That's what I'm worried about. But i'm gonna play it safe and keep on with it and see what's up. I'm almost convinced she's genuine, because she can go into great detail about her life. But I'm still not convinced.
Maybe if this does play out into a scam, I could perhaps turn it around back at this person. We will see.
[QUOTE=Disseminate;37640538]Well it typically doesn't work like "Hey, I'm Repulsion. Give me your cellular phoneullar number."
It's more "Well, I've got to get to my next class - hey, it might be a good idea to get your number, here's my phone" which you conveniently have opened on the add new contact page (which is great if you forgot their name).[/QUOTE]
Does it really work like this?
I'm trying to ask a girl out I don't really know too much. She's in one of my classes but I feel like such a creeper just going up and asking to go out to lunch or something.

I feel like people don't understand the whole "a date is getting to know the person" idea and most advice in the OP just wont work
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;37652913]I don't know if this is the place to ask but does anyone have a VK account? Out of pure boredom I made one about a month ago, and a girl from a town in the middle-of-nowhere Russia sent me a message asking to be friends, and that she wants help learning English.
Does anyone else have an experience like this? I'm kind of tripping out, because the circumstances are just odd.[/QUOTE]
brb making VK account so I can meet hot russian girls over a medium I'm comfortable with and never have to be social in university

I remember seeing a blog where someone got a Russian bride scam email and the girl went into detail about her life and shit. But it became pretty obvious that it was a scam once she started asking for money to get a passport so she could come visit him. If that's the case, you ask if you can visit them in Russia instead and if they agree to that they're most likely not a scam.
I've researched this shit because I know one day I'm going to probably have to resort to meeting random foreign girls online.
so this girl says she likes me but acts super distant whenever i talk to her
do i smell bad or something? i'm trying to move things into a spot where i feel like i could ask her out and it's not happening at all

what do you mean when you say "move things into a spot"?
[QUOTE=thisispain;37656523]what do you mean when you say "move things into a spot"?[/QUOTE]
just like, getting something going again man
we've known eachother for a while, so it's not like one of those getting-to-know-eachother type things. there used to be stuff going on between us, but we were both preoccupied with our own significant others. i wanna get that stuff between us rolling again so a date between us won't suck.
isn't asking her out a way to get something going again?
i'm just wondering why you're so cautious.

i dunno why i'm so cautious lol. i guess i'm afraid of fucking up
i think i'm gonna message her about this actually. face to face is better but i don't wanna be annoying.
thanks man~
no big deal if you fuck up, anyone nice has at least a moderate tolerance for fuck ups

No really though it was out of no where, and she's looks pretty too. Maybe it could work out for you bro. But she said she has a boyfriend of 3 years now, and she got kind of uncomfortable talking about it. So maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid. Here's to an interesting, online international friendship I guess.

You don't want to be annoying? Have you any sense of self-worth? You're not offering russian 50 year old candy on a backalley.......

How is asking a phone number creepy? Asking if she has beef jerky is creepy. If you stop talking in feelings for a seconds, maybe you could understand your problem with this situation better.....

Today after the third module I decided was simply too hungry to ignore it during the last module, so I went to take the bus a few hundreds meters down the street in front of the school, to a 7-11. It was raining, but the sky had been clear in the morning, so I wore a pair of shorts and only a t-shirt. Anyhow, I noticed this girl as I walked past her, and her umbrella just turns inside out due to the wind - I crack a smile of it and she laughes a bit. Some 15 seconds later I initiate the communication software, and for the 30 second bus ride, we got to know eachother a bit. She's in the year above me (final year in Gymnasium) and while we didn't get to know a whole fucking lot about eachother, she seemed pretty nice. Well, we split at the station - we had known eachother for about a full minute at this point - as I had to get some food from 7-11 and she had to take the train. Per default I deal out handshakes to people I don't know very well, but in a mutual subconscious agreement we give eachother a hug, and first at this point we actually exchange names. I got my food and almost made it on time to the last module. Well, just and hour ago I found and wrote her a message on facebook, asking her - in the least socially awkward manner that I could muster - if she'd clock in at a cafe with me on Saturday. Well, the agreement is now in place, and it would appear that I suceeded as not sounding too creepy.
I don't normally do this, but I just thought "why not" - she seems very nice, and it's now like anything will be lost if it turns out awkward in the cafe. That would be a first, though - I generally get along with people a-okay, even when I don't know them. Mind you, I have absolutely no mutual friends and for all I know no interests, so I really have no idea how this will go.
Are you in a romantic comedy? Owen Wilson is probably at that cafe
And ugh spiders
[QUOTE=NuclearAnnhilation;37664672]Are you in a romantic comedy? Owen Wilson is probably at that cafe

In that case, what would I be - Ben Stiller? Anyhow, no, my life isn't a romantic comedy, and it's not like I'm the most sought out guy - I get around girls pretty well, but mostly it turns out in friendships, and not romantic interests.
[QUOTE=MindMuncher;37636033]I'm feeling a lot of emotions lately, but one keeps surfacing. Okay, it's not an emotions so much as an urge. I really feel like performing *ahem* cunnilingus *ahem* on someone. No one in particular. Which is strange. I just want to make a girl feel good and I don't particularly care if it pleasures me in any physical way to do so. Maybe I'm just wanting some sort of confirmation.
Probably.
That or one of my lady friends gets a lucky day, then we feel awkward afterwards when I try to act like nothing is different.[/QUOTE]
late as fuck but i know exactly what you mean.

Jobs for a high school graduate with hospitality experience that isn't hospitality? I need it, but I hate it. Just brainstorming to broaden my horizons a bit before next year.
[QUOTE=Aries;37672594]Jobs for a high school graduate with hospitality experience that isn't hospitality?[/QUOTE]
wait, what
I have a job currently in a cafe, I've been working full time since I graduated high school and I've got heaps of experience working in cafes, kitchens etc. I just hate doing it. I want to do something else.

If a picture of a specific cat can be showered with "Winners" in a (crap) section of FP, I don't the pixels really mean anything. But wouldn't you say that it's somewhat special circumstances? Sure, I didn't hop out of a burning plane with her in my arms after maintaining world peace, but you have to understand the social rules that are set in place - people [I]generally[/I] do not talk with the year below them, especially when the girl is the elder, and it's actually kind of looked down upon. Breaking those rules, especially in one minute of talking, is not usual - and I'm just happy that people aren't necessarily stupid enough to follow them at all times.

Reception desk work? There's always someone needing a receptionist and the skills are pretty transferable.

Not sure where your from in the world but at our school we used to play football, fight, drink etc etc with years above and below us. If thats a winner thats a winner.
Best of luck either way.

Well, at our school there's a stigma about it. My class is pretty ralaxed about it, but generally people don't mix at all.
I think I may like this girl online through a drawing website. We skype for at least 7 hours a day and text on phone all day. Met months ago. Killer is the she lives across the U.S. What the fuck do I do FP?
