I had a dream yesterday in which beargod got locked in a shed and got in a bit of a state about it. I would have helped but I was trying to stop both a building from falling down and a friend from travelling back in time to kill herself with a saucepan so she could frame a dinner lady.

good dream ap, does that mean you are planning on locking me in a solitude place?

You were wearing school uniform for some odd reason. IT WAS AFTER SCHOOL!!!
Posted by beargod, 09:27, 8th August 2003:
 
Yeah, I did that alot, I could never be bothered to get changed after school.

You have a sick fantasy there AP

Does she know you exist??

I brought a flower to this hot girl's workplace the other day but it wilted in the sun.

A similar thing happened to me, I sent flowers to a birds workplace once hoping they would get there on her birthday. They turned up three days later, completely dead.
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 15:24, 8th August 2003:
 
Well, it was my own fault, really.. I walked there, and having no free hands (one for fag, other for CD disk player .. should have taken my bag, really) I had to carry it in my hair.

And it wilted. Alas.

hi i am a girl and maybe you shounld just go for it they have some good ideas but does she know you like her?
Posted by friday, 11:43, 13th August 2003:
 
Are you serious? JUST ASK, she can only say no, then tell everyone that she dissed you! One learns from experience... but above all, dont give up, if she says no, it could mean that she is in a bad mood

I always think about it too much. I picture myself approaching a girl, saying something stupid in an attempt to sound different than typical guys, and then struggling to find something to talk about.

It's good to have interests, and know how to talk about them, without ending up just talking about yourself. I'm hoping to learn how to apply this wonderful wisdom to my own life.

Good call.

"Theoretical Poll".

- "Hey, baby!"
- "So, hey, do you, like, have a beautiful body, or, like, can we get it on?"
- "What's a nice girl like you doing here?"
- "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Sorry, just trying to break the ice. What's your name?"
- "Um.. hi. My name's Doctor Lucid. But you can call me Lucy. Damn."
- "So, like, have you read Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner?"
- "Did you know 'taramasalata' has the largest amount of a's, like, ever."
- "Do you like greek food?"
- "I'm homeless. Can I sleep in your bed?"
- "Good god, I'm so ill."
- "Um, hi."

Being a woman who gets asked out a lot I'd have to say just being yourself around her will get you a lot farther than being a smart ass. Simply ask her if she'd like to go out for dinner, a drink, movie, whatever. But be sincere and act confident. Women don't like it when you're not. We like it when you know what you want and are straight forward.

How well do you know her? Does she know you or do you just see her on the bus or something? Can't give advice without more data.

A mate of mine is going speed-dating soon. He's planning on using the ice-breaker:

"Me too!!!"

Stalk her!

"hey baby, hur hur hur hur, i'm like, a pleasure machine, hur hur hur hur hur."
"yeah, i wanna screw you. ha ha ha."

"Docter Luv"?

Don't like the sound of that. There's only one Docter around here.
Posted by singleman113, 16:23, 6th December 2003:
 
stalk her? no i dont thnk she would like that
Posted by Mr.Nishi, 17:42, 6th December 2003:
 
Don't burn her every single album (including rare live recordings) of a band that she happened to mention once that she liked, it comes over a little strong. Otherwise, you can use these quality lines.....

"Alright [insert name of girl and smile gently at her], I was wondering if you would like to come out for a [drink/some food/suitable activity] on [date 2 days away]?"

"Hey gorgeous fancy crusing with me and my ride over to the bad part of town and have us a good time?"

Simple is the best way, chat up lines are usually only good in specific situations and it seems that you aren't the sort of person that wishes to woo a girl with a simple wittisism that developes into conversation and a few drinks, then possibly going to see a film and some food afterwards. Maybe a few months or so down the road, both of you laughing about the cheesy line you used to pick her up with while enjoying a short break in Prague that the pair of you booked.

Hey that sounds really good..... damn it maybe a cheesy line is the way to go
Posted by Tesseko, 01:09, 7th December 2003:
 
Don't stalk the girl. One of my friends has this guy that did that. He actually carved her name into his arm... she hates him. The he started stalking me. And now he hates me. For asking a girl out you could always just try to be friends with her first. It has worked better for me... er becoming friends withthe guy I liked...
Posted by jeffld, 02:01, 7th December 2003:
 
Here is another cheesy one.

If you are in a bar drink only soft drinks and then when you meet a nice girl just tell her you have had too much to drink and need a ride home. It worked on two occasions for me.

It's kinda like the lottery. You cannot win if you don't play.
Posted by singleman113, 04:17, 7th December 2003:
 
thanks tesseko... il try that.

omg i'd never give a random drunk guy a ride home! that's like asking "Do you mind if you drive me home because I'm gonna rape you on the way"
Posted by cal, 13:56, 7th December 2003:
 
only give lifts to weedy looking men then. i don't really like your assumption that all men can overpower all women :/
Posted by Mr.Nishi, 13:58, 7th December 2003:
 
Or even want to overpower them...
Posted by cal, 14:06, 7th December 2003:
 
i don't think she was making that assumption (though that one is far more offensive) but rather that she didn't want to take the chance. although statistically, it's a pretty small chance isn't it? aren't you more likely to crash and be maimed anyway?
Posted by Doctor Lucid, 17:35, 7th December 2003:
 
Although I tend to disagree with many of the things that young Redmaiden says quite a lot of the time, I have to agree, there's no way any sane girl on her own would drive some random drunk guy home. It's not really a question of ability to overpower you, either way, if I was some girl in a car, I wouldn't like to be constantly thinking "Will I be able to overpower him if he makes a move?".
Posted by Redmaiden, 18:14, 7th December 2003:
 
I'm certainly not suggesting all men can overpower women

You'd be an absolute fool to get in a car with an unknown man. I wouldn't get in an unlicensed taxi drivers car.

Mind you alot of women get raped by men they know.
Posted by Sul, 19:44, 7th December 2003:
 
I know alot of women and havent raped any of them - FACT

Does this mean I'm a good person? Although I am one of those weedy blokes who couldnt overpower a stag beetle let alone any of the fat lasses I know.
Posted by #1MJfan, 02:34, 9th December 2003:
 
well im a gurl too, why dont you just get to know her. be friends with her first see how it goes if you still like her then ask her out (but! give her sum space) you dont wanna be up on her 24/7 you know cuz then she mite lose intrest, ok.
Posted by Brock, 09:43, 9th December 2003:
 
No point coming on this thread and being all normal.

We already think you're a bit of a psycho nutter from the MJ thread.

Think of any question that you could ask her, anything at all. After she respondes just start talking to her about how you feel the days been or ask her, her name. Once you've passed this stage the rest will be easy. I love it when lads approach me with a smile and show interest in what I have to say
