Anyway anyone think its slowed how most people in the world are captivated by a show that is so unholy it makes your eyes, ears, and your private parts die? Jersey Shore. No joke, its so bad it fails
Not everyone drinks because their life is pathetic. It really can make things fun and help to get your mind off the big stuff I can have plenty of fun without it, but sometimes things are extra fun with it. Regardless, let's make this happen! Since Melissia is the picky one, where are we going?

Technically speaking, about one in every 1000 males are XYY, and one in every one thousand females are XXX, as far as sex chromosomes go, with no distinguishable physical differences.
So they could be genetically mutants but physically normal. there's some tendency towards learning disorders associated with them though.

Hey now... Oh wait. "Need". Nevermind.
Yeah, if I wanted to get drunk, I could. I don't. There's really nothing I can do drunk that I actually WANT to do that I wouldn't enjoy just as much, if not more, sober.
Mind you, I think the idea of "get drunk and wake up in a stranger's bed" to be very undesirable, but perhaps that is a weird opinion to hold I don't know.
I honestly used to feel the same way, but it really is fun to let loose and it doesn't have to be dangerous. I've never vomited from any substance use and the worst I've ever done is say a couple of embarrassing things. Not that I think someone has to to enjoy life, but it sure doesn't hurt

The first step to overcoming this addiction is to admit that you have a problem in the first place. We can't advance the recovery process any further until you admit that this nerdiness is having a serious impact on your life.

You don't need to get drunk to enjoy life with drinks.
Indeed, sometimes, the drink itself is enjoyable.
Me, I'm partial to a smooth sippin' whiskey.

I did my time in the hedonistic walk of life and found it empty and ultimately disappointing.
It's just more satisfying coming from the stance of "you'll never be good enough, someone invisible has to help you be good enough." That was the main thing that killed it for me. It's hard to maintain any sort of belief when the first step of salvation of said faith is something you completely disagree with. As I've spent time away from it, logic makes more sense than faith, even when I believed it Which is kinda the point, but I'm sure you get what I mean.

I get what you mean.
I think that at a certain point, if you want to think about it seriously, the guilt sort of goes away if you really understand the doctrine though.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
You're going to do stupid things, and that's why the guy showed up in the first place.
I feel like many of the things I used to think were stupid aren't stupid anymore too. Many of the things I thought of as wrong were only wrong to me because someone else told me they were. To each their own though, as long as you're not murdering the masses and are happy it works. If you want to take it a step further, as long as you're being completely honest with yourself you'll know if it works or not.

Well; i've decided to bite the bullet and take the plunge. I'm going to have the surgery I'm going to try for this girl who i've liked for a fair amount of time; but i'm clueless about how to do it.
Original plan was to ask her if she wanted to go for a coffee or something at a local place for a bit of a catch-up (haven't seen her in person for a while, but we talk on FB), but I dunno any decent local places due to my lack of willingness to pay more for a small cup of liquid than it costs to make several large mugs of it at home.
I also dunno how to ask her, since the only medium of communication we have is currently... the internet. My phone has just about given up on life and my brother is too much of a **** to risk a landline (he's 15 and still finds it fun to eavesdrop, interrupt using other phones in the house etc. etc.).
Which ties in slightly to the thread; does it really matter how a guy asks a girl out somewhere? I mean, if a face-to-face ask is possible, then it might, but if it isn't and telephone is unlikely (because my aforementioned phone is all but dead, I have no numbers to transfer across to my dad's old phone that i'm using till I get a new one) then would someone really mind if you used a less personal means to simply organise it?
The best that could happen is that they politely decline (I have low expectations so I don't die as much inside when things don't go as hoped) with the worst being that they go silent and either don't reply, or reply with those "Yeah, I think you're creepy and you're going to stalk me..." undertones hidden by a facade (cba with the fancy 'c') of politeness that inevitably ends with eeeeeeeveryone knowing that I asked her and communication being cut off because they no longer wish to acknowledge my existence (which i'm used to by now).

If you've been talking via facebook, then simply PM her, although face-to-face is preferable. You might as well try. You never know. A quick word of advice though- man up and prepare to pay for a coffee shop trip. It could be the best investment you ever make.

That was the only thing I was sure about to be honest
It seems like there's a pretty unanimous decision on whether to do it or not (though I may be wrong ¬.¬) but the major conflict is how:
I wasn't thinking FB straight away, but thus far i've been told not to use it and yes, do use it (since the internet is my only means >.< ), so I need moar info!
If it's over Facebook,then I would see nothing wrong with sending her a message saying "Hey,I was wondering if you'd like to go for a cup of coffee sometime?"
Although face to face is always preferable,if it's not an option at the moment,go with the message.
Actually, there would be nothing wrong with asking her to coffee on facebook, just whatever you do, don't make it a date. If you were to, let's say, ask her to coffee just because you felt like coffee or something (insert generic but valid excuse as to why you would want coffee with her), AND THEN ask her out to a date at the movies while at your coffee meeting, you should be golden.

Find an intermediary in real life and talk via them.
FB is the main source of comms since I left college for this apprenticeship, so an FB message is the easiest way of doing it. Face to face would require monitoring, planning and might actually be seen as a little stalkerish xD

Mostly because it's a great indicator. If a person is obsessed about facebook and tries to get me to sign up, I know I probably don't want to get too close to them anyway ^.^

Quite convenient.
I still believe the "old ways" are best when it comes to asking someone out...pick up a phone and call,talk with them in person.
But..then again,my generation didn't have the benefit of "the internets" when it came to social contact/dating...we had to actually interact on a "closer" level.
I would rather propose a date to his or her face than on the phone. It's more personal that way, and for some reason my voice and manner of speaking doesn't really carry that well over phone lines.

Obsession with facebook seems a little strange (yeah, i'll use it, but not for 100% everything 100% of the time) and it really is an indicator if they get you to sign up and you find out they prefer to update umpteen times per minute.
As for asking someone out, I prefer face-to-face too; it allows emotions to be read better etc. but for times when that's not possible and nor is calling, the internet can be a fairly reliable last chance attempt, and you only really need to do it once if you can arrange next meet-ups at the end of the first, though that itself can make you seem over-eager to some people.

Honestly, asking for coffee by facebook is kind of a cop-out and smacks of insincerity and a lack of imagination or even an awareness of this girl as a person.
Firstly, internet or texting should be the last method for asking her. If speaking face to face is impossible, pick up your dieing phone and make a call. It's more personal and shows that you actually are confident enough to ask her directly.
Secondly, "coffee" dates are so blah. Do you know anything about this girl at all? What does she like to do? Does she like art or history? Is there a museum nearby? If so, try something like this, "Hey, I was thinking about going to the XYZ museum to check out the ABC exhibit, but I really didn't want to go by myself. I remembered that you were into ABC, so I thought it might be fun to go together."
Show confidence without arrogance and a genuine interest in what the girl finds fun/interesting/intriguing will get you a thousand times farther than sending a Facebook message invitation for coffee. (I mean seriously, how many of those Facebook messages get sent every day? 500,000?) Do something to set yourself apart from all the other guys by being direct and polite and appealing to the girls interests.
Lastly, contribute to the conversation, but don't dominate it. Let her talk as much as she wants and pay attention to what she's saying. Fill in the conversation as you need to, answer her questions simply and honestly while asking your own to keep her talking. It's amazing how good a conversationalist she will think you are if you merely let her talk and show that you are interested in what she's saying. Also, don't feel obligated to fill in the natural silences that happen during an outing with a girl; if the two of you can feel comfortable together even while every second isn't being filled with chatter, then there is a real chemistry there.
It has no numbers on it for a start, I did mention that.
Secondly, "coffee" dates are so blah.
It isn't a date, it's a catch-up that could develop a point where I could ask if she wants to go somewhere at some point face-to-face.
There's also no (good) history or art stuff that isn't in Manchester; it isn't the USA where there's an Exhibit on every corner and a museum on every block
Next best thing is the cinema really, but I don't know if there's anything she wants to see (which is something I could ask her face-to-face during the catch-up).

A coffee "meeting" to catch up is a good start,it places you in a face to face situation from which the conversation can suggest your next "move",if you find yourself discussing film & current movies,it's a perfect segway into asking her out to see a film,same with discussions on cuisine leading to a possible invotation to go out for a meal...the opportunities present themselves as the conversation is made.

If you were to, let's say, ask her to coffee just because you felt like coffee or something (insert generic but valid excuse as to why you would want coffee with her), AND THEN ask her out to a date at the movies while at your coffee meeting, you should be golden.
Solid, solid advice. +10 Cannerus points You also get the benefit of seeing if there's chemistry before you really ask. I'd say don't make the excuse if you don't have to, just indicate that "you'd like to" if she probes.
Beyond that, I think Facebook is fine for casual non-date sort of date. In person is ideal, but whatever means available I say. One big thing: if she seems interested, keep a strong face on. You do NOT want to get friend zoned. Seem confident, be yourself, and emphasize your strong qualities and that you're comfy with who you are. Be the one chased, because it's always better that way. I can give you specifics if anyone feels like I'm encouraging you to be some macho douchebag.

Contrary to most guy's way of thinking, women really aren't impressed by being asked out by e-mail or text messages. It's almost as bad as getting someone else to do it for you.
Companies like Men's Health Magazine and Cosmo are always dong surveys about this kind of thing. Women, by and large, consider e-mails and texting to be way too impersonal. They'd rather hear your voice.
If you absolutely must make the first move over Facebook, ask for her number so that you can talk and reconnect sometime. From there, you can ask to go do something together. It's far more real that way, and women appreciate that, regardless of whether it's the "love of your life" or just someone you want to hook up with, or anything in between.

I lol'd at the typo, Cosmo is interested in dong serveys
If it'd be hard to talk to them otherwise, use facebook, but phone is preferred. I did the initial ask in person, then when face to face was impossible, details and further conversations were had through FB.
I would also disgree with the idea that new modes of communication are impersonal, if the female in question is savvy in such means of communication, why would she consider that impersonal? Now using too much internet slang will make you seem like a dork who can't disengage from the web for while.
I doubt even 'most' men think it's 'impressive'; surveys done by glossy mags are a load of BS, especially those that like to generalise based off the results of a tiny handful of men/women that were probably hand-picked by staff instead of asked at random. What they do is like going into a smoker's area and saying you surveyed 10 people who were in favour of lifting the smoking ban, or going into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and saying that 80% of all males are actively trying to quit drinking, because you interviewed 5 people and 1 guy wasn't.
All these surveys and studies done on people up and down the country to gauge people's ways of thinking baffle me, as neither I nor anybody I know have been interviewed for these things, in fact, i reckon I could stand in the middle of town and survey 500 people that walk by me and still come out with a majority 'No, i've never been surveyed before now'.
As for me, IM and crap has always been a last resort, and this is a last resort situation. My mobile phone is knacked, my landline is bugged by my brother who listens in eagerly and there's little chance of seeing her face-to-face without arranging something, which brings us back to the problem of arranging it.
Trust me, please, i'm not a complete newbie to this stuff, and other people have already confirmed that this situation is calling for a last resort option. I'd prefer to be face-to-face or even on the phellytone, but that can't happen right now.
Mostly because it's a great indicator. If a person is obsessed about facebook and tries to get me to sign up, I know I probably don't want to get too close to them anyway ^.^
Quite convenient.
I still believe the "old ways" are best when it comes to asking someone out...pick up a phone and call,talk with them in person.
But..then again,my generation didn't have the benefit of "the internets" when it came to social contact/dating...we had to actually interact on a "closer" level.

A Television commentator from many years ago,he'd close each episode of 60 minutes with his own little rants,most of which started " Did any of you ever notice??.." or .." Did you ever wonder why??"

Andy Rooney can be really funny sometimes, except I'm pretty sure he's not trying to be. His sardonic take on the superbowl a while ago was quite funny.

My Mum and Dad are getting divorced atm, and so my Mum lives somewhere else. My Dad is at work from 7:10am till 7pm and i'm either with him or at home with my brother who gets home from school at 3:30pm.
And no, my brother doesn't work that way. Telling him to 'feth off' will spark a string of sarcastic laughter from him and he won't move a muscle unless he wants to. He's violent, abusive and all-around uncontrollable; most people said he would grow out of being a gakface when he was younger, but he's just gotten worse and worse. I'm actually pretty damn sure any visits I make to him in the future will be to a prison, 'cos that's the only place I can see him going if he can't stop realising that the world doesn't revolve around him.
Unplugging and hiding other phones is impossible. He'll just start attacking me or coming over and abusing me whilst i'm on the working one; plus one of them is in his room, so i'll never be able to get to it, nevermind unplug it. If our Dad is home, then he's the next port of call for him, and somehow, despite my brother lying his face off for the past god-knows-how-many years, he's still a good enough liar to scoop a whole chunk of blame off himself and dump it on someone else. Unplugging a phone so i can have a private conversation seems fine unless he's giving the details, then it makes what i'm doing seem akin to mass-murder.

Lock him out? That requires me getting him out and keeping him there with no repurcussions; I could be kicked out if my Dad knows that i've been locking my brother out (yes, I believe i've been old enough to be legally kicked out for almost 2 years), either that or sent to live with my Mum, who has no landline, or computer.
Send him down the shops with chocolate bar money? He's 15, not 5. I dunno how that works in America but here you'd be told to bugger off, albeit in a more vulgar way.
I don't have anyone who I can use the mobile of. Nobody I know IRL lives near enough nor considers me enough of a friend for it to be possible. There's a reason why i've spent every friday/saturday night for the last few years sat at home with nothing to do except go on WoW etc. I was just that weirdo who had a group of close friends in school, anyone outside that group would abandon me in a heartbeat. But that close group has since scattered, with the closest guy being 30mins-1 hour away and either in college or busy elsewhere.
Pay-phone is the only other viable option, but the only one I know of outside Stockport is in my local village... and it hasn't worked for ~5 years... unless it's worth spending £2 on a return train ticket just to use the payphones at the station (this would require me getting her number again and then hoping she picks up and it's not turned off/she's busy), and then waiting an hour for the return train, i'm in the middle of one of the largest inconveniences ever.
Your younger brother sounds like he has some 'issues', in all honesty is he handicapped in some fashion?
Perhaps you could get your dad to keep him distracted for long enough for you to make a call. You have a right to a private life, your dad should appreciate this.
Can't you somehow arrange to be in the house before your brother gets home? I mean how are you on the internet right now? Where's a phone? You know it would be better if you do it face to face. Doesn't matter if you have to go on some stupid journey and wait in the rain for an hour because you'll just be "passing by" and "hey, I'll be in town on saturday, what to meet up for a coffee?"
Dunno if he's handicapped; ever since a simple tonsillectomy was buggered up by our local hospital and he almost died (yeah, this didn't precede his terrible behaviour, but it can't have helped) he hasn't trusted any doctor; he'll decline doctor's appointments when he's ill and won't go near the hospital anymore (the one he was rushed to was since shut down by the old Government). If it was psychological, someone would have to come to him, and that would require him wanting to do it.
Dad distracting him might work, but he usually resorts to shouting "Get out!" (or other vulgar language) if you stand in his room for more than 10 seconds, and he won't stop until you leave or he pushes you out.
Arranging to be home before him is... problematic. I go to work with my dad until next week, and he works an hour away. Having him take me home half-way through the workday so I can make a phonecall isn;'t likely to go down well. As for phones at the office, company policy is that they can't be used for personal calls, which are limited to using your mobile phone.
I'm on the internet now because it's my lunchbreak.
I know F2F is better, but I can't do that, I don't know what she does and where she goes every second of her life. Best before internet is the station pay-phone.

Do they have prepaid mobile phones there? That would be an ideal solution. They are cheap and literally throwaway.

Frazzeled's right. A burn phone would be perfect. Failing that, have him ship some of his wiener dogs over. That might fix it.

It's quite simple. As a "nerd", one is expected to be devilishly smart. Thus, all the hot and dumber-than-a-bag-of-dead-skunks girls come to you.
You have the reputation for being smart. Use that to your advantage.

Use Amazon to order a prepaid, be sure to keep it on your person at all times or in a place where he'll never get it (locked safe?). Check before you order that the company has coverage in your area. Most company websites have maps showing their signal ranges.
Well as a younger brother I can say that it doesn't work. Actually, I try to be nice to my older brother, and as such, no beating. And now I'm just as tall as him.
My younger Brother is now an RN working on an MD,I like to believe that my constant pummeling of him in our youth fostered his interest in the medical field.
This is not solely a female thing. Men like to be the taller one in a couple as it subscribes to his role as the dominant one in the relationship. Women like taller men because it is a signature of testosterone. But above all that a couple walking down the street side by side with a tall female and short male just looks awkward and Girls in particular seem fairly concious of that.
yeah some girls really like tall guys. They never ever brag about having a short boyfriend.. Ever.
To be fair some of us are 5'8 ourselves. I dated a couple guys who were shorter than me and it just doesn't feel right.
Well that sucks for me because I'm 5'6" and most of the good-looking girls are taller than me.
It's kind of a biological thing. Women are predisposed to like taller men. It's a genetic advantage.
It's suggested that it's "hardwired" into Females,after thousands of years of evolution,that taller Males =healthier/better mates.
So a 5'10" sailor screams "I'm mad hot. Have sex with me and I will make you a god"?
Not exactly,but...in some researchers opinions,woman are attracted to taller men due to the fact that for thousands of years a taller Male represented a stronger,healthier, more capable provider/protector.
...When the Sabre tooth tiger showed up,apparently it was a better idea to have the tall/strong mate.

It's not the tiger that women need to worry about - it's the 5'6" guy. Simply by being bigger and stronger, 5'10" guy had a better chance of beating the little dude down to keep his girl.
This conversation is going into something I'd like to discuss.
I have a 5'1" friend. He is one of the vilest, most swear filled people I've ever met. Yet when I tell people he's not the cute midget they make him out to be, they stand in shock.
How do I explain to women that no matter a man's height, he's going to out curse a sailor when he's in a bind?

Simply tell them that he suffer from LMS, and they'll nod their heads sadly in understanding.

Err... What?
LMS= Little Man Syndrome
AH.
You see, this "little man" plays Eldar. Quite fiercely. He also plays 'Nids. This is one of the manliest men I know, in fact. And women treat him like a human teddy bear. I have a lot of short friends, and they all seem to be very swear filled and, how do I put this, malevolent people. One of them watched me break my arm and they laughed. I laughed when he tripped, and a girl slapped me while two others went to check on him.

That's slowed. But that's what happens when you look manly.
Apparently. Mate its the natural order. Do not disturb the natural order or else gak will happen. Like gak you have never seen before. That git got what he deserved by falling! Never laugh at a man's broken misery. Only if it is a break-up between two people you hate with a passion. then its gaking hilarious. (Normal response by a teenager) Ok heres the real version. Basically every popular or high topped Guy I know talks just like that. Replace all the gaks, gits, and add additional swear words and you got kids that I hate with a fiery passion? Ever meet one of these guy's or gals? But apart from that not all of them are that bad its just the average dictionary for my generation. Hell we have stereotypes for everyone. And we orgainize others into groups and such according to how weird you are. And I had an agruement with someone the other day about normal people. And I said. "Normal people do not exist, because normal implies nothing ever good, bad, hurtful, different or no change occurs in their life. Everyday we change so we cannot be normal in any circumstances. You can't call yourself normal because that is self implied which makes it social weird and hence you are not normal."
Wikipedia wrote: In 2007, research by the University of Central Lancashire suggested that the Napoleon complex (described in terms of the theory that shorter men are more aggressive to dominate those who are taller than they are) may be a myth. The study discovered that short men (below 5'5" [1.65 m]) were less likely to lose their temper than men of average height. The experiment involved subjects dueling each other with sticks, with one subject deliberately rapping the other's knuckles. Heart monitors revealed that the taller men were more likely to lose their tempers and hit back. University of Central Lancashire lecturer Dr Mike Eslea commented that "when people see a short man being aggressive, they are likely to think it is due to his size, simply because that attribute is obvious and grabs their attention."[2]
Seems like the theory might be wrong. I'm just pointing it out because on other forums I've heard people, especially women, denounce short men that aren't cuddly and quiet to be LMSing, overcompensating, confidence-less wusses.

Yes, because human psychology, ie, figuring out why we do what we do and how our brains work isn't of value at all, but figuring out the meaning of the sounds crickets make is imperative.

Ugh, before you get into that argument can we just be clear that any significant research on human psychology is unlikely to be coming out of a tin pot university like UCLAN. Plus as I said the overall point of that research was dumb as it doesn't take a scientist to work out that not all small men have an inferiority complex and the idea that they do is a stereotype.

FAUX news is a biased piece of gak. Big whoop. The bad part is that they claim to be "fair and unbiased". Of course, if you want your full dose of fox-bashing, as well as some propaganda attacking propaganda, just watch the documentary "Outfoxed".
Is is kind of sad that I immediately just type "gak", instead of the usual swear word?
Don't worry. Its fox news. You should see their anonymous crap. They fail. See people who claim to be the best at telling what a troll is fails. I really hate the fact that Fox news trys and gets into the gaming world and fails. Its not a source. Its an example of growing stupidity. I think I posted that link like a few weeks ago.
Last week, in fact, when someone in this thread linked to it.
Which also coincided with me cleaning and loading my gun.
Hrm.
Oh really? What about the article "Internet trolls lurk in chat rooms" made you think he was mentioning "faux news as if somehow it is a reputable source."
Mostly, the fact that it's Fox news. It's a bullgak conservative propaganda machine. I mean for feth sakes they're still an agenda that Obama isn't an American citizen.

Yeh, I agree. The point is I don't really think Asherian Command was attaching that much weight to it, considering the context he was talking when he linked it. As I see it he was using it as an askew way of suggesting trolling. Not putting all his faith in fox news.

I think it's a bad experiment.
In the experiment, the little man and big guy are *already* in physical conflict, so it's fight-or-flight time. Naturally, the big guy will slap the little guy down, because that's what's coded in his genes. The only way it would be better is to put a half-naked, pretty girl in the room. The big guy would probably hammer the small guy to impress the girl. Alpha dog growls, and the small dog tucks its tail.
But that's not really testing LMS. LMS is compensating for smallness by being verbally aggressive, *before* actual physical conflict starts, to avoid being physically dominated by the big guy, because big guys *will* use their size to their advantage once things turn physical. A good example of this is Spike Lee - he'll use the dozens to verbally rip you a new one, in lieu of a physical fight which he'd lose.

I think it hit most of the good ones upfront:
- women are always cold for no good reason, but can't put on a sweater
- women leave the lights on, even if they're not in the room
- women talk a lot
- women complain a lot
- women expect men to understand there's a problem
- women don't understand that raising the toilet seat is a good thing
If I didn't have to deal with any of the above as problems, I'd be a happy man.
Hell, if I could pick just one to do away with, I'd be a hero to all men.

You don't want us to raise the toilet seat when we pee?
OK, we can stop doing that, but you're not going to like it...
No, the facepalm wasn't from that, so much as from you categorically insulting half of the population. It really should be no surprise that misogyny is something I would react negatively to...

If you actually took that as some sort of actual insult against women, I apologize. It should have been taken as a mere summary of things which I found funny and amusing (but with a grain of truth). I apologize.
That said, if I were to pee in your toilet without raising the seat, I suspect you're react negatively to that, too.
I don't think it's doing it as much as leaving it there afterwards.
When I come to take a number 2 and I have to put the seat down, it's an extra second or two that I could've spent mentally preparing myself for the feeling of warm arse hitting cold toilet seat!

The reason for that is that these silly-season stories are promoted by PR companies working on behalf of various companies that want a certain story promoted. The scientist is either funded by the company or is merely pleased to have their name promoted for free. But there's a commercial interest somewhere. Actual science goes largely unreported or is presented in a very crude form or worse still whole pieces of work are fished through for certain minor points which are then given excessive attention for the sake of a political point. This is especially the problem with things like GM and climate change.

One thing I don't understand is why men think feminist is an insult...
Feminism = equality between genders, and in order for it to be equal it must apply to both genders, both male and female liberation. That is to say, for example, the law should support the rights of both husband and wife equally in a divorce battle, or both father and mother in a custody battle. "Metrosexuals" IE, somewhat feminine but still straight males, shouldn't be mocked for their behavior, but neither should butch women.
The more extreme ones, the ones who will berrate a guy for holding the door open for them or asking if they need help carrying anything (even if they would've done so regardless of gender); the ones that will take common courtesy as sexism; are the ones that really boil my blood.
If you're all for equality, fine by me, but there are some that take this 'equality' too far.
Honestly Cannerus,just when I figure you can no longer surprise me...you do. 
I can have plenty of fun without it, but sometimes things are extra fun with it. Regardless, let's make this happen! Since Melissia is the picky one, where are we going?

Hoping to at least hit 6' by the time I'm 18.
You also get the benefit of seeing if there's chemistry before you really ask. I'd say don't make the excuse if you don't have to, just indicate that "you'd like to" if she probes.
