So I met a girl...

SicEm's Romancin' Thread

...and I'm going to ask her out. Its been a very long time, but I'm going to go for it. We are both going to be at a BBQ next Tuesday and I'm going to make my move. Your good luck wishes and other advice will be helpful.

 

Is there beer at this BBQ?

 

Get rid of the cigar bref.

Good luck!

 

Roofies.

 

Be sure not to wear anything sharp, you might pop her and she'll fly away.

 

Not sure. I'd put it on the unlikely side though.

 

Don't send her a dozen roses after the date. That creeps 'em out.

 

I refuse to send flowers. They're cliche, tacky, and totally useless.

 

:les:Shenanigans!

 

Tell her you're rich.

 

Put the potato in the FRONT of your britches this time, youngun.

 

don't talk to her

 

Seriously, one of my single buddies who doesn't look like your typical ladies' man, but does quite well thank you, pretends it's some kind of game and that getting shot down is just part of it about 1/2 the time. He pretends it's fun to predict whether they'll go out with him or not. The psychology of this works. This way, you're not focused on the goal, but the process.

And 2 things that EVERY girl I know thinks are sexy: confidence (fake it til you make it) and humor.

 

The humor thing worries me. People tell me that all the time, but I never let loose and joke around until I get to know someone pretty well. I've tried to stop myself from doing it, but I have a habit of coming across aloof and serious.

 

OK, we can work with this. One way to be sure she thinks you have a good sense of humor is if you laugh WITH her and laugh at any jokes she makes. Just make sure she's joking.

 

A. Try not to drool or pitch a tent.
B. Try not to act desperate.
C. And for god's sakes, whatever you do, don't even breath the word Branson.

 

Ha, all great advice.

 

Don't show her your t.v setup.
