

God is hermaphrodite? :eek:

bound to be, i mean think about it, in the Bible it says man was made in the image of God, Man in this era meant men and women not exclusively men. Thus God is a hermaphrodite, who is hetrosexual and at the same time homosexual even though he's never made love and at the same time made love to himself who exists and also does not exist, and is therefore an existant/non-existan, all sexual types and a hermaphrodite while being seperately a man and seperately a woman who also has made love to himself and has not made love to himself, thus a black hole emerges where Logic shows all these numbers of contradictions to show a God that no longer exists.

Well probably, so short answer...yeah.

Yes. However, God is not only male and female, but also not male and female, and many other things we cannot imagine.
So, when you cancel all the contradicting things out, you find that God is...male. Which is why only men know what God wants us to do.
