Don't know if you remember this story... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I liked this girl a while ago and all. I'd like to go through it and all but, well, stuff didn't go too well. I'm getting over it, the story is old, etc. You know how it is. The short version is: girl likes boy, boy likes girl, boy asks girl out, things get in the way, the fire slowly burns out, girl falls farther away. Repeat.

oh well.

I'm tired, 19, and my hope for romance and love is worn out. Not to mention I haven't had sex in about a year and a half. Maybe it's because I keep falling for the wrong girls? I'm talking about the kind of people that got kicked out of their houses at 16, have a psychologist, take medication that numbs them to their bones, or have the oddest body language this side of the universe, or just don't know how to express their feelings at all yet manage to grab your attention. I've come to the conclusion that in loving people like that I can somehow feel better about myself, come to terms with something, whatever that may be.

Bah, I'm done with that. I have one day of school left and I don't intend on wasting it. I don't feel like being bored this summer and it's already starting to look bleh. Soooo, there's this girl in one of my classes, seems cool and "normal", I don't know anything about her except what I can assume from her style and all. She doesn't know much about me. We exchanged a couple of words today, nothing fancy. She's cute and something tells me she might be single, but that doesn't matter to me, I'll risk it. Last day of school, probably the last time I'll see her anyway.

So if you just want to ask a stranger out, what's the best way to do it? actually, not "ask out" just to get to know them. I'm not too good at the approach thing. One of my girl friends told me I should use some bullshit like "hey you seem familiar" and start off with that, but it seems awkward. Any suggestions? Have any of you come up to someone that's rarely ever noticed you or even at all and engaged in conversation somehow? I wish humans felt more affinity toward eachother..perhaps someday, when we reach beyond this planet we might feel a bit scarce as a species and become more sympathetic? Then stuff like this'd be much easier to pull off.

Man, I've always been the type that can just go up and say "Hi, what's your name?" It works dude, unless she's a total bitch, she's not going to tell you to fuck off. She'll at least be nice about rejecting you. Its nothing to be afraid of.

But I tell you, a wingman is a BIG help, IMO. I always like to go "bootyhunting" with a good friend. It makes approaching women so much easier.

Hope I could help at least a little bit.

I felt so silly just reading the first sentence of your post..because I asked myself afterwards "umm, yeah, I mean, why not come up to her and ask her name?". Sometimes we become so enslaved to the details that we fail to realize the potential of simplicity.

I'll take your wingman advice into consideration.
