So I'm going to Vegas with a girl that I don't really know that well. We've hung out a few times, hit it off in a group setting but I'll be damned if I can keep an engaging or funny convo for 4 hours to vegas? 1 hour ok but 4, I'm kind of lost.

Ask questions, ask about her family, friends, past relationships, music, movies, who she voted for, her beliefs, her goals, her dreams, positions, funny stories.

I typically start by outlining the time I spent in prison and explain how the judicial system fucked me. After that I would bring up how my herpes have been dormant for an abnormally LONG amount of time and then I would lead that into a discussion of a new supply of roofies I just acquired.

Tell her about all the times you go for road trips with almost total strangers and it usually ends up with you, a shovel and blood soaked clothes.

Well, I'm going to assume you haven't had sex with her yet, since you're taking a girl you don't know well to Vegas (bad move).

But I have to ask, what do you want from her? Is she hot? Are you two "just friends" by her admission?

I would like more background if you want some advice on how to escalate and have a fun four hour drive with a new chick...

You don't HAVE to engage her in conversation the entire time. I don't think she wants to have someone trying too hard and talking her ear off the whole trip. Just make sure whatever you're talking about is interesting at least.

Chances are if you don't know her that well, then that means you two know the same friends. Maybe talk about some funny stories that happened amongst each other, that way she can relate to you easier.

Be yourself.
Don't talk about yourself unless asked-- get HER to TALK about herself!!!
I Go To Costco has the right idea.
Besides, if you hit it off for the first couple of hours, the two of you might be giving road head to each other for the next two.

I think that before we look at strategy here we need to discover how socially awkward "piggydog" is.

PS, are you asian? An SN like "piggydog" has to be from an AzN.

Well, do you want to JUST be friends?

Guys, if you need advice on how to move forward with a girl you have to know what you want first.

Werd. Don't talk about yourself. Christ, for 4 hours maybe extended moments of comfortable silence may be the best route. I couldn't talk for that amount of time even if someone had a gun to my head.

Hopefully she likes the same music you do, that will definitely make the trip more tolerable.

actually piggydog is a term from surfing it's actually pigdog. Don't ask me why it just is. Socially awkward, I wouldn't say so, definitely not a ladies man but peeps, guys and girls who hang out with me usually have fun. Yeah I'm asian. It's a shocker but girls actually do ask me to go out and hang. I'm not much of a closer though. I'm chill with that though.

yes pigdog is common but somehow my friends kept calling me piggydog because on the big south swells even on the biggest unmakeable closeouts I'd give it a go going and never come out.

The last few girls I've hung out with were

1) I wasn't attracted to but she txt me to come over to her place constantly and was just crazy, got mad at me for hanging out with other girls eventhough we've only hung out as friends

2) 3 other girls I hung out with previously all they talked about were getting drunk, last call, sobering up enough to drive home semi drunk. Talking about bars and getting drunk is the most boring sht ever even if that's where we meet. And they don't get a clue because I'm checking my mail and facebook the whole time.

3) the only normal cute ones I hang out with are already dating someone. Meeting normal/sensible people is harder than it seems.

If she's like most girls, you'll be praying for silence after about 30 minutes.


The best thing to do is ask questions about her. Ask her where she has or would like to travel to. Talk about favorite movies. Ask if she prefers doggie or cowgirl.

But don't feel like you have to talk the entire time. It's okay to turn up the radio for a while. She might even nap during part of the trip.

Werd. Just have some prepped questions such as

1. Did you like Dear John or the Notebook better?

2. Are you a fan of Jacob or Edward?

3. Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift or Kesha? Explain your reasoning.

4. Who do you think is going to make it to the finals on Idol this season?

5. Do you really think pink is the new black?

Then just pretend like you're paying attention while you turn the radio volume up

What are you looking for in a woman? I ask that because it doesn't sound like you know what you want, and thus are incapable of formulating any sort of direction.

1) I wasn't attracted to but she txt me to come over to her place constantly and was just crazy, got mad at me for hanging out with other girls eventhough we've only hung out as friends

OK fine it may be boring, but does the thought of their vaginas makes you feel "icky"?

3) the only normal cute ones I hang out with are already dating someone. Meeting normal/sensible people is harder than it seems.
When you're doing all this "hanging out" do you ever escalate sexually?

Honestly, you sound like a virgin.

sex is not a foremost goal with me, shocking, but I'm just not really that type of guy. Subconsciously it probably is if you find the girl attractive. I've only been with 2 girls, not really interested in banging lots of girls.

Contrary to my posts I do ok with the opposite sex. I'm not a douchebag, I'm honest, have morals, have a decent job, and can be really funny. Last few times out girls have actually asked for my number, if I don't find them funny, sensible, easy going I just don't bother getting in contact even if there is a possibility to get laid. I prefer having a chill friend first. But mostly this is my fault for asking about girls on a car forum. Lots of good car advice here but otherwise it leaves much to be desired.

You know, you could just ask her ahead of time what she enjoys about a road trip. Does she like to listen to music, talk, chill in silence, hit some stops along the way? I don't think it would be lame to just ask. She's got to be thinking the same thing you are. Rather than spend the entire time guessing at what the she would or would not enjoy, find out before you start so you can be prepared and have a trip you'd both enjoy.

I personally don't think you need this big elaborate plan and a prepared list of questions. Just find out what she'd enjoy, and meet her there.

So you are both friends for now... I'm assuming you like her more than as a friend? Or, are you not interested at her at all?

Regardless, you don't have to talk with each other all the time. You can even say, "Hey, it's a long drive. Don't feel obligated to stay awake. Take a nap if you want..."

Good advice, well laid plans always fail and women always can tell when something is rehearsed. Be yourself, be interesting but don't dominate the conversation. Get her talking about her but don't interrogate her. Don't talk about your ex, don't talk about yourself much at all, current events are great, simple jokes are fun, simple games that are safe for driving can be fun and good ice breakers. Be positive, be mysterious, answer questions with questions, if pinned down about a particular subject be decisive and simple in your answer.

She'll probably nap for 3 hours so you really only need to worry about the 1 hour.

Damn I missed this thread.. I just came back from Vegas.. It's pretty ridiculous to be concerned about what to talk about, you're obviously concerned about fucking up the sex vibe. Put on some good music, chill out & drive. If you ever ask her "are you okay?" you fucked it up.. relax & give her space, but don't forget the trojans. If you two don't hit it off, don't worry about it, there are tons of inebriated chicks in Vegas who are looking to hook up.
