My Turn....

I'll keep it short.


Met a girl back in Feb or March. Past month or two, I've been going crazy over her. She's in an accounting class with me, and we sit next to each other along with one other person we both know so we've been able to talk here and there and occasionally bump into each other at school. I'm think I'm ready to ask her out on a date, but now that I've gotten to this point myself, I feel like I have no clue what to do or how to go about this.

I've only been in one meaningful relationship before, and with that particular girl we both knew each other really well before we ever started dating. With this girl, we know each other (I actually met her because she joined an org I was already in)....we've been to a few parties together (not as a 'couple'; we were just both there) and a couple other random outings with groups...but other than that I don't know her super well so this is kind of new to me.

We're both going to be at a party this coming Tuesday night, and I thought that might be a good time to bring it up ask her out on a 'date'. I don't feel like I need to tell her right away what I have in mind or what ideas I have if she's interested in hanging out, but I'm still kind of at a loss of what maybe to do.

Since I don't know her as well, I don't want to do something cliche like a movie. Something where we could talk and get to know each other a little better. Would something like bowling be too cheesy? Or going to an amusement park like Six Flags? (SF Over Texas is about 5 min from me). I dunno. Just need some ideas.

Thanks.

I was going to say, I could make a bet with her that if I beat her at Twister she'd let me take her out, but that probably wouldn't work in my favor.

Oh yea.
Realized I didn't mention that.

The host (the other chick that we sit with in accounting) of the party Tuesday night...when she invited the girl I'm into through text, she was all excited and said she was going to bring Twister. Mind you this party is going to have booze, so I didn't know whether to think or .

I guess long was the wrong word. If you go somewhere a 10-15 minute drive away, things can still be a teensy bit awkward when you get to your destination. Spend a half hour or more, and you'll get to know each other more and be more comfortable more, so you can enjoy whatever you do more. May or may not work, but IMO is a good idea.

I think the reaction is due to the fact that she's a fairly quiet girl. Then she basically says she wants to play drunken twister.


Maybe she's one of those quiet chicks with a hidden wild side somethin fierce.

Is her friend a wild party person? If so, maybe her friend's just rubbing off on her. I wouldn't worry about it, but I would take advantage of it.

They both enjoy parties, but neither of them are the crazy 'go out and party every night' kind of girls.

And the only thing I'm going to be taking advantage of Tuesday night is the fact that we're going to be at the same place so we can talk and hopefully ask her out on a date.

I don't hit it and quit it.

And even if I did, I wouldn't with this chick. I'd like this to turn into a real relationship if I can.

Haha, I'm just messing with you, don't worry.

Don't you think it'll be a little hard to ask her out at the party? Loud music, people, beer, etc.

If you can, give her a ride home and ask her then.

damn, yall think to much. Just have fun and be your self. If your there and you think shes into you, ask her out. Right now honestly, you sound like the creepy guy who overthinks every situ. Thats not attractive to women. Just be your self, stay loose and have a good time. The more you overthink, the more your going to drive your self nuts trying to figure out what to do. Just be your self, cuz thats what will attract her.

Then just hang out with her at the party, mention that you like hanging out with her and that you guys should hang out sometime soon, maybe grab dinner or something. Doesn't have to be a big production, just ask her before she gets too drunk to remember the conversation

Alright...it kind of fell through. It still happened, but wasn't what it was supposed to be. Small group =/= good atmosphere for that. We did hang and talk though. Maybe I can take advantage of the fact that she got her wisdom teeth taken out this morning.

Tell her you have the results of next week's accounting test and to come over to study. She'll be riding your pine faster than Whiskers whacks it.

Have to agree. Read her body language to see if you're already in the friend zone, 'cause you should've asked her out already

I'm not really buying the friend zone stuff, it's not uncommon for people to start dating months after meeting and being casual friends. Don't feel obliged to ask her out by a certain time

It happens.
Granted, the only meaningful relationship I've had, I had actually known the chick for 'a while' (about a year) before we ever started dating. But TBO, I wouldn't consider that the norm.

I'm gonna be jumpin on it here real soon before I get the stiff arm.

Sure it happens, but if you leave a girl waiting and waiting for you to ask her out it's only a (short) matter of time before:

A. She gets bored of you
B. Some other guy comes along and does it


So why wait? She either doesn't like you at all, likes you as a friend, or wants to be more than friends. And by reading the signs she's putting off, you'll be able to tell which it is.

I think so. At least the next time I see her when she's 100%.


Next time I see her, she still may have cotton swabs stuffed in the back of her mouth.

On that note, why in the world would anyone want to date, it sucks a lot.

Enjoy being single in school and fuck as many bitches as possible, enjoy the party the booze and the women

Go visit her while she is ill. Take her a milkshake. This will give her the idea that she is special to you.
