I think I'm developing feelings for one of the used socks on my floor, is this normal?
[QUOTE=collegegrad;28414046]She broke up with me. I have been crying for the past 2 hours since she told me. I hate my life :frown:[/QUOTE]
Cry some more.
Also nice try, but dumping the hate on Convoluted didn't work for the others that have tried it either.
Is it just me or did this thread get progressively worse since it was it taken out of GD?
Yeah, because nobody new is coming in here with problems.

How would you feel about someone who frequently comes here showing up with a new problem?
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;28422310]How would you feel about someone who frequently comes here showing up with a new problem?[/QUOTE]
As long as it is a new problem and not the same old problem again and again. If you don't learn from your mistakes, don't expect people to be willing to help.
Also that wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular.

I brought it up because I remember when several new people with problems would all have the same or very similar problems. I would dig through LA for proof of this, but I'm sure you had noticed it (and LA's gone, so I can't go digging anyway).

You're 15? You've always struck me as more... 17 or 18. Then again I've talked to you one before :v:
I didn't ask the girl yet because I thought it would be impolite to interrupt people speaking with her. She keeps smiling and looking at me though even when somebody is talking to her what is this a possible indication of.

We have? When did we have a conversation? :3:
I'm sorry, I'm just very forgetful.
Will I need to worry about finding things to talk about on a first date or will conversation just flow naturally?
[QUOTE=mookman22;28425969]Will I need to worry about finding things to talk about on a first date or will conversation just flow naturally?[/QUOTE]
Usually the first date is when you are just starting to get to know one another, there are bountiful topics that you could talk about since you've pretty much got a clean slate.
[QUOTE=mookman22;28425969]Will I need to worry about finding things to talk about on a first date or will conversation just flow naturally?[/QUOTE]
The first date will feel awkward, but just go along with it. Bring up anything that comes to mind and ask things that aren't too personal. Like Psychopath said, you have a clean slate in what you can be talking about.
So, I don't know if any of you remember me, but around December I was interested in this girl named Nichole. Anyways, yesterday another girl in my econ class, whom I seldom talk to, asked me to go to the movies with her this Friday (tonight). It was last minute, and I already had a girl in mind, but I didn't decline, at first.
Today, the girl from econl messaged me on facebook and asked me when we could see it tonight. I told Nichole about it since I was talking to her as well, and she got pissed. Way pissed. I asked her what was wrong, and she said that the other girl asking me to the movies irritated her. So I apologized, and offered to take her to the movies to make it up. She accepted, and I declined to go to the movies with econ girl, telling her I was too busy.
I think I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend tomorrow, after the movies. Shes more into pokemon then I am, and I have a pokeball loaded with a spring that pops out confetti when opened, so I think I'll use that and write a note on the inside to be my girlfriend when she opens it up. Good idea? Or just way too nerdy?
Also, I need suggestions on how to break it to the other girl that I won't be able to go to the movies with her, preferably without being a dickhead about it.

Regardless of how much she likes Pokemon that is going to come off as super awkward and geeky. Also don't ask her to be your girlfriend after one date, see how you go with a couple of dates first at least. As for the other girl, there's no reason you can't see her once as well, see if you like her.

I say go for the Pokeball idea. It'll be funny and probably cute to her. If it somehow backfires, then at least you have a funny story to tell to your friends later. Also, tell the other girl that your seeing someone else, and it was inappropriate of you to accept her invitation to the movies.

I saw asperger at first.
For some reason, I just don't know how to ask her out.
I mean, I can say the words, but I don't know what to do. On a date I mean.
I'm pathetic.

Take the dive, it always seems harder thinking about it than when you actually do. Just find an appropriate time and say it casually. As long as you don't piss yourself or accidentally scream it in her face I'm sure you'll be fine.

Maybe. Oh god I don't know I'm so tense/nervous
I think I might be dropping hints a lot with her, I dunno, I complement her on whatever I can really, maybe I'm coming off to strong, I don't know oh god so nervous

Yeah, that would be simple if she decides she wants to be my girlfriend, if not oh well, I'm sure I could bullshit something.

Yeah, the more I think about the pokeball idea, the more I agree with you. I think I'll just try to see if I can get my arm around her at the movie or something, and if she lets me I'll ask her out. We've already been on "dates", with just the two of us as good friends, and multiple parties.

I agree with how to handle the situation of the econ girl. I think I'll tell her about my pokeball idea after I ask her out.

The more you think about it, the harder it gets.
The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
Sure, it might be difficult now, but just fucking do it. It's not going to get any easier. It's not about not being nervous, it's about having the balls to fight through it. So what if you stutter and shit when you ask her out? If she says no, just take it as a learning experience.
Christ, kids get so worked up over the most trivial shit. You're asking her out, not asking her to marry you.
Also, please god stop showering her in compliments. Compliments are like money, they lose value when they're fucking everywhere. Keep them few and far between and they will hold a lot more value.

Make sure you don't use the word "girlfriend" when asking her out, it sounds childish.
How long do you generally wait after a first date to call again? My previous two girlfriends I met through school so no calling was really necessary.
In my opinion, 3 - 5 days. Use your judgement based on how the first date went though.
[QUOTE=Nibwoddle;28359308]Fucking fuck. Fuck. Okay so here in Australia we have the Year 12 Ball, which is basically a less-romantically-oriented Prom (as far as I'm aware). That said, asking people to "go" with you to the ball isn't uncommon, though people also organise things such as limos etc. with large groups of friends. So I like this girl. I've posted in LA about it a few times before but never went anywhere with it. Well I saw the ball as a good oppurtunity to ask her (a few pages back I was told explicitly to do so) and today I finally went over the edge and just did it. Her response was basically
"Um, I think I'm just going with friends and stuff, you know," (it should be noted that she's really not the type to do love-related stuff for the sake of doing love-related stuff, if you know what I mean)
At this point I was so overwhelmed by the fact that I had actually done it that I sort of went "Fair enough, that's okay" and awkwardly backed off into the crowd of people. Looking back upon it I really could have handled the situation better.
My question is this: Have I completely fucked up my chances of ever being with this girl, and if not, how would I remedy the situation?[/QUOTE]
Retoast, and now I've thought about it, my only concern is: Is it a bad idea to ask her out [B]normally [/B]now that I've done this?
Would it be acceptable to ask someone on a date via MSN? Or, as I would presume, be a pretty stupid thing to do?
* And no, it's not because I'm scared of even being in the same room as her - right now, it's my only method of contact.
I guess you have no choice.
